Some of Obama’s decrees have been set aside by the courts. Not all but some.
This ties in with consequences of a Hillary presidency.
A Hillary presidency will pack the courts with liberals who will ratify any executive action taken by a president in support of some liberal cause.
Again, where is that snake Paul Ryan and that other snake Mitch McConnell??????
“Did you ever think you’d see the day when Communists would teach America a lesson about the democratic process?”
Karma
Barack Hussein Obama, a man with no record of personal accomplishment, no leadership experience, and a man with strong connections to terrorists, criminals, racists, and anti-American Communists pulled it off and was elected then re-elected President of these United States. What does this mean and what does it say about the American people? Could it be that karma will finally bestow the consequences of dishonorable behavior on the American people?
Why do I say this? In answer to my question, let me remind you of this statement and where these words took the American people:
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Inaugural address, Friday, January 20, 1961
With these words ringing in our ears, my generation went to Vietnam and promised the Vietnamese people we would stand shoulder to shoulder with them until their freedom was secure and the enemies of liberty were defeated. By 1973, with the Paris Peace Accords signed by the United States, South Vietnam, and North Vietnam, the Vietnam War was effectively over and the United States and South Vietnam had effectively won the war.
But, it is to America’s eternal shame and disgrace that the American people then sided with Communist North Vietnam and betrayed the South Vietnamese people who had believed and trusted us. In 1974, the American people elected Democrats to our Congress who had rather see our country defeated than allow a Republican President to receive credit for defeating our enemies. This Democrat led Congress (the infamous 94th) cut off funding and support for South Vietnam and abandoned a valiant ally to their fate. American troops were withdrawn, but we departed with the hollow promise that we would return if the Republic of South Vietnam was ever invaded by Communist North Vietnam. As we all remember, in 1975 Communist North Vietnam invaded the South and the United States did nothing in response.
The tactic we had taught the South Vietnamese was to, when invaded by the North, fall back to a defendable position, stall the communist advance, force the communists to mass their forces before South Vietnam’s defenses, and this would allow time for American forces and air power to return to assist them as we had promised. South Vietnam did just that; for twelve days, outnumbered ten to one, the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) held and stalled the communist’s advance outside Saigon near a little town called Xuan Loc.
Outside Xuan Loc during April 1975, in an effort as gallant as that of the Spartans at Thermopylae, the ARVN 18th Infantry Division held two North Vietnamese Army Corps at bay for twelve days. Every infantryman in the ARVN 18th Infantry Division died in that stand. None ran away and none survived. They died to a man fighting overwhelming odds and believing to the end we Americans would return as promised.
Just before the last ARVN soldier of the 18th Infantry Division died, he might have rolled over on his back and looked to the sky hoping to see the contrails of American B-52 bombers and he saw nothing. This last ARVN soldier then knew that he, along with all the Vietnamese people, had been betrayed. With his dying breath, this soldier must have then turned his gaze heavenly and beseeched God to Damn America.
Yes, there is such a thing as karma where dreadful consequences are meted out in recompense for dishonorable behavior. The American people’s just rewards for abandoning a valiant ally during their time of need could have been that the chickens came home to roost on the American people with an Obama Presidency, a Nancy Pelosi Congress, a Harry Reid Senate, a John Roberts Supreme Court, and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving people.
The election of 2008 and re-election of 2012 was about more than just Obama, his arrogance, his empty resume, and his traitorous comrades. Just as karma provides consequences for dishonorable behavior, there are also adverse consequences for irresponsible behavior. As a people deserve the government they vote into office, they also deserve the consequences resulting from that government’s actions or inaction. The consequences of a government not securing a country’s borders is that a people will lose their country as we are now losing ours to an invasion of illegal aliens. The consequences of not securing a country’s electoral processes to prevent voter fraud is the country will lose its Democracy to a Thugocracy as we have lost ours to a Chicago-mob run Coup d’état.
But the final insult to our Republic is with the election of Barack Hussein Obama, an avowed Marxist Communist, a significant chapter in American History finally closed. Our sixty year long Cold War with Communism is over and the Communists won the war.
These words precede those of President Kennedy, so no one can say we didn’t see this coming:
“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of Socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.”
Nikita Khrushchev, 1959
As we Americans continue to live out the old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.”

When we allowed the Kenyanesian Usurpation we forfeit the Constitution.
Why should he pay any attention to it when we would not uphold it?
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
It was predictable that he would not feel obliged to abide by the Constitution.
We didn’t.
Again, where is that snake Paul Ryan and that other snake Mitch McConnell??????
Writing checks so Obama can implement his Dictatorial Plan
When I read the headline, I thought our Congress has approved it. Then remembered they are not in session.
So am grateful they have not approved it-—yet! :(!
O’BumHole needs to get the Senate & House to approve (Ratify). O’BumHole can’t do it with out them approving. Some Smart Constitutional Expert he is.
Lyin’ king don’t care one way or another. He “feels” it’s his prerogative to go ahead and sign on for the betterment of the erf. As long as he has the backing of the 57 state govs, he’s good to go. Or something. The US Senate will NOT approve this load of manure in any case.
The August 23, 2016 Forbes magazine had an interesting article:
“Reversing Climate Change — A Profit Motive For Saving the World.”
It’s about a technology to capture CO2 from the air using special filters, from which the CO2 can be extracted profitably and sold for industrial uses such as plasics manufacturing, biofertilizers, water desalination, soda pop. Then the filters can be reused.
One unit could take out 100,000 tons of CO2 a year. So it’d take 30,000 such units to take out the 30 billion tons which humans pump into the air each year and what the climate accords call for.
Who knows if it’d work. But if it did, the liberals would just find another pretext to attack freedom and capitalism, which of course is what the global warming movement is really all about
On vacation.
They work a three day week, f’goodness sake.
Correction: It’d take 30,000 *clusters* of such units, each cluster taking out a million tons per year, to take out the 30 billion tons total.
I’m 51 years old. Thanks for the history lesson I never learned.
At some point as carbon dioxide levels drop life on earth starts pining for the fjords. I think I read it was around 150ppm. Currently we are around 400 ppm.
And if one of the clusters ruptures? LOL! It all sounds like a “cluster” to me. We’re just moving elements from one place to another. Of course this is all predicated on settled science being settled.
Well stated. Thanks.
I don’t anything past technology.
I like the idea of these CO2 filters, because it it shows that even if you assume there is a global warming problem, it could be solved by free enterprise, at a profit in the marketplace (without some subsidized boondoggle).
And even if you don’t worry about CO2 causing global warming, something like these filters could be installed next to power plants to profitably use the CO2 emissions.
As far as I can tell, human-caused CO2 emissions are not a problem.
I think sun cycles are the best bet for causing major climate change problems, and that’d be global cooling.
That is not the US Senate. Cannot be valid no matter what obozo says
LOL! Lyin’ king don’t care who’s senate does or doesn’t approve it. ‘He’ is all ‘he’ needs. Just ask him.
