Could Our Politics Get More Sullan?

By the time you finish this commentary, I expect you'll understand the pun in the title.

Redbaiter published another story about Obama's ineligibility to be president today. Democrat Researcher/ Professor Proclaims “Obama Probably Not US Citizen.”

I am still in the camp that sees nothing to gain from the BC issue. I look at it in much the same way there was nothing useful that came from impeaching Bill Clinton for his coverup of his affair with an intern. I do not recall any justice arising from the Whitewater scandal except maybe Jim McDougal's death in prison due his being "accidentally" denied his heart medication -- and he always had the appearance of a scapegoat.  Still worse, how many remember Monica Lewinsky but don't remember

• That China got the neutron bomb out from under Clinton's nose. 
• Or that China got missile guidance technology with Clinton's blessing. 
• Or that nobody ever was prosecuted for the WH's illegal possession of raw FBI files. 
• Or that nobody in Obama's campaign felt any legal threat from accepting foreign campaign funds (maybe even from Wahhabist influences) because nobody in the Clinton camp was ever prosecuted for accepting money from the Chinese military.

I could go on, but you ought to get my drift here. There are so many members of the GOP who've gone along with charades of the past, how could they not be openly playing along with this one too? What is so surprising about the Obama hiding all his history and yet the media and the GOP along with all but a few Democrats (like this Notre Prof.) keep pointing to the COLB as if that answers EVERY QUESTION about the fraud in the WH?

They pee on our backs and tell us it's only rain, and we're supposed to accept that?

I am continually amazed that so many people, such as RB, seem never to have heard the phrase "red herring." There is something amiss when otherwise smart people seem unable to admit that politicians staged fights so that they can pull off many things worse while everybody is distracted.

Anyway, back to the story RB posted this morning. The excerpt he highlighted

I will give you the unpleasant punch line upfront: There is sufficient evidence to reasonably conclude that Barack Obama is probably not a U.S. citizen, therefore constitutionally ineligible to be president of the United States.

The fact that he has been serving in that office would then be not only the most audacious hoax in world history — at least since the Trojan Horse. It also creates a constitutional crisis of the first magnitude that will take decades to straighten out.

Well, it might not take decades to decide if circumstances are made to appear dire enough. Power seekers might stage protests featuring this cry — “decades to straighten things are too long to wait” — and thereby lay the groundwork for the elevation of a “temporary” American dictator.

He might come to power in the manner of Lucius Cornelius Sulla who warred against Marius (the Roman proto-Marxist) and then outlawed (forced into exile) all Marius’ known surviving acolytes.” (Julius Caesar was one of those exiles.) But it would set in motion the final end of the American republic just as the rise of Sulla had done to Rome; that was despite Sulla seeming to have intended exactly the opposite result.

I warned against something arising like this a few years ago when I had no idea what might be the specific cause.
One Thing Will Save Our Republic. and it is not our own Sulla. Of course, in order to make that case I had to discuss the history of his rise.

I would think that all who would save the American republic need to be aware of that history. No?

That was the end of my commentary this morning. However, in retrospect, I still do not believe we have it in us to elevate a dictator or tolerate one who tries to seize such power. Part of the checks and balances that our founders put into our government was that our political leaders -- unlike ancient Rome -- could not simultaneously be military leaders.

That being said, that lack of us enduring a Sullan future does not forestall what appears to be sullen one heading our way. But it not that bleak either. It's a challenge facing you youngsters like none America has had to face up to before.

As I said in my earlier commentary on the subject, the one thing that will save our republic from the growing tyranny. It is a major restoration of our great cultural heritage by majority agreement, and one that is centered on the concept of God towering above all men. Nothing else has a real chance at defeating all the old hatreds that the agents of our out of control government has been rebuilding to divide us in order to enslave us all.
