I dont even know what to say... how to address this. I'll just qoute it here with sources.

This is from Obama's State of the Union Address last night.

Obama said:
The executive branch also needs to change. Too often, it’s inefficient, outdated and remote. That’s why I’ve asked this Congress to grant me the authority to consolidate the federal bureaucracy so that our Government is leaner, quicker, and more responsive to the needs of the American people.

What? Am I the only one that finds this alarming? What does he mean, consolidate the federal bureaucracy to the executive branch? Does he know that he is the executive branch? I asssume he does...

I pulled the quote from The Blaze.
The Blaze

By clicking the link, the full one hour + of video from the SOTU is available. The quote is from right around the 50 minute mark.

Dont take my word for it.

Translation: I need more power to execute the plan that I have for America.
 
Thanks for pointing this out. Scary stuff, to be sure!

This goes along with his repeated statements that he will do things with or without the help of Congress. This mindset really frightens me.

And in an interesting peek into the administration's view on things, within the 14-page script of the SOTU handed out to the members of Congress and some press the word "government" is capitalized every single time it is used in the speech. When capitalized its meaning is specifically referring to the executive branch and even then is rarely used as a proper noun. But when used every single time in a one hour speech it seems as if he thinks the only government is him.
 
I appreciate yall bein out there and payin attention to this stuff... the stuff that gets lost somewhere between the applause and media shuffle for sound bites.

Speaking of applause, did anyone watch the SOTU and hear the applause after the part quoted? Is no one listening?

Also, Glenn Beck makes reference to the book, "Philip Dru Administrator" while talking about this topic. Anyone familiar with the book? Its fitting given the circumstances. Maybe not in deed but in the tactics (I said "tactics" :lol: ), but in the tactics used to carry out the plan. So fitting...

1984 is also around the corner.

Shooter, socialism may not be strong enough a word. If some of the other stuff comes to pass, more like facism. Theres more I'll add, but I havent checked the sources yet and I'd rather not just qoute Glenn Beck.
 
NiteSite, heres a video along the lines of what you mentioned.

This is from the Cordray confirmation, the new "Consumer Watchdog". This is a totally new position that didnt exist prior the conformation.

When congress refuses to act, and as a result hurts our economy and puts our people at risk... then I have an obligation as president, to do what I can, with out them.

The house was in fact in session when the appointment was made. I forget the term used, but it refers to being in session enough to prevent recess appointments... a tactic formed by the senate I believe during the Bush administration. House and senate dems employed the strategy to prevent Bush's recess appointments from conformation. The same tactic was being used to prevent the Cordray conformation, but Obama used the non-recess "recess appointment" to bypass congressional approval.

Thats just one example, the NDAA legislation is another nail. Consolidating the powers of federal beauracracy to the executive branch of "Government" (thanks NiteSite for that info with the caps on the G!!!) will be another... and if the thing with Google happens, then its another and another. Approving military spy drones to fly over the US searching for people is another. (That one is said to be a tactic to fight illegal immigration and terrorism... no, no. It wont be used for nefarious purposes. This is a good thing!) Another nail. And another, and another.

The Oath of Office? Hows the part go about defending the Constitution? Preserve, Protect and Defend?

IAS, This is why I do what I do. Try to find the information in the details that are least covered in the news. I really dislike the errosion of freedoms and anything that would lead to something other than personal accountability where one will pass or fail by their own merit and the Grace of God.

I dislike anything that is larger and larger bloated government way beyond the mandates of the Constitution. The federal government is prescribed specific core functions under the Constitution and beyond that their supposed to get the heck out of way so we can persue life, liberty, and happiness. (I know that isnt a word for word quote) Beyond the core functions of government, everything else goes to the states. How much sense does it make that the military budget can be cut dramatically but not a penny can be touched from welfare and social programs?

Right now, it seems everything is upside down and backwards, I feel like I'm living in some sort of Alice in Wonderland dream world...
 
Slowly but surely the checks and balances system of government is being eroded because it just seems to get in the way.
 
Rip, youre right.

It does seem to get in the way, doesnt it. Of consolidating power to one branch of government... Oh wait, I'm in favor of that! :D (of it being in the way! ;) )
 
Does anyone here remember that he screwed up the first oath he took?

makes me want to be my own sovereign country sometimes. Nobody can lead me better than me.

Except for maybe my wife sometimes. :lol:
 
John, yes, I remember.

He took the oath again just some time later to make sure it was "legit".
 
I'm following a couple new reports.

The first is that Obama has asked Israel to hold off attacks on Iran untill after this years elections in exchange for weapons, primarily bunker buster bombs.

And secondly, Obama is lobbying top democrats to vote against a bill that would allow the Keystone pipeline to through. Its a piece of legislation that would take the power out of Obamas hands.
 
The more this administration controls the debate and the headlines (there are only so many hours in a day until November) be it with Iran or Keystone or scores of other 'non-fiscal' issues they have in store for us until then...the less Americans are going to worry about what is drastically needed on 'their' part (right away) to solve anything as a country collectively.

We had our chance to show this administration (and the last) that we would collectively not put up with the first raid on the Treasury (let alone what immediately followed)...and maybe 100,000 people showed up ON A SATURDAY (9-12-09) only to be greeted with unknown/uninspiring (in terms of specific action plans) tea party leaders, Jim DeMint, Mike Pence and not even the organizer of the event himself in attendance. If anybody wants to call the election of 2010 or how it was framed/platformed the 'overwhelming' success that everybody patted themselves on the back for as they were already doing at that rally...they are kidding themselves (at the next biggest rally held in D.C. you couldn't even carry a sign!).

My point here is that the time for action has not only passed (trillions of dollars of debt-wise) but that those pointing to some kind of 'fix' even possible here fiscally come Novemeber can't even agree as to whose check is going to be cut in this country first, let alone last.
If we want to not only pay but increase the amount that our brave LE and military heros (and I'm sure I'm leaving out other heroes as well) are owed...fine...I'm all for it and just tell me what it will cost each year until God takes them home. Same goes for the truly disabled and any other deserving group that you want to add to the total.

The problem is (again fiscally)...who's the last person standing without a chair when the music stops? If your candidate won't even make the basic calcualtions as to who is indeed 'untouchable' for the next 50 years or so and simply take that amount OUT of the yearly budget...why in the world would you ever belive that this is even possible in the first place or that any honest budgeting could ever take place come November?

Does anybody believe that with not one candidate presently picking the winners and losers desperately needed in this regard or not even one American leader in any other capacity doing so either that we will all somehow just muddle through all of this with over 16 trillion on the books?

Let's be optimistic...but let's be realistic and talk raw numbers vs politics and finally teach our kids as to how our generation screwed this all up for them in the first place (that's the least they deserve and we all know it).
 
Valerie jarrett, one of Obama's principal advisors, really let the cat out of the bag before his inauguration when she said this: "He will be ready to rule on day one."

I thought presidents served the administrative branch in helping to govern, but never before heard that a president RULES.

Correction: Budgeting for 'untouchables' requires a full lifetime of benefits form this day on and certainly not the mere 50 years that a younger recipient might expect. If you feel that you should be on this list please post here so that we may add your lifetime benefits and cut anybody else possibly less deserving to finally balance our books.
 
Folks, bear with me as I tie a few things together. I'll try and go in order.

Ok, there was a State of the Union Address in which Obama said he like to consolidate the powers of the federal government to the executive branch. This can be found on youtube, and I personally have posted transcripts and links to validate information.

The NDAA "indefinite detention of terror suspects" legislation is passed with the fiscal year 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The language makes it possible to detain indefinitely and without trial, people(s) suspected of terrorism including American citizens on US soil. Such people can be held until "the end of hostilities" even in foreign prisons. (documented here)

The recent DHS (Department of Homeland Security) reports defines terrorists, suspicion of terrorism, and potential terrorists (I'm paraphrasing) to include everyday people like you and me doin everyday stuff. (also documented here)

Included in the report, the MIAC is described (and verified) as having distributed to law enforcement agencies literature to better help LEO's identify potential terrorism. (documented here)

Such things as prefering privacy, a sense of nationalism and viewing the US as a sovereign nation and being concerned about the US's loss of sovereignty to a foreign entity, being suspicious of centralized federal govt, big govt., small govt advocates, prefering liberty and personal freedoms, Christian groups and anti-abortion advocates (right to lifers), prefering to purchase with cash rather than a card... all are included in the new definitions. The DHS's "See Something, Say Something" campaign encourages folks to be vigilant and watch for this kind of activity and to point these deviants out to authorities. I kid you not, we have these posters in our municipal building.

Obama is undoing the work of the Clinton administration by no longer requiring folks on welfare to seek gainful employment. Currently somewhere in the area of 49% of the population receives some kind of aid. I dont take issue with that. I understand bein down and bein backed up a gainst a wall. But dont give in, dont give up your drive desire and ambition for greatness! Dont let the govt take that from you!

D-Day For Gun Control
Sec. of State Hillary Clinton will be signing the UN treaty, the Arms Trade Agreement (ATT) on July 27th. This doesnt not have to be ratified by a 2/3 vote. Not if its never brough up for vote in the senate. It has to do with the US be a signatory to another organization, like the Geneva Convention but the name escapes me and I cant find it on Dick Morris' site right now. I apologize, that isnt like me... Anyhow, once signed, its effective and remains in effect until voted down, but if it isnt brought up for a vote in the senate, it cant be voted down. If it gets sent through during the lame duck session after elections, it will supercede our own Constitution. It acts as an ammendment.

So lets start connecting the dots. Obama has long since been an anti-gun guy and has admitted to thinkin no one should own a gun. How do you control an unruly population (especially given what the founding fathers of this country believed)? You have to take their firearms. You can also control speech and silence them by identifying them as radicals and terrorists then rounding them up and sending them off to prison camps. You can keep most of the people loyal and happy just by providing for them, food and shelter... govt welfare.

The lessons of history are available to us and I have said before and detailed communism, nazism, and fascism. I've said there has to be an enemy (often its the wealthy, rich, capitalists), education has to be controlled, there can be no God, and the populace has to be disarmed.

Can anyone say they havent seen all of these things happening?
 
I was no fan of the Clinton's as I view them as socialists too. The difference I see though is that when Clinton got hammered during the mid term election he moved to center/left to govern and worked with a tough Congress to get some things done even while having zipper problems. Obama gets hammered in the mid term election and he goes to work ignoring Congress and the Constitution to get the leftist agenda through.

Don't forget his commie/socialist "czars" he has pluged in everywhere. Some had track records so bad they had to be dumped (Van Jones was one).

His college records remain sealed and I'm pretty sure it's because they will show what a radical he is. The press continues to ignore this while slamming Romney for more tax records. The media will be sorry for the free ride they gave him when they lose the first amendment after the second amendment falls. They will finally realize that it was the 2nd amendment that gives us all of the others.
 
I think his records are sealed because he failed math, and social studies and probably history and home economics.

Just my opinion since he has very little practical sense of it.
