Serious as are the policy disagreements roiling Washington, none is as important as the structural distortion threatening constitutional equilibrium. Institutional derangement driven by unchecked p**********l aggrandizement did not begin with Barack Obama, but his offenses against the separation of powers have been egregious in quantity and qualitatively different.
Regarding immigration, health care, welfare, education, drug policy and more, Obama has suspended, waived and rewritten laws, including the Affordable Care Act. It required the employer mandate to begin this year. But Obama wrote a new law, giving to companies of a certain size a delay until 2016 and stipulating that other employers must certify they will not drop employees to avoid the mandate. Doing so would trigger criminal perjury charges; so he created a new crime, that of adopting a business practice he opposes.
Presidents must exercise some discretion in interpreting laws, must have some latitude in allocating finite resources to the enforcement of laws and must have some freedom to act in the absence of law. Obama, however, has perpetrated more than 40 suspensions of laws. Were presidents the sole judges of the limits of their latitude, they would effectively have plenary power to vitiate the separation of powers, the Founders’ bulwark against despotism.

Hmmm. One of the most common mistakes in critical thinking can be trying to discredit a source of data by saying the delivery method of that source is not t***hful. This Lady is merely lining up the most prevalent messes that our Crook-N-Crony in Chief has made; then reminding us that we are responsible for his consequences.


“A nation can survive its’ fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the t*****r moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the t*****r appears not a t*****r–He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation–he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city–he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.”

“Cicero, 42 B.C., Roman Statesman, orator, and author.

A Most Successful President

By Eileen F. Toplansky

If one sets out to destroy the core pillars of a society, to incrementallybreak down the values of a country, and to dishearten its inhabitants, then Barack Hussein Obama has been a sterling success.
He is no amateur; he is not a feckless individual who doesn't know what he is doing. His actions are deliberate, and his goals are in direct opposition to the vast majority of the American people. His so-called misdirections are calculated, and his leadership traits are not intended to support America. He knows exactly what he is doing, and far too many people still don't comprehend or want to believe the machinations of this man and his underlying political arc.

Even some conservative commentators appear to be amazed at the constant replays of actions designed to hurt America. Why should they be? Obama is doing what Obama said he would do. He is t***sforming this country into the mold he wants – a weakened America, a demoralized American people, and a vast playground that he can ultimately demolish should he become head of the United Nations.
And he is succeeding.

What gives Obama an almost teflon-shield protection is that he is neither a bombastic leader like Hitler nor quite asociopath like Stalin. He has mastered the art of being cool. He gives no one any conversational satisfaction, because he simply disappears from the scene. His passive resistance is a clever way of disarming the other side, who is not expecting such a response.

He has been tutored well; he is an excellent student, who has far surpassed his mentors. They would be proud.

But we do not have to be so naive. It is mandatory that we play the same game as Obama and company, but our net result is to save the country, not destroy it. We need to tweet one-liners that expose his true intentions; that speak the jargon that will resonate with people.

Stand up and defend against bullying. That's your mantra.

Then why let Obama bully you in your personal health care decisions?

Hawaii is a lover's paradise.

Did you know that "Hawaii's Obamacare exchange is the most costly in the nation?"

George Will has explained that those "2014 college grads [who] v**ed Obama ... now suffer for it."

Can't stand adults telling you how to lead your life?

Then why do you let the Democrats and Obama control your ability to get a good job?

If, as a stealth jihadist, Obama has always meant to topple any Middle East stability and isolate Israel, the only democratic outpost in the region, he has been remarkably successful. Incidents like B******i are like little gnats. He will brush them away; he will concoct the most amazing ingenuous excuses, all the while knowing that far too many American people are essentially uninterested in the details and/or could never actually believe that the most powerful black man in the country is actually a liar.

Of course we believe in immigration reform.

When terrorists come in through our porous borders, all Americans should be concerned. So why doesn't President Obama follow federal i*********n l*ws?

It is inconceivable to some Americans that a leader could be so nefarious. His reptilian response to the families of the murdered at B******i was evident to all who bothered to study his facial response. Non-verbal responses are not to be dismissed. They often are the true indicators of what is going inside a person. We need to highlight the disingenuousness of Obama.

You may be a lover, not a warrior.

But don't American families of murdered soldiers deserve the t***h from their commander-in-chief?

Obama cannot abide the capitalistic urge for independent creation of money; thus, he has been remarkably successful in stymieing business in this country. He concocts high-sounding responses to an audience that has no understanding of the evils of c*******m. As a result, they mindlessly parrot his ideas without even acknowledging that they will be the ones most to suffer.

How much money do you want to make?

Why let President Obama tax so much of it to fill the coffers of the government?

Didn't you work for it?

Shouldn't you keep it?

We have all been to enough dinner events where vacuous comments about the 1% are bandied about, only to sit in amazement at the sheer lunacy of the remarks. Obama adamantly refuses to open the Keystone Pipeline, which would give America energy independence and throw a monkey wrench into Russian energy domination. How does a person loyal to American interests do everything that hurts those very interests? It is not mere stubbornness; it is right in line with his ultimate intentions. Then we need billboard advertisements that state this outright.

It has been said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I beg to disagree. It is not a mark of insanity if one comprehends the real motives of the person doing the activities. Consider that Obama is hell-bent on bringing America to its knees. His is not a hidden agenda.

Who wouldn't be for women's rights?

Then why does President Obama support groups that believe that husbands should abandon wivesto rapists?

Iran threatens America with extinction. Iranian Ayotallah Khamenei has said that “[b]attle and jihad are endless because evil and its front continue to exist. … This battle will only end when the society can get rid of the oppressors’ front with America at the head of it, which has expanded its claws on human mind, body and thought. … This requires a difficult and lengthy struggle and need for great strides.”

A president's main duty is to protect the country from avowed enemies.

So why does President Obama ignore the words of Iran's leaders as they promise to annihilate America?

All dictators are eventually brought down. But do we want to pattern ourselves after Cuba, whose inhabitants 50 years later still suffer under the Castro regime?

Obama has been particularly astute atdividing this country. The tension among races is palpable. The phony war on women is a constant drone that stops any rational conversation based on logic, reason, and sheer evidence. How do I know? Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood, which supports sharia, the most misogynistic law on the face of the planet. His gay supporters need to see the h*****g of their gay brothers in the middle of the town square in Islamic-supported countries. His black supporters need to be reminded of the s***ery that is thriving in these same countries. Instead, we find Obama and Eric Holder coddling Muslim jihadists while also exhibiting outright r****magainst w***e A******ns.

And Obama has succeeded, because the "good people are doing nothing." The Congress has the means toimpeach this man for any number of reasons. They refuse. Their lack of backbone has far too many Americans psychologically surrendering because they feel overwhelmed by Obama's monstrous outreach via the NSA, the IRS, and ObamaCare.

Obama and his think-masters have rightly focused on the young and impressionable of this country, and they continually bombard them with tweets and one-liners – particularly effective with this group.

President Obama promised free health care.

But did you know that you have to pay a premium that is quite expensive?

How is this free?

Thus, wordsmiths need to change their approach to this audience. We need to work with symbols and one-liners that fight back, and fight back hard. We need to utilize the same strategies that our opponents use. We cannot give up the good fight.

Obama promised people they could keep their doctors.

But did you know that under ObamaCare, cancer patientscannot see the cancer treatment physicians who previously helped them? Also, they can no longer go to the cancer treatment hospitals that gave them quality care!

What right does the government have to tell people where to obtain medical care?

In 1770, Edmund Burke wrote that "when bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." In 1867, John Stuart Mill stated that "[b]ad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing."

A change in tactics is critical because, quite frankly, the November 2014 is the last chance to save this country from a downward trajectory that will radically and adversely change the landscape of America.

Benjamin Franklin on Indians


In one of his Essays Benjamin Franklin offered same considerations regarding the Indians which are well worthy of remembrance, and of special application to those of Canada . He points out that the Indian men, when young, were h****rs and warriors ; when old, counselors ; that all their government was by the counsel or advice of the sages; that there was no force, there were no prisons, and no officers to compel obedience, or inflict punishment. Hence they generally studied oratory, the best speaker having the most influence. The Indian women tilled the ground, dressed the food, nursed and brought up the children, and preserved and handed down to posterity the memory of public t***sactions. These employments of men and women were accounted natural and honourable. Having few artificial wants they had abundance of leisure for improvement in conversation. Our labourious manner of life, compared with theirs, they esteemed slavish and base, and the learning on which we value ourselves they regarded as frivolous and useless.

An instance of this occurred at the Treaty of Lancaster, in Pennsylvania , in 1744, between the government of Virginia and the Six Nations. After the principal business was settled the Commissioners from Virginia acquainted the Indians in a speech that there was at Williamsburg a college, with a fund for educating Indian youth, and that if the chiefs of the Six Nations would send down half a dozen of their sons to that college the Government would take care that they should be well provided for, and instructed in all the learning of the white people. It has always been one of the Indian rules of politeness not to answer a public proposition the same day that it is made; they think it would be treating it as a light matter, and they show it respect by taking time to consider it, as being an important matter. They therefore deferred their answer till the day following, when their speaker began by expressing a deep sense of the kindness of the Virginia government in making them the offer:


"For we know," said he, "that you highly esteem the kind of learning taught in those colleges, and that the maintenance of our young men while with you would be very expensive to you. We are convinced, therefore, that you mean to do us good by your proposal, and we thank you heartily. But you who are wise must know that different nations have different conceptions of things, and you will therefore not take it amiss if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same with yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces, they were instructed in all your sciences, but when they came back to us they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, unable to bear either cold or hunger, knew neither how to build a cabin, take a deer, or k**l an enemy, spoke our language imperfectly, were, therefore, neither fit for h****rs, warriors, or counselors; they were totally good for nothing. We are not, however, the less obliged by your kind offer, though we decline accepting it, and to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia send us a dozen of their sons we will take great care of their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them ."

Ancient Wisdom

Hecataeus of Abdera, a Greek historian who lived at the end of the 4th century BCE, tells an amusing story about a certain march in which he participated during, or just following, Alexander the Great’s conquest of the ancient Near East:

When I was on the march toward the Red Sea, among the escort of Jewish cavalrymen, who accompanied us was a certain Mossollamus (Hebrew Meshullam), a very intelligent man, robust, and by common consent, the very best bowmen, whether Greek or barbarian.

This man, noticing that a number of people were now idling on the path that the whole force was being held up by a seer who was taking the auguries, asked (the seer) why they were stopping. The seer pointed to a certain bird he was observing , and told him that if it stayed in that spot, they would do well to wait around for awhile, If it got up and flew forward then they would proceed forward, If however it flew backward they were to turn back.

The Jew, without saying a word, drew his bow and shot, hitting the bird and k*****g it. The seer and some of the others became indignant and began heaping curses on him. “ What are you poor people getting so upset about?” he asked. Then picking up the bird in his hands, he said: How could any sound information about our journey have been provided by this poor creature, who was unable to make provision from his own safety? For if he had any gift for divination he never would have come to this place for fear of being k**led by an arrow from Mossollamus the Jew..
