Good luck being ruled by bureaucrats that you cannot vote for, then.

Yeah, that's gonna work every time.

So, you also believe that you are so much smarter than the founding fathers - just like Obama.

Her point is excellent: it’s not the fact of the EO being issued (other, similar ones have been issued by other presidents), it’s The One who issued this one that provides reason for concern.

How long before Obama decides it is necessary & proper to suspend the Constitution or elections or ... ?

(Yes, I adjusted my tinfoil.)

And this guy has only been in office a little more than 3 years. Can you imagine FIVE more of this?

If an election year doesn't pull him back, just think what a re-election will do.

THE SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA HEREBY DECREES THAT A DRESS CODE WILL NOW BE ENFORCED BY ORDER OF HIS MAGNIFICENCE AYATOLLAH EMPEROR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II. ALL WHO DO NOT ABIDE BY THIS CODE WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT!

ANY executive order issued by this guy is suspicious.
He has already shown that he will go around the Constitution and around the Congress to get what he wants.
He treats this country like his personal plaything.
He acts as a dictator.
His wife acts as the wife of a dictator.

Add to all this, baraq is pulling all this stuff before the election seemingly with no regard for the political consequences.

He’s warned them many times he would be doing this, but they haven’t said a peep.

September 2011: Facing growing opposition to his economic proposals and dimming prospects that Congress will pass other parts of his agenda, President Obama said, “I’d like to work my way around Congress.”

“There are times where — until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again — I’d like to work my way around Congress.”

July 2011: “...some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own” — a prospect Obama said he found “very tempting.” But the president quickly added, “that’s not how our system works.”

I for one am relieved he realizes the system doesn’t allow for an imperial emperor.

I think Ann is fantastic. I’m worried for her.

“Today, you are either Churchill or you are Chamberlain.”

Why is that it’s the conservative WOMEN who demonstrate cojones?

Maybe he can star in a revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Emperor Jones once he gets kicked out of office. He’s certainly preparing for the role while taking up space in the White House.

Ann explained it all very clearly. Good job!

“And they won’t, those jelly-spined RINO cowards.” I have never seen cowardice at this level, right when we need them most!

Wow, that essay was fantastic. A person like Ann fires me up.

We have been told since before the 2008 elections that Obama wouldn’t be so bad. Even that lout McCain, praised him as he prepared to lose.

All along the way those in the GOP have barely lifted a finger to represent the citizens who know that our liberty is being stripped away daily.

I have never been more frustrated and disgusted in my life and I am 60 now.

We need Patriots to stand up to this den of snakes instead of cowering in a corner.

I know it sounds bad, but it must be ok, I haven’t heard one republican Congressman or Senator make a complaint about it. /s/” - - -

Very good, Venturer. I love wry humor.

( Also haven’t heard a single candidate bring up any this either.)

This EO is essentially identical to an EO issued regularly by presidents. Bush issued this twice in his 8 years.

The EO had to be updated because it referenced FEMA as a separate agency, and it is now part of the DHS, so the EO was re-written to provide powers to the DHS instead. (Isn’t it weird that we have a DHS and a DHHS? Or are they both called DHS? - Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services).

Feel free now to bad to the ranting and histrionics. I’m sure Obama slipped SOMETHING into this that we can get worked up about.

Thank you, Shane, and count me in! How we even get to November I’m quite sure I don’t know.

We are going to keyboard ourselves onto the trains I guess, like some opiate, rather than hike our own jackboots down to the townsquare.

It’s but the unions and radical Marxists and the LaRaza types who have cornered the market on gumption, can-do and cram down.

IMHO.
