A rising insurrection against Obama
Wash Compost ^ | 4 April 2015 | Colbert King

It’s a scary thought, but here it is: If some red states were to openly defy the authority of President Obama in the exercise of his constitutional duties, would today’s Republican Congress side with him? Or would they honor the insurrection?

Last month, the Republican-led Arizona House of Representatives passed, on a 36-to-24 party-line vote, a bill sponsored by tea party Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) that “prohibits this state or any of its political subdivisions from using any personnel or financial resources to enforce, administer or cooperate with an executive order issued by the President of the U.S. that has not been affirmed by a vote of Congress and signed into law as prescribed by the U.S. Constitution.” ...

One could get the idea that 0bama isn’t planning on going anywhere. Using our laws and military against us, like every muslim anywhere.

I hope all of the states openly defy the president’s lack of authority to commit flagrant violations of his constitutional duties.

in the exercise of his constitutional duties

Since nothing he does is constitutional, he ain't getting much exercise.

Colbert King is whimpering that someone might dare hinder his beloved communist Progressive agenda with the Constitution.

Boo hoo hoooooo

It is past time for people in high places to begin asking the big question:

Is Barack Obama insane?

The long national nightmare that was the Obama presidency is nearly through. The lame duck will accomplish nothing more domestically, it’s over.


I hope you’re right but don’t think so. This evil creature is going to do as much damage as he can between now and Jan., 2017.

I think the bigger question is, “Is the left insane?”

They hold irrational views, like a man who claims to be a woman is one.

If he’s acting against the Constitution it’s an obligation to go against him. That’s what the Loyalty Oath and defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, is all about.

We swear to uphold the Constitution, not an unlawful usurper or dictator.

Correct State. Correct time frame. Wrong County.

the left only supports executive power at the moment because the chief executive is a leftist....I’d LOVE to see the first right wing President we elect start off January with “By executive order, Social Security is now privatized.” When the howling, bitching, and moaning is going on just say “The precedent has been set”.

Can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth that would go on the first day of a President Cruz administration??? President Cruz: “I hereby rescind all of President Obama’s executive orders!” What a glorious day that would be!

According to the maps I have, there is more than one county involved. The section of CA is across the southern border. San Diego is only 31 miles from the border.

So, are you saying San Diego County will not be involved??

Hmmmmm ..?? Our church believes we are.

Yeah, I’m getting that feeling too. And I think what really bothers me is the amount of specialized military here where I live. I’m not afraid of them; I’m more concerned for them.
