Caesar Crossing the Rubicon
Commoner's Sense posted a piece this morning called "Ceasar" where he compares Barack Obama to the great Roman general who destroyed the Roman Republic after defeating its defenders in a civil war and crowned himself dictator for life. Commoner Sense writes: "The ego that drove Caesar to cross the Rubicon under arms is the same ego driving Obama."
Obama may harbor Caesar-like ambitions for political control and power and think himself a semi-divine being destined for great things; but the gods aren't blessing him with success. While Caesar crossed the Rubicon from a limited Republic of free men and slaves into absolute tyranny where he alone was free Obama's drive to cross the river of free market capitalism into economic servitude-is failing.
Ceasar triumphantly crossed the Rubicon and captured the defeneseless city of Rome deserted by Pompey and the republicans. But Americans are rising up in growing numbers to defend their freedoms against this Caesar wannabe who now seems like a pathetic weakling drowning in midstream.
Oddly, the turning point for defeating Obama and stopping his advance came in the month of July, the month named in honor of Julius Caesar who bled to death like a dog on the Roman Senate floor stabbed by freedom loving republicans in BC 44.
