How Republicans Lost The Election

A little context:

“I am not a dictator. I’m the president,” Barack Obama declared as he rejected the idea of using Secret Service agents to keep lawmakers from leaving until everyone agreed on a budget. He answered reporters’ questions shortly after an inconclusive, 52-minute meeting with the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate.

Why on Earth do you feel that this particular grease ball deserves any sort of consideration regarding context? Why do you feel the need to appoint yourself as an apologist for this American Nazi? You aren't explaining for Richard Nixon, or Greasy Clinton, so why attempt to rationalize this Chicago thug?


Besides, he has a habit of reminding us that he isn't Máximo Líder. It's like it's constantly on his mind or something.

While a student in the late 1970s, Barack Obama wrote his name in the pavement outside the cafeteria of Punahou School.

"he told us that his father was an Indonesian king and that he was a prince, and after he finished school he was going to go back, and he would be a ruler in Indonesia. And I absolutely believed him."

"I understand that he told his fifth-grade class that he was Kenyan royalty, but I never heard that story until years later. My sister and I remember very clearly that he was an Indonesian prince and that he would be going back there. So there was some reference to where he had come from, and the understanding was his familywas there…"

“This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency,” Obama said during a Google hangout event in February. “The problem is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.”

: “Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China,” the New York Times reported in March 2011.

February 2013 interview with Telemundo.

“My cabinet has been working very hard on trying to get it done, but ultimately, I think somebody said the other day, I am president, I am not king,” Obama told Univision in October 2010, when asked why he had yet to achieve comprehensive immigration reform. “I can’t do these things just by myself.”

“I can as well be hanged as tell the manner of it. It was mere foolery. I did not mark it. I saw Mark Antony offer him a crown (yet ’twas not a crown neither, ’twas one of these coronets) and, as I told you, he put it by once — but, for all that, to my thinking, he would fain have had it. Then he offered it to him again, then he put it by again — but, to my thinking, he was very loath to lay his fingers off it. And then he offered it the third time. He put it the third time by. And still, as he refused it, the rabblement hooted and clapped their chapped hands and threw up their sweaty night-caps and uttered such a deal of stinking breath because Caesar refused the crown that it had almost choked Caesar — for he swooned and fell down at it. And for mine own part, I durst not laugh for fear of opening my lips and receiving the bad air.”
– Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene 2

the fact that Nixon WAS a crook as proven in a court of law

and Clinton lied about Lewinsky and should have been impeached

and Obama's so called dictatorship in just an opinion of disgruntled crackpots.
if he somehow does away with the Constitution and names himself president for life THEN you can call him a dictator.

[Stubby]

You posted that picture again? WTF.
As you persuaded he wrote the 'king' part?

As for the rest, you are the King of the called Ottacontext.

What court was that? Which case number?
(Here's a clue. You don't know what you are talking about, you are merely regurgitating crap you heard.)

Clinton WAS impeached.

I don't mind people interjecting themselves into a conversation, but when they really don't have a f****** clue what is going on, they should either learn what they are talking about, or just be quiet.

You simply are not aware of all the other things Obama has done which are dictatorial. There has been no budget passed for 3 years now because Obama refuses to send a budget that even the Democrats could tolerate, let alone the Republicans. He has been attempting to run the government on a series of continuing resolutions which have been allowing him to bypass the constitutional process.

He has fired an Inspector General who was investigating corruption and kickbacks in his administration.

He has issued hundreds of illegal executive orders such as those which are currently destroying the coal industry, because he cannot get such acts through the legislative process. He is attempting to assume powers beyond the Presidency in many of these executive orders.

His administration has so far refused to state clearly that his drone policy regarding the killing of American citizens in other countries, will not apply within the borders of the United States.

His administration has intentionally let guns be bought by criminals and transported to Mexico, ostensibly for the purpose of provoking public outrage at all the gun violence caused by American Weapons in a sort of Reichstag fire tactic which was badly bungled.

His administration has proofread media stories prior to publication, and has threatened Reporters and Journalists with retaliation if they should run stories critical of his administration.

His DHS has suddenly discovered the need for massive quantities of Guns and ammunition for which they have never previously had such a need. Hollowpoint ammunition, which is in fact, illegal to use for war fighting.

His Administration has released hundreds of illegal aliens being held for deportation in an effort to threaten Congress with dire consequences if they don't give him more money.


And more besides. I'm really not going to bother listing all the other dictatorial, unprecedented things this little tinpot dictator wannabe has done, because I really don't think you care, or would even believe them if I did list them. Perhaps others can chime in on some of the crap he's pulled so far, but I believe i've made my point.

Richard Nixon was a small potato operator when compared to this thuggish crook.

Let me acquaint you with a very good resource regarding all things Obama. It is such a good resource thateven the Library of Congress has included it in their references.

Here is the page regarding that photograph of "King Obama" in the pavement outside of his school.

Obama in his Fifth grade class at Punahou school in 1972.



Some of us actually research this sh** and know what we are talking about.

Here's another link, just for you stubby.

This is no tempest in a teapot but rather the leak in the dike. Drip by drip, the Obama administration has demonstrated its intolerance for dissent and its contempt for any who stray from the White House script. Yes, all administrations are sensitive to criticism, and all push back when such criticism is deemed unfair or inaccurate. But no president since Richard Nixon has demonstrated such overt contempt for the messenger. And, thanks to technological advances in social media, Obama has been able to bypass traditional watchdogs as no other president has.

Oh, and another one. This one is a twofer. It needs to go in the "Skynet is Coming thread too."

DHS built domestic surveillance tech into Predator drones

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has customized its Predator drones, originally built for overseas military operations, to carry out at-home surveillance tasks that have civil libertarians worried: identifying civilians carrying guns and tracking their cell phones, government documents show.

The documents provide more details about the surveillance capabilities of the department's unmanned Predator B drones, which are primarily used to patrol the United States' northern and southern borders but have been pressed into service on behalf of a growing number of law enforcement agencies including the FBI, the Secret Service, the Texas Rangers, and local police.

Oh, and stubby, here's some gravy to go with those potatoes.


Obama DHS Purchases 2,700 Light-Armored Tanks to Go With Their 1.6 Billion Bullet Stockpile

The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.

Well it was Bush who created that DHS in the first place, many people didn't understand the need, but it sailed right through. Anyone who questioned it or the Patriot Act were weak on fighting terrorism or unpatriotic or both. Wonder how the people who agreed with Chaney saying waterboarding isn't torture will feel when it is American citizens at home getting the "enhanced interrogation" techniques. Only now because it is scarry old lefty Obama in charge of it do people finally see the danger.

Beyond that, I would trust a sensible man with a gun. An Idiot child such as Obama, I would not.

There are places the Right could ally itself with the left and present a united front to resist the Obamanation. States Rights. But they don't. Why? Because they prefer to support a Wilson administration policy. Fn Wilson Administration. Roosevelt Admin too. And Progressive to boot. There has always been a strong strain of progressivism on the religious right. It was how we got alcohol prohibition. What we currently have in America is the Progressive Right vs the Progressive Left.

The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types -- the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution. — G.K. Chesterton

Democrats embrace States' Rights when it served as a fig leaf to support their agenda. They have no problem trampling the states when the federal government is pushing their agenda. Similarly, they support Democracy only so long as the people are on board with their agenda.
