Obama's Chief Of Staff Admits They Want Tyranny

Denis McDonough says Obama's administration doesn't want his executive orders subject to anything so piddly and irritating as Congress.

The White House recently made an amazing--and disturbingly un-American--pronouncement regarding its desire to move its agenda via executive actions. In describing the administration's intent to pursue "audacious" executive orders, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough stated the Obama administration's desire that its actions "not be subjected to undoing through [Congress] or otherwise."

When one gets a comment like that, it is time to be removed.

They try to sugarcoat tyranny under such nice terms, like “audacious” executive actions.

Relax. Everything is OK.

Obama himself has told us to reject the voices that warn of tyranny.

Nothing’s going to be done. Don’t kid yourself. If something was GOING to be done,it would have started already.

Congress has proven dysfunctional for the better part of Obama's time in office, which would seem to justify entertaining a style of unilateral and unchecked executive governance more akin to an authoritarian regime than a free republic.

His administration isn’t over yet. There is an unbelievable amount of damage he can do to this Republic before he is run out of the country.

Secular humanists believe their ideas are best.

Naturally, they can’t see the weaknesses and flaws in their own arguments. That’s human nature.

God’s Word commands us not to trust our own thinking.

And human opposition to what you think is helpful to getting you to reconsider.

But secular humanists neither listen to God or anyone human being who disagrees with them.

They deny God and reject out of hand, defensively, anything said by anyone who disagrees with them.

How could THEY be wrong?

They’re their own judges of what’s right and wrong.

Circular reasoning and unchecked HUBRIS.

The ACTS of treason have been done for over SEVEN YEARS.

And no action taken.

Now we have verbal ADMISSION. And we will again see NO action taken.

Time for we the people to remove ALL of them. They’re ALL corrupt there in DC.

Agreed. There will be nothing stopping him after the election.

More than that, he will find things that will be difficult to reverse without hurting people.
