If I were elected president, my first act would be to repeal all the EOs of the previous 10 presidents(just for a nice round#) and ban further use of EO.

It's funny that Lord Jug-Ears is doing now what he's said that he couldn't do because he didn't have that authority; and no one is stopping him.

“Seventy thousand casualties?” Not enough. Not using your definition of casualty of course.

Right. I don't want to kill them. I want to find out if they're smart enough (and dedicated enough) to say "Want fries with that?"

Exactly. Any other President in our history would have been impeached for the acts Obama has committed.

Impeach and repeat as necessary!

What kind of body count is it going to take?

IMHO raising taxes will not wale the American public up enough to bring a solution - the trigger will be when he comes for our weapons.

Agree! But who will do it? I’ve written my congressman so many times that I’m probably on his SH/t list. CRICKETS. Know what I mean?

Seriously? More than half the country is asleep, including many who have guns. It’s going to take a military coup or citizens revolt -BEFORE the guns are seized!

Good post.

The majority of people today, like the plebes of Rome before us, cheer Caesar because he promises bread and circuses.

Oddly enough, that is what net neutrality is about, at least nominally. Sure, there could eventually be censorship by some means, but the internet is designed to work around censorship and the countries that try, like Iran and China, fail miserably.

No, what net neutrality really means is circuses, in the form of Netflix soft core porn and lots of meaningless, drivelous entertainment takes priority over all other content on the internet. In my own case it is stark. I have few choices for internet in my rural area. If just one person between myself and the tower decides to stream some garbage, I get no bandwidth other than a few packets every now and then. That's the same thing China does when cranking up the filtering in a vain attempt to only let permitted content through. My providers will be forced to allow streaming video without throttling and I will get no service.

I too believe he is trying to draw people out, it backfired on him with Ferguson. The race war fizzled out.

Federal troops will never fire on Obama/Holder's People

You sure about that?
I don't put false-flag ops out of the realm of conceivable government actions, nor do I put trying to spark rebellion/violence so that they can hold onto the veneer of legitimacy as they bring military force [possibly wielded by police] into the picture.

Don’t bother thinking if some Republican became President and wanted to implement executive order “tax cuts”.

Wow — you seem to actually believe that the Republican party is at all what it clams to be about; that's kinda cute in its naivete.

Well....you might think that it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. But that segment of society isn’t predictable and I really don’t think Obama and his ilk really have a clue what it is to be “down with the struggle” and the reality of what he and his predecessors have created. They are too concerned with about votes, media and their subjugated votes. Nothing about the potentially uncontrollable explosive nature.

As a whole, entirely volatile; opportunistic; looking to ‘get paid’ any way, time or place they can. UNPREDICTABLE in short. The only predictability is the unpredictability. He might can instigate it but he can’t control it if it starts.

When the 90% wake up they’ll ask the 10% “Why didn’t you do something.”

Never forget Obama told Joe the Plumber “I want to spread the wealth around.” It was a slip of the tongue so the leftist media went all out to destroy Joe. And that effort wasn’t even needed. He started spreading the wealth and nobody did anything to stop him.

I’ll bet the SC will agree that it’s just a typo if they even hear the arguments.

America is not too proud to beg for mercy. Only those who don’t believe in God. And that’s almost America.

Then to me, it would be time for outright secession.
