Politics and Insights from History

Fair Trial? Innocent until proven guilty? Equality before the law? Not anymore.

Yesterday George Zimmerman was arrested on charges of second degree murder. Is anyone surprised? You shouldn’t be. This whole affair was only going to end one way, especially since the White House choose to get involved. From the moment Zimmerman pulled that trigger his life was forever changed. Not because he inadvertently killed someone, but because our government is using him to make an example of what happens when a non-black kills someone who is black.

Before all the facts had been released about the incident, the media immediately painted Zimmerman as a racist, bigot, angry, cold-hearted, white man. They pushed the notion that he hunted Trayvon Martin down like a dog and killed him simply because the kid was black. They imprinted in the minds of the people that Zimmerman was guilty of cold-blooded murder. They did all this within the first twenty-four hours.

Then President Obama decided to get involved in an incident that wasn’t any of his business and demand justice for Trayvon’s death. Eric Holder threatened to investigate the police department in Sanford, FL if they didn’t charge the man. They are currently investigating the department as of right now, but the media is not reporting this.

Trayvon was presented as an innocent victim with countless photos of him at age 12. His real age was 17. Members of Congress accused Zimmerman of racially profiling the kid because he was black and in a hoodie, even though there is no evidence of this. NBC edited the tape of the 911 call from Zimmerman to prove that he hunted Trayvon down for being black.

Then this past week three things happened in quick succession, which is anything but coincidence. First, Zimmerman’s two lawyers quit the case. They claimed it was because they couldn’t get a hold of the guy, but somehow they had the address of where he was staying. The next day, Zimmerman is arrested on charges of second-degree murder by the same prosecutor who told the press a week earlier that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to charge him. Today the prosecuting attorney suddenly had an affidavit to show as proof that she had sufficient cause to make the arrest.

After six weeks of evidence coming forward that backed up Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense and suddenly new evidence comes forward proving his guilt and he’s arrested. Who cares that eyewitnesses said Trayvon was beating Zimmerman? Who cares that the paramedics testified that Zimmerman had suffered injuries that backed up his claims? Who cares that for six weeks the police said there just wasn’t any evidence to justify an arrest? Who cares that evidence came forward proving that Trayvon was not some sweet and innocent kid, but someone with a record of being a trouble maker and therefore capable of starting a fight?

This entire affair is disgusting and not because someone was killed. Obama is exploiting this to its full capacity to keep the public distracted from the election and his failed policies. Spike Lee, who is racist against whites, tweeted the address of an old couple claiming that it was Zimmerman’s. That couple has received threats and harassment ever since. The New Black Panther Party, a group full of angry blacks who want the blood of whites, put a price on Zimmerman’s head calling for his death. Many within the black community have threatened to riot if Zimmerman isn’t punished. Al Sharpton is using this further himself. He always was an arrogant jerk who craved fame and fortune. The media tried and convicted Zimmerman in the court of public opinion. Because of the ridiculousness of this whole affair, there have been increased attacks on whites by blacks. And do think Obama is going to give the families of those people personal phone calls?

Sometime in the next few months there will be a trial, assuming Zimmerman doesn’t do a plea bargain. This is not going to be a fair trial by any means. This trial is for show. Considering that way the media and Obama turned this into a national nightmare with their hype, the jury will not be impartial. The outcome of this trial has been decided. Zimmerman will be convicted. Everything points to that. Now, he can appeal his case, but that is assuming he lives long enough to make it to an appeal. If he is sent to prison he’ll be killed. Even if here were found not guilty and set free, he’ll be shot on the street. Too many people are thirsting for blood.

If Zimmerman is declared “Not Guilty”, there will be rioting in the streets. Remember the L.A. riots of 1992? This will be a lot worse because it will be across the country. The majority of the black community is full of angry people looking for any excuse to act out. And they are watching this thing waiting for the right time to lash out.

Now, what is the real point of this affair. It’s not the fact that some kid died. It isn’t the fact that Zimmerman will have to own up to his actions. The point of this is that there is no such thing as justice anymore in this country; at least not if you white, or even remotely white. (Zimmerman is actually of Hispanic origin, but that doesn’t matter to those who want him dead. As far as a lot of blacks are concerned, if you’re not black you’re fair game.)

Whites are being discriminated against and no one cares. There is a lot of black on white violence, but it goes unreported since it doesn’t follow the progressives’ politically correct viewpoint. Congress is considering a hate crimes legislation that will basically make it illegal to be white. There are several problems with this law. 1. It violates the First Amendment by taking away an individual’s right to freedom of speech. 2. It is vaguely written and therefore can be interpreted in a variety of ways. 3. It will be over a thousand pages of legalese that neither Congress nor the President will bother to read. 4. In a politically correct country where whites are viewed as villains and blacks are always treated as victims, a large amount of whites, or non-blacks in general, will find themselves charged with a hate crime. 5. If you are not black and you say or do anything against a black person it will be considered a hate crime. 6. The entire law is unconstitutional. 7. The law itself is racist and puts one group of people against another on the basis of race. Later religion will be added to that where Muslims get away with everything and Christians are charged with hate crimes.

Some of you reading this may think I am overreacting. But am I? Obama has been pushing Hate Crimes legislation for over three years. For decades there has been growing hatred and resentment towards white people, or anyone who is light-skinned. Think about it, the national media is bending over backwards to ensure justice for the death of a black kid in Florida. But they remained strangely silent when a white couple was brutally raped and murdered by a gang of blacks.

The incident happened in Knocksville, TN in 2007. A gang of five blacks carjacked a young white couple. Here is the account of what happened:

Christopher Newsom, 23, was tied up and raped, shot in the back of the head and then dragged to a railway track and set on fire.

His girlfriend, 21-year-old University of Tennessee student Channon Christian’s fate was even more horrific.

Her death came only after hours of torture, during which time she was raped and savaged with a broken chair leg.

She was beaten in the head and a household bleach was poured down her throat and over her bleeding and battered genital area in an attempt by her attackers to cover any evidence of rape – all while she was still alive.

Then she was ‘hog-tied’ with curtains and a strip of bedding and a plastic bag was wrapped over her face.

Her body was stashed inside five bigger rubbish liners and dumped in a bin, where, according to the autopsy report, she slowly suffocated to death.

You can read the rest of the article here.

Where were the cries from the media calling for Justice? Where was anyone? On their couch watching American Idol because the incident wasn’t considered that important.

Last year two British students vacationed in Florida and were murdered by a black teen because they were white. The media never reported it, except for on the local level. Barack Obama never called their parents with a personal apology. Just like in the previous incident, the very ones demanding justice for Trayvon Martin did not care about the brutal murder of a bunch of white people.

The murder of these four people were not only more brutal than Trayvon’s, but were based solely on race. There is no evidence suggesting Trayvon was targeted because of his skin color. Read the article here.

So why the different treatment? Politics and bias on the left. Obama will never openly condemn black on white violence because he is racist against whites and it isn’t politically expedient to accuse blacks of racism. The media will never cover black on white violence for the same reasons.

Get prepared for a wild ride this summer. When Zimmerman goes on trial people’s emotions will be flying. The threat of riots taking place across the country is there. And once again whites will be demonized as racist bigots. And justice will not be served.

The truly sad thing about this, is it shows exactly what has become of us as a country. It demonstrates a huge portion of what is wrong with America.

Dear Mr. President,

What were you thinking when you made that public speech about Trayvon Martin’s parents? Or were you thinking? All you did was take something that was a local matter of a shooting and turn it in to a national mess and stir up old hatreds.

Now Congress had a hearing about hate crimes in this country. Of course, they are only concerned about crimes of hatred against blacks and maybe Hispanics, but do not concern themselves with the fact that whites also suffer from discrimination. This is ludicrous! With all of the things happening in the world (riots in Europe, a continued failing economy, Islamic takeover of the Middle East, Iran having nukes, etc.) you and Congress are concerned about the death of a black kid in Florida. How many more degrees of stupid can you get?

People are killed every day in this country. It’s unfortunate, but it happens. Trayvon’s death, though unfortunate, is just one among many. So why does his family get the personal attention from you? Not long before Trayvon Martin was killed, two white tourists from England were murdered in cold blood by a black teenager. The murderer admitted his guilt and that he killed them because they were white.

Where was your apology to their parents? Where are the demands for justice? Why weren’t their parents called before Congress to discuss hatred against whites? Where are the demonstrations outside the murder’s family’s house? Where is the outrage? It doesn’t exist. Why? Because the victims were white.

You, Mr. President, are a racist and a leech that feeds of hatred and civil unrest. The real reason you made your public outcry about Trayvon Martin’s death is because he was black and this was your chance to promote black power. The other reason is the fact that this is an election year and your job is up for grabs. You cannot run on your record, so you cause national outrage over a local Florida matter to cause a distraction.

If this thing get even more out of hand, you, Mr. President, will be responsible for the death of innocent people. There are people calling for blood. And not just the blood of George Zimmerman, but the blood of white in general. There could be riots across the country similar to the L.A> riots of 1992. All this is happening because many within the country, especially within the black community, have taken your words as a call for action.

Of course, there is still time for you to calm things down. But, Mr. Obama, we all know that you will not. You love the unrest and the anger that is building. That is how you gat election in 2008 and that is how you will achieve victory in 2012.

You have failed to unite Americans. Instead, you have succeeded in dividing us as people stupidly fall for your games.

Sincerely,

Today I finally watched the movie Atlas Shrugged. It is the first part in a three part movie series based upon the book Atlas Shrugged. The movie itself is very entertaining, engaging and thought provoking regardless of your political leanings. Now, I have never read the novel, but the movie itself parallels many of the economic struggles that we are having today. The movie begins in 2016, the United States in in a deep recession and many are calling it another Great Depression. Unemployment is 24% and gas cost about $42 a gallon. The heroine of the story, Dagny, decides to go out on her own and build a railroad using a new type of steel that is stronger, more durable, and better able to handle high speed trains. She, with the help of the guy who owns the rights to this commodity, complete the project and test it successfully. Dagny does all this to solve the problem of transporting oil from Colorado the other parts of the country efficiently so as to reduce the price of oil and gas. In short, she saw a problem and she figured out a way to solve it without the help of government.

Naturally along the way she runs into one obstacle after another by government bureaucrats and union leaders. Each group claim they want to solve the economic crisis, but then turn on her when she finds a way to do it. Instead, they shut down successful corporations forcing them to break up because “it’s not right they one corporation expands while others are forced to go under”. The politicians use a government funded research facility to claim that the steel used in the construction of the railroad is faulty which causes the head of the union to tell Dagny that she cannot order someone to test drive a train on a dangerous railroad because it violates their human rights. After the success of her project is proven, the Economic Management Board passes a moratorium effectively shutting down her railroad and her company. The government also passes a federal tax to be imposed on the state of Colorado because it is the only state in the union thriving economically. This is all done in the name of social justice and economic fairness. This is where the movie ends and now we wait for part two which is to be released in the fall of 2012.

While I watched this movie, I could not help but notice similarities between it and todays current economic and political climate. We have a bloated government that cares more about handing out welfare checks and buying votes than actually helping the country. We have a president who surrounds himself with far left ideologues. He constantly promotes “fairness”, social justice, and income equality. Almost every speech Obama gives he trashes the wealthy who produce jobs and promotes higher taxes on them so as to “spread the wealth” around.

Some of you may think that a society, like what exists in Atlas Shrugged, could never happen here. It is happening. For the past 80 years or more the federal government has grown in size well beyond the constraints of the Constitution. We are less free today than we were fifty years ago. The federal government controls almost every aspect of our lives and continues to seek more power. We now live in a society that produces people, such as the “Occupy Wall Street”, who want to take the fuits of other people’s labor all in the name of “equality” and “fairness”. There is nothing fair or equal about stealing someone else’s hard earned achievements.

If you believe that Atlas Shrugged is just right-wing nonsense and could never happen, then take a look at the world around you. We now live in a country that:

· Has $4 a gallon gas that will likely reach $5 a gallon before the end of the year.

· Has a president who unilaterally decided to decline the construction of the Keystone Pipeline that would have brought Americans oil and reduced energy costs.

· Has a government that has sunk billions of dollars in “Green Energy”, and has little to no return on it. Remember Solyndra?

· The government owns the health care system. When Obamacare passed your health care became government property. Now all individuals must purchase health insurance from pre-approved plans. All individuals will be required to go to an advisory board to discuss their health options. Every Senior Citizen will be required to attend “end of life counseling”.

· We have an economy that continues to stagnant and grow worse despite all of the stimulus funds that the federal government pumped into the economy. Though most of that money went to pet projects of politicians.

· An entire valley in California has been forced into poverty because of a government mandate. In the effort to protect a fish, farmers in California have been denied the right to farm their own land. Not only was most the food produced here shipped across the country, but now these people are out of work in an already bad economy. Look at the produce in the store. Most of it is imported because our government won’t allow American farmers to farm. Even if you are allowed to be a commercial farmer, the federal government still dictates what and how much you can produce.

· We have a 15 trillion dollar deficit that is dangerously close to 16 trillion. The deficit was 14 trillion when Barack Obama was inaugurated. That means in three years he raised it by 1 trillion. Not even George Bush did that.

· Government spending as a portion of GDP has increased. It now makes up about 26%.

· Even though Obamacare has only partially been implemented, its cost has gone up by 11 billion dollars from last year’s estimates. And that number is project to increase even more. Also, many are leaving the medical profession so that they do not have to deal with the new mandates.

· The value of the dollar continues to fall.

· The federal government now owns General Motors. The president fired GM’s CEO in 2009 and appointed his own. He also gave the United Auto Workers Union a large amount of concessions concerning the reorganization of GM. When the feds took over GM, many successful dealerships were forced out of business. Obama used this as an opportunity to complete a pet project of his: forcing Americans to buy electric cars. The car was going to be the Chevy Volt, which has been put on hold because it is not cost effective and nobody wants it.

· Many businesses are closing their manufacturing plants in the United States and moving to countries like China and Indonesia.

· The cost of living continues to rise while people’s paychecks shrink.

· Private industry has shrunk drastically in the last three years.

· If you invent a valuable piece of technology that can revolutionize the world, the government can take it away from you. They will either do it legally, or find other means of shutting you down.

· Barack Obama himself has said that “I do think that at some point you’ve made enough money.” Soon after this statement Congress passed the financial overhaul bill of 2010 which allows the federal government control over financial institutions. It imposed new regulations on credit card companies which has hurt consumers more than help them.

· The IRS can delete funds from your bank account if they believe you owe back taxes, and they do not have to tell you about it.

· The government can use “eminent domain” to take your property away from you. Sometimes, bureaucratic agencies such as the EPA prevent people from living on their own property. If the EPA declare your land a swamp, for example, then you no longer have rights to that land, though you will still pay taxes on it.

· Hollywood culture and much of the media are progressives and promote the progressive ideology, thus aiding the government in lying to the people.

· Many in the government want to re institute the “Fairness Doctrine” so as to silence critics, especially conservatives.

· About half of the U.S. population live on welfare. The number of people receiving food stamps has increased from 28.2 million people per month in 2008 to 46.2 million as of October 2011.

Are you getting the picture? We resemble George Orwell’s 1984 or Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World more than the United States of America. We are not a capitalistic society anymore. Our economy resemble socialism more than anything else. It is what some would call “soft socialism”, but it is socialism none the less. We just do not recognize because many of us today grew up in a country full of rules and regulations.

We are living in the world of Atlas Shrugged. In the movie, and the book, this question is often asked: Who is John Galt? John Galt in the individual who wishes to be free from government constraints and just wants to live their life as they see fit.

But here is a question we should ask ourselves: Where is America?

America was once a free and capitalistic society, but we have lost much of that to government intrusion and the promise of security and fairness. The dream that was America is practically gone. It is being replaced by control freaks and altruistic do-gooders in Washington and academia. It has been replaced by a public that recklessly gave up their liberty for the false promises of security.

So I ask you, where is America? What happened to her?

Unemployment is down according to the media, so we should all rejoice and praise Obama.  But what is there to be overjoyed about?  The rate is only down by a miniscule amount and unemployment still hangs around the 8% line.  These unemployment numbers released by the government should always be taken with a grain of salt.

For the past three years the federal government has not been honest about the unemployment rate.  When it was around 9% according to them, it was probably closer to 11% or 12%.  But Barack Obama and the Democrats needed us to believe that his stimulus package was working, when it truth it has crippled the economy causing it to stagnant.

The government only counts people who are recently unemployed.  They stopped counting those who have been out of work for over six months, have given up looking for a job, and the amount of people forced to take part time jobs instead of full time work.  There are also a lot of people who manage to find temporary work.  But when it is over, they are back in the unemployment line.  However, you won’t find them included in the latest unemployment statistic.

Even if unemployment is around 8%, give or take a few percentage points, it is still an abysmal number.  The government claims that there were 240,000 jobs created last month.  What they fail to mention is that in prior months we have probably lost three times that amount and that doesn’t include 2009 or 2010 job losses.  The other thing the unemployment rate does not tell you is the rise in the cost of living.  Even if the amount of people out of work has decreased, most have settled for low wage or part time work, when they used to have high paying, full time jobs.  Add that to the increase in the cost of living.  If you’ve bought gas lately, or groceries, you have probably noticed that prices have increased.  In many places gas is around $4 a gallon and milk is close to $4 a gallon.  Produce prices have gone up as well as the price of bread and eggs.  Add this all together, Americans are not better off now than they were three years ago.  But the Democrats and Obama want you to believe differently.

This is an election, so politicians will do anything to get elected, especially incumbents.  Obama loves the perks of being he president.  He won’t give that up.  You can bet that he will tout the latest unemployment numbers as proof that his policies are working.  Under Obama unemployment has reached and remains close to double digits, the economy has stagnated, consumers are spending less meaning they have little confidence in the economy, and the deficit has increased by $4 trillion dollars.  What does it matter if unemployment goes down when the government spends money like water?

In truth, the economy is not on the road to recovery.  People have little confidence in it and in their leaders.  Prices on basic consumer goods continue to rise while the number of full-time well-paying jobs decrease  Obama and the Democrats want us to settle with what we have, instead of striving to achieve better results.

Yesterday, Barack Obama once again delivered a speech. This time he was in Kansas; something that he almost forgot. Perhaps if Obama stayed in one place he might remember where he is. Yesterday, was December 7, Pearl Harbor Day. Instead of talking about it and commemorating those who died that day, he had to give a speech about how the wealthy don’t pay enough, America is unfair, and how only he knows best.

The bulk of Obama’s speech was basically chastising the rich for being rich. He claims that he wants to build the shrinking middle class. Except, the middle class is shrinking because the government keeps enacting policies that increase the cost of living and force businesses to cut costs by firing people.

Obama slammed Republicans and Conservatives who believe in Reagan’s trickle down economics theory, and who believe in cutting taxes for everyone who actually pay taxes and in cutting government regulations that hinder economic growth and development. Obama claims that Republicans have no ideas and only hold to what doesn’t work. If Reagan’s tax cuts and deregulation did not work, then why were 1980s a decade of economic growth, a prosperity that continued through most of the 1990’s despite Bill Clinton’s increase in taxes and regulation? Obama claims that the Bush tax cuts led to the recession we are in now. If that is so, then how come unemployment under bus remained under 6% until the last few months of his presidency when the housing market collapsed? Meanwhile, Obama’s policies made unemployment shoot up to 10% and the economy is now stagnated with a 9.1% unemployment. But according to Obama his not so new socialist ideas are working.

Obama rants that Republicans have no new ideas. But He and his fellow Democrats have no new ideas either. IN fact, everything they do is just a throwback to F.D>R.’s New Deal programs. Neither side has new ideas and it doesn’t matter if they do or not. What is important is if they have good ideas that actually work.

Almost every other paragraph in Obama’s speech yesterday was him whining how the wealthy don’t pay their fair share. What is fair about 50% of Americans who pay no taxes but receive government welfare from those that actually pay taxes? That’s fair? Taking money from someone and giving it to someone else to fulfill your ideological sense of fairness is fair? Obama claims that a billionaire only pays 1% of his income in taxes while someone earning 50 grand a year pays more. Let’s do the math? Say a person who earns $1 billion annually pays 1% in taxes. That equal $10 million that goes to Uncle Sam. Now take the guy who earns $50 thousand and pays 38% of his income in taxes. That amounts to $19,000 that goes to Uncle Sam. Despite the differences in the tax rate, who still pays more to the government? If this still seems unfair to some of you, why not get rid of the current tax code that even the IRS cannot make sense of and institute a flat tax, where everyone, regardless of their income level, pays the same tax rate. Let’s say the billionaire in the example above still pays 1% of his income in taxes, but now the guy earning $50,000 also pays only 1%. This means that the he will only pay $500 of his annual earnings to the government.

Interestingly, Obama is pushing an extension of the payroll tax cut. But just a few months ago he proposed increasing taxes. Also, he is pushing the extension of a tax cut, while in the same speech he claims that tax cuts led to the “greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression”.

Another thing Obama falsely claims is regarding the 1920s. Obama claims that deregulation and tax cuts led the disaster of the 1920s. The 1920 were the most prosperous decade in our history because we had presidents who deregulated and cut taxes and then minded their own business. Remember Calvin Coolidge? The reason why the stock market crashed in 1929 was because under President Hoover, the government began meddling in the economy again. Then Obama praised F.D.R. whose polices kept us in the depression. His New Deal programs were so great that while the rest of the world recovered economically the U.S. continued to have double digit unemployment and a stagnant economy.

Obama’s speech was the same speech he’s been giving since he was elected. Basically, according to Obama America is unfair, capitalism doesn’t work, the wealthy are too wealthy and could do with less, the poor just need a government program to make it, and, well, the world’s just not fair. This coming from a guy who is going to spend 17 days in Hawaii for his Christmas vacation. Isn’t this something those wealthy CEOs do?

Once again the liberal media is dictating who will be the GOP Presidential Nominee to ensure that Obama wins. It is obvious that they love Mitt Romney. But since people like Herman Cain and Michelle Bachman proved to be threats to them and the chances of Barack Obama winning re-election, they are trashing them.

Over the weekend Hermain Cain announced that he is no longer seeking the presidential nomination. Because he has chosen not to run anymore, the media has so far won. With all of the baseless accusations of harassment they succeeded in getting rid of Cain. Next they will probably do everything in their power to get Michelle Bachman to cease her bid for the GOP nomination and then they will move on to either Rick Perry or Newt Gingrich.

The media are doing now what they did in 2008. In 2008 they did everything in their power to make certain that John McCain was the GOP nominee. They succeeded. Now they are doing it again by trying to get Romney as the GOP nominee. Why? Because they got away with before so they think they can do it again. Also, the left know that Obama cannot win against a real conservative. That is why they are trying to get rid of the candidates that they view as a threat. Herman Cain was on such threat. Now that he is gone, the left will feel emboldened and will increase their attacks on Bachman and Perry.

Don’t let the left wing media do it again. We do not need another 2008.

The media ripped the Tea Party apart, yet praise Occupy Wall Street.  Of course, no one within the mainstream media will admit that this is so.  They love the protesters on Wall Street, and the sister protests around the country.  Why?  Because these people are socialist radicals that love big government solutions and hate individual initiative.  The protesters hate Capitalism.  They hate conservatives.  They hate success when it is someone other than them that is successful.  They hate Fox News.  They hate rich people, unless it is them that are rich.  They hate Jews.  They basically hate everything but themselves.

They people here are here out of pure jealousy and hatred of those who have more than them. One thing that media refuses to report is the violence at some of these protests and the amount of racism. It is everywhere. Protesters have shouted, “The Jews control Wall street” or “Leave you filthy Jew”. Hundreds of people have been arrested for disturbing the peace. Businesses have been forced to close or cut their hours because the Wall Street protesters are preventing them from receiving customers. Other businesses have been forced to repair their bathrooms because of vandalism by protesters.

Where are the reports on this. Instead of reporting the destruction of property, the people standing around naked, the harmful impact on businesses (many of which are small) and the hatred spewing from these people, instead you get glowing reports. Or reports like these that make the police look bad simply for doing their job.

To the media these protesters are just frustrated at a system that let them down. They are peaceful with people of all ages.

Compare all this to the way the Tea Party was portrayed. There were no reports of businesses being harmed or vandalized, of naked people, violence, or arrests, when the Tea Party held their protest. The media cried racism and bigotry, but could not find any proof of it. They called the Tea Partyers extremists even terrorists. The liberal media harassed Tea Party members as a way of “proving” how racist they were.

The liberal media hates the Tea Party movement because it is against big government solutions. The Tea Party believes in a limited government. When it comes to the two movements think about this: which movement has turned violent and had several arrests made? Which movement has taken over public property turning it into a slum with their tents? Which movement gathered for a day and left, leaving the area clean and neat? During which gathering were the people dressed neatly?

What is wrong with our Justice department?  They sued Arizona over their immigration law.  Then they sued Alabama.  Now they are suing South Carolina over their immigration law.  Does anyone else think there is something shady about this?  The federal government has no right to file a lawsuit toward individual states.  The Obama Administration is is using the courts to force the states in line.  Another sign of their corruption.

Here is something they never consider: if the federal government enforced current immigration laws, individual states would not be implementing their own.  There is a huge immigration problem in this country with illegals being able to stay here for decades without fear of punishment.

President Obama loves his executive orders.  Like most presidents, once in office he has used that power to get what he wants.  But, unlike a lot of presidents, Obama has been using to get everything he wants even when Congress turns him down, thus abusing the privilege of executive orders.  Just this past week, Obama has made 5 executive orders to get portions of his Jobs Bill through because Congress has yet to even debate it, and many republicans in the House flat out said they will not vote for it.  Last week He has issued an executive order to:

1. Force the government to help people with home mortgages that they are unable to pay.

2. Allow callege grads to lower their student loan payments.

3. Limit the time between government research and when a product is available on the market.

4.  Allow FDA to eliminate drug shortages by forcing drug companies to produce drugs even if they can’t afford to.

5. To encourage that 8,000 veteran’s be hired at community health centers.

Under Barack Obama, Congress has increasingly become obsolete.  When he doesn’t get what he wants, he issues an executive order; or gets a bureaucratic body to give him what he wants.  He used executive orders to get portions of the Dream Act through because it stalled in Congress.  He used the FCC to get his Net Neutrality because both Congress and the Supreme Court said that the bill was unconstitutional.

Obama is your typical tyrant.  If he doesn’t get what he wants, then he throws a fit and uses the power of he office to achieve his goals.  This is not the consent of will of the people, but instead is the will of one man.  Congress is the legislative body in this country and they are charged with representing the people.  Now, true, they have not done a good job, since many within Congress only care for themselves.  However, it is still their job to decide what legislation will be passed and put on the president’s desk for a signature.  It is not the president’s job to dictate what laws will be enacted and what laws will be ignored.

But Obama and the liberals do not care about the process of law in this country.  They want what they want and will achieve it by any means necessary.  Obama wants his socialist dream and if Congress won’t go along with it, then he will just issue and executive order to achieve it.  This is an abuse of power.  It also demonstrates that he cannot be trusted with power.  And at this rate, who knows if we will have a country left once Obama is through implementing his policies.
