Nearly 240 years ago the United States declared war against a monarchy. It appears Barack Obama is now intent on rebuilding his own version of an executive powers monarchy in the coming months…
(The above photo is sadly a lot closer to reality than many Americans would wish to believe.)

Obama’s dangerous charge of ‘absolutism’
…One of the most remarkable and frightening aspects of President Barack Obama’s inaugural address was his dismissal of his opposition – presumably the House Republican caucus – as “absolutists” who are without “principle.”
…Once the president’s opponents have been defined in the American mind as despotically inclined, unsusceptible to reason, and unwilling to play by the normal rules of politics, it is only natural that extreme measures are permitted in response.
This White House has already shown a propensity toward ruling by executive fiat – whether by executive action that effectively enacts rejected legislation, by refusing to enforce existing law, or by crafting rules for legislation to grant vast new powers to bureaucrats.
…That reporters have been tapped to assist with Obama’s incipient GOP demonization campaign was made clear this week by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, who in the handful of days since the inaugural, has already repeated the “absolutism” charge twice.
…Obama rarely meets with members of Congress, even those of his own party. Not wanting to take the time to legislate, he will now turn to demonizing Congress and making end runs around them.
Once Obama has succeeded in rendering his opponents illegitimate and circumventing them with executive power, he will have gone at least some way toward having the playing field to himself. And then he will be alone in his absolutism.

Koffler is absolutely right – Barack Obama’s recent inaugural address, followed by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney’s repeated use of the term absolutism in reference to those Republicans who voice any opposition to the Obama agenda, is a clear signal the Obama White House and its cohorts in the Mainstream Media are preparing a massive campaign to delegitimize all conservative opposition in America. The first impact of this effort will be the possibility of Democrats taking back control of the House of Representatives and holding onto its current control of the Senate – a scenario that could prove highly favorable to Barack Obama getting everything he asks for during his last two years in office.
This is the very scenario warned about by Republican Insider weeks ago – it now appears to be fully underway. -UM

“So what happened that day at the gas station? The day you killed that man?”
Mac removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes before putting them back on, his stare returning to the wall of photos.
“I pulled in…saw a large black man beating a woman. Black woman. He was beating the shit out of her too. Closed fist. Had her by the hair, screaming down at her. I could see her mouth was all busted up…an eye that looked like it might be ready to pop out of her head. Not a pretty sight. I’d seen a lot worse, but not stateside. That guy was going to kill her right there in the parking lot. So I just did what comes natural in that situation…what I was trained to do. Nothing less – nothing more.” LINK
My grandmother was old school Democrat. I am glad she is not around to see what has happened to her party.
And there are days I wonder if I shouldn’t just check out now because I have to sit her and watch this wonderful country destroyed back to the stone age.
God help us.
Should such “EXECUTIVE ORDERS” occur,,,,it is at that point,we’ll find out WHAT the FEW (GOOD MEN)that are left in Congress are mode-of…
I apologize,,,”MADE-OF”…Is how it is supposed to read…
Just remember the old axiom about ‘the harder they fall’, which he will undoubtedly. He has overreached too many times.
This video is very disturbing!! Our Liberties are being eroded right before our eyes!! Social Media is constantly being scanned for our information, tracking our every move & we are not even the terrorist!
Judge Andrew Napolitano is one of the narrators of this 32 min video
“The government has declared it can lock anyone up forever or kill them without any proof or due process. ‘DHS’ has placed an order for …..450 million rounds of Hollow Point ammo…… Obama can now declare martial law during peace time. I think that just about says it all.”

Love the picture, UM. Little Barry Foo-foo just doesn’t look comfortable or fit in anywhere, does he? He’s so confused, poor thing.
Since Ulsterman is calling this article “RI related”, I’d like to ask him to relay a little something to the “Republican Insider”:
REPUBLICAN INSIDER —> I don’t know what-in-hell the GOP is doing. I don’t know what-in-hell the GOP stands for. (“Not much”, from what I can see.) But I can tell you ONE THING FOR SURE: If the Republicans in both Houses don’t get their act together and start FIGHTING the diktats of this demonstrably anti-American administration –as opposed to the phony-baloney talk I’m hearing from Boehner & the other alleged party “leaders” about how they “regret” the way they handled the last round of negotiations (ie “play dead”), and the negotiations before that (amazingly, that was also “play dead”), and the negotiations before that (well color me surprised, it was “play dead” YET AGAIN!), you can rest assured you GOP do-nothings will never get another dime -or another vote- from me.
Since the conservatives I talk politics with seem to share my frustration with the Grand-Old-Party-Of-Nothing-Much, I can confidently say there’s a BIG BOATLOAD of voters who have HAD IT and are fed up with Republican leadership.
DAMMIT, STAND UP FOR OUR COUNTRY AND OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR RIGHTS.
Cut out the secret “back-room” negotiations. Stop “feeding the crocodiles” of this administration, hoping you can temporarily appease them. (You can’t–they’re Alinskyites. Duh!) Don’t agree to cave on “X” for the short term in exchange for “Y” over the course of a decade. (“I’ll gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today” was an old joke 75 years ago — am I supposed to believe our crackerjack Republican negotiators are still falling for that line? “Complicit” seems more likely.)
PS: We’re persuaded by actions, not words, so knock off the weaselly speechifying about how you’re trying so hard, you only control one House, blah-blah-blah. We want RESULTS, and, fellas, we’re NOT GETTING ANY. Shape up, or the GOP is history.
(And, sadly, if You-Who-Represent-Us can’t find the will to act, America will be history, too…)
