The American Soft Tyranny-Bye, Bye USA

 
The left will use their typical Alinskyite tactics and others to pass even more liberalized voting laws—an open invitation to even more fraud that is more creative, easier to hide, and less challengeable in court.

 

  • The Obama “thugocracy” will use the Justice Department to stifle dissent. Anybody who complains about vote fraud will be charged with “vote suppression.”

  • Anybody who complains about DoJ’s actions will be charged with interfering with an investigation.
     
  • Anybody who denies having interfered will be charged with perjury.

     
  • Anybody who peacefully protests abortion clinics or the use of state-sponsored racial quotas will be charged with a civil rights violation.

  • Even before imposing the Fairness Doctrine, they’ll use the Federal Communications Commission in other ways to put a muffler on their opponents.

     
  • And, always, a few carefully calibrated street demonstrations, splashed with just the right headlines across the East Coast newspapers and captured by just the right camera angle on CBS News, will be used any time, on any issue, to make the point that civil unrest would be the price of resistance to the benevolent desires of the Obama regime. And the accused won’t be able to look to the Supreme Court for help: Anthony Kennedy’s “evolving standards” of justice will evolve to match the new “spirit of the time,” providing a 5-4 majority for the administration. Meanwhile, of course, Obama’s other appointments will be filling up the rest of the U.S. district judiciary at a rapid clip, with nobody able to stop them. And, of course, the cheerleading media wil enthusiacticall back all of these lefty maneuvers. It’s all in the name of one-man/one-vote democracy, dontcha know?

    Soft tyranny is an idea first coined by Alexis de Tocqueville in his 1835 work entitled Democracy in America. In effect, soft tyranny occurs whenever the social conditions of a people hinder any prospect of hope among its members, with soft tyranny comes hope lost and freedom lost for the individual and a movement for the good of the collective. C.S. Lewis in his work “The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment” expresses that this soft tyranny is the most oppressive because we as a people are tormented day and night for our own good. “Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -C.S. Lewis from “The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment.” I believe President Obama on January 20, 2009 with the power of his pen will increase the power of the State over the individual implementing a soft tyranny. Out of this tyranny is a government that believes that it must decide what’s in the best interest of their citizens, as opposed to the people themselves. -LEX REX
