With a stroke of His Imperial Pen, Mr Obama has shredded the US Constitution and driven the United States towards the realm of any given pathetic banana republic. Perhaps Mr Obama is simply trying to create more stars and bars upon the epaulets of his faux uniform.
Unlawfully and unconstitutionally, Mr Obama has decided unilaterally that he can create his own nation-changing law and bypass Congress entirely — which means he has completely done away with a full third of foundational American government. For those requiring a reminder, the three branches are: Executive, Judicial and Legislative. Mr Obama has kicked aside the Legislative branch: the US Congress.
This is a day of infamy. A day of Constitutional infamy.
What will this do? It will incentivize people from far away — think Central America and South America, like the children a few months ago — to attempt to invade our southern border. Some will come from the north and some from our lateral coasts.
“The problem is the central attribute you have to have as any leader, in any walk of life and certainly in government is trust,” Ron Fournier of the National Journal said. “This president has destroyed the credibility of his administration himself and government itself.”
Hugh Hewitt said that condescension is the proper response to Mr Obama’s executive order. And I would tend to agree. What is not warranted is any kind of reaction to include either a “shutdown of government” or an “impeachment.” That would be playing right into the seriously stupid hands of Leftists.
That said, I don’t trust the GOP to not be stupid. I wish I were more assured of a proper GOP response.
An edict such as this, no matter its name, is a precedent set that few people will want. It is a precedent that can be referred-to in the future by future presidents. Republican presidents. Actions presidents take, unhalted, do nothing but provide fodder for more power-taking in the future. Demorats fail to see and understand this concept. They apparently can only think of the here and now. This is nullification of laws and an essential re-writing of laws. By one man.
Leftists “justify” Obama’s actions by pointing to Ronald Reagan, who they say created his own Executive Order with regard to immigrants. And that is completely INcorrect. Please see this very important article by Gabriel Malor.
This nation has checks and balances for a reason. There can never be an Imperial President. There can never be a monarch in the United States of America. However, when Leftists and Demorats set a precedent, they fail to realize that a reverse precedent can thusly be set. A presidential temper tantrum cannot and should not set precedent but it appears to be. Where is his stated authority for this?
Which means: what if a president decided to turn a blind eye to lynching homosexuals? What if a president decided to declare no borders? What if a president decided to declare drugs fully lawful?
What if this president sets precedent for the reverse?
Further:
What if this means Americans can pick and choose which laws THEY wish to obey and which laws they wish to disregard. Goose/gander.

P.S.
Demorats and Leftists and parts of the GOP tried to bury us Conservatives. They didn’t realize: we are seeds.
Immigration and invasion:
I am NOT listening to his speech going on right now.
Obama has now impeached himself as far as I am concerned.
This Lying poser should now be brought up to the bar and Impeached!
2 more years of this liar, poser.
ALL of the records of his past shall now be opened so the World can see what this man really is.
From his place of birth, who actually is the father, his schooling, his homosexuality escapades, and all of his sponsors everywhere that produced this piece of human excrement.
When the NEW Senate and Congress is seated in a few months,,,all hell will break loose with the Republican control over both Houses of our existing Republic.
Surely some of our World enemies already know just exactly who this Obastard really is.
So,, I will wait, keep home vigilance, and keep in contact with all the Texas politicians in office and recently elected, and watch the news as it records the damage this current Democratic President has done an what the next 2 years will bring forth.
“Peace is that quiet solemn time you have when re-loading your musket in front of your enemy”.
He won’t be impeached. Nor should anyone try. They would only make him the martyr he wishes to become in history.
History, instead, will show him to be the hypocrite he truly is. When there are black presidents and females presidents who deserve actual credos, history will reveal Obama as shallow, conceited, ineffective and possessed of NPD.

Ironic. We just passed the 25th anniversary of the removal of The Berlin Wall. A milestone and defining moment. Symbolic of the end of a superpower (USSR). Now, as of today’s signing of this executive order, we see another milestone and defining moment. The surrender of the sovereignty of the United States. At the same time that Russia is rising back towards perhaps becoming an even more aggressive and dangerous threat than they were before.
“The Land of the Free and The Home of the Brave”. A challenge. Say that out loud. How many Americans still feel the same pride, belief and rock-solid resolve that they did saying that when that wall came down 25 years ago?
I might envision a “Twilight Zone” episode. An American falls asleep at night after witnessing the end of The Cold War and the removal of The Berlin Wall. When they wake up the next day, it suddenly 25 years later. Someone would have to explain to that person that 25 years ago, we had pride and the resolve to fight and stand up for our freedoms and our way of life…
…now everyone is too busy playing with social media, texting whilst driving and taking selfies.
Let’s all go back to sleep. Shall we?!
