Obama Pledges to Continue Crackdown on ‘Irresponsible Behavior’

Posted on by

Obama Second Term AgendaMr Obama, on his Saturday radio address, promised to crack down on “irresponsible behavior.”

I applaud this outlook.  I think he should look inward first.  Here is where he could start:

– Abandon his shredding of the US Constitution, starting with his 2nd Amendment attacks;

– Consider an entire revamping of his cabinet, including the elimination of cabinet positions to include the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security.  This is just a start;

– Press for the Truth In Bills Act, which would limit each bill to one topic and no riders;

– Press for the Equal Applications Act, which makes the measures of each and every bill passed into law equally applicable to every individual in the federal and other governments;

– Press for the Bill Funding Act, which would make it illegal to divert money earmarked for a specific bill to any other fund, budget, for any reason;

– Press for the Tort Reform Act, which includes two very simple words: loser pays;

– Press for the Energy Independence Act, which would develop our own national oil fields, approve the Keystone XL pipeline, approve drilling in ANWR, off our coasts (and not so far out and deep that we ask for another BP disaster); foster tax credits for the building of new electrical generation infrastructure to include updated coal, oil and nuclear stations, as well as new water projects, coastal desalinization plants, and new oil refinery construction;

Of course, this is just a start.

But no.  Fear not.  Mr Obama will not go there.

His goal: to bring this country down to the level of its lessers, to remove its sovereignty, and make it “pay” for what he called its colonial past.

To Mr Obama, I say: check your own irresponsible behavior; turn that alleged superior intellect inward first.

The best ever PSA from a County Sheriff, regarding firearms

Posted on by

Here again, another Sheriff who dares to tell the truth and dares to fly in the face of the current Autarchy in DC.

Milwaukee County Sheriff (WI) David Clarke says: “You have a duty to protect yourself and your family.  We’re partners now.  Can I count on you?”

This, of course, is making the heads of Leftists literally explode.

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to Obama: “your recess appointments are unconstitutional”

Posted on by

USCA, Federal CircuitFrom the WashingtonTimes.com:

In a case freighted with major constitutional implications, a federal appeals court on Friday overturned President Obama’s controversial recess appointments from last year, ruling he abused his powers and acted when the Senate was not actually in a recess.

The three-judge panel’s ruling is a major blow to Mr. Obama. The judges ruled that the appointments he made to the National Labor Relations Board are illegal, and hence the five-person board did not have a quorum to operate.

But the ruling has even broader constitutional significance, with the judges arguing that the president’s recess appointment powers don’t apply to “intra-session” appointments — those made when Congress has left town for a few days or weeks. They said Mr. Obama erred when he said he could claim the power to determine when he could make appointments.

“Allowing the president to define the scope of his own appointments power would eviscerate the Constitution’s separation of powers,” the judges said in their opinion.

It is in fact an unprecedented act.  Obama sat on a controversial set of appointments waiting for the Christmas recess.  Then Obama unilaterally determined when the Senate could be in recess and thusly gutted the Constitution’s checks and balances.

It will, of course, be appealed as rapidly as possible.  Because it calls into question a year’s worth of similar appointments.  We have a system of powers already in place by the appointment process so that they are politically accountable.  This could be heard as quickly as June, or kicked to the side until fall.

I am shocked — shocked, I tell you — that a federal court had the temerity to stand in public disagreement with the Autarchist-in-Chief.

Gentlemen of that court: your taxes are so going to get audited this year.

Number Of Nation’s Sheriffs Refusing To Enforce Unconstitutional Gun Laws Snowballs

Posted on by

Sheriff-Joe-Arpaio-At-80From CNSNews.com:

From Florida to California, a growing number of the nation’s sheriffs are standing up to gun control measures proposed by both the administration and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

Many law enforcement officials have written letters to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden voicing their concerns over what they believe is an effort to infringe upon the Second Amendment.

Wait one moment.

Why are various SHERIFFS across the nation objecting to proposed 2nd Amendment limitations — and not a host of individual POLICE departments?

I will state the obvious reason: because, in general, Sheriffs across the nation are ELECTED and not appointed.  Sheriff’s do not have to answer to a smaller and more immediate and political city council — as are Chiefs of Police.  Simply: it is a matter of Political Correctness and its influence or lack thereof.

Continuing:

In New Mexico, 30 of the state’s 33 county sheriffs have reminded state lawmakers that they are under oath to support the U.S. Constitution, and that includes the Second Amendment.

CNSNews.com previously reported that 28 of the 29 sheriff’s in Utah sent a letter to President Obama stating that they will not enforce any new gun laws they believe to be unconstitutional.

A host of Oregon sheriffs have said that they will not comply with any new unconstitutional gun regulations:

  • Sheriff Craig Zanni wrote, “I have and will continue to uphold my Oath of Office including supporting the Second Amendment,” in a letter to Coos County citizens.
  • Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said he would refuse to enforce any new Federal gun law he believes is unconstitutional.
  • In a letter to Vice President Joe Biden, Grant County Sheriff, Glenn Palmer writes: “I will not tolerate nor will I permit any federal incursion within the exterior boundaries of Grant County, Oregon, where any type of gun control legislation aimed at disarming law -abiding citizens is the goal or objective.”
  • Sheriff Gil Gilbertson of Josephine County told Biden in a letter:  “Any rule, regulation, or executive order repugnant to the constitutional rights of the citizens of this County will be ignored by this office.”
  • Sheriff Tim Mueller of Linn County, Oregon says his department will not participate in any overreaching and unconstitutional federal firearms restrictions.

And apparently those are law enforcement officers who don’t answer to a Leftist council or board of supervisors.  Imagine that.  An entirely different political paradigm — as in: highly-clotted and congested areas — vs lesser congested areas.

High population centers beholden to the Fed and DC vs lesser population areas encompassing more agrarian areas depending more upon themselves and less upon the Fed.

Frankly: simple as that.

If you suck cock and wear knee-pads for federal cash, you will be beholden to DC.

If you couldn’t care less about federal grants and won’t prostrate yourself to DC, you are simply independent.

And “independent” is anathema to Leftists, Progressives, Socialists, Demorats and Liberals.

Even in Fornicalia, my state, some Sheriffs are taking a stand:

In California, Sheriff Adam Christianson of Stanislaus County wrote to the vice president: “I refuse to take firearms from law abiding citizens and will not turn law-abiding citizens into criminals by enforcing useless gun control legislation.”

A letter sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein from Sheriff Jon Lopey of Siskiyou County, California states: “Our founding fathers got it right and many politicians are getting it wrong.”

When you’re a whore for DC and/or their cash, you’ll only regret it in the end.

Because that’s how you’ll get it.

Senator Feinstein’s bill to ban some rifles, handguns and magazines:

Posted on by

DiFi's Vision For Women

The photo at left is the paradigm Diane Feinstein wants for women in the US.

From TheHill.com:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and a group of Senate Democrats on Thursday introduced legislation to ban the sale and manufacture of more than 150 types of semi-automatic weapons with military-style features.

Feinstein’s bill will expand the criteria for classifying military-style assault weapons from a 1994 law, which lapsed a decade later. Her new measure will ban the sale of about 150 types of firearms, including some rifles and handguns, as well as the sale of high-capacity magazines, according to USA Today.

The bill will exempt firearms used for hunting and will grandfather in guns and magazines owned before the law’s potential enactment. However, the grandfathered weapons will be logged in a national registry.

Unlike the 1994 assault-weapons ban, there is no sunset provision in Feinstein’s newest gun-control bill.

What are the details?  To begin:

The bill would ban the sale, transfer, manufacture and import of all semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can accept detachable magazines and have at least one military feature.

It would also ban semi-automatic rifles and handguns that have fixed magazines capable of carrying more than 10 rounds and all semi-automatic shotguns that have folding or detachable stocks, pistol grips, forward grips, or fixed magazines with room for more than five rounds.

It includes a grandfather clause that would exempt assault weapons “lawfully possessed” on the date of enactment. Background checks would be required prior to the sale or transfer of weapons exempted under the clause.

From TheDailyCaller.com:

WASHINGTON — California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein staged a dramatic press conference Thursday on Capitol Hill with 10 weapons at her side and unveiled legislation instituting a government ban on more than 150 types of firearms, including rifles, pistols and shotguns.

Flanked by other anti-gun liberal lawmakers, including New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, Feinstein announced the introduction of the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2013.”

Here is the closest to a concrete list of banned weapons I can, to this hour, determine (click on photo to enlarge), as well as this link from Senator Feinstein:
