This is a neo-Stalinist putsch, and it is a fait accompli.

Wake the hell up.

Yes.

Why isn't Congress stopping him ?

I think TR, Wilson, FDR, JFK, LBJ, and BJ were first. the Jackass is finishing the deal.

Judging from the silence, seems like at least half of the politicians are at least sympathetic to the communist party….More than a few actually are communists.

Anyone with the slightest inkling of world history and particularly of the history of the Marxist socialist movement from Chicago in this nation can't deny it. That some in the Democrat Party weren't completely freaked out by 0bama, Hillary, Rahm Emanuel, Axelrod and the others shows that their party IS the Democrat Socialist Party. ''Introducing?'' It's been the plan for decades and 0bama is the front man they have been working to create.

Yes, Obama is, and he and his henchmen must be stopped. Everyone must vote in November to oust these traitors.

That's been the plan all along and the stupid voters went along with it. They wanted all the freebies without having to pay for them.

It's now probably too late to turn things around, particularly if the Mulatto Kid is re-elected.

#5, agree with you. Everyone surrounding 0 adheres to the same ideology.

As #2 stated, where's Congress?

The various national socialists differ from Lord Zero in that the former put the interests of their respective nations first while the latter seeks only to dismantle what once was ours.

Also, has any Republican ever been as effective in moving us to the right as Zero has been in moving us far leftward, at that in under 4 years? His progress and the lack of traction shown by his would-be resistance are both remarkable.

I believe Mussolini and his Fascists provide the best comparison. At least for Obama's first term. O will be much more authoritarian and uncontrolled in a second.

If you bother, look at Mussolini's first decade. Later he seems to have been literally mad - perhaps syphilis - and started building his new Roman Empire. From then on nothing was coherent.

And we all know what the National Socialist Party in Germany did...

It is not just socialism. It is fascist-socialism.

Where's congress? Ask Reid. Every bill the house sends to the senate, Reid refuses to bring it to the floor. It's called obstructionism. Look at the list of demonrats owning up to being socialists or communists.

The Senate is the problem but the Republicans are without excuse for their silence. It will not be enough to simply oust them. Whether the new administration wants to or not, lawbreakers must not be allowed to get away scot free.

I don't understand why the article headline is a question ? The word IS does not belong . Obama hopes to win re-eelction and then he will have 4 years in which to totally bankrupt the USA.

I don't understand why the article headline is a question ? The word IS does not belong . Obama hopes to win re-election and then he will have 4 years in which to totally bankrupt the USA.

We're really not allowed to criticize anything Obama does because of the racism firewall around him.If you oppose his unconstitutional power grabs,it's because you're a racist,not small government type.If you cling to the Constitution,you're a neanderthal and imperialist.

The left thinks he's doing a spectacular job,that's why they don't feel any election threat.The left is very overconfident that Obama will win.

All I keep hearing,even from our side that Romney had a couple bad weeks which is absurd because he doesn't have the power to do anything destructive. In the same time period,you've had the Libyan debacle where Obama sent his tool chest of fools out to spin with one lie after another.

Gee, according to BOR the jackbootlicker, we must adopt the Clington criminal law approach:
the citizenry must prove socialism ''beyond a reasonable doubt'', or remain silent and docile--so that BOR may keep his job, and his Gucci loafers.

And golly, don't ask BOR or the MFM to 'investigate' all these outlandish policies as alien to a Constitutional Republic and repugnant to a Capitalistic eco system.

Nooo, we must passively accept the torrents of propaganda, until we get an admission of guilt in court of law, on the record, witnessed by 6 imams and a busload of MBros.

Ignore the fact that BurquaBari nicked his '08 slogan came from the Int'l Comm party
['Oh yes, he did'] and his current bit of stupidity comes from the eurosocialists [the English translation of ''!Adelante!'' etc]

BORbot is still flogging the Admin's canard that *the ''movie'' made them do it*.
For this alone he should be fired.

Duh! Is this author,stupid or just naive? I would call it communism and he is,the dick-tator!

"983 executive orders" !!! Good lord! Obama decided what the law was 983 times!?!?!?

Congress? What can congress do? So long as the dems can prevent an impeachment conviction, Congress can do NOTHING. And frankly....the VAST majority of democrats believe that Obama is doing the right thing.

Viva La Revolution!!

where would I find the background on John's comment that the Obama family costs the USA more than 20 times the cost of the British royal family?

I think our Congresscritters must be skeert.... of being compared to McCarthy... OOOHH!

But we know, McCarthy was RIGHT. He has been demonized by those very communists he sought to eradicate from our Halls of Congress.

Alinsky Rule #5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
Alinsky Rule #13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

There ya go. Not only are we raaaaaaaaacist, which we are not, we're also afraid to call THEM what THEY ARE.

My grandfather claimed that was exactly what fdr was doing.

#1 Hey, as long as people like that miserable soul in Cleveland get their Obama phone, why wake up? What we have to deal with now is that a majority of citizens are fine with creeping National Socialism. That is what is really scary.

Reagan was right, we only two generations away from losing it all. One more to go.

We've been expecting nothing less from this Marxist traitor.

from the national register, bush signed 219 and obama has signed 135 so far - not sure where the author's numbers are coming from

Congress is Democrat. They are accomplices.

Agree with other posters, where in the heck is Congress? Republicans in the House and Senate are more afraid of the press, than they love America. The Republicans in Congress should be ashamed of themselves. Look at how they let Michelle Bachmann twist in the wind over the Huma Abedin letter she sent.

Dear Democrats,

Answer this honestly:
Does the USA need more socialism, or less?

Can't answer honestly, can you?

Regarding the 983 Exec orders: I've received chain mail citing this number but I could only find 135 or so.
While I agree with the column, if this number is wrong it weakens Hinderaker's case.

Okay. I'm praying Ldotters and other Conservatives quit telling me to "wake up"

I'm awake. Been awake. Haven't been sleeping on the job. Quit telling the rest of us to "wake up"

I'm no genius, n=but even I know what we're doing politically is not working. Hasn't been working, apparently is never going to work in getting America back to a Constitutional basis.

Instead of telling me to "wake up" to wake up, tell me what you're going to do that turns this ship away from Socialism.

If say Vote! then you've already lost.

Thanks 29! Apparently from some spurious email that went viral, with very few bothering to consult the National Archives for the truth. Surprised to see a good columnist get tripped up by this. Any interested to verify here's the url: http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/executive-orders
BTW, Neither Mussolini nor Hitler needed hundreds, nor even dozens of edicts to consolidate absolute power. Louis the XIV said simply "L'Etat, c'est moi!" I am the state. I expect that out of King Barky the Bumbler and his Hussein Clown Posse any day now.

Obama's father greatly admired Hitler, Mao and Stalin...Obama and Holder are both hateful racists....think evil cannot come to the USA? It's here ...

#13 You are so right to point out that every bill the Republicans get passed in the House is killed by Reid in the Senate--no vote even allowed. BUT all you hear on the news is that those wiley Republicans are obstructionists. The public hears it over and over. I do groups with low to low middle income individuals and they are always saying that Republicans block everything! I guess it is hard to get the truth out there when all the media-INCLUDING FOX are so against us! How else to you get out the word? Do Americans really want socialism? Probably not if they understood what is entails, but no one is making clear what is at stake here. I don't altogether blame Republicans--it is hard to get the message out when there is no media support! Pat Cadell is right!

We have seen this before.
In India.
Remember Indira Ghandi?
"Indira is India, and India is Indira."

That did not work out too well

Her Palace Guard took exception to Her Royal Highness.

How long do you expect this to take math man? When will Americans notice he is the dictator tearing down our country?I think it may be too late...

It's baffling why the author - someone who's articles I have enjoyed for some time - needed a question mark in the headline, as though this hasn't been pretty evident since at least 2008.

I have said this many times before, but it still needs repeating many times. If this country continues on it's current path, the only way to correct it is just what Thomas Jefferson wrote. And that is whenever a tyrannical government comes to power over the citizenry, it is the DUTY of the citizens to rise up and revolt against the government and install a new government. And right now, I don't really see another way. There are some parts of our Constitution that need to be changed(think term limits) and some that need to be repealed(the 17th amendment). There are more, but an intelligent panel of men and women could work that out. After, we now have 236 years of experience to draw upon. And if a revolution isn't possible, there is always the clause that allows a new Constitutional Convention that can be called for by enough of the states.

But, the most overriding act that needs to be accomplished NOW is to get rid of Obozo and his entire bunch of clowns.

Agree with #5. Can we stop it? I don't know. We all have to vote like dems in Nov....vote early, vote often and get all your dead relatives out to vote. Fight fire with fire. We have to save our country!

The replacement seems to be posing a more difficult task than we thought.....

The laundry list of impeachable offenses grows daily. Where is John Boehner? Sucking his thumb most likely.

Boehner`s speakership must be challenged by the House members in January 2013. If Obama wins reelection he must not be allowed to continue. We the People an our freedoms are more important than Obama!!

Hoover primed the pump for FDR in the same manner Bush prepared the ground for Obama.

Regardless of who wins the election, the Tea Party must hold both parties accountable by warming up Allen West in the bullpen.

If (please, please) Romney were to win and the spending doesn't cease patriots such as ourselves will be marginilized for not holding Romney and Ryans feet to the fire.

A warning to all politicians, we know what the problem is.

It's the spending stupid!TEA!

What gave you the first clue Sir? woodrow wilson, rosseyvelt, lbj, karter or das current resident queen rat 0bower?

We offer fun, , timely, and permanent solutions.

No he didn't introduced FDR and other democrat president but the republicans didn't stop it or atleast try to reverse it. With Obama and the unions ,the media and the democrats it will become a complete take over of gov. as socialism ans sugar coat as "Progerssive" gov.

Its very scary being awake and seeing the forest for the trees. Thats why America chooses to sleep. Reality sucks. Reality TV doesnt.

The U.S.A. has been heading toward socialism since F.D.R. Government rarely solves anything.

#29, I believe he was referring only to Bush and Obama's first terms, respectively. That would make sense since the number for Bush seems a bit low.

# 13 & 37 are so very on target,VERY. It IS the Dem Senate Leader who controls the agenda and I have watched Sens. Sessions,IsKacson,DeMint,mccain,Thune stand in the well and in "Senate speak" point out what Reid is doing, but the rules of the Senate are what they are and Reid wins.

Perhaps those Rs whom so many here castigate choose to shun the "headlines" that would destroy them,because they are so totally aware of the incipient socialistic leaning of so many there, is because they ARE fighting against the shift and mean to hang on just a bit more to continue the fight. IMHO, there are 46 Rs in the Senate who will retake their oaths along with 4-5 newly electeds and will save our Republic.

If Dems remain in control,then we will be a Socialist Nation.

No he's shoving it down our throats!

Mussolini-style Fascism:

State control (not ownership) of business.

State power concentrated in the Executive (i.e. The Leader).

Cultivation of a personality cult of The Leader.

Suppression of opposition to The State (i.e. The Leader)

Elevation of the State's interests over individual liberties.

There's fixing to be a fight!

Remember how Benito and Clara ended up?

No. 2 I can sum it up in two words, "Exective Order" and No. 21 I disagree, if you vote Obama there will be no more free elections. America if you have never prayed start, if you do pray you had better pray like you have never prayed before. America needs God's mercy and grace restored to her.

Apply Occam's Razor here. One need not go beyond the facts that Obama hates the U.S. and hates white people.

The U.S. must be punished for its Imperialism. Third world underdevelopment is not created by the lack of social, intellectual, economic and other failings of these countries, but by rapacious imperialism. Dreams From My Father: “A luxury cruise liner throws away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital see in a year.”

Hatred of white people. Twenty years in the pews of a Black Liberation Theology 'church' ingesting the spews of that racist, Jeremiah Wright, will do that. Here's some of their 'theology:'

"Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.

Any questions?

Get Paul Kengor's book THE COMMUNIST. 0 is so far past socialism it isn't funny. He is a Marxist

I don't really see much of an argument here.

On a historical note, it's important to distinguish between National Socialism (the Nazis) and Italian Fascism (Benito and friends). The author seems to conflate the two, but they are conflicting forms of fascism with different emphases. The author designs his argument around Mussolini, but then concludes that this makes him a National Socialist, rather than a Fascist (or, a Hitler rather than a Mussolini).

Additionally, the executive order number has been completely discredited. The president is on pace to sign about as many as Bush did in his eight years (if he's re-elected, of course) and less orders than Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, Johnson, Eisenhower, Truman, and both Roosevelts. Basing arguments on statistics like that one only hurts the discussion.

Exactly right. With the media under his thumb, he will probably succeed...and then America won't be the Land-of-the-Free anymore.

#2, I agree that Congress should be putting up barriers to what he is trying to do, but where is the Judicial Branch? So much that Obama has done is beyond the scope of the Executive Branch; yet, there is not a peep from the Supreme Court. Just a few of the lower courts have gotten involved in ruling against the administration. When a lower court does make a ruling, Obama ignores it, as in the BP drilling case.

Obama doesn't fear the Supreme Court, because he has a corrupt Attorney General who isn't about to bring anything before the Supreme Court that BHO doesn't want them involved in.

This is the kind of information that needs to get out and really fast. If it wasn't for Rush, Sean, Mark Levin and several others, and websites such as Lucianne, Breitbart, and Drudge plus the newer blogs, I would say we don't have a prayer.

I think we can overcome all of this, but we have to realize we are all soldiers now - kind of like the Colonial Patriots. We're going to have to engage in a kind of gorilla warfare with the news.

Stinky would make Adolph Hitler proud

#20 - Should America be pushed into socialism, it's goodbye guns or hello revolution.

Hinderaker, you think so?

agree completely. the only faint silver lining is that if Zippy fails this idea is over for a while. and i like the thought that Zippy is a weak candidate relatively unlikely to succeed, who got it because of the kind heart of Americans who picked him out of sympathy over racial issues. So if he fails, we can warmly thank those people, e.g. Chris Matthews, because it's thanks to them this effort was not made by a substantially better candidate - a charismatic war hero who worked hard, understood the economy, liked some people....

oops, which is not to say we won't one day have a great African-American president, soon I hope; it is only to say that the Ayerses and so on took a short cut via the race issue, and thank God for that.
