Rand Paul Seeks to Undo Obama's Executive Actions on Guns
Roll Call ^ | Niels Lesniewski

Posted on 01/16/2013 8:49:12 PM PST by JohnPDuncan

Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday night announced plans to try to undo parts of President Barack Obama’s executive proposals to curb gun violence, saying the president may be developing a “king-like complex.”

“We will nullify anything the president does that smacks of legislation,” the Kentucky Republican said on Fox News in reference to 23 actions Obama unveiled earlier in the day. The executive actions range from steps to encourage states to improve information sharing on background checks to directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to conduct new studies related to gun violence.

“I’m very concerned about this president,” Paul said, before alluding to contentious executive actions taken by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his record-setting tenure in the White House. Roosevelt served three full terms and part of a fourth. He died in office.

“FDR had a little bit of this ‘king complex’ also. We had to limit FDR finally because he served so many terms that I think he would have ruled in perpetuity, and I’m very concerned about this president garnering so much power and arrogance that he thinks he can do whatever he wants,” Paul said.

B. Hussein Obama IS the Anti-Christ for America.

The minds and emotions of Obama’s voting enablers have been frozen into oblivious support for whatever Obama wants to do.

Nicoleae Carpathia in the fiction book “Left Behind” is what Obama is in real life.

Those who see, and those who hear are ignored or otherwise marginalized by the Obama enablers.

As America struggles to awake from its “White Guilt” first Election (2008), the dawning reality of its first Bolshevik Communist Election (2012) has yet to reach the fear level of action that is the hallmark of American response to mortal danger, for example the Pearl Harbor response in 1941.

To put it in an historical context, the 2008 Election of B. Hussein Obama was analogous to the Japanese Fleet leaving Tokyo Bay for Pearl Harbor.

The Passage and Court approval of Obama’care’ was equivalent to the bombing of The Arizona on 12-7-41.

We are finished as a Republic as long as we continue to hire RINOs to be doormats for Communist Obama’s enablers.

The blame goes not to the Communists, as they are just doing what Communists do best.

The blame goes to the loyal supporters of our Republic who are in very short supply in the US Congress.

The end of our Republic will not end well if the current RINO domination of the US Congress continues - - - .

He’s the only one who has stood up for the constitutional rights of Americans. He’s even gotten into Jan the man’s face about abuse of Americans at the airports and abuse of power in other instances in the name of “terrorism.”

I like him. He’s not as mindlessly radical as his dad was and he’s learned to keep the radical Paulites (libertarians) at arm’s length. The more radical ones are mad at him and that is a good thing.

Not only for America. Look how he has enabled the caliphate in the ME AND Africa. He is bad for the whole world.

That video left me infuriated. Our Republic is no more. It is rapidly being transformed into a all powerful State.

I pray the day will come where ALL the humans that organized every last one of the raids is hunted down and properly "dealt" with with absolutely no mercy.

People do not realize that the Federal government is adding Sadistic people on the payrolls daily. They take great pleasure abusing other humans.

There hearts are no less evil than those of the Nazis.

Karl Rove and his cohorts are busy finding the next loser for us to nominate so we MUST out-do them and organize early. Rand is definitely running, you can tell from his statements.

Check out his facebook: ‘RandPaul2010’

He also just made a personal trip to Israel. I think Rand Paul is the real deal. Gives me some hope for the future. I also think he will not allow himself to be trapped by the ego-p. And the TEA Party loves him. All good. Sarah Palin would campaign her heart out for him.
