The “most dangerous” period of U.S. history since the Civil War begins tomorrow

...I believe the Republicans are going to win tomorrow. The Republicans are going to win control of the Senate and the House. And before people who might be in this audience start to cheer, let me explain why that isn’t necessarily a good thing, even for the Republicans.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing for the Republic, because I don’t believe the Republicans represent the Republic anymore. They are progressive and they will do exactly what they want. In fact, if Mitt Romney has his way, what they’re going to do is immediately forward comprehensive immigration reform. And this will just be a watered-down version of what the Democrats will want to do. And you’ll get all of the credit for that. Let me just talk politics here for a second. Republicans, you’re going to get all the same kind of credit that you got for the Civil Rights Act. And congratulations on that, because that was yours. And you’re seeing how well that’s working out for you now, don’t you?

So what’s going to happen? The Republicans think that they’re going to continue to play the same game that has always been played in America. And they think that they’re going to be able to come in and actually turn the tide here. They think that they’re actually going to make a difference, because they’re going to come in with their reform bill and they’re going to come in and they’re going to start holding people responsible. But they’re going to be moderate, too, you know. They’re not going to be too crazy. They’re not going to be like those Tea Party people.

Meanwhile, the president is standing alone. Have you noticed that? The president — there’s nobody asking the president, hey, could we get the president to speak? Nobody is showing up for the president. The Democrats don’t want to see the president. So what happens?

Try this out for size: Tomorrow the Republicans win. They win control of House and Senate. The [Democrats] are out. The Democrats begin to blame the president and his policies. Whether they do so outwardly or not, I’m not so sure. I think that they just continue down this road, this path, where they say, the president, it doesn’t matter. The president is irrelevant at this point. The president is a lame duck. He’s a lame duck president.

No, he’s anything but a lame duck. Because the Democrats are going to pull away from this president, the president is going to see an open highway. The president believes the things that he says. The president believes that comprehensive immigration reform doesn’t go far enough. The president believes that we shouldn’t be asking people for a green card. There are no borders here. You come in. You have a right to work here. I think Rand Paul believes that. It’s not so radical to some people. So he believes in this open border. He has a phone and a pen and he’s going to use it...

No, nobody loves it.  Unfortunately, most of his tales of woe have been proven to be true.

Apparently, Beck isn't the only one to see dangerous tidings of the post-midterm calculus:

Quote

...In fact, while Obama has surely been feeling some sting from the polls, he scarcely cares about what happens on Tuesday and might even be wishing for a GOP victory. There are several reasons, but it largely goes back to the basic point that the President’s leftist ideology and relentless pursuit of his brand of “change” trumps his strict allegiance to Democratic politics. Remember, he sacrificed control of the House for the sake of Obamacare.

Obama’s vision is longer-term and it should temper the cheers from the GOP more than a little.

Obama doesn’t need Congress. Though few might talk about it, we have a Constitutional crisis in America because this President has masterfully utilized and expanded the power of the Executive Branch to the point where he no longer needs a legislative agenda to advance his ideology. Obama has viewed Congress, even with the Senate under Democrat control, as an annoyance. What we have been seeing since the passage of Obamacare is the “pen and phone” approach for that very reason.

A Congress entirely controlled by Republicans will be able to do little to pare back Obamacare, for instance. There will be a lot of talk about defunding, a partial repeal, and maybe some plans for replacement but much of the construct will remain in place. The Republican Senate will be able to do little to stem the tide of doctors opting out of Obamacare or retiring due to slashed reimbursements. They will be able to do little to encourage people to sign up or reduce the significant health care cost increases being felt by millions as a result of the law.

Looks to me like Dear Leader might seriously be planning to grant the DUmbshits their wet dream, by assuming dictatorial authority over a whole slew of things most people would really rather he not.

I've said before that this election won't change things too much.  If the Dems hold the senate, Obama will think he has a mandate, (not with Reggie Love this time), and do whatever he wants by fiat.

If the gop takes the senate, then Obama will throw a hissy fit and and do whatever he wants by fiat.  Obama is full of his own self importance and his desire to bring the US to it's knees.

If anyone watched Megan Kelly tonight, we are in for it.

Apparently, according to an article by Politico, Obama is "fed up".  He's not happy, hates his job, hates Washington, hates the time he spends on national security and plans on taking it to the Republicans if they win the Senate.  He won't be co-operating or working across the isle.

The Republican ruling class (which, of course, leaves out the Tea Party) are too fundamentally pussified to bring the fight to Obama on all of this crap:

1.  Obamacare
2.  Open borders
3.  Benghazi
4.  IRS
5.  Fast and Furious

So, I believe Beck is correct. It'll be business as usual. Barry will play golf when he's not ruling by executive fiat. He'll basically slink off to nothingness insofar as the news is concerned, because he'll be behind closed doors with his phone and his pen.

Meanwhile, Boehner will likely be reelected as Speaker (though, like in 2013, it'll be a squeaker) and McConnell becomes Majority Leader. Big whoop. Some of the initiatives that Dingy Harry sat on will make their way through the Senate where they'll run into a brick wall called the White House. Veto City. Or, more precisely, inaction which is the same as a veto.

Those initiatives that wind up like the proverbial dried turd on Barry's desk simply have changed locations. Instead of sitting on Dingy's desk where those turds grow mold, they'll be sitting on Barry's desk drying out.

Nothing will have changed.
