Congress passed a bill which essentially puts a muzzle on the Obama Administration’s repetitive violations of the law; particularly the U.S. Constitution.  The “Enforce the Law Act”, HR 4138 was sponsored by Trey Gowdy (R. S.C.), and would authorize the House of Senate to sue the executive branch for not enforcing laws and provide expedited processing through the federal courts.  The bill is one of several the House GOP are pushing to stop Obama’s “imperial presidency”.

Despite Republicans sitting on their hands and refusing to stop Obama’s decimation of the U.S. Constitution, they appear to have suddenly mustered an election season blast of energy to do something for the voters they pretend to be obligated to.  This legislation is a great score for the Republicans, but we should not forget the damage the do-nothing Republicans have caused by letting Obama rape the country from the Oval office.  At minimum, Obama deserves to be impeached.

We must also remember the damage caused by the Republicans for allowing Obama to unilaterally alter Obamacare on 20 separate occasions, giving millions an exemption from the individual mandate; at the same time allowing the insurance companies to collect their legislated fee guarantees.   Essentially, Obama cut the potential revenue by exempting millions, and despite the program being dependent on insurance premiums from everyone, if there’s a “loss”, the insurance companies are guaranteed to get paid regardless.  The government picks up the tab.  Obama would never know to think through this because he’s not a businessman; he’s a community organizing communist.

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) said the Obama administration has “ignored” the Constitution.

“From Obamacare to welfare and education reform, to our nation’s drug enforcement and immigration laws, President Obama has been picking and choosing which laws to enforce,” he said. “In place of the checks and balances established by the Constitution, President Obama has proclaimed that ‘I refuse to take ‘no’ for an answer’ and that ‘where [Congress] won’t act, I will.’”

“Throughout the Obama presidency we have seen a pattern: President Obama circumvents Congress when he doesn’t get his way,” Goodlatte said.

Democrats called the vote a “sham”, but we consider the source, as these are the same democrats who think Benghazi is a conspiracy theory and that Obama’s birth certificate on WhiteHouse.gov is real.

WND EXCLUSIVE

Heat turned up on Obama's IRS minion

House panel preparing vote to censure Lois Lerner

 

NEW YORK – The Republican-controlled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has now taken steps to focus on former IRS official Lois Lerner as the culprit in the administration scandal that targeted conservative organizations.

The committee is preparing the path for a vote to censure Lerner, the former director of tax-exempt organizations at the IRS, for taking the Fifth Amendment a second time after initially agreeing to testify at a committee hearing March 5, according to a the 141-page report released by committee Tuesday.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the committee chairman, said the majority report “offers detailed evidence about steps Lerner took to crack down on organizations that exercised their constitutional rights to free speech.”

The report, “Lois Lerner’s Involvement in the IRS Targeting of Tax-Exempt Organizations,” concluded that the committee’s investigation of Lerner’s “role in the IRS’s targeting of tax-exempt organizations found that she led efforts to scrutinize conservative groups while working to maintain a veneer of objective enforcement.”

Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, said the “maliciousness and corruption of former IRS official Lois Lerner are now clear.”

The ACLJ currently represents 41 organizations involved in a federal lawsuit challenging the IRS.

“This report underscores what we have known for many months now,” Sekulow said.

The committee said its report makes clear “the extent to which Lerner acted to ensure that the agency intentionally waged a battle against conservative 501(c)(4)’s, violating their rights of freedom of speech and association, because it had an ideological disagreement with the Supreme Court and with the Tea Party.”

“It’s not the job of the IRS to overrule the Supreme Court, and it’s not the job of the IRS to crush political movements its leaders dislike,” the committee said. “Her deep involvement in this scheme raises even more questions about who else was involved – including at the White House.”

The House committee staff report clearly indicated Lerner was responding to political pressure from Democrats in Congress to clamp down on conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status in the wake of the 2012 Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

“Through emails, documents and the testimony of other IRS officials, the committee has learned a great deal about Lois Lerner’s role in the IRS targeting scandal since the committee first issued a subpoena for her testimony,” the staff report noted.

The report’s conclusions were clear.

“She was keenly aware of acute political pressure to crack down on conservative-leaning organizations. Not only did she seek to convey her agreement with this sentiment publicly, she went so far as to engage in a wholly inappropriate effort to circumvent federal prohibitions in order to publicize her efforts to crack down on a particular Tea Party applicant. She created unprecedented roadblocks for Tea Party organizations, worked surreptitiously to advance new Obama Administration regulations that curtail the activities of existing 501(c)(4) organizations – all the while attempting to maintain an appearance that her efforts did not appear, in her own words, ‘per se political.”

The staff report specifically charged Lerner allowed her left-leaning political views to influence her administration of IRS tax-exempt rules and regulations in a partisan manner designed to discriminate against conservative groups mentioning “tea party” or “patriot” in their application for tax-exempt status and in favor of “progressive” groups.

The staff report concluded that from “her days at the Federal Election Commission, Lerner’s left-leaning politics were known and recognized.”

“Even at a supposedly apolitical agency like the IRS, her views should not have been an obstacle to fair and impartial judgment that would impair her job performance,” the report said. “But amidst a scandal in which her agency deprived Americans of their Constitutional rights, a relevant question is whether the actions she took in her job improperly reflected her political beliefs. Congressional investigators found evidence that this occurred.”

WND reported Issa adjourned last week’s hearing after asking only seven questions when Lerner asserted for a second time her Fifth Amendment privilege not to incriminate herself.

On June 28, the House Oversight Committee voted that Lerner had waived her Fifth Amendment privilege by making a voluntary opening statement asserting her innocence at a May 22 hearing.

Prior to the March 5 hearing, Lerner had indicated she would only testify in exchange for a grant of immunity; subsequently, in a series of emails between Lerner’s attorney and committee staff, she agreed to testify openly, but requested a one-week delay for the March 5 hearing.

When Issa adjourned the hearing last week, ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, R-Md., objected with an angry tirade that prompted Issa to have his mic cut off.

“I am a member of the House of Representatives and I am tired of this,” Cummings asserted in an angry voice.

For several minutes after Issa gaveled the hearing to a close, Cummings continued to read his statement into a closed microphone as the hearing room emptied and Lerner sat at the witness table listening.

On Jan. 12, WND reported that the IRS has proposed new rules that would limit the ability of conservative 501(c)4 groups to participate in the mid-term elections this November as they had in 2010, when Republicans grabbed majority control of the House of Representatives.

Last week, WND reported Cleta Mitchell, a leading Washington-based attorney representing a number of grass-roots organizations claiming they were targeted by the IRS, said at the CPAC annual conference of conservatives last week that the Department of Justice had questioned Lerner sometime during the previous six months. However, the department, under Attorney General Eric Holder, so far has declined to initiate criminal prosecutions against Lerner or any other IRS officials implicated in the discrimination scandal .

Obama To Pave Way For 30,000 Syrian Islamists To “Resettle” In America

 

30,000 new taxpayer supported refugees (who likely hate us) will be soon be welcomed by our "president" while he simultaneously continues with his very unpopular push to grant amnesty to over 30 MILLION illegal aliens.  What about the already anemic jobs outlook for the MILLIONS of unemployed Americans? Fact of the day: There are currently 3 unemployed Americans for every job opening.*

 In a shocking move that makes counter-terrorism measures worthless, the Obama Administration is working to secure the “resettling” of some 30,000 Syrian Islamists within the United States. Syria’s civil war has displaced thousands of people. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that thousands of Syrians need new countries of residence, and the International Rescue Committee is making sure this happens. With this, the IRC made the audacious statement through Vice President for Public Policy Sharon Waxman, calling on the “US and other countries to open their doors to vulnerable Syrian refugees and notes that resettlement must be an integral part of the humanitarian response.” Forget all counter-terrorism measures that are put into place for the protection of this country. The Muslim Obama Administration will make sure that Syrian Islamists have a new home in America, that no jihadi will be turned away.

The gates of Hell have been opened, thanks to President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and radical progressives across the country. In successfully working to end “racial” profiling, albeit Muslim profiling, the next move is to secure the “settlement” of 30,000 Syrian Islamists within the United States. It won’t be done all at once, but if Obama and his minions of Muslim lovers have there way, at least 30,000 Islamists, and many more, will be calling America their home. For a President that has so openly supported Al-Qaeda in Syria recently, this is their open invitation to make a permanent home in the U.S., all under the guise of a “humanitarian outreach.”

The Wall Street Journal article, which was published on January 10, 2014 and written by Miriam Jordan reports:

U.S. plans to resettle thousands of Syrians displaced by their country’s civil war could hinge on those refugees receiving exemptions from laws aimed at preventing terrorists from entering the country. A U.S. official stated publicly for the first time this week that some of the 30,000 especially vulnerable Syrians the United Nations hopes to resettle by the end of 2014 will be referred to the U.S. for resettlement. More than two million Syrians have fled their country since the war erupted in 2011, creating the worst refugee crisis since the Rwandan genocide, advocates say. About 20 countries, mostly in Europe, have agreed to take 18,000 Syrians, according to United Nations High Commission for Refugees, or UNHCR, the agency charged with referrals. The U.S. has not set a specific target for how many refugees it will resettle. But at a Senate hearing Tuesday, State Department Assistant Secretary Anne Richard said, “We expect to accept referrals for several thousand Syrian refugees in 2014.” Post-9/11 immigration laws designed to keep out terrorists have had the unintended consequence of ensnaring some innocent people. For example, some of the provisions treat providing food or services to rebels—even those supported by the U.S.—as “material support” to terrorism. Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.), a key proponent of refugee resettlement, said the “overly broad” provisions would prevent a Syrian who gave a cigarette or a sandwich to a Free Syrian Army soldier from coming to the U.S. as a refugee.

Somehow, some way, I would hope that this article would be disseminated throughout the land and read by all Americans. No doubt read enthusiastically by those patriots who fully understand the frightful course our country is taking, this essay will nevertheless be ignored by the vast majority of citizens who blissfully go about their lives unaware that their country has been hijacked and that their freedom and liberties are being stolen by the very people that have been entrusted to preserve and protect them. Many of these unenlightened can be characterized quite simply as stupid and ignorant; constituting the vast majority of the Democratic/Socialist/Communist Party’s voting base here in America. They are the clueless who go to the polls and negate the votes cast by the informed voter. They are the brain-washed or brain-dead; the “me first” voters.

Then there are the haters; those who will simply deride and demean this message. These are the spiteful, malevolent Marxist/Communists types, the “give me more” entitlement voters, the social justice aficionados, the intolerant anti-life, anti  Christian crowd, the self-professed victims, the global warming fanatics and the myriad of progressive social engineering freaks and miscreants who are waging a vicious and un-relenting war against traditional American Christian and family values . Theirs  is a nasty “win at all costs” campaign driven by intolerance and hate, deceit, lies, insults and intimidation.

This despicable and ungrateful lot is readily discerned. They are all around you. Simply put they are the Obama androids. They are the herd that refuses to look at the truth, refuses to be intellectually honest, ignores common sense and will never allow facts to illuminate or fertilize their feeble minds lest it interfere or defeat their “at all costs” agenda. These are the true haters of America; they despise the Constitution and the foundational principles upon which this country was founded and they despise you  and any other person who dares get in their way. They are the Obots and they are led by America’s number one enemy: Barack Hussein Obama, purported 44th president of the United States and the principle conspirator and perpetrator of the greatest crime ever committed against the American people.

In the media some of the more notable bootlickers are Chris Mathews, Eugene Robinson, David Corn, Juan Williams, Andrea Mitchell, Donna Brazile, Chris Hayes, Candy Crowley, Savannah Guthrie, George Stephanopoulos, Barbara Walters, Ed Schultz, Keith Olbermann , Anderson Cooper, Al Sharpton, Lawrence O’Donnell , Arianna Huffington, Oprah Winfrey and Melissa Harris Perry; for that matter  anyone and everyone at MSNBC. Actually there are literally hundreds if not thousands of these media frauds. They lack a personal sense of ethics and moral responsibility. They are incapable of maintaining any allegiance and loyalty to the citizens; they are incapable of accuracy and truthfulness. They are hypocrites of the highest order, blinded by skin color and their socialist/new world order agenda; they are undoubtedly the biggest reason why the truth about Obama’s identity has not been widely reported  in the mainstream media. There are others who are culpable in this massive cover-up but the mainstream media outlets and these so called journalists have done a masterful job of hiding the truth from the American masses. Shame on them. And then there are the Mark Levin and Bill O’Reilly types who posture and pontificate as they too in their own way provide cover for the illegitimate Obama.

More on the media in a following essay.

The sad reality is that Mr. Obama is a 100% certifiable fraud. He is not who he says he is and he is undoubtedly not constitutionally qualified to be POTUS. The hard truth is that he has usurped the presidency and created a national security crisis of unfathomable proportions. Obama’s crimes and overt anti-American policies threaten America’s very existence and increasingly embolden our enemies and endanger the safety and welfare of all her citizens.

Lt. Cdr Walter Fitzpatrick eloquently and accurately characterized Obama’s ascension to power in a 2009 complaint conveniently ignored by the courts and by Obama himself:

“you [Mr. Obama] have broken in and entered the White House by force of contrivance, concealment, conceit, dissembling, and deceit. Posing as an imposter president and commander in chief, you have stripped civilian  command and control over the military establishment. Known military criminal actors – command racketeers – are now free in the exercise of military government intent upon destruction of America’s constitutional government.”

Fitzpatrick continued: We come now to this reckoning. I accuse you [Obama] and your military-political criminal assistants of TREASON. I name you and your military criminal associates as traitors. Your criminal ascension manifests a clear and present danger. You fundamentally changed our form of government. The Constitution no longer works.

But what is even more dismaying is the fact that everyone in Congress; every single congressperson and senator knows full well that Obama is a phony. I know that because the concerned, law-abiding, freedom-loving American citizens have actually provided irrefutable evidence of Obama identity fraud and his violations of the law to their so-called representatives time and time again; via letters, faxes and town-hall confrontations. Yes, every member of Congress has been put on notice by their constituents and yet these so-called “servants of the people” have done nothing! They refuse to address the issue. They refuse to uphold their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. In fact they have tried to deflect or marginalize the issue with disinformation and outright lies; some have literally hid and run from constituents and many have actually scoffed and insulted citizens when confronted face to face with the people they are supposed to be working for. The audacity of these politicians is breathtaking. These incidents are frequent and well documented. These politicians are a disgrace and they are not fit to serve the American people.

Now for those who do not know the Obama fraud issue thoroughly and sadly there are many millions who do not (thanks to the lap dog media), let’s apply some common sense, some intellectual honesty and some hard facts as we lay out the truth. Please note that everything stated here can be substantiated by you the reader. If you should have any doubts, I implore you to fact check and  research yourself. The information is out there; do not take my word. Trust but verify.

The indisputable, irrefutable fact is that the putative president of the United States, the man known as Barack Hussein Obama, is a FRAUD. He is not who he says is and his agenda is patently un-American, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-life, divisive, dishonest and intended to do destroy the founding principles that are the underpinning of a free and prosperous society. If you disagree, then you have not been paying attention. It’s going on every day; right in front of your very nose. For those who actually have paid attention it is both obvious and horrifying. Meantime the Congress and the media ignore as  our country is being systematically destroyed.

OBAMA IDENTITY FRAUD – THE THREE “BIGGIES” ANYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND

Simply put, there is a trinity of obvious identity crimes that provide the basic foundation and clearest understanding of Barack Hussein Obama’s serial identity fraud and phony life narrative:

1.  Obama’s birth “certificates” both short form and the long form released by Obama on April 27, 2011 and currently posted on whitehouse.gov are obvious and easily provable forgeries;
2.  Obama’s purported selective service registration card (a requirement for Obama’s employment in the federal government) is an obvious and easily provable forgery, manufactured in 2008;
3. . Obama’s SSN used on his recent tax returns does not belong to him. It was issued to a man born in 1890. Furthermore there are dozens of other SSN numbers associated with his name.

STOP right there. Doesn’t this give you pause to wonder why the POTUS has completely bogus identity documents? AKA Obama has a forged birth certificate and forged selective service registration card AND is using the SSN of someone else? This is criminal. The “common citizen” would be prosecuted and punished. Is it not reasonable and fair for people to ask why? How can this be? Is an investigation not warranted? Of course it is. It’s common sense. The Obots however are only blinded by skin color and ideology. Common sense and facts are something they cannot and will not address.

I’ll say it again. Obama has phony identity papers. Plain, pure and simple. If you’re honest with yourself, discerning and open minded you will come to the same conclusion. If you do not wish to stipulate to the truth of these contentions, I would urge you to get off your duff and do the research yourself. Prove the Birthers wrong . However, I warn you will be wasting your time. It cannot be done. And it is for that very simple reason that this issue continues to fester and will not go away.

Americans who care about the Constitution, the rule of law, fair elections, freedom and liberty, have seen the facts, know the truth and will not cower and slink away and watch America be destroyed by this illegitimate Communist cabal.

Because common sense and facts dictate it, more and more people are learning the truth about the contemptible fraud in the White House and his evil anti-American policies. As Samuel Adams said: It does not take a majority to prevail…but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

Freedom-loving Americans who recognize what is at stake, who understand the truth and recognize that our government is one built now on lies and corruption, have lit the brushfire. Those flames of truth and freedom are now spreading rapidly. It is time to join the fight and continue to fan those flames. We cannot afford to allow Obama tyranny to quench the fires of freedom. The future of your children and grandchildren and in fact America’s very survival is at stake.

Obama FCC plan for monitors in newsrooms, 1984 telescreens, FCC no jurisdiction over cable news or print publications, ACLJ petition, Big brother is watching you,Obamathink

“kept his back turned to the telescreen. It was safer, though, as he well knew, even a back can be revealing. A kilometre away the Ministry of Truth, his place of work, towered vast and white above the grimy landscape.”…George Orwell “1984″
“His earlier thought returned to him: probably she was not actually a member of the Thought Police, but then it was precisely the amateur spy who was the greatest danger of all. He did not know how long she had been looking at him, but perhaps for as much as five minutes, and it was possible that his features had not been perfectly under control. It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself — anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called.”…George Orwell “1984″

“My starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice. When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art’. I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.”…George Orwell essay 1946

Once again, we warned you beginning early in 2008.

Still don’t believe that the Obama camp has embraced the totalitarian tactics that George Orwell warned of in “1984?”

A passage from “1984.”

“With the deep, unconscious sigh which not even the nearness of the telescreen could prevent him from uttering when his day’s work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. Then he unrolled and clipped together four small cylinders of paper which had already flopped out of the pneumatic tube on the right-hand side of his desk.

In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages, to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winston’s arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.

Winston examined the four slips of paper which he had unrolled. Each contained a message of only one or two lines, in the abbreviated jargon — not actually Newspeak, but consisting largely of Newspeak words — which was used in the Ministry for internal purposes. They ran:

times 17.3.84 bb speech malreported africa rectify

times 19.12.83 forecasts 3 yp 4th quarter 83 misprints verify current issue

times 14.2.84 miniplenty malquoted chocolate rectify

times 3.12.83 reporting bb dayorder doubleplusungood refs unpersons rewrite fullwise upsub antefiling

With a faint feeling of satisfaction Winston laid the fourth message aside. It was an intricate and responsible job and had better be dealt with last. The other three were routine matters, though the second one would probably mean some tedious wading through lists of figures.

Winston dialled ‘back numbers’ on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes’ delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, as the official phrase had it, to rectify. For example, it appeared from The Times of the seventeenth of March that Big Brother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the South Indian front would remain quiet but that a Eurasian offensive would shortly be launched in North Africa. As it happened, the Eurasian Higher Command had launched its offensive in South India and left North Africa alone. It was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother’s speech, in such a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened. Or again, The Times of the nineteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today’s issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong. Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones. As for the third message, it referred to a very simple error which could be set right in a couple of minutes. As short a time ago as February, the Ministry of Plenty had issued a promise (a ‘categorical pledge’ were the official words) that there would be no reduction of the chocolate ration during 1984. Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty at the end of the present week. All that was needed was to substitute for the original promise a warning that it would probably be necessary to reduce the ration at some time in April.

As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames.

What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the pneumatic tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs — to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place. The largest section of the Records Department, far larger than the one on which Winston worked, consisted simply of persons whose duty it was to track down and collect all copies of books, newspapers, and other documents which had been superseded and were due for destruction. A number of The Times which might, because of changes in political alignment, or mistaken prophecies uttered by Big Brother, have been rewritten a dozen times still stood on the files bearing its original date, and no other copy existed to contradict it. Books, also, were recalled and rewritten again and again, and were invariably reissued without any admission that any alteration had been made. Even the written instructions which Winston received, and which he invariably got rid of as soon as he had dealt with them, never stated or implied that an act of forgery was to be committed: always the reference was to slips, errors, misprints, or misquotations which it was necessary to put right in the interests of accuracy.

But actually, he thought as he re-adjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connexion with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connexion that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. For example, the Ministry of Plenty’s forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at one-hundred-and-forty-five million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than one-hundred-and-forty-five millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot. And so it was with every class of recorded fact, great or small. Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain.

Winston glanced across the hall. In the corresponding cubicle on the other side a small, precise-looking, dark-chinned man named Tillotson was working steadily away, with a folded newspaper on his knee and his mouth very close to the mouthpiece of the speakwrite. He had the air of trying to keep what he was saying a secret between himself and the telescreen.”

From TheBlaze February 19, 2014.

“Obama Administration’s Plan to Study Newsrooms Is Drawing Plenty of Public Opposition”
“A plan by the Federal Communications Commission to study how news organizations select stories has prompted about 10,000 people to sign a petition demanding: “no government monitors in newsrooms.”

That’s according to the American Center for Law and Justice, which announced the petition Wednesday and said it reached that number within the first two hours.

Obama Administrations Plan to Study Newsrooms Is Drawing Plenty of Public Opposition

The FCC announced a Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs last year, saying that it wanted to understand the process of which stories are selected, station priorities, content production, populations served, perceived station bias and perceived percent of news dedicated to each of the “critical information needs” in a community, Fox News reported.

But Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ, a conservative legal group, said he worries it could be used to intimidate certain news organizations into covering issues that government officials feel are important.

“This is an extremely troubling and dangerous development that represents the latest in an ongoing assault on the Constitution by the Obama administration,” Sekulow said in a statement. “We have seen a corrupt IRS unleashed on conservatives. We have seen an imperial president bypass Congress and change the law with executive orders.”

The FCC only has jurisdiction over the broadcast industry, not over cable news or print publications. Networks, local stations and most radio stations would be subject to evaluation.

“Now we see the heavy hand of the Obama administration poised to interfere with the First Amendment rights of journalists,” Sekulow said. “It’s clear that the Obama administration is only interested in utilizing intimidation tactics – at the expense of Americans and the Constitution. The federal government has no place attempting to control the media, using the unconstitutional actions of repressive regimes to squelch free speech.””

Dear Conservative,

The United States has never had a more tyrannical and overreaching President! He has absolutely no respect for the law or the Constitution and he can only be classified as a criminal!

In his 2014 “Year of Action,” President Obama has promised to go around Congress and act alone whenever possible. Rather than work with Congress, Barack Obama intends to rule the country by executive fiat.

The response in Congress has been startling. When Obama promised during his State of the Union to circumvent Congress with unconstitutional executive orders, Members of Congress actually stood up and cheered. Instead of fulfilling their Constitutional duties to write the law, Democrat Congressmen have actually begun drafting executive orders for the President to sign instead…

That’s right, instead of introducing legislation for Congress to debate and vote on, Democrats are drafting executive orders for the President to sign directly. Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D) says that the “[Democrat] caucus will put us on the right path and we’ll give President Obama a number of executive orders that he can sign with pride and strength.” The Democrats intend to make this their number one priority, Lee explains, and she urges her colleagues to “write up these executive orders — draft them, of course — and ask the president to stand with us…”

The Democrats plan to push through a number of their most progressive policies by completely going around Congress. This is blatantly unconstitutional! What is even worse is the fact that Obama and the Democrats don’t seem to even care… They believe that they are above the law and that they can’t be touched…

They are wrong! They are NOT above the law!

Thankfully, the Constitution provides We the People with a means to stop this tyrannical President! We must force Congress to impeach President Barack Obama before it is too late!

Take Action! Tell Congress to Impeach, Convict, and Arrest Barack Hussein Obama for high crimes committed against the American People and our Constitutional Republic!

Just two months into his “Year of Action” when he intends to rule by executive fiat, Obama has issued a number of executive orders and directives that are neither constitutional nor logical. In many cases, the Supreme Court has already ruled that the President does not have the authority to do what he is doing. Yet, Obama continues on, daring you to stop him…

The year began with Obama promising to sign Executive Order 13658 to increase the minimum wage for Federal contractors. This is unconstitutional! The Supreme Court has already ruled in Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. v. Sawyer that “the President’s power, if any, to issue the [executive] order must stem either from an act of Congress or from the Constitution itself.” The Court elaborates, explaining that “when the President takes measures incompatible with the expressed or implied will of Congress, his power is at its lowest ebb.” Given the fact that Congress set the minimum wage and has yet to adjust it, any attempt by Obama to increase the minimum wage without Congress is blatantly unconstitutional!

Next, the Obama administration unilaterally delayed Obamacare’s Employer Mandate for the second time! This marks the 28^th time that Barack Obama has unconstitutionally changed, altered, or delayed elements of the Affordable Care Act. How do we know this was unconstitutional? Well, the Supreme Court has also ruled on this issue as well! The Supreme Court ruled in Clinton vs. City of New York that the President does not have the Constitutional authority to alter a law or statute, explaining that “there is no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the President to enact, to amend, or to repeal statutes.” The Affordable Care Act explicitly says that the Employer Mandate must go into effect on Jan. 1, 2013, however thanks to Obama’s lawlessness, this part of the law has been delayed until 2016. This is completely unconstitutional!

Last year, when Congress refused to pass Obama’s DREAM Act, which would have legalized illegal aliens brought into this country as children, the President implemented the program anyway by ordering his administration not to deport any young illegal aliens. Now, Democrats are encouraging Barack Obama to extend this executive order to ALL illegal immigrants in the country! With one signature, Obama could order his administration to cease prosecuting illegal immigrants all together! Barack Obama must be impeached, and it should have happened years ago!

Take Action! Tell Congress to Impeach, Convict, and Arrest Barack Hussein Obama for high crimes committed against the American People and our Constitutional Republic!

Congress is starting to hear us. Both Republicans and Democrats recognize that the President’s executive orders and directives are “lawless” and “blatantly unconstitutional.”

Sen. Mike Lee has been one of the most vocal opponents of Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders. On Obama’s decision to delay the Employer Mandate again, Lee criticized the action as “a shameless power grab” and that the “Constitution doesn’t give the President that power.”

What does Mike Lee intend to do about this? Nothing!

On a recent Sunday morning talk show, Sen. Mike Lee agreed that Obama’s executive directives were tyrannical and lawless, but the Senator admitted that “little can be done about it.”

Little can be done about it? What on earth is Mike Lee talking about?

The GOP has been touting the fact that 100 Congressional Republicans have signed onto the Stop This Overreaching President (STOP) Resolution. What the GOP doesn’t understand is that the American people don’t want a weak, unenforceable resolution that will eventually die in the Senate, anyway. The American people don’t want Congress to just act for the sake of acting.

There is only one way to definitively stop Barack Obama’s tyranny and the Constitution exclusively empowers Congress to do so through impeachment proceedings. Only Congress can stop Obama, yet they don’t even want to consider that measure! The founders didn’t intend for ‘impeachment’ to be a taboo subject. The impeachment provision of the Constitution is designed as a mechanism for the American people and their representatives in Congress to stop a tyrannical and overbearing executive.

Just two months into the year, Obama’s actions in 2014 alone warrant impeachment proceedings. Impeachment provides an opportunity for the President to answer to the American people directly. Yet, we aren’t only looking at what the President has done this year… Obama has five previous years of unconstitutional executive orders and actions that pale in comparison to his recent efforts.

How about the fact that Obama gave rifles to Mexican drug cartels, who then used them to kill an American border patrol agent? That is a blatantly criminal act, yet, like Richard Nixon, Obama exerted executive privilege to keep his administration’s criminal acts classified!

How about the fact that when Americans were being ambushed by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya, Obama told the military to “stand down” and just let them die?

How about the fact that, like Richard Nixon, Barack Hussein Obama used the IRS to target and silence his political opponents?

The President has asserted that he possesses the authority to spy on your phone calls without warrant, infringe on your second amendment rights without cause, and assassinate American citizens abroad without due process!

This is tyranny and Congress must impeach Barack Obama now!

Take Action! Tell Congress to Impeach, Convict, and Arrest Barack Hussein Obama for high crimes committed against the American People and our Constitutional Republic!

A recent Economist poll finds that 71% of Obama voters regret voting for the President. It is no surprise that Obama’s approval rating is lower than ever. The American people overwhelmingly disagree with the President on every one of his policy proposals, yet the President continues to press on with his unpopular agenda. So, the American people voted for Congressmen and Senators who represent their interests. Instead of accepting that he is a lame-duck President, Barack Obama has pledged to go around Congress to unconstitutionally implement his agenda.

Congress has an obligation to impeach, convict, and arrest this criminal President. That much is true. But, you also have an obligation to force Congress to act! You have a duty to hold Congress’ feet to the fire and refuse to accept anything short of impeachment and conviction!

Over the past week, more Congressmen and Senators have come out and voiced their support of impeachment proceedings. The candidates running to replace retiring and vulnerable legislators are deliberately making impeachment a part of their platforms. Why? Because the American people demand it!

The American people have had enough watching this President violate his oath of office and the constitution! The American people deserve answers. The President must answer for his crimes and only impeachment proceedings can force him to!

Take Action! Tell Congress to Impeach, Convict, and Arrest Barack Hussein Obama for high crimes committed against the American People and our Constitutional Republic!

REPORT: National Guard Forced to Train Against “Second Amendment” Terrorists

It’s becoming painfully obvious what liberal elites think of those of us who are proud to exercise their Second Amendment rights.  To them, we’re all “extremists” and even “terrorists” who, as Obama said in 2008, bitterly cling to our guns and religion.

This type of thinking is becoming common.  In fact, the Ohio National Guard actually just completed an exercise dedicated to training for a domestic terrorist attack from “Second Amendment” extremists.  Unbelievable.

According to a media report, the exercise was based on a scenario in which “[t]wo school employees who are disgruntled over the government’s interpretation of the Second Amendment” conduct an attack at a middle school.

Via Personal Liberty Digest:

The scenario for the Ohio National Guard’s 52nd Civil Support Team training, conducted in January 2013, imagined an incident at a junior high school where, after discovering a dead body (gunshot wounds) and numerous people sickened by ricin and mustard gas poisoning, guardsmen stumble upon a classroom where they discover this:

On the chalk board as well as the tables there were several statements about protecting Gun Rights and Second Amendment rights. Additionally a phone number was written on the chalk board with the label William “the boss” Pierce (USPER), 304-539-6221 Area code for Charleston, WV.

At the time of the training exercise, Portsmouth police chief Bill Raisin boosted the drill, telling WSAZ-TV such scenarios represent “the reality of the world we live in. Don’t forget there is such a thing as domestic terrorism. This helps us all be prepared.”

On Monday, journalism watchdog Media Trackers released its report on the training documents it had obtained, following up with local leaders who were none too happy to be questioned about the drill scenario. From the Media Trackers report:

Scioto County [Ohio] Emergency Management Agency director Kim Carver refused to comment, telling Media Trackers she was “not going to get into an Ohio Army National Guard issue that you have with them.”

Ohio National Guard Communications Director James Sims II suggested Media Trackers was “inferring” from the ONG document’s contents as opposed to “what’s actually in the report.”

After excerpts of the report were read to him, Sims said it was “not relevant” to understand why conservatives may feel unduly targeted by ONG’s training scenario.

“Okay, I’m gonna stop ya there. I’m going to quit this conversation,” Sims concluded. “You have a good day.”

Does that exchange put Media Trackers on some kind of watch list? Hopefully not, because the same report goes on to quote Chad Baus, spokesman for the very active Buckeye Firearms Association, who criticized the government for approaching domestic terrorism from a point of view that regards citizens who know their Constitutional rights as likely terrorists.

“[I]t is a scary day indeed when law enforcement are being trained that Second Amendment advocates are the enemy,” said Baus.

The fact that the government treats those who exercise their constitutional rights as potential terrorists is disturbing and antithetical to everything that Americans believe in.  This trend is being reflected in state gun control laws across the country as well.  We’re seeing big government target those who dare exercise their First Amendment rights as well, as the Obama Administration seeks to punish those who practice their faith in the public sphere.

It’s crucial that we let people know what the government’s attitude is towards pro-gun activists across the country… The “bitter clingers” need to stand together to defend their rights.  We hope you’ll spread the word by sharing this article on Facebook and Twitter.

Breaking: FBI Documents Confirm Existence of Texas Islamic Terror Enclave

Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, February 18, 2014

FBI documents confirm the existence of a Texas Islamic enclave linked to terrorism.
Secret footage obtained by The Clarion Project shows female members of the Islamic group receiving paramilitary training in Islamberg.

The Clarion Project reported:

A Clarion Project investigation has discovered a jihadist enclave in Texas where a deadly shooting took place in 2002. Declassified FBI documents obtained by Clarion confirm the find and show the U.S. government’s concern about its links to terrorism. The investigation was completed with help from ACT! For America Houston.

The enclave belongs to the network of Muslims of the Americas, a radical group linked to a Pakistani militant group called Jamaat ul-Fuqra. Its members are devoted followers of Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, an extremist cleric in Pakistan.

Muslims of the Americas

The organization says it has a network of 22 “villages” around the U.S., with Islamberg as its main headquarters in New York. TheClarion Project obtained secret MOA footage showing female members receiving paramilitary training at Islamberg. It wasfeatured on the Kelly File on FOX News Channel in October. A second MOA tape released by Clarion shows its spokesman declaring the U.S. to be a Muslim-majority country.

A 2007 FBI record states that MOA members have been involved in at least 10 murders, one disappearance, three firebombings, one attempted firebombing, two explosive bombings and one attempted bombing. It states:

“The documented propensity for violence by this organization supports the belief the leadership of the MOA extols membership to pursue a policy of jihad or holy war against individuals or groups it considers enemies of Islam, which includes the U.S. Government. Members of the MOA are encouraged to travel to Pakistan to receive religious and military/terrorist training from Sheikh Gilani.”

The most extremist power any political leader can assert is the power to target his own citizens for execution without any charges or due process, far from any battlefield. The Obama administration has not only asserted exactly that power in theory, but has exercised it in practice. In September 2011, it killed US citizen Anwar Awlaki in a drone strike in Yemen, along with US citizen Samir Khan, and then, in circumstances that are still unexplained, two weeks later killed Awlaki’s 16-year-old American son Abdulrahman with a separate drone strike in Yemen.

Since then, senior Obama officials including Attorney General Eric Holder and John Brennan, Obama’s top terrorism adviser and his current nominee to lead the CIA, have explicitly argued that the president is and should be vested with this power. Meanwhile, a Washington Post article from October reported that the administration is formally institutionalizing this president’s power to decide who dies under the Orwellian title “disposition matrix”.

When the New York Times back in April, 2010 first confirmed the existence of Obama’s hit list, it made clear just what an extremist power this is, noting: “It is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for an American to be approved for targeted killing.” The NYT quoted a Bush intelligence official as saying “he did not know of any American who was approved for targeted killing under the former president”. When the existence of Obama’s hit list was first reported several months earlier by the Washington Post’s Dana Priest, she wrote that the “list includes three Americans”.

What has made these actions all the more radical is the absolute secrecy with which Obama has draped all of this. Not only is the entire process carried out solely within the Executive branch – with no checks or oversight of any kind – but there is zero transparency and zero accountability. The president’s underlings compile their proposed lists of who should be executed, and the president – at a charming weekly event dubbed by White House aides as “Terror Tuesday” – then chooses from “baseball cards” and decrees in total secrecy who should die. The power of accuser, prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner are all consolidated in this one man, and those powers are exercised in the dark.

In fact, The Most Transparent Administration Ever™ has been so fixated on secrecy that they have refused even to disclose the legal memoranda prepared by Obama lawyers setting forth their legal rationale for why the president has this power. During the Bush years, when Bush refused to disclose the memoranda from his Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) that legally authorized torture, rendition, warrantless eavesdropping and the like, leading Democratic lawyers such as Dawn Johnsen (Obama’s first choice to lead the OLC) vehemently denounced this practice as a grave threat, warning that “the Bush Administration’s excessive reliance on ‘secret law’ threatens the effective functioning of American democracy” and “the withholding from Congress and the public of legal interpretations by the [OLC] upsets the system of checks and balances between the executive and legislative branches of government.”

But when it comes to Obama’s assassination power, this is exactly what his administration has done. It has repeatedly refused to disclose the principal legal memoranda prepared by Obama OLC lawyers that justified his kill list. It is, right now, vigorously resisting lawsuits from the New York Times and the ACLU to obtain that OLC memorandum. In sum, Obama not only claims he has the power to order US citizens killed with no transparency, but that even the documents explaining the legal rationale for this power are to be concealed. He’s maintaining secret law on the most extremist power he can assert.

Last night, NBC News’ Michael Isikoff released a 16-page “white paper” prepared by the Obama DOJ that purports to justify Obama’s power to target even Americans for assassination without due process (the memo is embedded in full below). This is not the primary OLC memo justifying Obama’s kill list – that is still concealed – but it appears to track the reasoning of that memo as anonymously described to the New York Times in October 2011.

This new memo is entitled: “Lawfulness of a Lethal Operation Directed Against a US Citizen Who is a Senior Operational Leader of Al-Qa’ida or An Associated Force”. It claims its conclusion is “reached with recognition of the extraordinary seriousness of a lethal operation by the United States against a US citizen”. Yet it is every bit as chilling as the Bush OLC torture memos in how its clinical, legalistic tone completely sanitizes the radical and dangerous power it purports to authorize.

Doc discovers Obamacare's shocking, dirty secret

Exclusive: Dr. Lee Hieb's phone call changes everything

 

I am being impacted in many ways by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or, to give credit where credit is due, “Obamacare.” But the most stunning attack on my person came this month in the form of insurance rate hikes.

My older son is 24 years old, a student and in perfect health. He has never smoked, is thin, has totally normal labs, is on no meds and comes from a long line of hearty, healthy stock. It seemed appropriate to pay $47 a month for health insurance.

Then, I just received notice from Coventry Insurance that due to the new health-care law we had to make a choice from three options: 1) We could keep his insurance policy and pay nearly four times as much – $167/month; 2) We could explore a different “ACA compatible” policy; or 3) We could try our luck at the Iowa “marketplace” – i. e. Obamacare state exchange. Each option had its own phone number.

Now I’d rather sell my kid into indentured labor than put him on Obamacare, so I called the number for the new policy. I did the appropriate button pushing but ended up at the state exchange anyway. And I confess after a short conversation with a probable navigator, I hung up the phone, saying there was no way I wanted Obamacare. I also confess that I may have been a bit abrupt, thinking I would never talk to him again. So I dialed the number for option No. 1 – updating the original policy.

To my horror I again landed in the proverbial lap of the same phone navigator – is there only one of these guys for the whole state? So now, I asked more questions and discovered the dirty little secret about those three options: There are not three options of insurance. There is really only one option and only one possible policy. The issue is whether I or the great state of Iowa will be paying the premium!

So let’s be clear. A policy once costing $47 per month – a price many young people or their parents could afford – is now made vastly more expensive ($167 per month), but the price tag is being picked up for the “poor” by the State of Iowa.

Am I the only one who sees a basic flaw in this scenario?

I, one of the few remaining taxpayers, will be paying four times as much for my own insurance and paying taxes for state-subsidized insurance. And this “insurance” for the poor is also four times the actual market value. So, unless I choose to be an under-working deadbeat and go on the government dole myself, I lose financially on every front.

And remember that ACA is an acronym standing for – my fingers are cramping typing this – the “Affordable Care Act.”

Don’t think these increased premiums are increasing any payment to the hospitals and doctors who care for you. We are all taking big cuts. Small hospitals all over the country are teetering on the brink of financial ruin.

Remember when they said you could “keep your doctor”? What they really meant was, you may have to actually keep him – like in your basement. And you may need to bring in a few unemployed hospital administrators and nurses as well.

Anyone with a spare room? Will do surgery for food.

First and foremost I am not defending buttheads actions. OK? Just posting info I found and kinda debunking one of those dopey emails going around so we at FOTM have the smartest readers on the web.  :lol:

We all know Skippy is out of control with the executive orders right? So I received this email yesterday, which was about a 7th forward, and at first glance I said hmmm. Then I said let me check this out, because it seemed a bit high , and the sender has sent me stuff before which has not panned out. My searching was a bit surprising to me. How about you?

Here is the email.

For the SHOCK of your life, take 1 minute to comprehend what you read below. During our lifetimes, all Presidents have issued Executive Orders.  For various reasons, some have issued more than others.  These things will directly affect u.s. all, in years to come.  Question is: Do YOU care enough to send this, ‘shocking info,’ to people you love and others?

NUMBER OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS ISSUED by U.S. Presidents in the last 100 years:

Teddy Roosevelt – 3
All Others until FDR – 0
FDR – 11 in 16 years
Truman – 5 in 7 years
Ike – 2 in 8 years

Bush – 3 in 4 years
Clinton – 15 in 8 years
George W. Bush – 62 in 8 years
Obama – 923 in 3 1/2 years! More than 1000+ and counting Executive Orders in 6 years…
Read some of them below – unbelievable!
Next step -dictatorship. (Looks like we are there already!)

OK so I go poking around and found this list. Snopes verifies , but with their snotty lib slant.

Maybe cause skippy is such a dope and his are so far reaching they seem worse. What do you think.?

General Ham, as head of AFRICOM, personally updated both CIA Director Leon Panetta, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman,General Martin Dempsey, who were already scheduled to meet with President Barack Obama shortly thereafter.  General Ham then met with both Panetta and Dempsey after they apparently held a 30 minute meeting with the president inside of the Oval Office.  This information discredits EVERY SINGLE LIE AND EXCUSE put forth by the Obama White House regarding how they did, and did not, respond to the Benghazi Massacre that killed four Americans, including the first U.S. Ambassador killed in the line of duty in nearly forty years.

Minutes after the American consulate in Benghazi came under assault on Sept. 11, 2012, the nation’s top civilian and uniformed defense officials — headed for a previously scheduled Oval Office session with President Obama — were informed that the event was a “terrorist attack,” declassified documents show. The new evidence raises the question of why the top military men, one of whom was a member of the president’s Cabinet, allowed him and other senior Obama administration officials to press a false narrative of the Benghazi attacks for two weeks afterward.

Gen. Carter Ham, who at the time was head of AFRICOM, the Defense Department combatant command with jurisdiction over Libya, told the House in classified testimony last year that it was him who broke the news about the unfolding situation in Benghazi to then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The tense briefing — in which it was already known that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens had been targeted and had gone missing — occurred just before the two senior officials departed the Pentagon for their session with the commander in chief.

According to declassified testimony obtained by Fox News, Ham — who was working out of his Pentagon office on the afternoon of Sept. 11 — said he learned about the assault on the consulate compound within 15 minutes of its commencement, at 9:42 p.m. Libya time, through a call he received from the AFRICOM Command Center.

Is Obama Using Your Tax Dollars To Fund Democrats?

Barack Obama has become known as the president who ignores the law and does what he pleases.

There are many examples, but the latest is the reboot of the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, formerly known as the Office of Political Affairs (OPA). Previously, the OPA had been closed after illegally pouring tax dollars into congressional campaigns and prohibited activities.

The fact that the OPA is being reopened after these abuses warrants concern. Heck, even Congressman Darrell Issa, the Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has expressed his extreme trepidation about Obama’s latest move.

The congressman is so troubled that he wrote a letter to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel requesting White House documents related to the OPA.

Congressman Issa’s request included “all documents and communications, including emails, between the OSC and the White House referring or relating to the Office of Political Strategy and Outreach or the reopening of the Office of Political Affairs.”

With them, the committee could “effectively consider whether taxpayer money is being used to advance the interests of Democratic congressional candidates and the Democratic Party.”

Issa seems devoted to stopping the criminal activity, but the Obama White House has been legendary in its willingness to stonewall congressional Republicans’ legitimate document requests.

I’ll be watching closely to see if Issa is forced to go to court to get Obama to be compliant. If the courts force the White House to release the documents, it would handcuff Obama’s future efforts to hide the truth.

A Disconcerting Lack of Oversight

Ironically, when Barack Obama was running for president, he complained bitterly about the activities of the OPA during the Bush Administration. Obama stated in 2008 that “the days of using the White House as another arm of the Republican National Committee are over.”

I guess in a way he was right. Rather than comply with the law and reverse what he saw as an injustice, Obama is redirecting the money to the Democratic Party (and candidates) instead!

But frankly, this should’ve never been a problem in the first place.

When I was an employee of the Reagan Administration, we had to attend “Hatch Act” briefings. The Hatch Act of 1939 was passed to forbid federal employees from engaging in forbidden political activities. Primarily, it prohibits federal employees from using their official authority or influence for the purpose of affecting the results of an election.

In these briefings, it was made explicitly clear that using government money for political campaigns was illegal. I guess times change, as it sure seems like the president is trying to make an end run around the Hatch Act prohibitions.

Even The New York Times reported that the White House was reopening OPA because it was “defending Democratic control of the Senate and taking back the House from Republicans.” This constitutes a direct violation of the law!

But since Obama’s team has been having trouble raising money, the honeypot of taxpayer dollars just looks too good to ignore.
