Great analysis! Just posted with one tiny addition (hopefully ok): "That is why tyrants must seize control of a country's economy, smother it outright or distribute it among their friends who will then turn [it] into a bribe factory, as is the case under Russia's Putin."

What can we do in practical terms? Wear buttons. I have a suggestion for a button: "I'm an American, Not an Obamian."

Will you make those for me, Lemon?

Attend "tea parties" in your city. Write letters to the editor. Blog and blog again about it.

If one or two of his policies really get under your skin harp on those to family, friends and anyone who will listen.

President Narcissus Obama is extremely vulnerable to this. It is working. Just last night ABC's Nightline had a brief feature on how and why Obama's popularity is now falling. People like his personality but dislike his policies regard the economy, bailouts, healthcare and yes, Iran.

Just twelve hours later Narcissus held a press conference. Even the reporters seemed to be losing patient. Many had a look and tone as if to say, "We just don't believe you anymore."

"Here, we're trying to stop Obama at Cap and Trade, which is going to KILL our state. Do what's most relevant where you are, but do something. And the sooner the better."

Cap & Trade? Don't worry. If C&T doesn't "kill" your state, then obummer's mass amnesty of 20+ million illegals will not only be the death blow to your state, but likely to this country as well.

And it's not just the 20 million or so here currently! Considering chain migration, that number could easily exceed 60 million over the next 3-5 years, mostly from third-world latin America if passed....

Voters With Voices and Signs should be haunting their senators and representatives at every event, dedication ceremony, speech, glad-handing and baby- holding appearance in their state. If you really want to stop this and see Obama impeached - or even just slowed down - I'm afraid you'll have to get off your butts and community-organize right back. Take turns camping out at your statehouse, government offices, courthouses, whatever is close.

We're not going to get the Change WE Want simply by moaning on the innernut. Fourth of July is coming up, and there are tea party protests all over the country. They need all the warm bodies they can muster, because the AP automatically under-reports opposition crowd sizes. If you prefer to sit by the pool or walk the dog, nothing will happen except what SK has outlined here.

It's inconvenient to get active and become a real participant-citizen, but you'll be even more miserable when you have to answer to your grandchildren for this calamity. Start locally with your friends, and build and build. Engage the media in your town, learn to write a press release and hold press conferences, preach outside the choir.

You'll be surprised at how much a small group of dedicated folks can accomplish. We're doing it here in WV - mostly older folks who remember what made America great, remember and personify American values, have talents and skills honed over a lifetime, and have more time on our hands than our children, who are now raising their children.

Here, we're trying to stop Obama at Cap and Trade, which is going to KILL our state. Do what's most relevant where you are, but do something. And the sooner the better.

I'm not talking about its failures, but its "successes"

the best argument against socialism is living in a socialist country

GM, CAFE, all the bailouts, the national debt, the weakened dollar, and the things yet to come serve as the best arguments

But sir, I must say that it may be too late to use the administration's failures as a denunciation of socialism. We have to do better than that.

Only showing people the real world consequences of Socialism, as practiced by the Obama admin, for them can hope to stop it

Incredible post! What can we do? How do we stop this socialism? It's one thing to be aware of these things, how the hell do we stop it?

Well I keep insisting the problems in America are spiritual in nature.
until that is fixed nothing will work.

As we get more and more socialistic things will deteriorate even more.

Where is the impeach Obama campaign? The buttons are all made up and waiting!!
