I say again, start singing the song “The Day The Music Died”......it fits today.
There's nothing unusual about this. He's not a citizen, so how are you gonna' make it stick? Face it, we haven't had a president since George W. This guy can't be held to an oath that he's not qualified to make.
I hate to keep repeating myself, but we ARE in the midst of a Marxist takeover. We conservatives put too much value in a victorious battle every now and again, while we continue to lose the war. It is the culture that matters more than number of “republicans” in the legislature at any given point that matters, and the culture ain’t doin’ well.
I think we’re already there. The first egregious trigger event in my mind was him declaring Congress to be in recess, when they were still in official session, and making a number of illegal recess appointments. Were there worse before that? There probably were. I just can’t remember.
Sadly their are still to many members of the Republican party that view being in favor of the status quo is more important than any doubts about the survival of the Constitutional Republic.
Sadly these Republicans will gladly look the other way as Obama turns this nation into a dictatorship where the rights of the citizen are to be ignored whenever the political class thinks it is to its advantage.
Thank GOD for the TEA PARTY & the Libertarians as they are the folks that are actually doing the heavy lifting in this fight.
pretty strong words....”totalitarian” in a major newspaper.
Zer0 is a DICKtater.
If I were Obama, I’d be laughing and flipping everyone the bird.
No one’s lifted a finger to stop him.
What are you going to do when he steals the election?
That’s right: nothing.
Now go pay your taxes - your government needs the money. :)
Where in the hell are the REPUBLICANS? This man has lost faith with the people and the Constitution. The republicans need to stand up and bring charges against him or get to the hell out of the way. He has given this country to foreigners. This is despotic and tyrannical. He has usurped the authority given to the Congress by fiat. Congress stays quiet. Where in the hell are the representatives of the people? This is not representative government. This is authoritarianism and violates the Constitution. If we have no Constitution then society breaks down and anarchy will reign. He has crossed the Rubricon. He is despicable. He is selling the future of our children for an almighty vote. Their future is certainly in peril. How far will we the people allow this to go forward. This is dangerous. Now, the strong man...the person who controls our military rules our lives with hubris and contempt. This is not freedom. Simply put it is tyrany.
Dictator ping
"Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths?"
For an amazing history lesson and sermon by the Rev. Benjamin W. Arnett, readers might want to visit the Library of Congress and read the entire text of his Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon, paying special note to the excerpts below which discuss and describe the nature of the oath:
From the Library of Congress: African American Perspectives: Pamphlets from the Daniel A.P.Murray Collection, 1818-1907
Centennial Thanksgiving sermon,: delivered by Rev. B.W. Arnett, B.D., at St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio
Excerpt from P. 31, in which he is discussing the Declaration of Independence:
"We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare: That these United Colonies are and of right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, and in a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." - JOHN HANCOCK.
Arnett continues:
"And the names of the whole Congress followed. You see that there is Divinity in this immortal document. Can we find in the "Articles of Confederation" anything to support the position that the founders of this government intended that it should be a nation for God, and that his religion should have a place in this land. It says: "Whereas it hath pleased the Great Governor of the World to incline the hearts of the legislatures we respectively represent in Congress, to approve of and to authorize us to ratify the said Articles of Confederation and perpetual union." Thus we find this assembly thanking the Governor of the world for inclining the hearts of men. Who can move the hearts of men but God? But we find them in reverence bowing to the Governor of men.
"We now call your attention to the Constitution of the Nation and let us examine that instrument in the light of the men who formed it, and we will see that this was intended to be a Nation founded in Righteousness and Justice. What does the instrument say on this subject:
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
"Article VI says: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall be required as a Qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
On Page 37, Rev. Arnett described the nature of "oaths and affirmations" as follows:
"Oaths and affirmations are appeals to God, by him who makes them, that what he has said, or what he shall say, is the truth. It is the most solemn form under which one can assert or pronounce anything, and its violation is a crime of the darkest hue; one which God has declared he will punish; one that is made infamous and punishable by fine and imprisonment, by the laws of the land. Thus Christian obligation is required of every officer of the general Government, who fills any position of trust, honor or emolument. Many reports are required in the form and shape of affidavits."
IBD stopped short of telling the truth.
Obama is a liberal fascist, a nationalist socialist of the first water. He must be removed from office by election OR by force majeur, if necessary.

close is a relative term... they'd need to create a new term of distance to measure how close he is since the angstrom is already takenI guess Romney remains silent as he employs the world renowned losing technique of RINO stategery....
