Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Eden: God created the world and holds all power over it. Residents have the right to do anything they please except eat of the fruit of one tree.
Monarchy: God delegated His powers to the king, who has the right to do anything he pleases. Residents have no rights, only privileges specifically granted to them by the king.
United States of America in 1776: God gave all rights and powers to The People; the government has no rights and only the powers specifically granted to it by The Constitution.
Socialism: There is no God. Government bureaucrats hold all power and can do anything they please. Residents have no rights, only privileges specifically granted to them by The Party.
The Obama Administration . . . .
I’ll take a guess; like Socialism, only with more snide pettiness.
0bamaism: 0bumbler is a supreme king with powers vested to him by Providence. He has the right to do anything he pleases. Residents have no rights and are subservient to the will of King’s appointees. Petty privileges are bestowed only upon the most devout followers of the supreme king.
One size fits all statism.
In many authoritarian states, the Little Sisters of the Poor would be left alone as long as they do not condemn the gov’t.
In Obama/Democrat world, the Little Sisters of the Poor need to be destroyed because they don’t give free birth control pills to their employees.
The only check on Obama is impeachment. There was a time when a political appointee AG or FBI director would have balked at purely political persecutions of the president’s enemies. Those days are gone. If Obama thinks that it is unfair because some people treat him as less than legitimately the President, maybe he should stop acting like a Third World tyrant.
