By now, the shock of the Obama “victory” has worn off to some degree, though that shock, to me, has been equalled only by the September 11 attacks in my lifetime. We who love liberty and independence must prepare ourselves for the assaults to come. Our rights to free speech, association and religion, to private property and to bear arms are all under attack. The idea put about in the media, even in such organs of the “right” as the Wall Street Journal, that Obama will govern from the center,” is preposterous. You will wait as long for that to occur as we have been waiting for the fabled “Iranian moderates” to assert themselves. If we entertain such delusions, we will be steamrolled.
What can we do to slow down this leftist charlatan and his adoring hordes? We must assert ourselves with principled arguments at every point where the Obama agenda is pressed. We must do this with our friends, family and acquaintances. We must write letters to the editor, in order to keep newspapers and other letter writers honest. We must e-mail columnists who now freely list their e-mail addresses. You’d be surprised at how many will respond. We must continue to write or call our elected representatives to make our feelings known. That’s how we stopped the phony immigration “reform” pushed by George W. Bush and John McCain and forestalled the abominable, failed federal bailout. Fifty-six million Americans voted against the Great Agent of Change, and we must mobilize for the battles to come, hoping to take advantage, in the 2010 election, of Obama’s inevitable policy disasters. We must also show our complete opposition to the RINO, so that this contemptible creature will become an endangered species, if not altogether extinct. We must continue to sound the alarm on this and other blogs, and to invite our friends and acquaintances to do the same. We must encourage candidates, like Sarah Palin, who champion our principles, and explore other political parties who might do the same.
The alternative, in the words of the great Ronald Reagan, to be realized sooner or later, is “the soup kitchen of the welfare state.”

I appreciate the points here, Brian. but what I'm reading is that Obama intends to largely ignore the nuisance of dealing with Congress at all. He intends to begin to implement his vision immediately in the form of executive orders. In other words, he plans to rule by fiat and a compliant Congress will do nothing to stop him.
As his excuse for gathering so much power to himself, he intends to point to the financial crisis, a crisis I am beginning to think (okay, this is paranoid, but the timing is uncanny) may have been engineered to happen just when it did. Like the Reichstag fire.
And now there is a serious movement afoot - already! - to establish a national holiday to honor the historic election of Obama.
This entire scenario is beginning to play out like 1933 Nazi Germany.
And as for the fantasy that was seized upon by some of the Obama-cons - i.e, that he will seek bipartisan solutions to the nation's problems - Obama's selection of two Clinton era arm breakers ought to put paid to any idea that this is a man who intends to govern from the center.
Bill, it's all very ominous and disturbing. Oddly, Bush himself, without his bailouts and takeovers, has set the table for this sort of thing. Obama could end up making FDR look like a laissez-faire capitalist.
