Barack Obama is a king, not a president
FoxNews ^ | May 22, 2014 | F. H. Buckley

Posted on 05/22/2014 7:01:22 AM PDT by Innovative

He makes and unmakes laws without the consent of Congress; he spends trillions of government dollars; and the greatest of decisions, whether to commit his country to war or lay down our arms, is made by him alone. His ability to reward friends and punish enemies exceeds anything seen in the past. He is rex quondam, rex futurus – the once and future king.

All this should be alarming to Americans. Nothing is more central to the Founders’ Constitution than the idea that the centralization of political power in a single person is a threat to liberty.

At this point the only constructive thing we can do is to make sure he will face a Republican House and Senate for his last two years.

“He must be a king.”
“Why?”
“He hasn’t got s—t all over him.”

King? Ass clown. Dumbass. Jug-eared moron. Vile communist ideologue, but definitely nothing resembling a king.

Won’t work. We need CONSERVATIVES in both houses of congress. And as we know, being a Republican doesn’t mean a person is conservative.

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Yeah. If he’s a king, what good is the legislative branch? I’m tired of hearing, Obama is a king, Imperial President, Tyrant, etc. with the solution being election wins and reforms.

I think there’s a sense of urgency missing from these articles.

Of course, America was and is strongly democratic, but one might feel more confident that the future will resemble the past if the media showed much more interest in the alarming rise of presidential power.

The media will discover the imperial presidency the moment a Republican is elected to undo what Zero has done.

Hey Spinner...all that was a long time ago. A time when men were Men. We are in a different era now. Where are the Men? The world wonders!

He’s NOT a King by any means. He’s NOT a representative of the people of this country either.

He’s a figurehead of a political party doing exactly as that political party demands of him. He’s the “yes man” of the Socialist Democrat Party, and is doing the job that party demanded of him in their agreement to support him for that position he abuses for their plan.

Had Obama not agreed to be their puppet, their marionette there would have been some other black guy in his place. The Left had built up a bank of White Guilt over many years, and it was time to exploit the account.

Obama’s on a leash to the controlling arm of a political entity whose interests don’t include our constitutional liberties, rights, freedoms.

We the people whether we believe what I’ve posted, or not had better be prepared to fight no matter.

The Democrat party has to be minimized, and kept that way for this country to survive.

“The son of a bitch is not my President.”

When he was 18 or so, he went to Pakistan. I would like to know which passport he used, because the USA was not allowing US Citizens to travel to Pakistan.

He either used Kenyan or Indonesian passport. ergo, once he became of age (18) he needed to delcair his US resident status, and there is no record of this. Plus, My Kenyan co-workers swear that he was born in Kenya.
