McConnell and Boehner could shut the FCC down yesterday via funding. But since they’re both fags, and the kind that likes to dress up in snappy Nazi era uniforms when they’re humping little boys out at Bohemian Grove, don’t look for them to do anything except nod in approval while they wax their riding crops.

Of course. They want everyone to think in an approved manner.

To: Kaslin; All
"The Federal Election Commission is considering expanding [emphasis added] their regulatory power ..."

Bear in mind that federal elections laws are all screwed up anyway because the Founding States had never intended for senators and presidents to be elected by the general voters.

Otherwise, note there are no constitutional provisions for any federal entity to arbitrarily expand its regulatory powers.

In fact, the Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, to clarify that all federal legislative / regulatory powers expressly delegated by the states to the feds are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in constitutionally undefined “independent federal regulatory agencies” like the FEC. So the elected members of Congess have a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative powers whether they want it or not.

And by delegating federal legislative / regulatory powers to non-elected bureaucrats like those running the FEC, corrupt Congress is wrongly protecting such powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 referenced above.

So rogue federal agencies like FEC (EPA, etc.) have no constitutional basis to exist imo.

Political free speech is the most protected there is. It’s the primary reason for the 1st.

Well before they accomplish this let me just say that Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, aka little bathhouse barry bastard boy, aka L4B is the perfect verminous liar to be the democrat president.

The FEC wants to know who is getting money from the Koch brothers.

The Democrat/RINO-controlled FEC wants to know who is contributing money for Tea Party candidates, so other government agencies like the IRS can destroy them.
