So let's see some predictions of what happens (and why) when Obama becomes president...

How long will it take the lunatic fringe of the Left, the moveon.org crowd, the Soros brigades , the gay marriage activists, etc., to all make a beeline to the Oval Office demanding their pound of flesh for their support and money... how long before they demand a constitutional convention be called to re-write our ( as Sanford Levinson puts it) undemocratic constitution?

Will America be turned into a parliamentary mobocracy, can we say goodbye to the 2nd Amendment, will we get Progressive, social activist judges appointed to the Supreme Court, can we expect the imposition of crushing energy taxes?

One thing I've always wondered about Obama... how can someone hoping to lead a party that's spent the last 50 years using identity politics to divide America into competing racial, sexual, ethnic and economic groups suddenly going to unite the country... are the Democrats going to stop playing the race card at every opportunity, stop affirmative action, stop the class warfare that's been a staple of their politics?

What I can see coming with Obama, or Hillary or McCain is that the environmental activist, the Pro-UN crowd, the socialists, the university elites, the Hollywood Left and our entirely Pro Democrat MSM won't be able to restrain themselves, this is what they've been working toward for the past 80 years... getting their hands on the levers of ultimate power to cure what they see as the social injustice of Capitalism... just wait until the public sees all the taxes on American industry and energy imposed upon them and then watch as the wealth of America is redistributed to the rest of the world... the Global Poverty Act waiting in the wings will only be the start.. soon the Third World will be demanding money to solve their environmental and energy problems... guess who'll get to pay for that too?

After getting enmeshed by UN treaties subjugating our constitution to the World Court, environmental treaties etc., will the American Military become the enforcement arm for the UN... what other organization has the world-wide reach and power?

Will electing Obama result in the destruction of the Democrat party and the demise of Progressivism, will it lay the groundwork for the rise of a some glib right wing demagogue eager to play to the fears of a public watching society devolve into hedonism, debauchery, self indulgence and a complete absence of moral judgment?

All fun things to think about, but none of it will ever be debated by the candidates or brought up by the MSM since the only candidates running are all democrats of varying degree, McCain s doesn't even qualify a s a RINO anymore since his idiotic, pandering comments on global warming.
