On the FoxNews segment featuring Obama’s remarks his mike remained open after his brief and IMO detached remarks, he spoke to his daughter informing her they were to remain while the songs of each of the four armed services were played. Apparently he is unaware of the position of the United States Coast Guard.

They mourn Independence and Liberty. They prefer Dependence and Tyranny.

They frequently wear black ... as you well know, they even dressed their little girl in black for the “coronation.” Black; the color of mourning, negativity, darkness, etc.

Don’t seek any meaning behind Obama’s attire — the American Independence Day means as much to him as it would to any other Kenyan.

Good lord, they call that woman a fashion icon? She looks more terrible everyday. That hair and that dress is awful.

You’re a racist. You think black means mourning.

Actually, I’ve seen no sign either Obama thinks twice about what they wear in public.

He’s faking it. He’s celebrating this:

Constitutional erosion from the courts and our governemnt.

We are being usurped and controlled by the United Nations more and more.

1- Stop the “Real ID” Act, S.1261 (worth watching!):

2- http://www.jonchristianryter.com/News_Folder/Behind.html

The latest article on BEHIND THE HEADLINES tells you how Obama’s government lawyers are trying to sabotage Kerchner v Obama, et al. One of the lawyers argued that ... while the 1st Amendment guarantees people the right “...to petition the government for a redress of grievances ... this right to petition does not include a corresponding right to a response.” She continued that people do not have “... a constitutional right to force the government to listen to their views ... the Constitution does not grant to members of the public generally a right to be heard by public bodies making decisions of policy.”

In the view of the US Attorney, the 1st Amendment only allows you to petition the government, but it’s a one sided arrangement that does not require the government to listen ... or respond. We have a serious problem on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. If nothing else, this article will make you think. And when you do, compare the historic parallels.
