'Change' via executive power grab
NY Post ^ | April 29, 2011 | Michael A. Walsh

Having lost the House of Representa tives in the last election, the Obama administration is now imposing "fun damental change" via executive order, regulatory fiat and political pressure. Talk about the unitary executive:

* The Environmental Protection Agency has ruled that Shell Oil Co. may not drill for oil this summer in the Arctic Circle off Alaska, where an estimated 27 billion barrels of domestic oil are waiting to be extracted.

“Interesting thought experiment.(not quite Schrödinger’s cat territory but good “Interesting thought experiment.(not quite Schrödinger’s cat territory but good none the less).”

Indeed it is.

Here’s obuma’s political officer addressing the troops: “Good morning, Marines. Today we begin an operation to kill your mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and friends and neighbors for the glory of president obama. I know you may have mixed feelings about...”

Bang! Traitors, including officers, bleed and die like anyone else.

The last survey of the officer corps showed that 90% of them identify themselves as either conservatives or republicans. The political ass-kissing corps is seriously outnumbered. Flag staff officers supporting obuma are an exception, not a rule.

The best king obuma could hope for would be a military that splits along political lines, similar to what happened in 1861. Even with that, the obuma supporters would be seriously outnumbered in both personnel and equipment.

Obuma would also lose control of the states’ guard, not to mention the 26 states that pay for an organized militia in their territories.

What he will do in the next two years will make this seem pale.

And, unfortunately, the "Republican" controlled House we worked so hard to get elected is led by weak, effete, elite, pansies who capitulate to the destroyers every time.

“And if the Commandant of the Marines approves those movements, Obama would replace him with someone who would not.”

Obuma gave an order? What order? We never received any orders. New commandant? What new commandant? You talking about Gen. Kiss Ass? We got a call that he got lost in a swamp and was bit by a copperhead. He died unfortunately.

The first act of the next President is to rescind every executive order since Jan 21, 2009, before making her inaugural address.

Thats what we hoped Bush would do about Clinton's executive orders, but he rescinded not a one.
