It is not a side-effect. The chaos in our federal government is a deliberate result of the Dems Alinskyite tactics. The chaos is primary, deliberately contrived, and created where it doesn't already exist. But when you create chaos you have to be able to manage in the chaos, you have to keep the chaos from running out of your control. Otherwise you become the victim of your own chaos. I don't see signs that Obama is managing the chaos. He seems a weak leader to me, with elements of his administration running around confused and semi-independent. The Federal government has a great inertia, and it's not used to being run like this. Arafat used to manage in this chaotic style, for similar reasons. He was a revolutionary who never made the transition to statesman. He also had a similar passive-aggressive management style. But he kept control of things by having many overlapping agencies (which hindered independent concentrations of power) and by keeping his personal hand on the purse strings, so everybody depended on him for money. But a President can't imitate Arafat's style because the Federal government has a budget, so Federal Departments are not dependent on the personal good will of the President for their revenues.

We have formidable foe. It is our own government run wild. The destruction of a democracy requires six steps. First, the political structure must be significantly changed. Obama and his congress are showing us what a socialist environment can look like. Second, the economic base of the middle class must be destroyed. Obama and his congress are showing the middle class what will happen to the value of their dollar and their investments. Third, the social structure must be changed. Obama and his congress are showing us what the DOJ, the courts and the military can do with a perceived need "for diversity" in the military and the necessity for criminal trials of terrorists. Fourth, the psychology of the middle class must be changed to accept wealth distribution and to eagerly participate in a federal welfare, medical and other social programs. Fifth, the military must be changed. Obama and his plan for a nation-wide red shirt army will justify the shrinkage of our military along with elimination of required weaponry to fight and win a war. Sixth, the media must be changed by enveloping it into a Pravda communication tool. At this juncture, only one cable news outlet and the conservative talk shows are not being controlled by the WH. IMO, this can be stopped cold if the 2010 elections result in a complete turnover from the democrats to the republicans in the House and the Senate. It will not be close to easy since Obama and his congress are well aware of what happened in 1994 and they have ACORN, the SEIU etc. and the Black Panthers, and plenty of Hollywood and Soros money.

So, will the control boil down to this, as noted in today's headlines...? Will the Americans allow this? If we do, will this mean the ultimate doom of America....we have 300 million and population declining (before we add everyone that is coming here ILLEGALLY), and Europe's populations are declining. The Eastern and Middle Eastern populations are increasing and in fact, number in the billions. CHINA: Population control called key to Global Warming deal...
