When your government begins to govern against the will of its people, we can reasonably conclude that they have destroyed the representative republic established by our country's founders.
There's plenty of evidence to support the assertion that our government has gone rogue and is now a tyrannical elite governing for their own benefit to the detriment of the citizens who mistakenly believes they sent them to represent them.
Just look at all the laws and regulations that were forced through against the will of the people.
Obamacare is exhibit A. There has never been even as much as an even split between citizens for and against that horrible law. Yet it is becoming the law of the land, and all of us will be trapped in its clutches by January. A small movement of lawmakers are trying to kill the law by defunding it, but the elites make fun of them. One particular elite calls those congressmen "gooney birds".
The Keystone Pipeline is supported by a huge majority of Americans. Yet the president uses all the power he has, plus some he doesn't have, to block the project.
Fast and Furious isn't a law, but it was a program created from pure political motivation. Eric Holder created the program to funnel assault weapons to Mexican drug cartels, knowing they would be used for criminal activity. The twisted theory was that all those Mexican gangsters would be killing everybody with those American assault weapons and give momentum to their desire to pass new laws outlawing such weapons. Problem was, their illicit plan was exposed, and so far their attempts to outlaw firearms in America have failed. Holder should be in jail, but instead he still is a vocal advocate for disarming the citizenry.
We can only thank God for the silver lining, which is all the laws these elites have been trying to push through against the will of the people that have failed up to this point. Starting with gun bans, they extend to many other issues.
Amnesty for illegal aliens. I choose to use the honest language rather than the silly disguised language the elites use to try to convince us those millions of illegal US residents are just honest, hardworking people who somehow find themselves being persecuted by racists who just don't like them because of their skin color.
Cap and Trade: This completely ridiculous law actually passed the Democrat-dominated House of Representatives, but Republicans barely managed to kill it in the Senate. It's one of the main reasons, along with Obamacare, that Republicans were able to win control of the House.
Card Check: Even some Democrats couldn't support this one. It would have essentially legalized Union extortion and coercion. It would have produced false results that forced unionization on hundreds or perhaps thousands of American companies.
Coal Industry Destruction: The president is accomplishing this one without any help from the elites in congress. He's simply telling the EPA to make regulations on coal-powered electrical generation plants so onerous they are forced to close the plants or convert them to operate on natural gas. So far we're just lucky that gas is relatively cheap. For now.
Nixon resigned in shame in large degree because he unsuccessfully tried to get the IRS to target his political enemies. Obama succeeded in getting the IRS to target his political enemies, yet he and his elite supporters do their best to cover up the scandal.
Obama wants to attack Syria. An overwhelming majority of Americans want him to forget it. Yet it seems likely that he'll end up launching some cruise missiles into the country anyway. All we can hope is that his actions don't escalate the Syrian civil war into a Middle Eastern conflagration that pulls in Syria's neighbors, Israel, and possibly ignite WWIII. All in the midst of a massive reduction in military readiness, which makes America unprepared for any new wars, let alone the third World War.
Obama has managed to coddle our enemies and insult our friends. He promised a change that would get the rest of the world to stop hating America. I guess he succeeded, only rather than hating America, they now have lost all respect for America.
Obama nationalized General Motors and unlawfully sold off Chrysler, then boldly claimed that he had saved the American automobile industry. Meanwhile Detroit is a bankrupt, failed city. Americans not part of the leadership of the UAW objected and were ignored. Obama's top objective was to get GM to bring the Volt, and all-electric car, to market. Nobody bought it, despite outrageous rebates provided by the Federal Government to try to help them sell. The Volt's a running joke.
Obama bailed out the banks, brokerage firms, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Americans objected, but he did it anyway.
Congress pushed through a law nationalizing Student Loans. It's been a disaster. College students are racking up unprecedented debt to pay the outrageous tuition and fees hiked out of sight by their universities, then can't find a job and are unable to repay. That law got pushed through so fast that there was no time for opposition to get organized.
When pressed on the poor economy, he mostly continues to blame his predecessor. But his only economic solutions are higher taxes and more regulation, which of course effects the economy negatively. He's either bent on destroying American business or is clueless about what makes American business work. I have concluded it's the former.
In his first term, I considered Obama as about the equivalent of Jimmy Carter in terms of the race to become the worst president in my lifetime. Now he's surpassed the peanut farmer from Georgia, hands-down.
