“During Pres. Obama’s third term…”

I have sometimes made a passing comment about what was going to happen to us during the third term of Pres. Obama.
The usual sort of person pooh-poohed that. ”But Father! But Father!”, they chortled, “You can’t be serious! That’s against the the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution and… and… he’s … like, you know… a constitutional scholar! Besides, how bad would that be?”
Pretty bad.
And truth is stranger than fiction, friends.
On gov.track you will find catholic Rep. Jose Serrano’s (D-NY 15) H.J.Res. 15: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.
Aside from the fact that resolution is abysmally stupid, it is also abysmally evil.
Liberals attain their goals through creeping incrementalism.
They introduce something. It’s gets shouted down. But they have bumped the needle a half point in their direction. They introduce it again. It’s gets shouted down again. But they have again bumped the needle a half point in their direction. They introduce it again. It’s gets shouted down again. But they have again bumped the needle a half point in their direction. They introduce it again. It’s gets shouted down again. But they have again bumped the needle a half point in their direction…. until… one day it passes.
This is what they have done on a range of issues which you can name all by yourselves.
And catholic quislings collaborate.
