Obama is scared, and not about civil rights

The Arizona laws that make it a crime to be undocumented is a threat to Obama and his supporters. But not because it will infringe on civil rights. Obamacare, Cap & Trade, Financial Regulation reform, and a whole host of ideas the fringe elements in control of the Democrat party are putting forth all infringe on civil liberties. Big time! At the rate they are going the only people in this country with any liberty left will be undocumented workers that don’t pay taxes and don’t own property. Everyone else will be a serf to the manor house at 1600 Washington Ave.

So why is he scared
Because the solution that Arizona implemented works. And the rest of the country realizes that you don’t need the federal government to fix big problems with local impact. A combination of changing technology, and a disillusionment with the federal activist political paradigm that has driven politics for the last half century. The truth is, the solution to the most important issues facing Americans today can be dealt with locally.

Scalable Local Activist Paradigm, the future of politics.
In simple terms, it means the right solution comes from the smallest government entity that can that is large enough to deliver a solution and small enough to build a consensus of direct beneficiaries. And the Arizona criminalization of undocumented aliens is an easily understood example. The benefits are extended directly to the legal residents and citizens of Arizona. The consensus is that since the federal government hasn’t effectively provided a solution for the citizens, the citizens would take measures to provide the solutions for themselves. They don’t need the federal government to solve this problem. If America is still the land of liberty, that should be celebrated, not denigrated.

If the states, or counties or even local governments can form a consensus for action that provides direct benefits to the people who have to pay for the solution, and can afford to implement that solution, who needs the federal government? That scares the Obama Administration for the simple reason that on domestic issues it makes Obama irrelevant.

The Arizona criminalization of undocumented aliens is a perfect, easily understood example of how the future government of the United States of America will work. At least as long as a Scalable Local Activism paradigm is embraced by the majority of citizens, and the local entities do not abuse the power they have been granted by their voters. Hopefully, the Republicans will get it. What citizens want is a smaller, less intrusive, less expensive government seriously constrained and seriously downsized.

It isn’t even about the amount of taxes, it is about who is collecting the taxes and who is spending the money. The closer the money stays to the hand of the tax payer, the smaller the number of payoffs, bribes, deals and earmarks there are to dilute funds and reduce the effect on the problems the tax was collected to resolve.

What it is about is power, and S.L.A.P political action is a threat to the fusion that Obama envisions.
Obama and the extremist Democrats who have patiently waited to impose system of federal control that would create velvet chains to enslave everyone to ideals benefit only the powerful and elite political class. This threat scares them. Because all we have to do to end this tyranny is return to the roots and meaning of our great country’s name . Not the Kingdom of America, not the Consolidated Nation of America, not the protectorate of America, and not Obama’s Federal Union of America. We return to being the United States of America. Free, independent, interrelated, and united for the common cause. The USA.

    and usually possessed of so little self-awareness that it never ocurrs to them that they could lose. And when they do lose, they never take responsibility for it by examining their errors but rather just blame somebody, the USSC, a vast rightwing conspiracy, the ignorance of the masses, the “corporate media,” whatever.

    I’m referring now to the caring and sharing, it’s all about feelings Leftist, the vast bulk of them. The hard core communist is a different animal and is very methodical, but I think Comrade Obama, while a communist, is closer to the faculty lounge communist than the armored train and gulag communist.

      …When they realize that no one around them is buying what they’re selling. That’s when they panic.

      And that’s when they strike out at everyone. That’s what you’re seeing in AZ.

      At this point, I’m afraid it won’t be long before an innocent family of tea party protesters is shot down dead in the street by some Obama loyalists. That’s when it’s really gonna hit the fan…

        any sane person could see coming has already happened. I do fear you’re right though, there are some very delusional people on the other side of the ditch and all of Comrade Obama and his Congressional running dogs’ inciting, divisive rhetoric could very well tip one over the edge.

          The feds are getting paid to protect borders, they have failed. I hope states hold back and pursue clawbacks for the feds failing to do their jobs.

      You are right, scared is not the proper term. Obama is in a panic. Thanks for the correction.

    nice one

    that individual states may have options open to them that allow them to resolve local issues. If they would take the initiative in putting those options to good use, then the degree of dependency that exists on the federal government would decrease. I don’t know to what extent state government can keep the federal government from being power hogs, but I sure would love to see individuals on a state and local level acting as if they cared enough to try.

      Television, 1963. Before this time the states had most of the power. Most people accepted this. Then came the marches, the dogs and hoses and perhaps in my mind the most important visual image. George Wallace on the steps of the University of Alabama, facing off against the “nationalized” Alabama National Guard Commander.
      “Governor Wallace, step aside”. Two Democrats, Wallace and Kennedy going against each other.

      In my opinion it was at that point that the people of America believed we could achieve great things working together, and the new medium of TV made it possible. Every President, Senator and Congressman has been elected in an era of this paradigm

      Now the new media means that I don’t need Walter Cronkite or Tom Brokaw to tell me what is important and focus my attention. Cell phones connect everyone and social network gives us the ability to connect. In my opinion, the new media, the new technology came together with Scott Browns election to define a moment in time, when people realize that the old paradigm o Federal Activism isn’t the paradigm that will solve our domestic issues.

      So, for the record, the federal activist paradigm has been widely accepted by the voters only about half a century. The country is a lot older than that.

      Want to change the paradigm? Join a tea party explain the problem. Vote for people that are committed to downsizing the federal government. Start by voting republican, then hold them to the task. It CAN be done.

        I would love to get some feedback on this. One of my personal points of weakness is that I have absolutely NO diplomacy skills. From what I can tell, and perhaps there are those of you on the website who can provide me with some insight on this, people who become actively involved in the realm of politics on any level at all need to have at least some diplomacy skills. I have my strengths, but diplomacy is NOT one of them. I have perpetual grooves in my tongue from biting it so that I don’t end up doing more harm than good. How important are diplomacy skills in this context? All insight appreciated, folks. thanks.

    My guess is most Americans, if they can put faces to the names of politicians, could do so for some of those in Washington.

    Obama, of course. Maybe their congressman. Maybe their two senators.

    Maybe Reid and Pelosi.

    But then turn to their state. Maybe their governor.

    But their two state representatives and state senator? It’s unlikely they know their names, let alone their faces.

    Their county board members? Probably could not name one of them.

    Their city council members? Oh, they might know the name of their mayor, but their council members’ names? Probably not.

    School board members? Unless their kids are in a “struggling” school district, they probably could not name even the head of the school board.

    Last, but certainly not least, the names of their precinct’s precinct committeeman/men of their party. First, they may not even know what a precinct is. They may have heard the term, but would have difficulty defining it. Second, they probably don’t even know the position exists, and they’ve certainly never heard of or from their PC. For example, in Pinal County, Arizona, in the 2008 election cycle, of the 506 PC slots available in the county Republican Party, only 111 were filled. Since then, after aggressive outreach (not by the Party, but by new conservative PCs from the “tea party” movement who then, in turn, recruited more tea partiers), that number has gone to about 220. So, despite all the tea parties and town hall meetings and collective angst over Opansy and the Debtocrats, the Party is still not even up to half strength.

    We conservatives have to stop focusing on DC and rediscover that our way out of the messes that have accrued over the years due to our collective apathy and inaction (I’m guilty as charged) will come only if each of us get involved in the political process — the REAL political process — that is played out at our local GOP committee meetings. Where one can learn what local elective offices need a conservative Republican candidate. Which candidates for the city council, county board and state legislature are fiscal conservatives. And which candidates for Party leadership positions are conservative (which, if one makes a small effort, one can vote for after becoming a “voting member” of the Party — a precinct committeeman).

    Thank you.
    ColdWarrior, PC
    Conservatives, UNITE! CHANGE the Republican Party and save your country by UNITING INSIDE the Party as precinct committeemen. NOW!

      You are so right. Now understand I am one of those people that watched the events in 1963 and believed there was nothing we couldn’t do as a nation. We could do BIG things.

      Problem is, there are plenty of things little things that were being handled locally that suddenly got swallowed up in the federal drive to be everything to everybody.

      IT DOESN”T WORK!

      There are plenty of things the Feds have to do, but beyond providing guidance on domestic issues, the REAL politics is in solving your own problems with your own resources and defending your fellow citizens from the greedy hands of the Washington Tax-O-Crat! Want lower Federal taxes, do more in state, city and local governments. Pay more locally (Where it is easier to watch) pay less federally where it gets stolen.

      Now, ColdWarrior is right. The way we take back the country from the political class is one voting district at a time. Then we scale up to take back the state and national governments and return power to it’s rightful place. (See Amendment 10, US Constitution.)
