Will Americans Stand A Chance Against
The Tyranny Of The Obama Regime?
The Tyranny Of The Obama Regime?
Todd Cefaratti, Editor of TPNN — Tyrants are dangerous. Whether left, right, communist, fascist- it doesn’t matter. America has a long history of rejecting tyrants and we must maintain that proud tradition by rejecting tyranny via executive actions.Sure, so many of them start off as popular leaders. Fidel Castro rallied support by ousting the Batista regime in Cuba. Soviet leaders began the USSR by ousting the tyrannical Czar. After King Louis XVI was beheaded, Robespierre emerged as the French leader who would usher in what would become known as the “reign of terror.”
Still, mankind is infected with short-sided individuals who feel that so long as a despot says what they like to hear, their breach of the law is acceptable.
Whether a Democrat or Republican or an Independent is in office, Americans must fully reject the promise of elected leaders to bypass their constitutional limitations.
President Obama has spoken boldly about his willingness to act without Congress on several important issues. Most recently, Obama has flat-out stated that if Congress refuses to act on raising the federal minimum wage, he will act unilaterally.
Such talk is wholly incompatible with the fundamental concepts of liberty.
Still, Democrats are cheering on the despotic leader who promises to violate the Constitution and it is truly baffling. The Hill reports:
“Should he have to wait because of the intransigence, the obstacles that are [put] in place by Republicans? … He’s saying, ‘I’ll do what I can as the executive of this government,’ ” Rep. Xavier Becerra (Calif.), chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said after a closed door meeting in the Capitol.
“The president is asking Congress to work with him,” Becerra added. “But he’s not going to wait forever because you’ve got this heavy anchor of inaction in Congress weighing [down] the country and the economy.”
The White House on Tuesday announced plans to use an executive order to hike the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 for future government contract workers. Obama is expected to trumpet the move during his State of the Union speech Tuesday night.
No, the president is not “asking Congress to work with him.” Demanding compliance and issuing threats of unilateral action is not what presidents do, it is what dictators do.
Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), vice chairman of the Democratic Caucus, laughably claimed that the president’s trampling of the Constitution is an example of leadership.
“This is not the fix we’re looking for, but he’s leading by example, sending a message to Congress that we need to raise the minimum wage for all Americans,” Crowley said. “He’s not trying to abrogate the Constitution. … He wouldn’t do that. What’s he’s doing is trying to lead, and I’m impressed by that.”
Republicans are expressing outrage, but with such a weak track record of standing up to President Obama’s bullying tactics, it’s hard to gauge how seriously some are taking the despotic threats.
House Speaker Boehner stated, “We’re just not going to sit here and let the President trample all over us.” However, such brash talk rings hollow when the Speaker has allowed Obama to trample all over us repeatedly.
Conservative Representative Steve King was stronger in his condemnation, saying, “We have a minimum wage. Congress has set it. For the president to simply declare, ‘I’m going to change this law that Congress has passed’ is unconstitutional.”
The White house has claimed that the president will reissue the threat of executive action in the State of the Union Address and it seems clear that if Americans are going to stand a chance against the tyranny of the Obama Regime, such efforts will derive from the Tea Party and other conservative leaders in Washington. » Full Article

One thing that he has made clear is that he will make it official that he is instituting an ‘imperial presidency’, using his pen and his phone to bypass Congress and implement his agenda to complete his fundamental transformation of America into a type of failed, European Socialist society.

Economist and author Walter Williams exposes the hypocrisy, double-standards, disingenuousness, and true motives surrounding the latest outcries from the Marxist Obama regime over “income inequality.” Perfect timing for Mr. Williams, as the Obama State of the Union Address is predicted to be loaded with class warfare rhetoric, including dictatorial changes in the minimum wage without congressional legislation.
» I AM AFRAID OF MY GOVERNMENT
I came into this world when Franklin D. Roosevelt was President and I have never been afraid of my government until now. I am not alone. A consistent and growing theme of commentaries on the conservative news sites and blogs that I read every day is the fear of the Obama administration that has been cracking down on those who criticize it. They get audited by the IRS. They are refused the same status as non-profit entitles engaging in public education as Left-leaning organizations. They are accused of being racists, homophobes, anti-immigration, and anti-women.

New Video Shows Obama For What He Is:
Just An Empty Suit
Just An Empty Suit
Greg Campbell, Chief Political Analyst, The Tea Party News Network — A new video is making the rounds in the days and hours before the president’s State of the Union Address that showcases what many on the right already know- that President Obama is an empty suit that espouses empty ideas and empty promises.
The video entitled “#emptysuit” was created by the American Action Network, a nonprofit whose goal is to “create, encourage and promote center-right policies based on the principles of freedom, limited government, American exceptionalism, and strong national security.”
The video shows an edited video of the president’s last State of the Union Address that edits out President Obama’s face and hands and just shows an empty suit espousing promises to an unenthused crowd.
The satire hits on the perception amongst conservatives that the president’s promises are hollow and that real, meaningful leadership remains conspicuously absent in the White House as the nation deals with pressing concerns and serious issues. » Greg Campbell Article Archive
