Devilish details behind Obama's bullet ban
Obama is dead set on destroying America. But after all - he promised to do just that when he said he would fundamentally transform the USA.

First Barack Obama decided to overreach and extend amnesty by executive order. One judge in Texas has told him no and Republicans are hanging their hat on that judge’s order.
Then the FCC decided to declare internet a public utility. They overreached, rushed it through, and committed to as little transparency as possible to make it happen. Congress did nothing on this front and the FCC decided to replace the Congress on the matter.
Now there are reports that Barack Obama, by executive order and agency regulation, will curtail the manufacture of certain ammunition.
Again and again and again the President of the United States has met the boundaries of his powers and stepped across them. The Senate is now on the verge of confirming his Attorney General appointee who sees no limits to the power of Octavius Obama.
Given Barack Obama’s continuous overreaching of power, I must now ask if it is time to consider impeachment proceedings. Is it even possible?
Of course some of you think I mean against Barack Obama. No, can we impeach, remove from office, or otherwise put metaphorical cement shoes on Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)(N/A) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)(67%)?
The only reason Barack Obama can and is doing what he is doing is because Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)(N/A) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)(67%) have enabled, emboldened, and incentivized him.
Boehner and McConnell have their press fluffers claim they are tough guys scrapping for a fight. McConnell is cast as Darth Vader. Boehner is cast as the guy in the bar. But in reality they are scared school girls. They will fund the government, extend temporary funding, and otherwise bend over in front of Obama declaring, “Thank you sir, may I have another?”
It speaks volumes that at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, neither Boehner nor McConnell are speaking. Even the American Conservative Union, which is often criticized here and elsewhere as too close to the GOP to be indistinguishable from it, is not having them speak. In fact, ACU deserves credit for the move. The mood here among the several thousand people is deep, deep hostility toward the Republican leadership in Washington.
Much of what Barack Obama is doing, Boehner and McConnell privately support. They have no desire to fight him on Obamacare. They were happy to fund it. They have no desire to fight him on amnesty. They’re happy he did it. And on the issues that they care about, they crap their pants at the thought of a government shutdown.
Folks, we do not need to impeach Barack Obama. He is only getting away with the excesses of his office because Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)(N/A) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)(67%) are petrified to use the power of the purse to stop him. They are so scared of political damage to themselves that they are willing to allow policy damage to the country and an undermining of the very constitution they swore an oath to defend.
At some point men have to stand up and damn the consequences to do what is right.
But we are not led by leaders of men. We are led by cowards — cowards for whom no oath is meaningful or sacred.
Didn’t read the article, did you?
Then we have the embarrassment that was the recall election to replace McConnell - without anyone bothering to put a worthy successor in the nomination.
It truly appears that the only people who pursue a career in politics are either those who are too wealthy to need to work, or those too stupid to be able to do anything productive. The bare minimum a person should do, before preparing to run a election is to have a candidate that is worthy of holding the position.
I see precious few Republicans worth the time to vote for; yet I somehow manage to hold my nose and vote anyway, only to be betrayed within weeks of these idiots taking the oath of office.
Just as dangerous domestically. The illegal immigration project is going ahead full speed. The court is being defied and Obama is transferring money from other agencies to get it all paid for regardless of what Congress does with DHS funding. He can appropriate new money all he wants up to the debt limit and maybe beyond that. He is ruling without Congress altogether now. He is still playing games with Congress because Congress is still inclined to go along with whatever he decrees or at least will not oppose him. We have into the Venezuela phase now heading for the Cuban phase.
“I see precious few Republicans worth the time to vote for; yet I somehow manage to hold my nose and vote anyway, only to be betrayed within weeks of these idiots taking the oath of office.”
You’re right, it’s both infuriating and demoralizing. It makes you want to give up, but we can’t do that.
Almost seems the thread is now getting more posters concerned about correcting others than contributing to the original topic or it’s evolution. Too bad, because Erickson has written an excellent piece here. Perhaps you could repost it later towards evening and add to the title “impeaching Bonehead and the Turtle” in parenthesis or something.
It has also come out that Obama has spent thirty BILLION dollars on his health care scheme that is not authorized in the law.
Again, an impeachable lawless usurpation.
“Perhaps you could repost it later towards evening and add to the title “impeaching Bonehead and the Turtle” in parenthesis or something.”
You may be right. The spotlight of the article was on McCommell and Boehner.
“He is ruling without Congress altogether now. He is still playing games with Congress because Congress is still inclined to go along with whatever he decrees or at least will not oppose him. We have into the Venezuela phase now heading for the Cuban phase.”
Well written. There is a reason/s congress is not opposing him. Personally I suspect it is because they are all members of the Uniparty, and the ‘game’ is to try and pretend that they actually stand for something different, while behind the curtain they slap each other’s backs congradulating one another for an excellent performance.
I call it the Imperial Party or just the Oligarchy.
“Can We Impeach Now?”
Is quota boy still a negrO/
Then no.
Impeach ‘em all. From Zero down to the local Dog Catcher.
We massively need a Reset.
“We massively need a Reset.”
A massive reset would be great.
Thank you, SRT, for posting Eric! Spot on!
The overall Republican impotence has become its most glaring feature and its only calling card. Just as Sir Walter Raleigh’s coat laid way for the queen, this pair in Congress regularly and predictably lay all of us down across the mud for the Obama agenda to pass over.
Eric is on to something.
I don’t think they do what they do out of cowardice (though certainly they are).
They are complicit. They are in essential agreement with the regime. They are part of the regime.
“Thank you, SRT, for posting Eric! Spot on!”
Thanks, Rita.
I’m glad, too, that guys like Ericson who have a platform from which they can be heard (in his case, RedState, radio—including occasionally sitting in for Rush) are willing to take these guys on. Of course, Levin does regularly and even Rush expresses his disgust at times.
How can we even think we are going to stop Obama if we can’t even unseat guys like McConnell and Boehner?
And if guys like Jeb can get the time of day?
The GOP is just too corrupt to act. If they were going to act they would already be doing it. Its not going to happen. They will squander this Senate majority and lose the Senate again in 2016. I can hardly bear to even watch it.
“I don’t think they do what they do out of cowardice (though certainly they are). They are complicit. They are in essential agreement with the regime. They are part of the regime.”
You’re probably right. After all, they are probably being paid handsomely to gut the citizenry by Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and other Chamber of Corruption entities.
Until the leadership is replaced with conservatives with balls, this has less than zero chance of happening.
