They just flaunt it right in the noses of Congress, and the spineless Republicans will do nothing.
DOJ. That would be the Department of Just Us, the leftists. Got it.
They are not refusing to see the forest for the trees - they are refusing to see the forest for the acorns!
OUTRAGEOUS,UNBELIEVABLE!!! Should I laugh or cry???
Obama is not a Communist, Marxist, or Socialist...but we know that he has studied and admired those and other forms of anti-Capitalistic/anti-Democratic governments and theories. I believe he wants to extract ruling ideals from all three of those failed "isms" and mold something that he feels is a more perfect dictatorship.
This is why he, and those with whom he has collaborated in this plan, can truthfully say he is not a Communist, Socialist, or Marxist. It is also why he gets so angry when those terms are attached to his leadership style. Obama he knows they failed, and he believes that comparing his leadership style to those of failed dictators is an insult to his intelligence and his objectives.
Obama is just too egotistical, and too much of a malignant narcissist to adopt,in total, any of the dictatorship style governments of the past. I am sure he believes that he is much more insightful, clever, and powerful than Hitler, Stalin, or Marx ever were or could be. He truly believes that he is a gifted man with an inspired ideal for ruling citizens and controlling their lives. His desire to govern was not born in the feeling to be a "public servant", or out of love for our country, but, rather, Obama desires to be a figurehead to whom homage must be paid and to whom the world will be grateful for his revolutionary conquest over and defeat of the American way of life.
Obama's objective is to institute a government of his own design, probably named after him, with no Congress and only appointees who answer directly to him. Just like the 40+ czars he has already appointed. He has probably already written a book describing his new form of rule, which will be revealed in the future, especially if he is given a second term in office. This objective of his was obvious from the time he designed, in typical dictator fashion, the only symbol ever used by a U.S. presidential candidate. Every new program he institutes is designed to brainwash people into accepting government "Big Brother-type" control. Everything he has done has been to pit citizens against citizens either because of race, religion, financial status, or beliefs. As so many others have noted, Obama follows the Saul Alinsky playbook to reach his target, destroy us from within and to kill the American dream.
In addition, because of his love for, and support of the Islamic way of life and their teachings, learned as a child in Indonesia, Obama will see to it that Sharia-type laws guide decisions our Courts.
We will see our country change alright...there will no longer be The U.S. Constitution that Obama has always resented and ignored. Those who continue to believe that he studied our Constitution because he admired it and to become an expert in its interpretation will soon realize that he studied the Constitution out of hatred for it, and desire to attack it. I believe that when approaching his Constitutional studies that he adapted the adage "know your enemy" in order to tear our Constitution apart and knock it down. It did not matter if he knew it well, or had good grades...all he wanted to learn was what to destroy, and to find the loopholes in our system.
We must watch out...it is coming. The Anyone But Obama attitude must be supported or not only will we loose our Republic, we will loose every freedom associated with it. It will also be the end of sights like this, FreeRepublic, and all other conservative websites, as well as FOX news, Rush's program and any others where the Right expresses opinions and exposes the frauds and criminal activities in the Obama administration. He has already implemented steps for the government to control the Internet. If Obama has a second term it won't be long before MediaMatters.com officially becomes his propaganda spreading arm that will reach out and destroy any Right-wing or even Centrist media source.
