So I had about 325 miles to drive home Friday night, plenty of time to do a little pondering. Here’s what I have come up with… we better get ready for the battle of our lives, for our country. Before you liberals get your panties all in a wad, follow along for a few minutes, and I’ll tell how I have come up with this.
With days to go before Obama got elected in 2008, he made one of the few honest public statements he has ever made when he said he was going to fundamentally change this country. The libs didn’t listen. He also said he wanted a civilian security force as well trained and funded as our military. Again the libs didn’t listen. He won the election and began his mission. He appointed a ton of czars and advisers, making the obvious effort to circumvent the balance of power by ruling through regulation instead of governing by legislation. The libs didn’t notice. Congress didn’t seem to notice either, even though the Executive Branch began gaining weight and tipping the scales.
He nationalized two of the three car companies, then focused on the banks. Then he forced Obamacare upon us, who really knows what’s buried in that bill. The stimulus was next, and continues since our government is still running without a budget. He captured control of the energy industry after an unintentional drilling disaster which he turned, somehow, into a criminal act.
He arbitrarily decided to take us to war in Libya without any approval from anyone (more on that later) in direct contradiction to the Constitution. Nobody called him on that effectively, he basically said “we went ’cause I said so…” He put troops on the ground in North Africa without approval, nobody noticed. His gun control mission started a long time ago, and again he doesn’t answer for Fast & Furious, executive privilege? He passes a message to Putin about how much more “flexibility” he will have after the election. Again he capitalizes on yet another tragedy to push his disarming of America agenda (the Brit’s tried this here too, a couple hundred years ago), he knows an unarmed America cannot resist tyranny.
I don’t need to dive into Obama’s history very far to understand that even if he was born in the USA (I have my doubts), he was not raised as an American, he has made that clear. Neither was his wife, or Jarrett for that matter. So obviously, they don’t put any credence into our traditions and principles. And I know I have left out a lot of “accomplishments” by Obama and company, I have been just hitting the highlights.
And the key to this puzzle might be in Benghazi. Not just the way it ended, with the deaths of four Americans, but with the entire mission there. And what did he threaten 30 survivor/witnesses, and their families and friends with, to assure their anonymity and silence. I can’t think of any other “secrets” so well protected (other than Obama’s ultimate plan). For example, the Bin Laden mission, details leaked from day one; the computer attack on Iran and many other things that would have been kept from the public eye. Yet the entire situation in Benghazi is still a mystery. There lies the keys I believe, and the only reason I can think of for such successful secrecy is the possibility that probable cause exists for arrest on the charge of treason, at the highest level and downward. Has the White House turned into a cover for a Continuing Criminal Enterprise?
I have not applied conjecture or opinion into this conclusion, just looking at facts, indisputable facts. At the facts indicate to me we have a government in place that is directly and intentionally taking us away from the principles our country was formed upon; I understand a little more about how our forefathers felt leading up to the revolution.
@SkippingDog:
I think you misunderstand what people fear. It is not that they want to “take up arms against our own government,” it is that the fear that our own government will take up arms against them. It is not like history is not replete with governments taking up arms against its own people. I suggest you research the Bonus Marchers who were American military veterans, fired on by their own government.
Anything can be considered a poltical act. That is the problem. The lines are being blurred. A man currently sits in jail, the excuse being he violated the terms of his probation, but we know it was for making a movie that the Obama administration tried to blame as the cause of the attack on the U.S. compond in Benghazi on. Any news on that man? Has he come to trial? Had a judge revoke his probation and sent him to jail for a defined length of time?
Think it hasn’t happened in the U.S. before? As the children of those detained in FDR’s “reeducation” camps who were of Japanese heritage. An American president deciding that Americans could not be trusted because of the color of their skin.
And I ask you; have you ever known so many people who are now fearful of our government? Can millions of Americans be so wrong in their aprehension? Did you ever think that the federal government would force you to buy a product you don’t want and if you don’t, can fine you and that that fine our of your checking account without due process?
Your freedom is being eroded and you want to play the part of the frog in the boiling water.
@Scott in Oklahoma:
Not at all, but the Executive Branch clearly has both the authority and obligation to address and oppose challenges to its legal authority and the place to do that is within our appellate courts. Were it otherwise, any federal District Court judge or magistrate would be able to set national policy. That’s both legally and practically unworkable and would empower Article 3 judges far beyond both Congress and the Executive.
Obama was looking forward to an imminent social revolution, literally a movement where the working classes would overthrow the ruling class and institute a kind of socialist Utopia in the United States.

@Tom: Confuse easily Tom? I don’t have a bunker, I even clearly stated so. I have criticized other presidents, including Bush, so that one ain’t holding water either. I’m glad you have faith in the president and his administration, believe all the lies and have an optimistic view. Really. Do you like Pelosi, Ried and the others too?
@SkippingDog: #27
The whole speech scares me more than the segment quoted. Are you OK with obama wanting to expand so many of these organizations when we are broke? How big do you want the government to get? Didn’t Hitler do things like this?
On the Mexican Pledge of Allegiance, why are they making the students say it instead of the normal things taught in Spanish class? It’s not just that, over the years there have been all kinds of stories of students being forced to say or do things they didn’t want to. I should have saved the stories. Like the one college professor who gave a writing assignment to write about someone the student admired, and if anyone wrote anything positive about George Bush, they would get an F. More stuff like this is happening all the time.
@retire05:
@retire05:
Here’s a nice account of the Bonus March to which you refer. You’ll find no veterans were killed. It’s also interesting that Republican icon Herbert Hoover gave the orders.
The “film producer” you refer to was placed into jail for violating his probation. While it is probably true that the consequences of his film are what brought his probation violation to the attention of his supervising court, the fact remains that it was his own criminal acts that led to the original probation sentence. If he had been required to actually serve his sentence instead of being granted the relief of court supervised probation, he would not have had the opportunity to engage in such acts.
Like most everyone who cares about civil rights, I’ve repeatedly read the Koramatsu case and am well acquainted with the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. That is clearly a dark period for our nation, just as the vilification of Muslims has been throughout the last decade.
Ask yourself what is to be gained by making people fear their government. Could it be political advantage? Might it in fact be a focused effort from outside our nation to divide us? Is it nothing more than a marketing ploy by media or those in the political business to sell their own ideas, books, or agenda?
@retire05:
Sorry I left the link off my last post: http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1513.html
@Smorgasbord:
The reason you have a clippings collection is because news is made up of unusual events. With nearly 325 million people in our nation, there are always going to be some unusual events happening. That doesn’t mean there’s a vast conspiracy to take away your rights or turn children into Mexican robots.
@Scott in Oklahoma:
Let’s back up, Scott. You – inaccurately – asked why no “liberal” had a response to the “facts” in your post. When it was pointed out to you that in fact your post includes a widely discredited (and frankly ridiculous) assertion that President Obama stated he wanted a “civilian security force as well trained and funded as our military” as a domestic police force, rather than address this specific criticism of your post, you changed the subject. If you can’t defend the specific arguments in your post, then you shouldn’t include them.
@Tom: He said it Tom, there is no disputing that. And his minions have gone on to make some pretty large (I would say excessive) ammo purchases and vehicle purchases that appear to back up his statement. Actions, as I said, speak louder than words. How is that changing the subject? And there is a lot more things that have me concerned, I just hit some (not even all) of the high points which have yet to be addressed.
@SkippingDog: You’ve proven nothing. You’ve only waved a hand and placed this text in the context that you wish to see it in.
The claims of some here are joining these statements in context with actions and events that have unfolded over the past few years. There is reason for concern, and reason to question.
Trying to dismiss that as ignorance is . . . well, quite ignorant.
@SkippingDog:
Excuse me? Where did I say that any veterans were killed? As to Hoover, he may have had an R behind his name, but he was just as much of a “progressive” as was FDR. As a matter of fact, although FDR ran claiming to be against the policies of Hoover, he actually inplemented Hoover policies Hoover had planned on when he won the election.
And how long ago has that been? Do you think that someone jailed for probation violations should sit in jail without having gone to court for this long? Why hasn’t he been brought before a judge who would enforce the original sentence by now? Simple; it’s all a ruse and I suspect you know that.
Remind me again what all 19 highjackers had in common. Remind me again what the guy who bombed the World Trade Center the first time had in common with the 19. Or Nidal Hassan, the Christmas Underwear Bomber, the guy who shot a soldier in Little Rock, Richard Reed or any other person who has tried to carry out an attack on American soil. Remind me again what their common bond was.
Yet, there have been no mosques burned, no Muslims taken out to the woods and hung, no Muslim businesses destroyed by angry vandals. I promise you, had Pearl Harbor not been in Hawaii, but in New York City, there would not be a Japanese safe from your grandfathers.
Obviously, you think it wrong to vilify those who are actually villains.
You need to ask that question of the Obama administration. It is them making Americans nervous. Nothing like releasing 2,000 criminals into the general public to make people feel secure.
Smorgasbord
yes the speech was a socialist speech if there was one for sure,
he want to have the contol to direct the people to do what he want,
HITLER STALINE LENIN YES VERY SCARY TO HAVE THAT SPEECH IN AMERICA,
THIS IS AN IMPOSITION ON THE MIND OF AMERICANS
We’re all just parsing words–some see Obama and his actions as competent and good, others do not. Further, some are just fine with the country changing on a fundamental level (which is, was, and is Obama’s entire platform–that’s a fact), and some want to keep those fundamentals intact.
The sum of Obama’s actions over time are cause for concern, and though all presidents go through this scrutiny, the concern now is that Obama isn’t meeting the resistance that Bush, Clinton, Daddy Bush, Reagan, and Carter did. He’s acting with relative impunity, and amassing power to himself that supersedes the office of the President.
For Bush, or even Clinton, Bengazi would be an on-going issue. That’s not “hoping” for something to pin on Obama, it’s just a fact. So many facts to support the idea that “something is rotten in Denmark.” We don’t know what it is, but people have a right to read the signs and interpret them. Hollywood choose to help the dems win the 2008 and 2012 election, and normal citizens are now preparing for a battle with the government, reading the signs as best they can.
What goes around, comes around, and Obama supporters need to stand back and see how an exploitation of pop-culture ignorance in pushing a no-name candidate, twice, is going have hell to pay in the long run. The Obama-defenders here are merely defending their voting choice and the cult of personality they’ve unwittingly subscribed to.
@Scott in Oklahoma:
The ammo purchases were discussed pretty extensively on this thread and similar conclusions to your own were quite forcefully debunked, and not by me – or a liberal – I might add. As for criticizing President Obama, go for it. I would never dream of criticizing you for voicing your opinion. It’s your fanciful claims regarding Obama’s alleged covert aims I find highly questionable. As I wrote above, we’ve been hearing this for years. You’re in law enforcement, yet you haven’t identified a motive or the means for this tyrannical take-over, just a bunch of random stuff you don’t like. Who are the people you believe in government, in the military, in the police force, who are going to go along with a power grab of the type you imagine to be imminent? I live in a pretty liberal state and I don’t know anyone who would go along with it. And what exactly is the motive for this tyranny? According to the Right, the press and academia already fawn over Obama as it is. He will make millions in the private sector when he leaves office, and remain influential and popular. So what exactly is he tearing down his legacy for, tearing the country apart for? Are there even more mysterious forces at work? You’ve assembled a pretty wild house of cards based upon a bunch of random things you don’t like about Obama. The connections are not as apparent as you seem to believe. Perhaps the answer as to why you need to believe these things, why you need to build a cartoon villain, isn’t out there, it’s in you.
@retire05:
Probation means you have already been convicted in court. It is a sentence in lieu of jail or prison, under which you are required to behave in a lawful manner, complete any court required activities, refrain from any unlawful acts and from acts that may be inconsistent with a probationary sentence, etc. It doesn’t mean you get a whole new trial on the events that brought you before the court in the first place.
As to the 9/11 hijackers being Muslim, I’m sure there were millions of people during WWII who justified the internment of Japanese civilians with the rationalization that the people who attacked Pearl Harbor were Japanese. Because someone share a common ethnic heritage or religion with attackers – Japanese, Muslim, or whatever – is certainly no justification for treating them with the same antagonism. Our fathers and grandfathers didn’t seem too worried about all of the Americans of German heritage, but they had the advantage of looking like everyone else in power at the time.
Finally, the release of people being held in custody for immigration violations – a Civil, not criminal violation of the US Code – hardly provides the kind of fear you seem to be experiencing.
@Nathan Blue:
When we consider how many items certain Presidential administrations are thought to “skate” on, the big one I’m always interested in is why was George W. Bush not held accountable for the largest terrorist attack to ever occur on the United States? He was the President and Commander in Chief on 9/11/01, but there never seems to have been any effort to place responsibility for that terrorist event in his lap like so many of you want to do with the attack of a small consulate building in a country engaged in civil war.
@Nathan Blue:
Sorry Nathan. “Normal citizens” do not prepare to battle their own government in America. That’s the activity of a terrorist, no matter how you try to polish it.
@Nathan Blue:
So rather than read the real statement, we need to perform some kind of magic incantation, read the goat entrails, consult our oracle and then see what the President “really meant” when he uttered those words during a campaign speech? That is exactly the kind of ridiculous nonsense that will always keep people like you seeking esoteric answers when the truth stands clearly before you.
@retire05:
Should I be surprised you consider that a real missed opportunity?
@SkippingDog: Apples and oranges, ace. Obama’s on the hook for information regarding what he knew, and continues to know, which is not public, not to mention gagging witnesses. No one is “blaming” him, we just want a little more detail in to what occurred due to the inconsistencies coming out of the administration. That’s fair, and you should want more answers too . . . even if you voted for the guy and like his fancy stickers.
We know Bush knew nothing of 9/11, for a fact. No cover up–nothing.
A fallacious comparison, at best.
@Nathan Blue:
What if what Obama knew or knows isn’t public information? It has already been discussed that Ambassador Stevens’ real mission was to purchase and secure as many of the man-portable anti-aircraft systems that had been stolen from Libyan arsenals as possible. That’s a national security matter inappropriate for public discussion – even in the Congress.
Did it ever occur to you that the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee might already have all of the answers you’d like to know, but that the information is properly classified and you’ll never have access to it? Don’t you think there would be a continuing effort by members of that committee to obtain such information if it had not been provided?
@SkippingDog: I’m trying to point out that you are as biased as those you are attack. You are “your own enemy.”
Esoteric? No, the statement was not as cut and dry as you are pretending it to be, for your own agenda.
Besides, this was made years ago and a lot had changed. The concern is what Obama’s real goals are. Clinton, Reagan, Bush . . .they all were guided by things that went beyond what they said. Obama’s no different. I remember the news agencies saturated us with the “why’s” of Bush and his motives. Fair to ask . . . unless is becomes a which hunt. Obama’s trespasses are worth the inquiry, and his statements rather obtuse on their own.
Goat entrails . . . how cute.
@SkippingDog: Nah, I disagree.
There are no “normal” citizens. Only free ones. The “normalizing” of political views by the left is what is concerning.
@SkippingDog: Understandable, but expect the populace to be miffed if they think–and no one is proving otherwise–that our soldiers and citizens operations were mishandled and some of them died.
Understandable.
Scott in Oklahoma
this is a mini version of what would happen,
you would have to fight the civilians who would
lay themselves down to cover their god,
there cannot be room for convincing them of their indoctrination, too much time has given them time to do the job
@Nathan Blue:
You would be incorrect in your assessment. I don’t trust the government any more than I’m supposed to, but I also know better than to infer sinister motives when there is no evidence they exist. Context is always important. Ignoring it leads you to unsupported and usually wrong conclusions about any event.
Read Obama’s remarks again. Watch and listen to the video again. There’s nothing there but a statement about the need to beef up our foreign service personnel because their efforts are an essential component of our national security. That’s something the Bush Administration had neglected, which is precisely why it was being addressed by candidate Obama in his speech.
@Nathan Blue:
Was this a misstatement you made earlier?
“…and normal citizens are now preparing for a battle with the government…,”
SkippingDog
Actually, you may be convicted of a crime and then given probation with conditions. If you violate that probation, you are then taken in front of a judge who gives you the original sentence you were probated on. It’s called adjucated probation. So next time you decide to talk down to someone, make sure it isn’t me, Bubba. Now, when did the film maker appear in court to have his probation revoked and what was his sentence? Ummm?
Actually, there is more to that than what you represent. Janet Napolitano has no authority, nor does anyone else in DHS, to release those who have been either charged with a crime, or are awaiting deportation due to a court order, without the consent of the U.S. Congress. Better be checking up on that whole separation of powers thing, Dog.
@SkippingDog: Nope. You took my use of “normal” and put it into a different context (starting to see your own logical fallacies, yet?”.
@SkippingDog:
If that is the case, then why hasn’t the Oversight Committee been given access to the 30 some odd survivors of the Benghazi attack? Why is the Oval Office keeping them under lock and key and not even releasing their names to those requesting them?
@SkippingDog: I have feeling your standards for Obama and standards for George Bush (or any Republican) differ immensely. Enough said.
I’m retiring for the evening. Troll-slaying is rewarding work, but it does put the mind to sleep . . . like reading a children’s book.
Later.
@retire05:
If you already know that, Punkin, why were you pretending the offender hadn’t been brought back before the court and was just being held incommunicado in some LA jail? Here’s a nice news link that might help you get a clue:
http://www.jta.org/news/article/2012/11/08/3111461/anti-muslim-filmmaker-sentenced-to-prison
With regard to the immigration release, I think you’ll find that the Secretary of DHS has wide ranging power to carry our the statutory duties of that office, which would include the dismissal of charges if that is appropriate. That would also be why the CFR applies to DHS operations, but Congress has no role to play in day-to-day operations of that or any Executive department. That’s what separation of powers means.
Hardly seems to be the secret you claim it is. Maybe you’re the one out of touch?
@retire05: How to you know they haven’t?
@Nathan Blue:
It was the same context in which you used it. Own it.
@Scott Malensek in Oklahoma; Excellent post, a catalog of the repeated failures of the Obama WH to date. If the Left and their adherents are still swallowing whole the convoluted narrative and manipulations Obama peddles they are well past reason.They have no no problem with a WH, whose actions betray those who serve at its pleasure.If that recurring tendency has not raised questions among them, then there is nothing about Obama that will.That ensures that eventually a future president will have to clean up what Obama is leaving trashed in his wake. A nation overburdened by failed and wasteful social welfare programs and a military weakened to the lowest level since 1916.
Nathan Blue
you mention CLINTON, GW BUSH AND GEORGE BUSH THEY WHERE ALL GUIDED BY THING BEYONG THEMSELVES YES BUT THEY DID KEPT THEIR HEAD ON THEIR SHOULDER,
BECAUSE THEY HAD THE ROOTS DEEP IN THE GROUND TO PREVENT THEM FROM THINKING THEY WHERE GOING TO CHANGE AMERICA FOREVER INTO A SUB SERVIANT SOCIETY WITH THE LEADER
OF SOCIALISTIC AMBITIONS TO KEEP THEM FOR GENERATIONS AS THEY ARE
DEPENDING ON HIS FAVORS AS THEY THINK NOW THAT THEIR MONEY COME FROM HIMSELF
AND HIS KINDNESS, HE HAS THEM EATING IN HIS HAND, AND THAT IS VERY WRONG,
IT COPY THE MUSLIM BELIEF, HE ALLOWED TO SPREAD IN AMERICA.
Nathan Blue
best to you
@SkippingDog:
Oh, but wait; didn’t Napolitano say that she was unaware of the releases and that they were done by “career” officers? Just like it was “career” officers that ordered the facilitation of Fast and Furious. So how do you account for the fact that Napolitano is now claiming no responsibility for the releases?
Pot, meet kettle.
But alas, I must join in Nathan Blue’s decision to retire. Dealing with a liberal troll (you) has the same effect as an Ambian.
@retire05:
There haven’t?!
Just a quick google search…..
Missouri mosque destroyed in second fire in a month
Man pleads guilty to mosque arson fire in Ohio
Two Charged with Hate Crime for Anti-Muslim Vandalism in Revere, Massachusetts
Muslim Storeowner Says He Was Victim Of Hate Crime
This is by no means a comprehensive listing:
I think it’s wrong to confuse who the actual villains were and are that attacked us on 9/11.
@retire05:
In what way were the internment camps “reeducation” camps? And was “color of their skin” the only reason for internment? All based on racism?
So I take it you will be one of the first to stand up and defend Muslims’ right to practice Islam in this country; and protest should our government decide to roundup Muslims for the purposes of “reeducation” camps?
Brian Winkler
nice to have you here .

@Al Reasin: #43
If he wants to sit in the pot with the other frogs, you can’t make him jump.
I honestly believe that the media, congress, and probably the white house have been infiltrated. I just realized the ones doing the infiltrating are probably getting on the most popular conservative blogs and trying to spread their agenda. This is how they work. How do we know which libs are just the misguided, and which ones are there for a purpose?
@SkippingDog: #58
Whenever I hear something new to me, I don’t automatically decide what I believe about it. Some things I have taken years to decide how I believe on it. The gay issue is one. I don’t belong to either party. It is hard to tell them apart any more. I want them all thrown out, and there won’t be any baby thrown out with the bath water.
I forget the name of the Spanish organization, but they are the ones who made it mandatory that Spanish speaking illegals be given an interpreter to translate what the teachers are saying into Spanish. One girl graduated from high school and can’t speak English. I would have liked the media to follow her and see how she does in her job hunting.
This organization wants to take back the part of America that we took from them. This is one reason they want illegals taught in Spanish.
Word #90 I’ve noticed, that like Aye, you never bring a knife to a gunfight. GOOD JOB
@SkippingDog: #67
You can thank Bill Clinton for the towers coming down. I don’t remember the exact events, or where or when they happened, but al-Qaeda blew up our military barracks, and over 100 soldiers died. Clinton did nothing. They tried to blow up the World Trade Center the first time. Clinton did nothing. They blew a hole in the Navy ship Cole. Clinton did nothing.
Clinton was offered Osama bin Laden three separate times by the government or governments who had him. Each time he said he couldn’t find a legal reason to keep him. Keep in mind that Osama was the #1 wanted terrorist we wanted. He was the ace of spades in the deck of cards for the terrorists we wanted. Bush would have taken him without any questions.
Each time Osama blew something up, and Clinton did nothing, Osama told his followers how the USA was afraid of him, and he gained more followers after each explosion. The propaganda media knows they couldn’t blame Bush without the conservative news media jumping all over them for not reporting how Clinton did nothing, so they left that story alone.
Since I am on the subject of Clinton, the way he had a balanced budget was he and his democratic congress reduced the military budget way down. At one point my son said he hadn’t had a pay raise for three years. I don’t know how long after that it was before he got one. Our Navy tanker fleet was reduced to 1/2.
Clinton and his congress also reduced the size of the intelligence gathering community. Agents had to be recalled from around the world. We had two agents in Iraq at the time, and they were called back. It wasn’t too long after that that the towers came down, because we had to rely on information from other countries.
Why didn’t the propaganda media report any of this?
@Smorgasbord:
The Beirut barracks bombing you refer to was in 1983, when Ronald Reagan was president. Bill Clinton was the Governor of Arkansas at the time, so there really wasn’t much he could have done.
The USS Cole was attacked in 2000, just prior to the election. There was widespread coverage at the time, just as there was for the 1998 attacks on our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Clinton ordered attacks on targets in both Afghanistan and Sudan in response, and was widely criticised at the time by Republicans who claimed his military retaliation was just to divert attention from the Lewinsky matter.
GWB knew about bin Laden’s planned attacks as early as June of 2001, but did nothing to preempt them whatsoever. You can read about it here: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/09/bush-knew-more-about-bin-laden-plans-than-we-realized/56716/
There are several reasons our tanker fleet was reduced. One was that most of our ships by then ran on nuclear power, so there were fewer fleet oilers needed. The second was the transfer of fleet oilers from the USN to the USNS, which changes the registration of the vessel from a USN ship to a maritime merchant vessel.
You Clinton haters usually only give him credit for balancing the budget because he had both the “peace dividend” from the end of the Cold War and because he had a Republican House beginning in 1994. If you look at the military pay tables from the period of the Clinton presidency, (http://www.military.com/benefits/military-pay/charts/historical-military-pay-rates.html) you’ll find that military pay went up approximately 16% during his 8 years in office. That’s not great, but it is a rate of 2% per year, which kept up with the CPI for the time. The BAH for military personnel was also increased during that period.
As John Adams noted long ago, “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
SkippingDog FYI Late night Smorg always claims his equal distain for both parties but his comments consistently show him carrying water for Repubs, as he bashes all things Dem.
Thanks for keepin em all honest on this thread.
@Tom:
There’s an excellent book that describes the motives behind the actions we’ve seen: “The Paranoid Style in American Politics” by Richard Hofstadter. Even though it was written in 1964, it is as accurate and relevant today as it was then.
Your local library will undoubtedly have a copy available, or will be able to easily obtain one for you to read.
@Richard Wheeler:
Thanks for the heads-up.
