The Most Unconstitutional Administration

[Where_r_my_Keys]

ROFLMNAO~

Jeb has no chance of being nominated. As Americans are sick and tired of Progs and Socialists.

You'll be subjected to the harsh, welfare slashing, budget balancing, Illegal Deporting, obamascare reversing hand of President: Cruz, Carson, Paul, or Rubio.

Guy, are you really that delusional that the Great Unwashed of the GOP Base really get a say in who the nominee is?

LOL! Hey Guy, 2008 and 2012 called and they want their "Prog-Business as Usual" back.

Neither Jeb, nor any other Prog is being nominated as the GOP Candidate...

 

[Freewill]

Obama is the second greatest loser.

You're the first.

History books are going to be very kind to Obama. Your grandkids will probably go to a school named after the guy.

Liberals own the school system.....all you need to know about these dolts is that they name schools after folks like..

"..John Dewey High School,Norman Thomas High School, Fiorello La Guardia High School and Frances Perkins Academy in New York City; Thurgood Marshall High Schools in San Francisco, Dayton, Ohio, and Missouri City, Texas; Paul Robeson Elementary School in Trenton and Robeson high schools in New York and Chicago, Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Md.; Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, Ga.; Walter Reuther High School in Kenosha, Wis.; William J. Brennan High School in San Antonio, Texas;A. Philip Randolph Elementary School in Atlanta; Floyd Olson Middle School in Minneapolis, Minn.; Fannie Lou Hamer Middle School in the Bronx, N.Y.; the Paul and Sheila Wellstone School in St. Paul, Minn.; the (private) Ella Baker School in New York, the high schools named for W. E. B. Du Bois in Milwaukee, Wis., Baltimore, Md., and Wake Forest, N.C.; the schools named for Louis Brandeis in New York City and San Antonio, and for Rachel Carson in New York City and Beaverton, Ore.; know much (if anything) about the lives and accomplishments of these towering progressive figures?"
Saul Alinsky Elementary School? How We Honor America's Radicals and Reformers


"....towering progressive figures?"

So....that proves.....what?

Lack of judgment.....after all, Liberals elect things like Obama and Clinton.

Liberal history, a pack of lies agreed to.

Bogus.
The Supreme Court has stolen powers it was never authorized to have, nor deserved.

1. The Constitution is the only set of laws that the people of this nation have agreed to be governed by. The Founders knew that, by man's nature, aggrandizement would always be sought; this included the courts. So, March 4, 1794, Congress passed the 11th amendment:
"The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State."

2. You see, in 1792,Virginia had refused to respond to the Courtat all (Grayson, et. al. v. Virginia)(Page 26 of 44) - The Impact of State Sovereign Immunity: A Case Study authored by Shortell, Christopher.

3. But, in 1793,the Supreme Court claimed jurisdiction over a sovereign state(Chisholm v. Georgia).

a. The court claimed that the preamble referred to the desires "to establish justice" and "to ensure domestic tranquility," and this gave the court the right to resolve any disputes. Justice Wilson went right for the throat: "To the Constitution of the United States the term SOVEREIGN, is totally unknown."
Chisholm v. Georgia | Natural Law, Natural Rights, and American Constitutionalism

4.This was not what the Federalists had argued when the Constitution was being debated.
The agreement was that federal courts could hear such suits when they had been initiated by the states. And that is exactly what is stated in the 11th amendment: federal court's jurisdiction had to be read narrowly!

a. The 11th amendmentexplicitly denies the federal courts jurisdiction over lawsuits "prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State."

b. The issue was about exactly how much authority had been granted to the federal courts through the Constitution. The purpose of this amendment was tolimit federal courtsto the strict confines of article III.
"The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution,"p.56, Kevin R. C. Gutzman





5. In 1801, John Marshall was appointed Chief Justice, and he consistently tried to reduce any limits on federal power.Case in point, in the 1821 decision in Cohens v. Virginia, he found that the 11th amendment only banned suits against states that were initiated in federal courts.

Nonsense:this was not the intent of the amendment, but rather an intent to extend the jurisdiction of the federal courts and the federal government.


John Marshall, as is true of most modern judges, expressed his hostility toward limitations of federal power.



And, living under a cloak of stupidity, far too many folks imagine the the clear language of a law is unintelligible until some anointed one in a black robe tells them what is says.





6.Marshall represents a pivotal point in the pirating of power by the federal government.


7. Marshall was at odds with Jefferson, who he mocked as "the great Lama of the mountains."(NYTimes) This was because Jefferson recognized that the Supreme Court had become a threat to the idea of limited constitutional government. "He worried that the Court had eliminated all checks on its power by misreading the clear messages of Article III and the eleventh amendment." Gutzman, Op. Cit.

Well said... . Thank you.

Ronald Reagan's administration would have to be the most unconstitutional and corrupt administration ever. He's in a criminal class of his own.

ROFLMNAO~

Hysterical... (In every sense of the word.)

ROFLMNAO~

Hysterical... (In every sense of the word.)

Why is that hysterical? What objective criteria do you suggest should be used to make a judgement about corruption in an administration? Why wouldn't it be reasonable to simply count up the number of persons in the administration who are convicted of crimes or receive pardons for crimes, all of which were committed during or directly related to the persons position in the administration? What other criteria could be used that is not subjective and opinionated or agenda driven?

 

[Sun Devil 92]

In January, the D.C. Circuit held the NLRB appointments to be unconstitutional, which ruling White House spokesman Jay Carney said only applied to “one court, one case, one company.”

I was not aware of this.

Is this like saying Roe vs. Wade only applied to Roe ?

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

Why is that hysterical? What objective criteria do you suggest should be used to make a judgement about corruption in an administration?

Personally, I use empirical evidence culled through observation of the obama Cult. Which I set against the empirical evidence observed in nature, which define the laws of nature; particularly as such relates to human behavior and the means of such to sustain individual and, by extension, cultural viability.

Why wouldn't it be reasonable to simply count up the number of persons in the administration who are convicted of crimes or receive pardons for crimes, all of which were committed during or directly related to the persons position in the administration?

There is no means to use THAT criteria, as the obama Cult has thoroughly politicized the Justice Department. Meaning that the would-be "Justice Department" under obama, lacks any sense of objectivity, thus possesses no means to serve Justice.

Such is only one of the reasons to never allow Leftists within sight of a polling booth, let alone raising them to any sense of actual power.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

This administration is "unconstitutional" because you want it to seem that way.

Of course, in your condition, you can't possibly recognize how absurd your post is.

My aim would be, as that of the Founders, a government based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.

So....no, I don't wish to see an "unconstitutional" government.


Are you embarrassed that you've been hoodwinked into voting for one of these totalitarian political views:
Communism, Nazism, Liberalism, socialism, Progressivism, and fascism.

Why do you consistently reference the founders and repost the same talking points over and over again.. Your claim that liberalism is totalitarian is ridiculous, and you should feel like a fucking idiot, since the most socialist countries have more freedom. LOL. Politicalderp.

"Your claim that liberalism is totalitarian is ridiculous, and you should feel like a fucking idiot,..."

Time and again, when folks realize they have been skewered, their language falls to the vulgar. It's one of those hard to hide psychological tells....your anger at being bested leaks out as vulgarity.


So...you are embarrassed at having been hoodwinked into voting for one of these totalitarian political views:
Communism, Nazism, Liberalism, socialism, Progressivism, and fascism.

There's a reason I'm calling you an idiot, if you read the rest of the post, you'd see why. If the countries with the most economic freedom have socialist things like UHC, high minimum wages, strong labor unions, regulations, etc.. It refutes your idiocy. Your assertion that liberalism is totalitarian has absolutely no basis in reality, at all, apart from pulling anecdotal examples of bigots being told to stop being bigots.

What do you mean by economic freedom ?

Great if you could cite some examples.

OK, you prefer to use subjective opinion based criteria. I find math to be more accurate.

Your math is utilizing a flawed equation.

For instance, your equation does not count the absence of indictment(s) on these felonies from a list that is now two years old:

1. IRS targets Obama’s enemies: The IRS targeted conservative and pro-Israel groups prior to the 2012 election. Questions are being raised about why this occurred, who ordered it, whether there was any White House involvement and whether there was an initial effort to hide who knew about the targeting and when.

2. Benghazi: This is actually three scandals in one:

• The failure of administration to protect the Benghazi mission.
• The changes made to the talking points in order to suggest the attack was motivated by an anti-Muslim video
• The refusal of the White House to say what President Obama did the night of the attack

3. Watching the AP: The Justice Department performed a massive cull of Associated Press reporters’ phone records as part of a leak investigation.

4. Rosengate: The Justice Department suggested that Fox News reporter James Rosen is a criminal for reporting about classified information and subsequently monitored his phones and emails.

5. Potential Holder perjury I: Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress he had never been associated with “potential prosecution” of a journalist for perjury when in fact he signed the affidavit that termed Rosen a potential criminal.

6. The ATF “Fast and Furious” scheme: Allowed weapons from the U.S. to “walk” across the border into the hands of Mexican drug dealers. The ATF lost track of hundreds of firearms, many of which were used in crimes, including the December 2010 killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

7. Potential Holder Perjury II: Holder told Congress in May 2011 that he had just recently heard about the Fast and Furious gun walking scheme when there is evidence he may have known much earlier.

8. Sebelius demands payment: HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius solicited donations from companies HHS might regulate. The money would be used to help her sign up uninsured Americans for ObamaCare.

9. The Pigford scandal: An Agriculture Department effort that started as an attempt to compensate black farmers who had been discriminated against by the agency but evolved into a gravy train delivering several billion dollars in cash to thousands of additional minority and female farmers who probably didn’t face discrimination.

10. GSA gone wild: The General Services Administration in 2010 held an $823,000 training conference in Las Vegas, featuring a clown and a mind readers. Resulted in the resignation of the GSA administrator.

11. Veterans Affairs in Disney World: The agency wasted more than $6 million on two conferences in Orlando. An assistant secretary was fired.

12. Sebelius violates the Hatch Act: A U.S. special counsel determined that Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made “extemporaneous partisan remarks” during a speech in her official capacity last year. During the remarks, Sebelius called for the election of the Democratic candidate for governor of North Carolina.

13. Solyndra: Republicans charged the Obama administration funded and promoted its poster boy for green energy despite warning signs the company was headed for bankruptcy. The administration also allegedly pressed Solyndra to delay layoff announcements until after the 2010 midterm elections.

14. AKA Lisa Jackson: Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson used the name “Richard Windsor” when corresponding by email with other government officials, drawing charges she was trying to evade scrutiny.

15. The New Black Panthers: The Justice Department was accused of using a racial double standard in failing to pursue a voter intimidation case against Black Panthers who appeared to be menacing voters at a polling place in 2008 in Philadelphia.

16. Waging war all by myself: Obama may have violated the Constitution and both the letter and the spirit of the War Powers Resolution by attacking Libya without Congressional approval.

17. Biden bullies the press: Vice President Biden’s office has repeatedly interfered with coverage, including forcing a reporter to wait in a closet, making a reporter delete photos, and editing pool reports.

18. AKPD not A-OK: The administration paid millions to the former firm of then-White House adviser David Axelrod, AKPD Message and Media, to promote passage of Obamacare. Some questioned whether the firm was hired to help pay Axelrod $2 million AKPD owed him.

19. Sestak, we’ll take care of you: Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used Bill Clinton as an intermediary to probe whether former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) would accept a prominent, unpaid White House advisory position in exchange for dropping out of the 2010 primary against former Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).

20. I’ll pass my own laws: Obama has repeatedly been accused of making end runs around Congress by deciding which laws to enforce, including the decision not to deport illegal immigrants who may have been allowed to stay in the United States had Congress passed the “Dream Act.”

21. The hacking of Sharyl Attkisson’s computer: It’s not clear who hacked the CBS reporter’s computer as she investigated the Benghazi scandal, but the Obama administration and its allies had both the motive and the means to do it.

22. An American Political Prisoner: The sudden decision to arrest Nakoula Basseley Nakoula on unrelated charges after protests in the Arab world over his anti-Muslim video is an extraordinarily suspicious coincidence. “We’re going to go out and we’re going to prosecute the person that made that video,” Hillary Clinton allegedly told the father of one of the ex-SEALs killed in Banghazi.

23. Get rid of inconvenient IGs: Corporation for National and Community Service Inspector General Gerald Walpin was fired in 2009 as he fought wasteful spending and investigated a friend of Obama’s, Sacramento Mayor and former NBA player Kevin Johnson. The White House says Walpin was incompetent.

24. Influence peddling: An investigation is underway of Alejandro Mayorkas, director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, who has been nominated by Obama for the number two post at the Department of Homeland Security. Mayorkas may have used his position to unfairly obtain U.S. visas for foreign investors in company run by Hillary Clinton’s brother, Anthony Rodham.

You can add to that the lack of indictments for the Former Sec-State who used a private e-mail server and who used her authority to coerce HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in 'contributions' to her husbands would-be 'charity', exposing TOP-SECRET US Intelligence to the enemies of the United States... .

Along with the indictment(s) that have not come, regarding the recent environmental catastrophe by the obama Cult, wherein it sent a trillion gallons of toxic water down the Colorado River, etc... .

And finally, you should take some time to look up the meaning of 'subjective'... it doesn't mean what you feel it means. It quite literally means the opposite of what you're trying to convey through the erroneous usage... .

(Reader, the above cited would-be "Contributor" is a Leftist, thus is a Relativist.

Relativism, rejects the existence of objectivity, thus erroneously assumes that everything is relative to the individual's own experiences, thus everything is subjective. This is the basis of what is otherwise known as: EVIL.

And this is why, everything the Left does, results in chaos, calamity and catastrophe... which, as you, know are the intrinsic results of every application of evil.)

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

For the edification of the Reader, here is a fair description of the most notable felonies committed by obama personally along with his more notorious lackeys:

"Benghazi:

The deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya in 2012 were greeted with a concerted public relations campaign by the Obama administration blaming the attacks on a protest inspired by a YouTube video, as revealed in the smoking gun Ben Rhodes email. (Ben Rhodes, deputy national security advisor to President Obama, is CBS’ President David Rhodes’ brother.) The media, including David Kirkpatrick of The New York Times, continue to dispute key facts of the case such as al Qaeda’s involvement, have championed erroneous Congressional reports, ignore evidence of a cover-up, and have generally covered for the administration by promoting the idea that this is one of many “phony scandals.” The interim report of the Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi details the various failings and scandals related to Benghazi.

IRS scandal:

The IRS targeted conservative groups applying for non-profit status from 2010 to 2012. In what some see as an attempt to influence elections, the IRS began requesting inappropriate information disproportionately from conservative groups and then delaying their approval, generally chilling free speech throughout the country. Lois Lerner, at the heart of the scandal, has refused to testify before Congress, pleading the Fifth Amendment. The media continue to argue that President Obama is not connected to this scandal, but it can be tied directly to the White House. The President has tried to assert that there isn’t a “smidgeon” of corruption at the IRS.

Fast and Furious

The Obama Justice Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) encouraged gunwalking across the Mexican border of thousands of weapons, resulting, ultimately in the murder of border agent Brian Terry. An ATF whistleblower, John Dodson, spoke out in 2011 about the problems with the ATF’s decision to let guns go to Mexico. As I wrote about in 2011, Fast and Furious was a scandal that no longer could be denied, but the media continued to do so. Sharyl Attkisson recounts in Stonewalled, “But as outrageous and remarkable as the allegations are, most of the media don’t pick up on the story. They’re steering clear.” As I wrote, the scandal “involves some 1,500 guns, about 1,000 of which ended up in Mexico, and a Border agent…who was murdered with weapons found near the scene of the crime in Arizona. The weapons were among 57 linked to Fast and Furious which have been tied to at least 11 violent crimes in the U.S., including the Terry murder.” Like Benghazi, Fast and Furious resulted in real deaths—but the media continue to ignore or downplay this scandal.

Veterans Administration

Following revelations in 2014 that there was widespread Veterans Administration falsification of health care wait times, and that certain locations had created secret waiting lists for veterans, the media finally declared this a scandal. But it’s not Obama’s scandal, it’s a Veterans Affairs scandal. Hunter Schwarz writes for the Post that “It was a very significant scandal, to be sure, but perhaps not one that people laid directly at Obama’s doorstep.” The Washington Post’s Fact Checker Glenn Kessler recently referred to this one as a scandal, noting that only eight people have lost their jobs so far as a result of this veterans care debacle, not 60 as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald said last week on Meet the Press. But as I have argued, there were really two scandals at the Veterans Administration at the time: health care wait times and the disability benefits backlog.

Solyndra

Solar panel business Solyndra received more than half a billion dollars as part of the administration’s green energy program, before going bankrupt. Its executives took substantial bonuses before the layoffs began. And, a Solyndra investor was also a major bundler for Obama, demonstrating a conflict of interest when the administration refused to turn over more documents as part of a Congressional investigation. And yes, the Post reported on its front page that the Obama administration had asked the company to “delay announcing it would lay off workers until after the hotly contested November 2010 midterm elections that imperiled Democratic control of Congress.” But NPR ran an article last year victoriously announcing that “Now that the loan program is turning a profit, those critics are silent”—as if that had anything to do with the crony capitalism of the Solyndra scandal.

Obamacare

Obamacare is an ongoing debacle of premium increases and high deductibles coupled with crippling regulations. It leads to less, not more, health care access. While the focus has been on errors made within the “Obamacare rollout,” the media continue to champion exaggerated statistics regarding the alleged 10 million who have received health insurance under President Obama’s signature legislation. In reality, this program marks a rapid increase in Medicaid, and many enrollees are part of a “substitution effect” by which people who previously had insurance have switched to Obamacare. The subsidies, which the media casts as essential to the law, are under dispute in the courts, and increase the burden on the American taxpayer. Even Politifact called President Obama’s false assertion that Americans could keep their health plan if they liked it the 2013 “Lie of the Year.” Meanwhile, the complicit media finds every chance it can to champion this legislation’s “successes.”

This list just scratches the surface. Executive overreach has become standard fare, whether on immigration or environmental regulations. The Obama administration’s penchant for controlling leaks, a lack of transparency, and a war on journalists has been noted by the likes of former Washington Post executive editor Len Downie Jr. who said “The [Obama] administration’s war on leaks and other efforts to control information are the most aggressive I’ve seen since the Nixon administration leaks,” and New York Times reporter David Sanger who said, “This is the most closed, control-freak administration I’ve ever covered.” James Risen of the Times added that the Obama administration has been “the greatest enemy of press freedom that we have encountered in at least a generation.”

The administration’s Middle East policies have been a disaster, if not scandalous. Just look at the growing threat from the Islamic State (ISIS) and other radical jihadist Muslim groups. More than 200,000 have been killed in Syria, Libya has become a jihadist playground, described by former CIA officer Bob Baer as “Mad Max,” and Yemen, as recently as September held up as example of where Obama’s foreign policy is working, has seen a coup by Iranian backed jihadists. And looming over all of this is the unfolding, outright appeasement of an Iran with nuclear aspirations.

What unifies all of these scandals and lies is how our news media have looked past all the administration’s corruption, treating these occurrences as discrete, minor grievances, gaffes—or even conservative or Republican political maneuvering. This means that the constant lies by the administration, and President Obama himself, can be made with impunity. The media simply will not hold President Obama, or any of his associates who might tarnish his reputation, accountable."

No “Major Scandal” in Obama Administration?

Relativism, rejects the existence of objectivity, thus erroneously assumes that everything is relative to the individual's own experiences, thus everything is subjective. This is the basis of what is otherwise known as: EVIL.

And this is why, everything the Left does, results in chaos, calamity and catastrophe... which, as you, know are the intrinsic results of every application of evil.)

There is nothing wrong with my math. You are using subjective data. I am using objective data. Do you know the difference?
All your data is based on opinion, speculation and unproven allegations. If the concept of innocent until proven guilty is applied, your data is inadmissible. You are simply giving an opinion based on opinions. All of your points can be debated and argued about. Objective data are facts that can not be debated. People convicted of crimes are convicted of crimes. That is provable fact. You can argue that they were wrongly convicted, but you can not argue the fact that they were indeed, found guilty.

Why is that hysterical? What objective criteria do you suggest should be used to make a judgement about corruption in an administration?

Personally, I use empirical evidence culled through observation of the obama Cult. Which I set against the empirical evidence observed in nature, which define the laws of nature; particularly as such relates to human behavior and the means of such to sustain individual and, by extension, cultural viability.

Of course you don't. You make up random 'laws of nature' citing yourself as nature. And ignore anything that doesn't match what you already believe. That's just a run of the mill Confirmation Bias fallacy mixed liberally with an Appeal to Authority Fallacy.

If your arguments worked logically or rationally, you wouldn't need either fallacy. Yet your argument is hopelessly dependent on both.

There is no means to use THAT criteria, as the obama Cult has thoroughly politicized the Justice Department. Meaning that the would-be "Justice Department" under obama, lacks any sense of objectivity, thus possesses no means to serve Justice.

Such is only one of the reasons to never allow Leftists within sight of a polling booth, let alone raising them to any sense of actual power.

Yeah, but you're not using objective standards. You're using your personal and hopelessly subjective opinion which you laughably call 'objective' . And we don't convict anyone of any crime based on your personal opinion.

There is nothing wrong with my math. You are using subjective data. I am using objective data.

What you're doing is conflating the distinctions between subjective and objective.

Objective: (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts: historians try to be objective and impartial. Contrasted with subjective.

You're SUBJECTIVE PERSPECTIVE is that there existed indictments and convictions in the Reagan Administrations... and none in the obama cult. And you're concluding that this proves that obama's cult has committed no crime.

When in FACT... HUNDREDS of Felonies have been committed by obama himself and his cult members, including Treason, as define by the Constitution of the United States... with such having not been charged because the obama cult LACKS ANY SENSE OF OBJECTIVITY... thus insufficient objectivity precludes those within the cult, who are responsible for policing such, REFUSING TO CHARGE THOSE PEOPLE AND TO TAKE THE EVIDENCE TO THE GRAND JURY, WHO WOULD HEAR THE EVIDENCE AGAINST THE OBJECTIVE STANDARD OF THE LAW AND WHERE SUCH IS MET, INDICT THEM.

It's not even a debatable point.

(Reader, do you see how pervasive Relativism is? The would-be "Contributor" is simply incapable of realizing any SENSE of objectivity. And again... THIS is why such people should have absolutely NO means to speak or otherwise convey what they are thinking, in PUBLIC. Leftists should be stripped of ANY means to vote and of course, to ever be allowed to serve ANY function in any level of governance, from Condo-Boards UP!)

You do not know the definitions of words you are trying to use. There is nothing subjective about indictments and convictions in the Reagan administration. Those are objective facts. They occurred and can be proven and demonstrated to have occurred. They are facts. That is what facts are.
Your statement that hundreds of felonies have been committed by Obama is just biased subjective opinion. Opinions are based on compilations of personal judgement's. Unless you can provide tangible proof of a conviction for a felony in the Obama administration your statement is just meaningless rhetoric promoted by biased agenda driven partisans. That is my subjective opinion. If I say the statement is false, that would be an objective statement of fact because without convictions, the statement in technically false.

 

[Skylar]

There is nothing wrong with my math. You are using subjective data. I am using objective data.

What you're doing is conflating the distinctions between subjective and objective.

Your personal opinion isn't objective. Its just your opinion. Your sole tactic of debate, regardless of topic is to insist that whatever you imagine must be objective truth. But you run into the same brick wall every single time:

Subjective is not objective. Your subjective opinion doesn't define objective truth. Its just your opinion.

And thus your entire argument crashes and burns in the exact same place, each time. Every time.

Objective: (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts: historians try to be objective and impartial. Contrasted with subjective.

You're SUBJECTIVE PERSPECTIVE is that there existed indictments and convictions in the Reagan Administrations... and none in the obama cult. And you're concluding that this proves that obama's cult has committed no crime.

Your 'cult' gibberish is your personal opinion, citing yourself. Your assumption of guilt is your personal opinion, citing yourself. Your opinion is a subjective standard. Objectively speaking, neither Obama nor anyone in his administration has been convicted of any crime. You can't get around that.

Your subjective opinion of Obama's guilt vs. the objective fact that he's never been convicted of anything has the same winner every time: Objectivity.

As we don't convict anyone of any crime based on your personal opinion. And that's all you have.

In January, the D.C. Circuit held the NLRB appointments to be unconstitutional, which ruling White House spokesman Jay Carney said only applied to “one court, one case, one company.”

I was not aware of this.

Is this like saying Roe vs. Wade only applied to Roe ?

I would suspect Carney was implying that it was subject to appeal.

Liberals own the school system.....all you need to know about these dolts is that they name schools after folks like..

"....towering progressive figures?"

So....that proves.....what?

That when they go to Barack Obama HS< they are going to hear that Obama was the first black President and he created universal health care and ended the Iraq War.

All of which is actually going to sound pretty awesome.

Or maybe you can get them into a school where they teach about talking snakes in Science Class.

Which of the following will the Liberals tell them about?


The Obama Economic Hit-Parade!


1.More than 6.7 million more Americans have been plunged into poverty since Obama became President.

2.Real household income is down 5%

3. Consumer prices are up 10.2%


4. When Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08. Since then, it has increased $7,514,567,086,650.22--which is $65,443 per household, $70,985 per full-time worker and $84,266 per full-time private-sector worker. Under Obama: Federal Debt Up $84,266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker

5. (CNSNews.com) - The federal government drove $789,473,350,613.20 deeper into debt in calendar year 2014, an increase that equaled $6,875 per household, $7,458 per full-time year-round worker, and $8,853 per full-time year-round private-sector worker. According tothe Treasury, the debt started calendar year 2014 at $17,351,970,784,950.10 and ended it at $18,141,444,135,563.30. Under Obama: Federal Debt Up $84,266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker

6. Food stamp recipients up 49%


7. Debt held by the public is up 89%


However, the Obama administrationrecently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.

As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.

The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.

The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.


8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.
