Major congrats on the home schooling thing. Not sure if I could have done it but I really admire people who do.

Fortunately, my kids were both in good schools and things went fine.

IOW, he has every bit as much respect for the Constitution as that noted constitutional scholar, Barack Hussein Obama.

I watch most of his rallies. Then I watch the archives on the ones I missed. It is getting old but not old for the millions attending. He is working so hard. I love him. He is the greatest American since George Washington. With absolutely no doubt.

That is a sad post.

It saddens me that you think that.

Once again, Trump shows his admiration of Obama and is methods.

If Trump could use an EO to fire McConnell, you'd smile...don't lie.

From George Washington's Farewell Address

"It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositaries, and constituting each the guardian of the public weal against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern; some of them in our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield."

FWIW

Thanks. I should get little credit. My wife has homeschooled for 26 years, with 5 years to go. All our kids were 100% homeschooled, the older ones graduated from college with honors, and one getting an appointment and attending a US military service academy.

Just to be clear, the same People who let Obama create this situation are now concerned about Trump, Concern Trolls?

Of course, G.W. Bush issued nearly 300 EO’s thoughout his Adminisration, not too far off the average of his predecessors, but it never seemed to make the News.

Heck, Reagan issued almost 400 EO’s.

FDR was the worst with over 3,000 and Obama is pretty much average, although there is a Bogus number floating around saying Obama has issued 900 of them, a complete fabrication.

Not defending it, just putting it out there.

Apparently the ends really do justify the means. If we’re gonna burn it all down, let’s stop messing around and burn this mfer down! Let’s just not pretend that it’ll be in order to save The Constitution. We need to restore it, not abandon it.

If Obama can bypass Congress, so can the next President, be it Trump or Cruz.

I do not like to think it either.

I honestly see no way to reclaim the Constitution than to employ the left’s Alinsky tactics against them. Until that happens they will never understand how evil they have become.

I have no problem with Trump overturning Obama’s illegal executive orders by executive order. But, beyond that, the Constitution must be abided by, otherwise our Constitutional republic truly is finished.

Do we really believe in the principles of our founding or not? Using illegal and unconstitutional methods to further conservatism is just as wrong as using it to promote liberalism.

As I said, it seems appropriate and constitutional to rescind Obama’s illegal and unconstitutional acts by presidential order. Righting wrong executive action by executive action works for me.

r u saying trump or cruz is the antichrist?
not sure of your point. i think all current politicians are evil and are mostly men that can be used by us. god says when its over its over. for me i will fight to govern ourselves. God could say man has done a great job for the 1000 years. i would like more time for that.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” .>>>>
