Obama Believes He Alone Is The Law In America
Investors Business Daily ^ | 2/27/15 | IBD Editorial

Posted on 03/02/2015 7:32:43 AM PST by Chris in VA

While speaking at a town hall meeting Wednesday night at Florida International University, President Obama clearly indicated that he believes he is the final authority on law in this country. He will not tolerate dissent.

"If Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I'm doing is legal or not, they can have that vote. I will veto that vote, because I'm absolutely confident that what we're doing is the right thing to do," he told a group organized by Democratic Rep. Jose Diaz-Balart.

Emperor Sans-cullotte could not be doing what he is doing if we had an opposition party.

Face facts, people, the GOP exists today to block conservatives, not represent them.

The Uniparty R and D divisions stage the dog and pony shows we call elections to keep us entertained, not to give us a choice.

Jebbish vs Hitlery will prove that to even the most dense among us.

If every republican can’t recognize this as fighting words then we’re doomed as a republic.

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks. Here the aid of the former encroachments and all the other precedents and way-paving maneuvers will be called in of course.

15. …. This will certainly be the case if the people can be either kept asleep so as not to discover, or be thrown into artificial divisions so as not to resist, what is silently going forward.

Democrats are behaving as, well, democrat-socialists. The problem is, so are many of the Republicans (you know, “to get things done”!)

If this is the case, there is no reason congress should keep fussing over legislation, funding, etc., or talking crap about how tyrannical Obama is. There is only one way they’re of any use to use: stopping Obama. I don’t care what any of them have to say until they start talking about how they’re going to take his power away from him. I don’t want to hear about something that might work if we had enough votes, or had more Republicans, or win more primaries. We need something that WILL work right now. Everything else is just noise.

Just because you alone believe what you're doing is "right" doesn't justify it or make it legal. What despot didn't do what he wanted to do because he was confident it was right in his mind? This is very dangerous thinking that has led to costly catastrophes in history.

Liberals don’t want separation of powers, they want concentration of power.

He has to win the nomination first. The GOP has already decided Jeb Bush will be the nominee. After Super Tuesday you’ll be wondering how the heck this happened again.

Okay, fine. So when Jeb Bush is President.....

Wait. How will that be different than Obola being President.

For the purposes of causing Libturd coronaries, I'll stick with the Walker line.

Gruber said the exact same thing he was just more direct when he said the “stupid” voters.

Ok. At least you can cause them some pain first, but Jeb won’t be president either.

Look at the previous two election cycles. McCain was as popular as poison ivy in June 2007 after pushing amnesty TWICE and had no money. Yet he had the nomination sewn up by March.
Romney was the author of the precursor of the hated Obamacare and had taken all positions on all issues at one time or another and was less popular than McCain. Yet again, by March of 2012, he’s the nominee.

They have the calendar rigged so red states have virtually no say until it’s too late. Elsewhere they have purposefully open primaries. The rules have been tweaked to smooth out the bumps Romney experienced on the way to his nomination. The GOP exists to block conservatives, not represent them.

The last 4 Presidential elections have been amnesty D vs amnesty R.

We have to think outside the box the parties have put us in.

I don’t think we have a ghost of a chance of nominating a GOP candidate that isn’t a cheap labor importer.
The RNC has already been paid for an amnesty candidate.
