Regardless of your position on same-sex marriage, Obama’s decision earlier this week on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is yet another middle finger gesture by the President of the United States at the US Constitution, and a clear and present danger to the very fabric of the United States.
The irony in his decision is thicker and juicier than the meat on the ribs Michelle ate recently while vacationing in Aspen, although you wouldn’t know it from the headline on the story, which chose instead to highlight the vegetables she also apparently ate; but I digress.
The US Constitution explicitly outlines the duties and responsibilities of Congress (Article 1); the President (Article 2); and the Judiciary (Article 3). Nevertheless, Obama apparently chooses not to recognize these clear delineations in legal authority by declaring a duly signed law unconstitutional. Obama clearly and unconstitutionally inserts himself in Article 3 by assuming the powers authorized only by the judiciary. At least his Liberal friend in the Senate, Dianne Feinstein, is attempting a constitutional remedy to the Defense of Marriage Act by introducing legislation to repeal the Clinton-era law.
Meanwhile, the autocrat in chief has boldly declared DOMA unconstitutional, citing “the equal protection component of the Fifth Amendment.”
I thought Obama saw the Constitution as a “charter of negative liberties” and therefore he didn’t believe in it at all? He certainly doesn’t think very highly of the constitutional citations given by Judge Roger Vinson in his ruling that declares ObamaCare unconstitutional.
Is it just me or have the national media completely sold out for Obama? Okay, that’s a rhetorical question!
Time Magazine’s latest Photoshopped cover image showing former President Ronald Reagan with his arm around Barack Obama is… well… ridiculous! The cover story is even worse! That is, unless you like political fiction, and even then the story is neither compelling, interesting or suspensful.
Up until the State of the Union Prom Ronald Reagan was a bumbling idiot; just ask his son, Ron Reagan Jr.
Now we’re being lead to believe that Obama is a student of Reagan’s and is applying Reaganesque principles to his leadership. (insert hysterical laughter here!)
All Obama has managed to prove over the past year is his inability to tell the truth. He certainly hasn’t proven beyond a reasonable doubt that his faith in Jesus Christ is unwavering and unquestionable. Why else would one-fifth of America think he’s a Muslim? Maybe the partisan political operatives masquerading as journalists haven’t done quite the effective job of indocrinating all of us as they would have liked.
While many Americans would similarly avoid conviction if ever their Christianity were called into question before a jury of their peers in a court of law, it seems like there’s a concerted effort ongoing to convince us of the President’s Christian faith.
But why wouldn’t there be a doubt about his Christian faith? He’s already openly declared that America is no longer a Christian nation; he continues to openly praise Islam; he bows to Muslim leaders; he claims that the Muslim call to prayer is “the most beautiful sound in the world;” he regularly quotes from the Koran and cites it for directing his life; and, he publicly called Christians derogatory names such as “bitter clingers” for holding fast to their Bibles. Moreover, unlike people who change their names upon their conversion to Islam, Obama did not change his name upon his conversion to Christianity.
In the past year alone he made a big deal out of hosting a celebratory dinner to open the month of Ramadan — held in the state dining room; he refused to attend the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts (an avowed Christian organization), and, refused to attend the National Day of Prayer because he claimed to do so would be offensive to non-Christians. News flash Mr. President: your continued snubbing of all things Christian is highly offensive and troubling to the millions of Christians in America you seem to hold in contempt.
But I thought Democrats hate Christians for their intolerance and other egregious behaviors throughout history? We’re continually told that there’s a large chasm that separates church and state and that nothing Christian should ever touch anything involved with the state. Why then would Obama claim to be something that is so hated throughout the American left? Moreover, why would he chose to run away from reports of his Muslim faith when the American left loves Muslims and hates Christians?
I’m glad I’m not the only one with such an opinion: The Second Amendment isn’t about hunting, or even protecting ourselves against street thugs, though firearm ownership does afford us those abilities. It’s much larger, and much more important than that.
Any government capable of disarming its citizens is not only capable of, but is also very likely preparing for the day when those in power plan to rule by despotism and inflict all sorts of evil on their subjects. History bears the proof in this from the smallest of insurrections in third-world countries to the larger and more historically notable regimes ruled by dictators who’s names are widely published in history books.
There are countless examples of such thoughts not only running through the mind of President Barack Hussein Obama. Given his public statements and rhetoric that we currently have at hand, it’s not a stretch to believe that reports are true of his wishes to amass his own police force and establish martial law sometime within his first term. Stories in the Washington Times and even in the European Union’s online newspaper The European Union Times bear witness to such reports.
I came across a YouTube video taken from what appears to be a US Senate committee or subcommittee meeting (Sen. Chuck Schumer is visible in this hearing) from the mid 1990’s. The gist of the video is of Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp sharing a personal story with some Senators about a gunman who killed her parents and a host of others in a massacre in Killeen, Texas in October 1991. One would guess that the discussion before this committee of the self-important was over the assault weapon’s ban.
The most poignant comment made in this video clip, as Sen. Schumer sat with his head in his hand, staring smugly at Dr. Hupp, was when she told the senators that “the Second Amendment is not about duck hunting… but it’s about our rights, all of our rights to be able to protect ourselves from all of you guys up there.”
Wow! Someone with the guts to say that to a bunch of self-righteous senators should be held up to high esteem and lauded for openly speaking such truth. I’d vote for her for President of the United States based on that belief and statement alone!
Consider the man who was President about the time Dr. Hupp made this statement to the senate committee. In 1994 President Bill Clinton said this on MTV:
“When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly. …However, now there’s a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there’s too much freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it.” (http://www.featherlessbiped.com/)
The Second Amendment is truly the linchpin to our inalienable right to self-government and our ability to, in the extreme, force a tyrannical government aside and start afresh. The Declaration of Independence bears this thought out in the second paragraph. To place some context to the phrase, I’ll include the sentences leading up to this point:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
Did you catch that? “…that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government…” (emphasis added).
The Second Amendment is our trump card, so to speak, against government’s desire and ability to grow larger and assume powers not afforded them under the Constitution. Contrary to the opinion of President Barack Hussein Obama the Constitution constrains government; it does not constrain the governed.
Above all others, the Second Amendment holds in itself the ability to enforce the rest of the Constitution — but only if those willing participants stand up and assume the awesome responsibility that comes with liberty and freedom to challenge those who would oppose those rights through tyranny and oppression.
A short video created by a friend of mine, Joe Dan Gorman. A clever use of the lies, distortions and thoughts of our elected officials to illustrate why every one of them is unfit for office and must be removed.
Put in the context of time you can almost get your mind around it. Try this on for size: If you spent $1 per second, for every second of the day of every month and every year, how long would it take to spend $1 trillion? Here’s the math:
One minute = 60 seconds, or $60.
One hour = 3,600 seconds, or $3,600
One day = 86,400, or $86,400
One month = 2,592,000 seconds, or $2,592,000 (now we’re getting somewhere. Think again…)
One year = 31,104,000 seconds, or $31,104,000 (that’s $31.1 million. Still a ways to go)
The number 1 trillion can be written a couple ways:
1,000,000,000,000 … or, for you math types:
1012
So in the immortal words of my daughter: “Are we there yet?” Nope, not yet.
To blow through $1 billion it would take 32.15 years of spending $1 a second. Thirty-two years ago the second-worst President these United States ever saw was starting his first and only term in office.
But we’re not talking “billion,” we’re talking “trillion,” the latest number of the day coming out of Washington DC.
Since 1 trillion is 1,000 times 1 billion, that means that in order for someone to blow through $1 trillion at $1 a second, they would have to live more than 32,150 years just to spend $1 trillion at a dollar a second.
President Barrack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Congress has managed to spend or commit at least 12 times that amount, according to the US Debt Clock. In context of our math here, that means it would take more than 385,802 years to spend that kind of money at $1 per second.
Just to give you a little historical perspective Jesus Christ walked the Earth a little more than 2,000 years ago, and depending on who you talk to the Earth is somewhere between 6,000 years and 4.6 billion years old. So that means that someone living a whole bunch of years before Jesus did would have had to start spending money at a rate of $86,400 per day (in today’s dollars) just to get to the point where they would have blown through $1 trillion by the time that Barrack Hussein Obama, America’s worst President ever, took the oath of office. So why aren’t more people completely and inextricably outraged?
NOTE: Since I first posted this the YouTube video that was imbedded here was pulled by YouTube because it apparently violated their terms of service. There was no profanity or other kinds of legally objectionable material in the video, although it’s hard to argue that the indoctrination of young children in such a way as to worship the President of the United States in such a manner is anything but vulgar and frightening. The video here was posted April 20, 2010. We’ll see how long YouTube keeps this one up. The rest of the blog post is as written last September.
A YouTube video going viral right now shows kids at a school singing praises to and about Barrack Hussein Obama.
Are there any differences to this and images made during World War II of children being indoctrinated as “the future of Germany” under Adolph Hitler?
This is truly frightening on a whole bunch of levels, starting with early Obama statements about building a private Army, to his messianic complex that is evident every time he steps in front of the television cameras.
Public schools should worry about teaching children how to read and write in English rather than making up cute songs to be sung in praise of President Obama. It’s one thing to teach children about government and to have respect for their government leaders, it’s another to indoctrinate them to worship the President. This is pure propaganda!
There’s a blog on facebook called “Barack Obama’s Teleprompter.” I have no idea who put this up, but it’s fun to read because it reads as if the teleprompter itself has its own mind and that the teleprompter itself is a bit more conservative, or at least more thoughtful, than it’s more famous reader, the President of the United States.
I’ve found this thought frightening for some time now. Consider this: the President of the United States merely READS the teleprompter. This tells me that someone else is writing the words he utters. Who’s writing his words? Who’s filling his brain with thoughts? Do we have a “proxy president?” Who is this person?
We’ve seen examples of when he goes “off teleprompter.” He can’t complete a coherent sentence with a cogent argument.
President Barack Hussein Obama does not speak for me. I am an American citizen by birth. I did not choose to be born in the United States, but by the grace of God I was born here to parents who also were born here.
God granted me the privilege of being born in the greatest country on Earth. For that I am truly thankful and owe no apologies! When I turned 18 years old I had the honor of raising my right hand and swearing an oath that I would defend my country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Many years later I still take that oath seriously, even though I no longer wear the uniform of my country.
It sickens me to watch my president travel to some of your countries and apologize for my great nation, particularly when some of you fully recognize that without the greatness of the United States, you would not be flying the sovereign flags of your current nations. I do not say this because I think we are better than you; I think the very fact that people from my country died in defense of yours underscores the American tenets of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that you, like us, are free to pursue your dreams and ideals because ours is a nation that at times has used its military might to preserve such freedoms.
For the tens of thousands of soldiers buried in American cemeteries on foreign soil, and most of all, to their memories, I’d like to apologize for our current president, who uses your good memories and the selfless acts of bravery that you committed for his photo opportunities, as such was the case on the recent 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. To those soldiers still alive who were part of the greatest generation ever in the United States, I personally thank you for preserving freedom and liberty for my family and me. I apologize that your good deeds and memories have become nothing more than photo opportunities for a president who truly hates what you fought and bled for. You need not be ashamed of what you did; you helped liberate continents from dictatorial oppression and despotism and defended this great nation proudly from imperialist attackers.
To the memory of our Founding Fathers I’d like to apologize that the republic you wrought has succumbed to the point that the very liberties you sacrificed to the point of death to achieve are now seen as stumbling blocks and hindrances to the government we now have.
In spite of our imperfections and shortcomings, America remains the greatest country on the planet. The fact that people from all over the world sacrifice life and wealth to get here is a testimony to the American ideal and the exceptionalism for which we stand, one nation under God.
The Associated Press reports that President B. Hussein Obama has essentially “fired” the CEO of General Motors.
Who on Earth does Obama think he is? From where does he assume such absolute power? It certainly can’t be from the US Constitution! That’s an absolute violation of GM CEO Rick Wagoner’s Fifth Amendment rights: his ability to make money through private enterprise has been taken away from him by the Government. This can’t be allowed to stand!
Wake up America — our once-great nation has been taken over by despots!

"[T]he time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them. . . . Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently. . . . Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it - and He will bless or curse this nation according to the course they [Christians] take [in politics]."
