MARK LEVIN: We are witnessing a gradual, quiet COUP!
Posted on Jan 14, 2014 at 6:57 PM
Mark Levin opened his show today livid over Obama’s announcement that he will ignore the legislature and use his pen to write executive orders. He says the separation of powers are the key to our Republic and yet today Obama just announced that he would assume lawmaking powers via executive orders.
Mark Levin says what’s going on here is that we are witnessing a gradual, quiet coup:
He’s just announced that he is going to assume lawmaking powers. He does not recognize the majority in the House of Representatives. I don’t know how much more clearly he can say it. You know what this is folks? This is a gradual, quiet coup. That’s what is taking place. It’s gradual. It’s quiet, in the sense that it’s non-violent. But it’s a coup!
Listen to the whole segment below:

It is all on John Boehner. If he had a sincere bone in his body, or any fight in his gut, he would thrown down the gauntlet and shut down some government agencies.
Every Saturday morning. Pick a spot (VFW, American Legion, church, etc). Start with a small group. Then you invite (by personal invitation only) others so that you grow every week. You vet your own people to prevent infiltration.
You set your goal to attain personnel strengths of squad (12), then platoon (40), then company (100).
When you get to battalion strength, then you have clout. You will be able to do projects that can turn entire communities.
But that means getting rid of idols. TV, video games, NFL, MLB, gayscouts, bowling, etc.
There is no other way. Absent that, we are just talking and filling space on the internet super highway.
If you have something proving the states can lawfully secede, I would love to see it. I will move to the first state that secedes in a heartbeat.
Hmmm. Kill at will. That cuts both ways.
Think: a pair of wire cutters can be an unimaginably deadly weapon.
He’s resembling the false messiah of the last days more and more every day.
Boehner? Cantor? McConnell? McCain?... Anybody!!??
“Take up arms. It’s getting close, imho.”
As much as I hate to admit it, and even more hate to see it...I think you are probably right. God help us. I weep for my country.
I'd rather they die at the end of a rope.
It seems to me the distinct possibility that Obama and his people are trying to instigate a civil war or 2nd revolution so they can clamp down on their political enemies and postpone indefinitely the upcoming elections. Thereby, keeping the naked emperor in power long enough to destroy America completely.
“Taking up arms is pure anarchy.”
Not if it is in self defense. And not if it is to preserve liberty.
By your definition, the American Revolution was not a revolution at all, but simply anarchy.
The Founders did it. Our country was not founded by the
likes of the current Lollipop Guild in charge of the
Republican Party. Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson,
“The Tree of Liberty must be watered from time to time
by the blood of tyrants and patriots.”
P.S. I don’t know how to photoshop. Could somebody please
doctor a picture of the Lollipop Guild with the faces of
Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, and post it to a site for maximum viral effectiveness?
Good that Mark has finally figured it out.
Exactly. I wish the military would drag this bastard kicking and screaming out of the Oval Office and hold a new election.
What makes you think he has that power? There are at least two other parts required and the Republicans don't control them.
Good that Mark has finally figured it out.
Mark had it figured out a long time ago. Maybe before you figured it out, too.
Yup!!!
During the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania outlined “the distinction between a federal and a national supreme government; the former being a mere compact resting on the good faith of the parties, the latter having a complete and compulsive operation.” If the Constitution established a federal government, and it did, then the Constitution did not have a “compulsive operation.” In essence, the people of the states in convention could either interpose their sovereignty to arrest the acts of the general government or withdraw from the Union. Morris, a nationalist, recognized that the states still held sway when he suggested that the Constitution be voted on by state and that the states, not a consolidated people, had to ratify the document. The Constitution as ratified in 1787 and 1788 is “a mere compact resting on the good faith of the parties.” That compact can be unilaterally broken at any point by the same people of the States which ratified it.
Neither the Framers nor the ratifiers believed that the Constitution created a “consolidated nation” as Story suggested. It was argued in all state ratifying conventions that the opposite was true. The Union was made “more perfect” but never consolidated. The States still had all powers not delegated to the general government, as the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution clearly illustrates, and every State proposed a “Tenth Amendment” in their suggested bill of rights in the months after ratification. John C. Calhoun wrote that, “I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It is the supreme power in a state, and we might just as well speak of half a square, or half a triangle, as of half a sovereignty.” In other words, delegated powers were still retained by the people of the States at large for their exercise if they chose to rescind that delegation. Sovereignty can never be divided or surrendered in part. If the states had it in 1776 as Jefferson wrote, then they maintain that sovereignty to this day and thus can exercise that sovereignty through an act of interposition or withdraw.
To whit and to boot there are still four commonwealths in this union (although most of those populaces know not that they live in one that reserve the right of their state and its power from the people).
I wouldn’t rest my laurels on anything from SCOTUS as of recent (i.e., the last several decades), they have gotten LOTS wrong along the way.
It's quiet because there is no vocal push back from those in a position to make a push back credible and newsworthy. Where is the loyal opposition?
"Keep practicing, John. Soon you'll be able to bend ALL the way over!"
I just heard Mark question Senator Tom Coburn about the executive orders. Coburn not only did not offer any push back, he only offered helplessness. It was truly amazing.
