I watched Fox with blacks discussing the wretched condition of the black middle class with twice the unemployment rate of the rest of the country, it really hit home that here was the center of Obama’s September ‘job creation’ scenario which we’ll hear about when he comes back from the Vineyard.

The Inequality Reduction Jobs Program

Obama’s jobs plan is a National Infrastructure Bank with projects tied to “inequality reduction”

"Inequality reduction?" Is that the new euphemism for "universal affirmative action?"

Affirmative Action on steroids?

Affirmative Action X 1000?

Everybody's going to belong to the Federal Employees' Union and never lose his job?

Whites need not apply?

Win The Future?

WTF??

So, although we may all agree that it is a breach of the public trust and that Obama is a vile snake in the grass, it is completely legal and allowed by the Constitution.

According to that logic, the "president," on American soil, can pardon every muslim mass murderer, every foreign spy bent on sabotaging the economy, every domestic and foreign terrorist, and it's all cool?

He can skate?

When do things rise to the level of High Crimes and Misdemeanors?

Unfortunately, amnesty is a pardon, and the Constitution enumerates that the President has the power to pardon. Andrew Johnson pardoned the confederate soldiers and officers after the Civil war and it infuriated the Congress and they could do nothing about it.

Not so fast, Skippy!

Let's take a closer look at the process.

Can we just take a look at that "Pardon?"

Official Proclamation

There is something profoundly unsettling (and I suspect unconstitutional) about a blanket pardon where each individual to be pardoned cannot be identified.

...but upon the condition, nevertheless, that every such person shall take and subscribe the following oath, (or affirmation,) and thenceforward keep and maintain said oath inviolate; and which oath shall be registered for permanent preservation, and shall be of the tenor and effect following, to wit:

“I, ______, do solemnly swear, (or affirm,) in presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the union of the States thereunder; and that I will, in like manner, abide by, and faithfully support all laws, and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves. So help me God.”
The following classes of persons are excepted from the benefits of this Proclamation:---

Ever officer and soldier covered by the proclamation was identified in the records of the Confederate Army : Name, age, place of residence etc.

It seems to me that, if such a blanket pardon as Hussein is contemplating is to be legal, every individual qualifying for such pardon must be idenfied, preferably before the fact, or 20 million additional criminals will suddenly appear.

Every illegal alien must sign up for the pardon first : Name, Place of birth, age and address of permanent residence.

Mexican residences need not apply.

Any Constitutional scholars care to comment?

Amnesty for illegals undermines the framework and foundation of law. It violates the Federal government’s constitutional obligation to protect the country.

WTF. Outstanding.

Great slogan. Even without the question mark we all know what it means.

Now this borders on treason. Obama is doing so much damage to this country it has become a national emergency to make sure he is defeated.

It already was, in Fast & Furious.

The question isn’t really “why” anymore, it’s “when”?

Here is the cold, hard fact about Obama and the Ruling Class.

Obama is a hardcore Leftist
Obama is a Muslim
Obama want to see the US fail for enslaving Africans, killing Native Americans and fighting the Muslims in the Middle East.

He wants Americans to suffer the way people suffer/suffered in Africa, South America, Asia, Europe...think of WW II Germany, Maoist China, Stalin’s USSR, Eva Peron, Noriega, Mexico, on and on...

He wants to starve us then kill us.

It’s not a joke, he hates this nation.

It will be a nasty endeavor, but he could enlist a foreign nation to help with terror and China or Russia to add muscle.

Im betting that will be the Oct surpise. Voting rights for illegals. You dont think they will executive order that shit in? They already can stay unless they are violent. All the while we all sit back and do not a damn thing about it. Pubs wont do anything, Tea Party just talks, its getting time for more before we lose our way of life forever.

Agreed ... and to what end or degree? Thinking, as you are, why and what are answered. When is the question. Thinking from myself is middle of 2012, or shortly after their king zer0 is defeated at the polls.

Tea Party just talks

My thought on this is sometimes the warning must go out first. Think Paul Revere. Then the preparing, and waiting begin. The waiting is the difficult party. Thus prepare and wait.

... I had written to my Senators about the Somalis in line voting. Their response was it is not possible that they would be voting because you have to be a US Citizen to vote and the Senator went on to quote the law. A cop out

Sure it's illegal, however it's also 'racist', 'xenophobic', politically incorrect, and for all I know a hate crime to demand proof that one is entitled to vote.

Cultural marxism has been very successfull.

Obama is only a shill for the internationalists who have been long planning, at least since the time of President Wilson and the creation of the Fed Reserve by international bankers. Take a look at the $1 bill(s) you carry and get informed as to who in Washington D.C. including the military belong to one or more of the international influential groups/societies that really call the shots for the USA. You will probably be surprised. Then check and see if any of these open or shadowy people are true members of any organizations that stand for the Founders intent of/for our Constitution. There is no fictional conspiracy. it is just real but kept away from the peons.

noinfringers2,

Ah, you get it.
