The National Journal ^ | November 20, 2014 | Billy House

Posted on 11/20/2014 1:23:28 PM PST by C19fan

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is drawing a parallel between President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and President Obama's planned executive actions on immigration reform.

"Does the public know the Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order?" Pelosi asked at a news conference Thursday morning.

Now that she mentioned it, while I agree with Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation in principle, Lincoln’s proclamation was likewise a constitutionally indefensible E.O. imo.

Jews rightly become offended when scumbag politicians compare the living conditions of the palistinians to the Holocaust. I wonder if there are any Americans who are descended from slaves who are offended that piglosi is comparing illegal immigration to slavery?

If Obama’s executive amnesty gives legal status to the same number of illegal aliens as slaves that were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, then we have nothing to worry about.

IIRC, it didn’t free anyone in the United States,
but just in the Confederate States,

in which, at the time of the Proclamation, it had no authority.

It’s her powers of reasoning. She can’t see any difference between Blacks brought here against their will as slaves, and other people who have crashed our party and won’t go home.

The states are going to have to do something, possibly drastic, to rein in this out of control fedgov.

And if they won’t, then the People will have to.
Perhaps organize a national “0 withholding” protest.

What an insult to any black American, who isn’t in Sharpton’s pocket, and whose ancestors were actual American slaves unlike Obama, who never had an American Slave as an ancestor.

Again, real history lets us know that the 13th amendment ended slavery, not the Emancipation Proclamation.

The Emancipation Proclamation was a tool of war and intended to demoralize and attrit the Confederates of men and resources.

It took the “Ratification” if the 13th ammendment to end slavery.

This was accomplished under a constitutional process, which led to the 14th amendment.

Buy hell, we can always argue and litigate the abolishment of the 19th amendment and sue can go back to making sandwiches and cooking Sunday dinners....

Correct. It freed no one. It was an unconstitutional ploy by the original lawless president.

“They” keep trying to find a ‘link’ between BO and Abe Lincoln.

The ONLY thing they may have in common is Lincoln was from IL via another state, likewise BO.

Lincoln, a WHITE male, freed the Black Slaves.

BO, a BLACK male is in the process of enslaving White Males.

Before this is all over, he will be having the Blacks wonder where he gets off calling himself Black and they will go back to enshrining WJC as the first Black President.

She didn’t know it at the time but when BO was first elected FOX gave Wanda Sikes a late night show - she really saw the outcome of this fiasco as quick as WE did.

Her first show she was all aglow about the election and made statements such as “I donated 25 bucks to your campaign. When will I get a return on my money”
AND
The most telling and prolific:

‘I am afraid if he ‘messes’ up it will be another 150 years before they will even let a Black Man on the ballot.’

Guess the only way she was ‘wrong’ is it will be around 300 years before the mistake is going to be allowed to happen again.

Nancy Pelosi is a bat-sh!t crazy old b!tch. Which also describes the entire political establishment in the USA (both D and R). It’s long past time that we throw all of them out onto of office, drag them through the streets and hang them from their heels. That includes their extended families, too. The US government has become nothing less than an organized crime ring. P!ss on all of them and their corrupt families, business practices, unfair stock trades, business associates and everyone else that has profited from their government mandated graft, theft, rape, robbery and murder of those of us that work for a living. (FYI...I’m not a union employee. Rather, I am a small business owner that is sick and tired of constantly being crushed under the boot of their fascist big government.)

I believe Lincoln's argument was that the Emancipation Proclamation was necessary to win the war against the rebellion. More or less a military decision as CINC.

I believe Lincoln acknowledged before the rebellion that it would be unconstitutional for him to simply issue an executive order freeing slaves.

Once the war started, he justified his proclamation as a military decision to help the Union defeat the Confederates.

I think this logic parallels Roosevelt's executive order for the Japanese to report to internment camps....used as justification by the CINC in a time of war.

Um, yeah, I see this going over as well with Blacks as someone comparing illegals with Anne Frank would go over with the Jewish.
