Republicans have slowly come to grips with the fact that there is an out-of-control socialist in the White House. But they are still two steps behind Obama and his radical cohorts. Unless they catch up very fast, the United States will be in grave danger.
The first step toward catching up with Obama is to realize that this man deliberately wants to run the federal government into the financial grounds. The model for doing this is Latin America. Countries like Argentina and Brazil created welfare states that were funded by the monetary printing presses and foreign borrowing. Eventually the situation became untenable as inflation rose to double digits and the currency took a nose dive.
At that point the country came to a point of social unrest, and since the cause was monetary it was easy for the governments to blame "capitalism". That made it easier to motivate authoritarian takeovers and infringements on individual freedom.
The GOP must not forget that Obama has said that he wants to build a civil security corps, as strong and well funded as the military. It is not far-fetched to assume that he wants that civil security corps to be ready by the time the American economy has been reduced to Brazilian or Argentinian rubble. At that time he can suspend the Constitution with the help of his civil security corps (which effectively will be his own party militia).
The best comparison to Obama's security force is Hitler's SS or the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
If the GOP is willing to see that this is a deliberate long-term goal of Obama's, then they can also realize to the fullest extent what is at stake:
The United States of America.
But this is not enough. The GOP must also realize that it is perfectly OK to criticize and even make fun of Obama, even though he is black. It is the likes of John McCain that will do this country in. That is ironic, given how much he sacrificed in defense of our values. But McCain is a perfect example of a Republican who thinks that black people are inferior to white people because they cannot endure criticism. He also thinks that the vast majority of white Americans are just as miserably racist as he is. But in reality the vast majority of Americans know that the color of your skin does not matter one iota. They have black, white, Hispanic and Asian colleagues and they only care about a man's or a woman's character. They know that if you criticize a black man's political views, you do not derogate him for his race.
Unless McCain and others like him take a big, fat step to the side, Obama will be shielded from valid political criticism in next year's election cycle - and his Acorn-sponsored radical buddies will be able to solidify their hold on power, nationally as well as at the state level. As they do, they will introduce more and more fraud in the election system to keep Republicans out.
If on the other hand the GOP wakes up and makes itself immune to the "racist" attacks from the left, they have a really good chance to re-take at least the House in 2010. That would significantly slow down Obama's power grab and put GOP in a good position to oust Obama in 2012.
