"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
 
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan
 
"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792
 
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
 
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Where Are The Patriotic Democrats?

Don't ignore the fact that Obama could not do this without the acquiescence and support of democrats in congress and the senate.

People always ask:

"Where are the moderate muslims?"

We should all be asking:

"where are the moderate democrats?"

Where are the democrats who are patriots and love their honor, country and constitution more than they love the democrat party?

Are there any?

They sure don't show it by their sctions and support of Obama's criminal Anti-Americanism.

Republicans should say they’re going to have to make cuts in WELFARE PROGRAMS to pay for all the illegals that will be receiving welfare.

Make the democrat base turn on him and make Obama explain how he is going to pay for them.

The Constitution doesn't dissolve into a monarchy, but the powers delegated to the Federal government by the several States and the people will devolve back to the states, not disappear into a dictatorship.

Here is what should immediately happen.

All of the states with Republican legislatures and governors should go into emergency session and pass legislation in their states explicitly denying these illegal aliens access to state programs and services, essentially refusing to recognize Obama's executive order.

State can cite Article I Section 8 "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;" and say that Obama's actions are unconstitutional because: 1) they are not uniform, and 2) the power belongs to Congress, and the states are following the laws passed by Congress.

When Obama pushes back like he did the last time in Arizona, the states can say that the Courts already ruled that there needs to be one set of laws for all the states to follow, and that set comes from Congress.

Get as many states as possible to rush through this legislation, and make Obama fight all the state legislatures and governors over this. Get the states to tell Obama that they no longer recognize his authority to act on immigration.

Anything that Congress wants to do on this matter is just icing on the cake. The states are where the fight is.

30+ state legislatures against 1 arrogant dictator.

Take the fight to Obama via the authority of the states.

Obama Is Not a Monarch

He's a monarch if nobody stops him.

I have a hunch that Obama’s usurpation of power is not going to go over well in flyover country and maybe not even in urban areas where unemployment is already sky high. There will be a small slice of the electorate who will approve of what he’s doing, but most are going to be spitting mad.

He is sitting at 37% approval and support for executive amnesty is even lower than that.

It’s clear he’s trying to split the GOP into warring factions so that they will not unite heading into 2016. He’s hoping for third party candidates to emerge for president and for state offices.

The GOP can’t take the bait. They must find common ground and a common strategy which both accomplishes a pushback and also preserves unity for the next two years. Let the cooler heads prevail. Obama would LOVE impeachment proceedings and a government shutdown.

If the GOP wins the presidency in 2016, all of Obama’s edicts can be rolled back with a stroke of the pen.

If the GOP allows this to stand, they fully share some of the blame for America devolving into a third-world dictatorship.

I’d most like to see some of the Republican-led states to lead the way, their governors proclaiming they will not acknowledge Obama’s lawless dictates. Any work-permits for illegals being null-and-void within their states’ borders.

Cruz is level headed.
At least somebody is talking strategy.

As for me, I can only think impeachment and other things that would get me banned from posting here.

Here’s what the Regime has been saying to all of us since the beginning of their reign—and I’m surprised no pundits have put it to them in this manner:

“Look, the continued r@pe of the American people by the Regime is inevitable. And if you’re not going to bend over and take it up the &ss like we tell you, and if you aren’t going to just lean back and enjoy the inevitable r@pe like we tell you, then it’s all your fault. We gave you the chance and you refused to cooperate.”

This is the game for each and every unconstitutional act by the Clinton/Obama cabal, and no republican leader or pundit has the balls to call them on it, as far as I can tell. It’s violent r@pe against the American people and the constitution, and we have the absolute duty to fight it (and all the unlawful Clinton/Obama acts) with every possible constitutional action available.

As Alexander Hamilton explains in Federalist 69, a monarch decrees, dictates, and rules through fiat power, which is what President Obama is attempting.

Alexander goes on to say, in Federalist 72 ... "There may be conceived circumstances in which the disgust of the people, seconding the thwarted ambition of such a favorite, might occasion greater danger to liberty than could ever reasonably be dreaded from the possibility of a perpetuation in office by the voluntary suffrages of the community exercising a constitutional privilege."

Obama is not a monarch, but he is a petty tyrant who acts like the monarch he wants to be. I hope he either reforms and watches with relief while his entire legacy is disassembled, or that he remains the bitter petty man he is and watches in disappointment while his entire legacy is disassembled. I’ll be happy either way.

If he enacts this, and the republicans sit on their hands, he will be the monarch!

we can hire a lawyer to apply to the Supreme court for an emergency injunction to stop this unconstitutional executive amnesty order. or we can get one of our state attorney generals to do it as in the Texas state attorney general

When the President embraces the tactics of a monarch, it becomes incumbent on Congress to wield the constitutional power it has to stop it.

Do you hear that, you GOP capons cowering out there trying to find a way to either compromise or ignore this latest outrage by a President who is trying walking all over us to gain the reins of an Emperor?

You have the Constitutional power and responsibility. We The People DEMAND you use it!!!
