Obama Admin Sneaks Out 144 Big Regulations Right Before Thanksgiving

President Obama is nothing if not predictable. Required by law to release plans for new regulations twice a year, the administration has consistently done so just before major holidays, when few are paying attention.

Thus, it was no surprise to see his fall 2015 regulatory agenda released last Friday, as many Americans focused on Thanksgiving week with family and friends. [...]

... The regulations span the full scope of American life, ranging from labeling requirements for pet food, new test procedures for battery chargers, mandated paid sick leave for contractors, and automatic speed limiters for trucks to a dozen new rules limiting energy use (and increasing the price) of everything from furnaces and dishwashers to dehumidifiers. ...

So how do I know if I’m breaking the law?

Oh. I get it.

None of us has ever seen anything like Obama in our lifetimes. There isn’t one solitary thing he’s done while in office that has benefited the American people. Not one.

He honestly hates this country and its citizens, and has worked tirelessly to harm us in every way possible. I think future Americans will wonder how on earth we kept our cool during his eight long years of wanton destruction.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. …
And of course, Obama desensitizes the public to his “long train of abuses and usurpations” by throwing money and other government freebies at them; with full support of the Uniparty RINOs and their lies about setting things right. That cannot last forever.

Sounds so much like O’Brien in Nineteen Eighty-Four.
The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. […]

Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. …

I need to read that again. I haven’t read it in years.

I started “Camp of the Saints” the other day but I only got to chapter 17.

I got kind of obsessed with politics recently.

I’m afraid if I blink I’ll miss something.

What’s up with the citizens going unconscious on Fridays and the day before holidays?

In reality, it’s a MSM deceit allowance.

Exactly my thoughts several years now. We must be around the same age.

He can take all of those regs and cram ‘em. He’s NOT my president. I’ve impeached him for high crimes and I will disregard every word out of his foolish ass mouth.

Kept cool, my ass.

Do not ignore the seething rage.

We’re approaching a natiomal Come-to-Jesus moment.

These idiots have grossly underestimated us.

Stay safe, brother.

I’m so tired of this crap... nothing works properly after the green Nazis have “regulated” it. Crappers don’t even flush properly.

We are very rapidly becoming the Soviet Union.

In the USSR, they had a term: Otkahznik (In Cyrillic, отказник). Semi-translated, it means "Refusenik." It means a person who refuses to follow orders or obey the law, especially as a protest.

IT IS TIME FOR US TO ALL BECOME "REFUSENIKS"! JUST TELL THE PETULANT LITTLE KIM-IL-OBAMA, "NO."

This should be our banner.

Congress gives power to write regulations. Obama not primary blame.

Those who weren’t cheering him realized he was a penance sent from God?

If the nation actually DID come to Jesus that would be exactly what the Great Physician ordered.

Without that, any outrage is hopelessly splintered and it would not be possible to muster the unified will to do something about any political actor.

If Barack could be deported to Kenya tomorrow, that would leave millions more fools who played a role in his anointing.
