To Barack Obama: Americans obey laws, never the whims of men

By MIKE | Published: NOVEMBER 21, 2014

Having been taught by my parents and my faith never to pray for anything bad, or for anything bad to happen to another person, I have for more than 60 years obeyed that lesson. But I do admit that for the past few years I have stopped each morning before leaving for work to check GOOGLE News with a feeling of what President Obama once called “hope,” a hope that something seemingly beyond reach but very beneficial for America might have happened overnight. Alas, over the course of those years GOOGLE News has never reported what would be most wonderful news for America, that Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Valerie Jarrett, Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder were no longer available to continue their intentional destruction of the United States. I sometimes think that a regular prayer from me toward that end might have helped produce that most glorious issue, but lessons learned young die hard and that one is till strong in me.

So, if happenstance and great good luck are not going to deliver America from the clutches of the above-mentioned six-headed plague, Americans –like their ancestors — will have to do it themselves, by the b****t box if possible but, in the last resort, by wh**ever means suffice. A first action really ought to be for every family in America not resident on one of the Democrat’s plantations for the mindless, lazy, theoretical, illegal, and Ivy-League educated to purchase weapons and ammunition with which to defend themselves, their families, and their property against the coming felonious wave of unwanted, unneeded, and crime-inclined migrants that Obama and his plague-on-America gang are motivating to cross the southern border. The media is reporting that more than 100,000 American citizens have been k**led by the Democrats’ pet i******s, and the more of that kind of human scum that enters the country, the more Americans will be k**led. So get yourselves armed and pray that you do not have to shoot at both the i******s attacking you and the body-armored gunmen that the national government probably will send to protect the i******s who are intent on doing you harm.

The next step is in the lap of the governors. I have never understood why there are no state m*****as under the governors’ sole control — unless called into national service to defend against a foreign enemy — as mandated by the Bill of Right’s 2nd Amendment. I look and look and look but cannot find the amendment that negated that part of the 2nd Amendment, and that is because there is none. Over the years, the executive and legislative branches of the national government have cooperated to simply legislate away that constitutional right from the American people and their state governments in order to monopolize the tools of force and use them to enforce laws — and even executive orders — that Americans oppose and which hurt their home states. I have heard several legal experts “explain” what they called the “perfectly constitutional and legal process” by which the state m*****as and part of the 2nd Amendment were annihilated. Some pretty fancy talk for sure, but it was just deceitful, Obama-like lawyer prattle.

The U.S. Constitution cannot be altered except by the successful completion of the prescribed process for amending the original document. This was not done, and so all the legislation passed in the past century to destroy state m*****as is simply illegal, it provides no legal basis for preventing the governors from reestablishing the state m*****as; indeed, the unamended 2nd Amendment makes it their duty to do so. Unconstitutional legislation, no matter how voluminous and bipartisan, cannot negate a constitutional right.

The governors of at least the southern tier of U.S. states ought to soon meet and initiate efforts to recreate, train, and arm state m*****as that will be under their control. The governors can then use that force to protect their citizens from the felonious influx Obama is fueling, as well as to protect the viability of their states’ economies, health services, educational systems, and local law-enforcement capabilities. This is serious business, however, and those state m*****as might at some point have to face and fight the above-mentioned gunmen sent by the national government to protect the i******s and see to it that they are permitted to make a wreck out of any state they choose to focus on.

As always, force must ever be a citizen’s last resort when dealing with the national government, but Obama’s brazen disregard for both the Constitution and the welfare of working, and especially rural Americans; his quite obvious goal of making the United States into a Third World country; and his eagerness to wage war when the mood strikes him, makes a willingness on his part to ruthlessly oppress American citizens in favor of his i******s is something to be expected. I suppose the best Americans can do is reflect on and perhaps mimic the actions of an American m*****a captain named John Parker, a man who found himself at the head of his unit on Lexington green more than two hundred years ago. Standing face-to-face against the forces of a central government that was oppressing Americans and trying to disarm them, that captain forbid his men from firing first, but he added that “if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”

All told, Americans are today seeing what no Americans before them have seen — a president-turned-tyrant acting unconstituitionally to impose his ideology and will on the citizenry, thereby illegally punishing them economically and socially, undermining the effectiveness of their state and local law-and-order regimes, making their e******ns irrelevant, weakening the bonds of the Union, and alienating wh**ever sentiments of affection Americans may still retain for their national government. We shall see in the next few years whether President Obama’s diktat on immigration turns out to be a last straw in what Mr. Jefferson once described as “a long train of abuses and usurpations” that required Americans to take up arms and “throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” We should all pray that such is not the case, but if it so turns out, it will be Mr. Obama who, quite knowingly and deliberately, broke the camel’s back and thereby started a fire that will grow hot and bloody enough to consume the plague that he and his colleagues injected into the nation.

Ike Loc: Minnesota Iron Range

I thought I'd file an update from one of the "Democrat’s plantations for the mindless, lazy, theoretical, illegal, and Ivy-League educated," namely Minnesota. Our unemployment rate is considerably below the national average and the state is predicting a revenue surplus for this year. Coincidentally, the governor's office and both houses of the state legislature have been controlled by the Democrats for the last two years. The house will shift to the Republicans in January, so we'll see how that goes. While we don't have any Ivy League schools in Minnesota, I believe that Carlton, Macalester, and several others are just as good (or, from Mike's point of view, just as bad). We can't be too lazy, because it gets pretty cold up here, and we have to have enough ambition to put on our winter jackets before we venture outside. My little town proudly proclaims the state's record low temperature, 60 below. When it gets that cold, as Garrison Keillor points out, you need to zip your jacket up. I thought g****l w*****g would make temperatures like that a thing of the past, but if this polar vortex thing becomes a regular event, that record might be broken. I think another little town west of us got to 59 below last winter, so it could happen. I know, I'm being all theoretical here.

I really can't buy the mindless part, though. We do plenty of thinking in Minnesota. And one of the things that I think is that I resent it when Mike writes off about half of the population of this country, including me, as not real Americans. It seems pretty egotistical to define who is and who isn't a real American. And it almost sounds like he is encouraging people to start shooting at me because I don't fit his preconception of what a real American is. Don't we ridicule the Sunnis and Shiites for attitudes like that? As that wise philosopher Pogo Possum once said, "We has met the enemy, and they is us."

I, for one, would very much enjoy watching this fraudulent POS hang by his neck.
