Just how far ahead do these illegitmates plan???

[lapauvre]

I have a sense of wonder most of the time. And I wonder now?

Quite some time before the great Austrian became governor or the state of California (and don't make too much fun of the pronunciation, it is probably more accurate than that we are accostumed to hearing: i.e. it ain't ca-la-for-ni-a) the illustrious hypocrit of Utah, Orrin Hatch, as xenophobic human as one can find outside of Bin Laden, was pushing for a change to the Constitution which would permit non-American born citizens to become President of the United States?

Just how secure are these people with all the money, AND who are willing to spend a whole big bunch of it to buy America, that they can plan this far ahead?

It is amazing to me. That is just one of my wonderments.

I have many more.

1. I think so......

I think a lot of what has been happening since Bush got in office was in the planning stages for a long time.

2. They started in the 80's..

media control...
think tank organization (non profits, all....hah!)
demonization of their adversaries
former legislators flaunting the "wait 5 yr rule" that used to be in effect before becoming lobbyists and then re-entering office..
elimination of the fairness doctrine..

These things did not "just happen"..

The dems/liberals were caught napping, and we are paying dearly now..:(

6. Welcome to DU, laupauvre! And your wonderments!

:hi:

You do pose an interesting question. When I think about how far they think ahead, I know that the current crop of Reptilicans and their imperial ambitions have been in and out of the woodwork since the 1970s, planning and plotting and biding their time.

7. I was one of them in the sixties

I am now 68 years old and was a dedicated Republican from 1956 until 1983. And I think this has been in the works at least since the sixties, more likely since McCarthy in the fifties. I took part in the studies, read the plans, and voted the party line for a long time. But I had reservations. After my studies with the John Birch Society in the sixties, and the attitude of my political "brethren" when Kennedy was killed, it still took me twenty years to truly believe that such fringe thinking could come to manipulate, direct, control and destroy what was my party. I didn't think they could do it. But they did, they have and they are.

In 1983 I felt it would destroy my country. It is doing so. If we, the only viable opposition do not become sufficiently activist in getting out the vote, they will be unstoppable--if it isn't already too late, with Ashcroft and his "patriot act."

Keep up the good fight.
