Yes I think he’s working himself up to it. He just keeps poking the hornets nest.

UPDATE (on Fox News Live -- no print link -- D'uh!):

Per Judge Napalitano: Emanuel and other Deep Blue Cesspool City mayors are engaging in tortious interference in demanding banks stop doing business with gun manufacturers and with demanding that city pension funds divest of any gun industry stocks. He also said that Obama is now engaging in violation of the First Amendment in his demanding control of what businesses and private organizations are allowed to say regarding any pro-gun opinions.

Here in MA, Gov. Deval Patrick has barred any pro-gun groups or people from speaking at any of his public meetings about his insane, even worse than Obama, proposed gun bans.

Not on our watch! www.OathKeepers.org

Support the Oath Keepers Patriot movement who's membership consist of former/active duty military and law enforcement. A group such as this could be the deciding factor in our fight against tyranny.

www.OathKeepers.org

We are all needed to help play an extremely vital role in building the size and power of this organization. We can be very effective with our outreach campaigns, and we should do everything we can to spread the Oath Keepers. We should take different avenues of approach to reach as many as we possibly can. Use your personal outreach campaign skills, and contacts to get this information out to those liberty loving Patriots. The clear and popular message of the Oath Keepers will sell itself.

www.OathKeepers.org

Those who can make a donation, no matter how little, will be very helpful. You can make any donations to the Oath Keepers General Fund, The Billboard Outreach Campaign Fund, or The Legal Defense Fund. Just follow the donate link at the top of the homepage.

www.OathKeepers.org

You can also purchase Oath Keepers Brochures and Push Cards that are a great way to get the Oath Keepers message out to large numbers of people. These can be mailed or handed out however you see fit. Just click store at the top of homepage, and then go to Outreach to take a look at these.

www.OathKeepers.org

There is a lot of information for people to take a look at on the site. I would like to urge everyone to take a look at the Oath Keepers at the very least. If you can't look at it now please keep the site in mind for later.

Shame on patriots!

The only reason that patriots tremble in their shoes when they hear about Obama using executive orders to bypass Congress on issues like gun control, an explanation which they're not going to hear from Obama guard dog Fx News, is the following. As much as patriots claim that Obama is ignoring the Constitution, many patriots have evidently not studied the constitutionally limited powers of Congress and the Oval Office for themselves, including not being familiar with constitutonal checks of power between the legislative and executive branches.

Regarding constitutonally undefined executive orders, note that the Founding States made the first numbered clause of the Constitution (that's evidently a good place to hide it from many patriots) to clarify that all legislative powers of the federal government are vested in Congress, not in the Oval Office or the Supreme Court.

In fact, the Supreme Court appropriately clarified in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer that executive orders do not have the force of law unless a given executive order is backed by legistation by Congress.

Executive order

And Obama shouldn't hold his breath waiting for divided Congress to support his king's edict executive orders to regulate guns because the Supreme Court has also clarified in United States v. Cruikshank that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to restrict Congress's power to regulate arms.

"The second and tenth counts are equally defective. The right there specified is that of "bearing arms for a lawful purpose." This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government, leaving the people to look for their protection against any violation by their fellow citizens of the rights it recognizes (emphasis added), to what is called, in The City of New York v. Miln, 11 Pet. 139, the "powers which relate to merely municipal legislation, or what was, perhaps, more properly called internal police," "not surrendered or restrained" by the Constitution of the United States." --United States v. Cruikshank, 1875.

Also, regardless that FDR's activist justices twisted the meaning of the Commerce Clause to allow corrupt Congress to greatly overstep its Article I, Section 8-limited powers in Wickard v. Filburn in the 1940s, justices wrongly ignored Thomas Jefferson's official clarification of the limits of Congress's Commerce Clause powers. Using terms like "does not extend" and "exclusively," Jefferson had clarified that Congress has no business sticking its big nose into intrastate commerce.

“For the power given to Congress by the Constitution does not extend to the internal regulation of the commerce of a State, (that is to say of the commerce between citizen and citizen,) which remain exclusively (emphases added) with its own legislature; but to its external commerce only, that is to say, its commerce with another State, or with foreign nations, or with the Indian tribes.” –Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson’s Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791.

And if Congress cannot regulate intrastate commerce despite what FDR's puppet justices said about the Commerce Clause, then neither can Obama.

So the only thing to be concerned about with respect to Obama's gun-regulating executive orders is how many Constitution-ignorant law enforcement and military officers may try to enforce such orders.

Otherwise, Obama can make paper airplanes out of such orders.

Dear President Idiot,

The US government is over 10 Trillion in debt. Numerous local governments are on the verge of bankruptcy. Many municipalities are laying off government employees and reducing policing staffs. With your economic policies, the collapse of the police state can only fiscally accelerate.

Under Obama and Hillary, US Foreign Policy has been a complete disaster. Your policy in Libya is causing Western European nations to send thousands of troops to Africa in an attempt to stop the hordes of Islamist Extremists you armed. Your policy in Syria is causing an Eastern European Nation (Russia) to send thousands of troops into Syria to stop the Islamists Extremists you have helped finance. In Egypt, citizens armed with sticks are being shot by snipers armed and funded by the Islamist Extremists Government you helped get elected.

Your domestic US policy of not enforcing or defending the southern border of the US is allowing 10's of thousands of illegals to over run many cities of the US. And you now want to make these illegal invaders who do not even know our language and our customs, US citizens.

Anyone who suggests or thinks private American citizens should be disarmed in these circumstances, needs to have their head examined.

Voters brought up to speed on the constitutionally limited powers of the federal government would probably make even more of a difference in limiting Obama in 2014 than they did in 2010.

I don’t doubt that you saw something like that blurted out on Fox News. Thank you. At times, though, media sponsors might want us diverted from what we really can do, in my opinion (showing pro-Second-Amendment voter numbers to members of Congress and state assemblies).

And thank you sincerely for the information from the northeast on corrupt socialist influences on business. The same individuals, having corrupted our economy with too much spending and foreign interests, are trying to do the same in Colorado: one of their dumping grounds for fascist waste.

Thank you both. I live too far from the State line and my ATF.gov searches didn’t find it.

After your replies I searched some more and found it.

Thanks again, hopefully it will never apply to me.

“King Oboma is our dictator and nothing can be done”

WE THE PEOPLE CAN DO PLENTY! We can refuse, defy, delay, obstruct, sabotage any and all of obozo’s efforts to destroy the Constitution, our liberty, freedom, RIGHTS!
We must become like the freedom fighters of wars past...google them and learn who they were, what they did and how they did it. Be careful who you talk to about your politics, join forces with like minded organizations, such as www.oathkeepers.org. If there was ever a time for a organization such as this it is is NOW. Learn from the members of this organization, i.e. active and retired military, law enforcement officers, firemen, men and women like you and me who share the same beliefs..share in ideas with each other and information of all types with one another. We need to organize and join forces with like minded people. Please check out www.freerepublic.com.

You live in MA, one of the Socialist-Democratic Party of USA hell holes. The Democratic Party is dead, and they should be called what they now are, the Socialist-Democratic Party. the hellhole that is the Socialist-Democratic Party, as I do in Illinois. We must take back control of the language from the socialists and call these scum what they are. And may I suggest you pass this on to others.

And if your Gov. is attempting to stop you from speaking at any of his public meetings, you can certainly turn out in numbers and make your presence seen and felt. And if they try to throw you out, you know what to call them as you are being shown the door. Assemble and be vocal, and be vocal when your rights are being denied you.
