One would think that every citizen should have their own personal checklist, or "lines in the sand," beyond which a candidate can not go and still expect to receive one's vote. But beyond these requirements, I believe it is necessary (until some point in the distant future) for state and local governments to step in and "clean house."

::::::::

  1. Conviction of a capital crime
  2. Conviction of a felony
  3. Conviction of a misdemeanor involving physical assault
  4. Acceptance of bribes or kickbacks of either a financial or political nature, to include stock tips
  5. Public enmity towards an identifiable group of human beings because of their race, ethnicity, religion, socio-political beliefs, sexual preference, gender or lower socio-economic status
  6. Unethical or abusive treatment of another human being, or an identifiable group of human beings
  7. Manipulation of public opinion through unethical, abusive or illegal means
  8. Solicitation to participate in any of the above
 

Based on items 4 – 7, Hillary Clinton’s behavior since she became a public servant disqualifies her not only from the present political primary, it also disqualifies her both now and in the future from holding or campaigning for any elected office, to include dogcatcher.

 

While I appreciate her thoughtful efforts in preparing the public mind for an Obama assassination, the same efforts were used by local television news reporters in Dallas on the day of JFK’s assassination.

 

Should a serious attempt be made on Obama’s life, I’d like to suggest, in advance, that we target all local official and unofficial paramilitary operations for protests of all sorts (SWAT, ATF, ICE, DHS, Blackwater), the mass disruption of motor vehicle traffic in economically sensitive areas and the taking back of the public airwaves from commercial interests.

 

If the French people can make their government afraid of them, the American people can more than put our government on notice for a serious redress of grievances.

 

If you believe I am alone in my thinking, you are wrong.  Observe the following from Mark Crispin Miller, a professor observing the US slide into fascism since at least the mid-1990’s.  Part 1.  Part 2.

 I think that once you have processed the staggering emotional content of Professor Miller’s two videos, you will need to prepare yourselves – mentally, emotionally and physically – for massive protests in the United States of America.  This is not a drill, this is not whiny liberal bullshit, this is about fighting for the right of your children and grandchildren to live in a free and open society.  Our rights as citizens, as Professor Miller makes plain, are already a foregone conclusion.
