'A victory for all Americans'

That's what Barack Obama called it.

"A victory for all Americans."

A small town in Pennsylvania votes overwhelmingly to elect a mayor on a platform of cracking down on the damage illegal aliens are inflicting on the community.

The heroic mayor, Louis J. Barletta, fulfills his promise to his constituents by enacting an ordinance last summer prohibiting renting to those in the U.S. illegally.

A group of "activists" challenge the law in court.

And U.S. District Judge James Munley, an appointee of Bill Clinton, overturns the popular measure with a stroke of the pen.

That is what Barack Obama characterizes as "a victory of all Americans."

A victory for those who no longer believe in the rule of law, perhaps.

A victory for those who no longer believe in the will of the people, perhaps.

A victory for illegal aliens, perhaps.

A victory for Americans who don't mind being ruled by oligarchs and unaccountable judges, perhaps.

But "a victory for all Americans"?

How does he figure?

"The anti-immigrant law passed by Mayor Barletta was unconstitutional and unworkable – and it underscores the need for comprehensive immigration reform so local communities do not continue to take matters into their own hands," explains Obama.

Oh, I see his point.

How dare local officials pass local laws?

How dare local officials defy the elite view?

In fact, why bother to have local elections at all?

Let's just let the courts and the federal government rule over one and all.

Obama's solution is simple. Just ram that amnesty plan down the throats of all Americans whether they like it or not.

"Recently, the U.S. Senate failed the American people by blocking progress on immigration reform for the second time in two years," he said. "We cannot put this off any longer. The ongoing problems with our immigration system are dividing our country, and distracting us from the work we need to do in other important areas such as health care, education and jobs.

This man is a demagogue – as skilled and scary as his top opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

What's even more bizarre is that statements of this kind don't seem to raise much attention. They don't seem to get the analysis they deserve. They don't seem to get the scrutiny they warrant.

Does anyone else realize what he's saying?

People can vote, as long as they vote "correctly."

Local governments can govern, as long as they govern "correctly."

Legislator can legislate, as long as they legislate "correctly."

The biggest victories for the people come when judges overrule the will of the people.

The biggest victories for the people come when the state imposes its will on the people.

The biggest victories for the people come when Barack Obama's political agenda wins at any cost.

I'm old enough to remember this kind of euphemistic "victory for the people." It was a common occurrence – in the days of the old Soviet Union.
