No Coup Needed

Trey Smith

The real issues can nowhere be found in the campaigns or in the media. There is no mention of the Bush/Obama destruction of the US Constitution and its legal protections of citizens from arbitrary government power. Due process no longer exists for anyone who the executive branch suspects of being connected in any way to Washington’s chosen enemies. US citizens can be thrown into dungeons for life on suspicion alone without any evidence ever being presented to a court, and they can be executed any place on earth, along with whoever happens to be with them at the time, on suspicion alone.

Last May federal district court judge Katherine Forrest ruled that indefinite detention of US citizens is unconstitutional and issued an injunction against the Obama regime using this police state measure in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The Obama regime gave the federal judge the finger. During the week of August 6-10 the Justice (sic) Department’s Brownshirt lawyers refused to tell Judge Forrest if the Obama regime is complying with the injunction. The position of the Obama regime is: “we are above the law and do not answer to federal courts.” One would think that Romney would be all over this, but he isn’t because he wants the power himself.

The Obama police state will shop around and find a federal appeals court dominated by Republican Brownshirt judges and get Judge Forrest’s ruling overturned. All those Republican federal judges we had to have to save us from liberal Democrats will now complete our deliverance to a total police state where all power rests in an unaccountable executive branch. This is what the Republican Federalist Society has wanted for years, and they are on the verge of obtaining it.

It just blows my mind that most people can't see or they don't understand what is going on in this country. The purported political adversaries -- the Democrats and Republicans -- are working hand-in-hand to demolish the ideals of this national experiment in democracy!

I'm not naive. I didn't just fall off of a turnip truck. I'm painfully aware that the rhetoric surrounding American democracy always has far outstripped it's actual implementation, but what we have now is an almost complete coup d'état right under our noses and yet hardly anyone has noticed.

And so, we will lumber through the next two months listening to Democrats and Republicans each emotionally declaring that the other side is monstrous and that only THEIR side can save the American Dream. After the drama has ended and one side or the other claims victory, both teams will head back to Washington to put the finishing touches on their bipartisan takeover.

The sad part is that most Americans won't notice it until it is far, far too late.
