This topic will be in a few parts because there is too much to cover in one document. I didn’t actually want to start this article by pointing out the hypocrisy of the left and the complicit media, but it is the obvious thing to do. Illegal actions are being ignored and the events of the last three years have led me to chronicle the most obvious, but also the most under-reported illegalities perpetrated by Barack Obama and this entire administration. They continually say one thing publically, and then do the opposite. The media shamelessly either ignores these incidents, or buries them deep inside a newspaper which no one reads anymore anyway. The worst part of it is that Jersey Shore and American Idol get more attention than a presidential debate which shows me that nobody really cares anymore. Well, I care.
During the eight years that George W. Bush was president, barely a day went by without hearing claims of illegal wars or wiretapping or calls for impeachment. I will attempt in my marginally convincing way to describe how President Obama has not only broken the law, but has gone against his sworn oath and weakened this country financially, politically, morally, and militarily.
Let’s set the stage with this. As specified in Article Two, Section One, Clause Eight of the Constitution, the Presidential Oath reads:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Our Constitution guaranties the individual liberty, economic liberty, individual responsibility, property rights, freedom of travels and communications, commerce, and the right to keep and bear arms as the ultimate guaranty of all of our rights. Not to mention free speech among other rights that our founders put forth in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The “Rights of the States” are clearly defined by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and they should never be infringed upon or violated by the Federal Government, however, we have an administration that sues states for trying to protect their borders when the Federal Government won’t, and an administration that tells states, specifically South Carolina what private companies can and cannot work there.
For example, this administration had no right to tell Boeing, a private company that they could not build a plant in South Carolina. Because it is a right-to-work state, which means that people do not have to belong to unions to work there, President Obama threatened to sue South Carolina. This un-constitutional act used specifically to pander to the unions in order to garner votes is a direct violation of a state’s rights, and made by a president who is not business-friendly. In a state where unemployment is over 10%, these jobs are welcomed. Stay out of it Mr. President; it’s none of your business!
The Federal Government under Obama has also sued several states for passing immigration laws which include the requirement that police officers check the immigration status of people pulled over for speeding if officers also suspect they are in the country illegally. Arizona, South Carolina, and other states are watching the federal government look the other way when it comes to illegal immigration, and as stated in the Constitution have exercised their state’s rights and have voted to enforce these laws. Why is it that if I am pulled over for speeding, I am asked for my driver’s license which is fine for me as an American citizen, but not fine for someone in this country illegally? This is a matter of national security, and for a president to order his Attorney General to sue a state for protecting its citizens is completely egregious. Can someone explain this logic to me?
The Justice Department under the corrupt leadership of Eric Holder also blocked several states’ new voter ID laws from going into effect. Nikki Haley, Republican Governor of South Carolina who is exercising her state’s rights has described the decision to block the voter ID law as part of “the continued war on South Carolina” and has vowed to fight the federal government in court over the issue. Her state is among at least a half-dozen that passed similar laws last year. Holder has said his department is committed to fighting laws that create “barriers to voting.”
My question to Mr. Holder is this; why am I required to present a valid ID when purchasing a cold medication, but someone is not when casting their vote? He claims that minorities, specifically African Americans are being disenfranchised because some of them do not have valid identification. Well, why the heck don’t they have ID? You need a valid ID to drive, buy alcohol, cash a check, apply for Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, work, and a hundred other things that people do every day.
So where are these “barriers to voting?” Do you know how easy it is to get a valid State ID in Georgia which would allow you to vote? It’s FREE for 10 years and all you need is a utility bill. Here’s the site that explains this Mr. Holder. http://www.dds.ga.gov/drivers/dldata.aspx?con=1749371755&ty=dl
I contend that if you are unable to obtain a state ID, then you are either too stupid or too lazy to vote. If I were the Governor of a state, I’d fight for this also. How can anyone disagree with this?
Interfering with state’s rights goes directly against the Constitution. Does this mean that the President should be arrested? Not particularly, but I have used these illustrations as a backdrop for Part Two of this article which will include the highly illegal activities of Fast & Furious, Solyndra, the Keystone Pipeline, running up the debt to over $15 Trillion, and using that as an excuse to gut our military and make us more vulnerable while citing budget cuts as a reason. We spend trillions on ridiculous earmarks that could be cut rather than sacrificing the safety of our citizens, but Obama chose to cut our military spending to dangerous levels. Not to sound conspiratorial, but if we are flat broke and have a sub-standard military, could this be part of a master plan to destroy this country from the inside? Obama promised to fundamentally transform this country, and he’s doing just that. We cannot continue on this present course of leading the United States of America to economic, financial, social, moral and military collapse.
Stay tuned for Part Two of how Barack Hussein Obama has used illegal tactics to further his dangerous agenda.
