While driving his express train into socialism, Barack Obama's government is rushing headlong to trounce the Constitution, Amendment by Amendment, and Article by Article at a time, and make us more Europeanly French. Here's his hit list in just his first two months so far.
First Amendment: Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech. It's just not nice to criticize the chosen one. He doesn't like to be called a socialist, he doesn't like his plans to be panned, and he has told the press just that. Senator Debbie Stabinaw, from Michigan, has said that now is the time for "accountability" in talk radio, which is censorship in plain English. In an attempt to kill the messenger of bad news, she and other Obamaphiles are pushing for the return of the "Fairness Doctrine" to silence conservative talk show hosts. So much for the First Amendment.
Second Amendment: ...the right of the people to keep and bear arms , shall not be infringed. Hello HB 45, Assault Weapons Ban, other dangerous plans to make gun ownership difficult, expensive, or impossible. Goodbye second Amendment.
Tenth Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. Obama's "stimulus" plans will force individual states into unacceptable regulation and long term spending to keep them running when the Fed's (our) money runs out. Some free thinking governors believe that Obama's brand of hope means an expansion of federal government that won't be tolerated. Over 20 states have either proposed or passed resolutions affirming their sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment. Some are refusing government money. Socialism can't be implemented where there is independent thought. Goodbye 10th Amendment.
U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 10:...

The American people should ask for and DEMAND a vote of no confidence on this man, Obama...
The 13th?
Just guessing.
We don’t have that here.
Well, we need it in this case...
You don’t protect the constitution by destroying it.
While driving his express train into socialism, Barack Obama’s government is rushing headlong to trounce the Constitution, Amendment by Amendment, and Article by Article at a time, and make us more Europeanly French.
And seeing that the guy was a flaming socialist before the election this is a shock to anyone for what reason?
See this is what I don’t get. A President upon inauguration day swears to uphold and DEFEND the Constitution.
When he begins dismantling it article by article that is abuse of power and said sitting President should immediately face impeachment proceedings along with everyone else in his administration and Congress and the courts who are doing the same.
Where has the courage gone among our leaders to indict these people!?!?!?!
Have we become a nation of mice instead of men?
I suppose he’ll trample on whatever parts he pleases until our “checkers and balancers” step up to the plate.
The only way anyone in the house or senate will take a stand against der Fuhrer is if they begin to feel their own power threatened. Patriotism, love of country, concern for the constitution or the rights of the American people will have absolutely NOTHING to do with it. This is the extent to which Washington has become a den of criminals.
