Homeland Security gains more power through new Obama executive order
Daily Caller ^ | 7/11/12 | Josh Peterson

Posted on 07/10/2012 10:11:25 PM PDT by Nachum

Should disaster strike the U.S., the secretary of Homeland Security will be in charge of re-establishing and prioritizing communications to ensure the continuation of the federal government, according to a new executive order from President Barack Obama. The executive order, signed on Friday, once again expands the powers of the Department of Homeland Security — this time to include the handling of communications during a national security event or natural disaster. The order also allows for DHS to re-establish communications “through the use of commercial, government, and privately owned communications resources, when appropriate.”

The expansion of dictatorial powers continues. I wonder if the obamabots in the LSM know this means THEM?

Of course not. They’re too stupid to...

We will not get rid of this curse until:

1. We take back the schools
2. Welcome God back into the culture and public square
3. Yeah, repent is in there too
4. Take back the power of the pen (media)

You see though, “conservatives,” we are a curious bunch. We seem to only invest enough effort to stop the progressive march temporarily. We do this because we do consider the individual responsible for is own affairs, his own success, his own failure. For some odd reason we fall short on the message to ...be responsible for oneself?

Modern society views the act of responsibility as slavery, chains, and something to be avoided. Not understanding that when one shows even a minimal level or responsibility for ‘just yourself,’ you not only set yourself free. You free at least one other person.

When a 47%’er decides to ‘take care of themselves,’ they may not contribute to the tax Treasury, but ...they stop the bleeding and in time the other person paying in to take care of them is freed from that debt. Over time they too will experience more freedom as they earn more. Instead of not being able to get out of the inner city, they will be able to have the freedom to choose to leave. A freedom their government hand-outs could have never given them.

That is the lesson the 47% need to learn. It may not be so much about getting them to pay taxes as it is about getting them to stop collecting it. Life, America, will be better when the 47% stop taking out of society and start contributing...even if it is just taking care of themselves.

If we were able to cut that 47% in half, how much would that be? If that 23.5% just took care of themselves, no taxes, how would that improve our economy?

The Most Dangerous Executive Order Ever issued by Barack Obama

This executive order essentially gives the Department of Homeland Security unlimited powers to seized, monitor, and control all aspects of radio and internet communications, up to and including cell phone service, in the event that the President declares a national emergency. This means that all privately held communications equipment, including personal computers, cell phones, amateur radio equipment, AM, FM, or Shortwave transmitters can be seized with no warning.

Thank you for reply. It is dangerous indeed.

I am wondering if the Kenyan bastard will bring in martial law before 17 July, the day when our wonderful Arpaio will reveal some nasty things about the bastard. His findings will show, among other things, he is illegally occupying our White House; and therefore, he cannot be on Az’s presidential ballot.

We have never stopped the "progressive march" even temporarily. Conservative are easily manipulated by enemies into fighting against ourselves. We are easily manipulated into accepting candidates that are barely Republican forget about conservative. We have not successfully repealed virtually any landmark progressive legislation. Those conservatives that fought hardest against the progressives have been demonized. We are losing because we don't understand what we are fighting and how badly we are being beaten.
