Legitimizing Mob Rule
On Wednesday, April 1, Michael Moore - that darling of the far left - had this to say in his blog about the firing of the head of General Motors (emphasis mine):
Nothing like it has ever happened. The President of the United States, the elected representative of the people, has just told the head of General Motors — a company that’s spent more years at #1 on the Fortune 500 list than anyone else — “You’re fired!”
I simply can’t believe it. This stunning, unprecedented action has left me speechless for the past two days. I keep saying, “Did Obama really fire the chairman of General Motors? The wealthiest and most powerful corporation of the 20th century? Can he do that? Really? Well, [deleted by me]! What else can he do?!”
This bold move has sent the heads of corporate America spinning and spewing pea soup. Obama has issued this edict: The government of, by, and for the people is in charge here, not big business. John McCain got it. On the floor of the Senate he asked, “What does this signal send to other corporations and financial institutions about whether the federal government will fire them as well?” Senator Bob Corker said it “should send a chill through all Americans who believe in free enterprise.” The stock market plunged as the masters of the universe asked themselves, “Am I next?” And they whispered to each other, “What are we going to do about this Obama?”
Not much, fellows. He has the massive will of the American people behind him — and he has been granted permission by us to do what he sees fit. If you liked this week’s all-net 3-pointer, stay tuned.
It has often been noted that democracy is just a nice word for mob rule. This incident just proves that to be fact. Let’s look at a few of Mr. Moore’s statements:
“Nothing like it has ever happened.”
The reason that “nothing like it has ever happened” is that up until now, politicians used to at least pretend that this was a nation of law and not of tyranny. They pretended that The Constitution truly was the supreme law of the land and they were seldom bold enough to openly defy it.
“What else can he do?”
As long as those who worship Hussein Obama as some sort of Christ figure maintain a political majority, I suppose he can pretty much do anything he wants to do. Hitler was able to keep a lid on his opposition in his own country. Obama has managed to completely stonewall all investigations and lawsuits aimed at simply determining if he meets the Constitutional requirements for president. I see very little in the way for him to assume complete dictatorial power.
“He has the massive will of the American people behind him — and he has been granted permission by us to do what he sees fit.”
This pretty well sums it up. This is the working definition of mob rule.
Goodbye America. The destruction of this nation began in earnest in 1865, and we are now seeing its culmination. Where it goes from here is anyone’s guess. While I do not support the Southern Nationalism movement (for various reasons), the number of good alternatives continues to shrink.

Really good points, Colonel. This was a very well written web log.
