Mr. President, you have the right to remain silent… Part One

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.

Update Poll on Conservative Thinkers

Well, we’re down to four candidates for the Republican nominee. I’ve created a new poll based on these four, and they are listed in alphabetical order, not by any preference. You may only vote once, unlike the ACORN rules, and once you vote, you will be able to see the results. This is highly unscientific, but we’ll see who ConservativeThinker readers like.

I will continue to update the poll the closer we get to the nominee, and eventually I will have a Nominee/Obama race listed. The Polls Are Open!

The Poll is on the right side (where else?) of this page >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Book Review – Corridor by Robin Parrish

Posted by in Uncategorized

I’ve never done a book review on this site, primarily because it is political in nature, but I felt compelled to review a book I just read by an author I know named Robin Parrish. I have read all of Parrish’s other books except one, and I was definitely not disappointed by this one. Corridor (A MythWorks Novel) by publisher StoneHouse Ink is written in typical Parrish fashion; it reads like you are watching a movie, but it is anything but typical. It combines the mercurial pace of a sci-fi thriller with the daunting quality of a mystery novel, where I found myself rooting for the main character and his unseen female guide.

Troy is a geeky teenager who finds himself in a strange place called The Corridor. Now, if you’re expecting some spoilers, you might want to stop reading right now. It wouldn’t matter anyway because the answers to Troy’s journey need to unfold step-by-step, as his is an iterative trek through a strange world of perseverance and the conquering of his own fears. Equally compelling is a character that we never see, but she can see what Troy is doing. Victoria is an unlikely guide to his expedition of the unknown who must find her own answers as she helps Troy unravel the secrets that lie before him. Corridor is a seemingly never-ending quest that will have you turning pages until the revealing end to this gripping story.

Corridor is available at Amazon only as an ebook for only $2.99. I downloaded it to my Kindle app and enjoyed every minute of it. When you’re done with Corridor, I also highly recommend Robin Parrish’s other books, Relentless, Fearless, and Merciless, also known as The Dominion Trilogy. I also loved Offworld and Vigilante (I really hope this one turns into a series). It’s hard to say which is my favorite, but I will tell you, I’m ready for the next Parrish book.

You can find Corridor HERE.

Unfortunately, No He Cain’t

I like Herman Cain; I really do. I like that he started from nothing and took a ‘no excuses’ approach to his life, worked his way up through education and sound business acumen, and made something of himself. He is a brilliant businessman and has had more successes than most people will ever know.

I don’t know if any of the allegations of sexual misconduct are true or not, nobody really does; only Cain, these women, and God know. If solid evidence comes out and these accusations turn out to be true, then he must make the decision not to run. At this writing, he is considering it. If they turn out to be false, then the entire process of people running for public office is fatally flawed. We live in an instant information society where every skeleton in everyone’s closet is exposed at some time or another. Personally, I would not be able to run for president because I have skeletons in my closet, albeit pretty lame skeletons. Who doesn’t after all? How about you? Mine became skeletons because they were bored to death and rotted away.  (And just a side note…if anyone knows any of my skeletons, let’s just keep them between us, OK?)

I think it’s probably a good time to mention that Mr. Obama has so many skeletons in his closet that you can’t even close the door. Unfortunately, the media chose to not investigate any of them. His buddies are in prison, terrorists, money launderers, gangsters, crooked pastors, even crookeder (I like the word, don’t email me about it) union bosses, etc., etc., etc. The Washington Post hired extra people to go through every one of Sarah Palin’s emails, they spent more time on Herman Cain than they ever did on Obama, and now they are actively hiring bloggers to dig up dirt on Newt Gingrich. Is this what we’ve become as a country? What ever happened to substantive issues?

We have serious economic problems, escalating wars, secretive Federal Reserve issues, racial tension, high unemployment, skyrocketing entitlement, and the list goes on. So what is the media focused on? Digging up dirt on the Republican candidates. Not on the president who is AWOL on the economy, but on the people who truly want to instill real change in Washington.

So here’s the bottom line, and I will make Republicans mad when I say this, but I tell it like it is. Don’t read this blog if you don’t want the truth. Cain is through. Finished as a candidate, whether the allegations are true or not. Stick a fork in him, he’s done. Santorum, Bachmann, Paul, and Huntsman don’t have a chance. The Republican field is down to Romney and Gingrich unless someone comes in at this late stage of the game. Romney was a liberal before he was against being liberal. He is the flip-flopper of the year, but still the media darling because he has presidential hair. Gingrich is a career politician, on his third wife because he had affairs with two of them before leaving them for his new wives. And no, he really didn’t serve his second wife divorce papers when she was on her death bed. Look it up. She’s still alive, but those rumors still persist as if thy were true. Newt’s poll numbers are rising, and I predict that they will go even higher after Cain drops out of the race. He has proven himself to be a brilliant debater full of ideas, and clearly the smartest guy in the running. Is he perfect? Far from it, and he wasn’t my first choice, but here we are and decisions have to be made. So here’s my question; between Romney and Gingrich, who do you think the media will try to destroy? Mr. Nice Hair or Mr. Three Wives? My challenge to you is this; Do NOT let the media pick our candidate for us. They did that with McCain and look what happened. If the media destroys Newt as I predict they will, the Republican nominee will be Willard (Mitt) Romney. And as Herman said when he started his campaign, “How’s that workin’ out for ya?”

I wish I had this picture when I wrote My Thoughts on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11. It conveys the feeling we all have in our hearts. “A hole that will never be filled.” God Bless the ones who perished that day, and God Bless America.

Happy Birthday to The United States Constitution

Posted by in Uncategorized

This post is dedicated to We The People, especially the people who put together one of the most important documents ever to be written in the history of humankind. The Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and ratified by conventions in each U.S. state in the name of “The People”. It has been amended twenty-seven times; the first ten amendments are known as the Bill of Rights.

With that little bit of information, you now know more about the founding of this country than most Americans.

One of my favorite parts of the Constitution is The First Amendment which says:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What this means is that any ordinary guy like me can write what I want and face no consequences for my actions. There are the obvious limitations, but this is what allows me to do what I do here, and it gives you the right to disagree with me. That’s freedom my friends, and that’s what is great about the United States of America. There is not much more that I can say about this beautiful document that it doesn’t already say itself, so on this 224th birthday of the Constitution, why not go ahead and read it. It might give you a new perspective of the greatness of this country.

This is the best link available to read all parts of the Constitution if you are so inclined. http://constitutionus.com/

NPR compares Obama to Jesus…Really?

Seriously? No, I mean, really? You’ve got to be kidding me. Yes, we all know that Liberal Democrats look at Obama as the second coming of the Messiah, and we’ve all seen the magazine covers with the glows and the halos around his head (well, not much anymore), but NPR has taken this to a new level of crazy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now NPR is doubling down on the Obama as Jesus narrative and using the clip of Obama saying “If you love me, pass this bill” as a comparison to Jesus telling Peter “if you love me, feed my lambs.”

Sacrilegious? Oh yeah. Disrespectful? Yep. Completely unprofessional? Absolutely.

Even when I read the comments below the article on the liberal NPR story, it seems like they went way to far with this one. A party and a media that chastises Christian candidates anytime they invoke the name of God, but then compares Obama with Jesus is completely hypocritical.  Read the story here. I’m not making this up folks. Oh, the humanity!

Obama’s Sinking Approval Ratings – Video

This latest poll from Bloomberg (sometimes fair, but mostly liberal) is dreadful news for the president and shows how deeply out of touch he is with the American people; not that he ever really was in touch with the American people. The question in the poll was, “Do you plan to vote for Barack Obama in the 2012 election?”  only 29% responded with a definite Yes, while 43% said they would definitely vote for another candidate. Those numbers in and of themselves are terrible news for Obama, but what it really shows is a deep mistrust in his failed policies and his new jobs plan which is just deja vu all over again (tax the rich to pay for the poor; yada, yada, yada we’re worse off than we were before).

Al Hunt, the Washington Editor at Bloomberg when asked if this is really bad news for the White House said, “on a scale from one to ten, this is almost an eleven.” Watch the video below to see more.

Mr. Obama, don’t you realize that the only jobs government can create are government jobs? The best plan is to stop micromanaging an economy that would have done better had you done no stimulus rather than infuse a trillion dollars which made matters worse. Now is the time to step aside and let the adults take over.

This poll doesn’t fare well for Congressional Republicans either, but they are the ones doing the heavy lifting. They have only been back in power since January, are doing what their constituants elected them to do, and they still only have one half of Congress. The Democrats have had a majority since 2007, which coincidentally is when the economy started to tank. Obama also had two full years with a Democrat majority in both the Senate and the House, and he chose to spend all of his political capital on ObamaCare rather than on the economy. Now he’s paying the piper, and the American people are the ones suffering. The president’s problem with this poll is that he’s not running against Congress, he’s running against the Republican contender, who wins in a landslide according to this poll. The Republicans need to stick to their guns (that’s not inflammatory language, is it?) and be principled. Obama’s support is imploding and we just need to stay out of the way, unlike what Obama is doing with the economy.

I removed the video because it was set to play automatically and frankly that annoys me. So in place of the video, here’s he link that will take you to the video. Sorry about the auto-play, but it was in the embed code and I couldn’t alter it. Here’s the link:  http://www.bloomberg.com/video/75423096/#ooid=o1MnNzMjq5ac8iK461lZeH5MrzJjWqaq

AttackWatch.com Video

First of all, I want to thank Barack Obama for creating attackwatch.com for friends, family, and neighbors to report each other if they hear or see anything that goes against the president. I decided to use this site and actually reported attackwatch.com to attackwatch.com. Hopefully they will take action. We’ll see.
