We have not declared war on Afghanistan or the Taliban, therefore, we have not business being there. We are not the world's police force. We should not be spending money and lives on "Overseas Contingencies." This is no different than Bush's policies except for a change in terminologies. Walks like a duck, spends like a duck, it's a duck.
"When a government tries to control the economy, it is trying to control people, and people are like cats. Each individual's brain is hard wired to do what the individual wants, not what the government wants."

Exec orders aren't lawful in the first place and they have been abused by many a POTUS, especially by the last one, who manage to weaken our liberties and rights more than any other (look it up). The current POTUS used 16 EO's within his first three and a half months? We need to eliminate the risk of any more of this intolerable behavior.

And... Executive Signing statments must be disallowed for the very same reasons.

Congress is in place as a sanity check right now and while I believe that everyone would like to kick all of them out of office, it's still there job to approve new laws. We must make Congress do its job.
The central provisions of these landmark tax bills are scheduled to expire over the next five years, which means that taxes will rise dramatically for most taxpayers. Between now and January 1, 2011 (five short years away),

•Tax rates will rise substantially in each tax bracket, some by 450 basis points;
•Low-income taxpayers will see the 10-percent tax bracket disappear, and they will have to pay taxes at the 15-percent rate;
•Married taxpayers will see the marriage penalty return;
•Taxpayers with children will lose 50 percent of their child tax credits;
•Taxes on dividends will increase beginning on January 1, 2009;
•Taxes on capital gains will increase, also beginning on January 1, 2009; and
•Federal death taxes will come back to life in 2011, after fading down to nothing in 2010.

Letting these expire will only make the current economic depression worse.

This is ridiculous, but not suprising coming from this Administration.
There is absolutely no authority or legal basis for Presidential Executive Orders, these orders are treasonous in their elementary form and have been the most destructive force in eliminating the U.S. Constitution.

* Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation unlawfully suspended the great Writ of Habeas Corpus
* Franklin Roosevelt was president for a little over twelve years. that time, he issued 3,723 executive orders Franklin Roosevelt closed American banks and force citizens to turn in their gold to a private bank, the Federal Reserve Bank; detention of American citizens of Japanese descent
* 1951, Harry Truman seized Strikethreatened Steel Mills to prevent shortages that would endanger "national security."
* Richard Nixon imposed wage and price controls in 1971
* Jimmy Carter, groomed by the secret Bilderberg organizatoin, created Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) - see U.S. Concentration Camps
* George W. Bush and previous President's Executive Orders go further than Hitler and Stalin dared to put in writing:

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990
allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995
allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997
allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998
allows the government to seize all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports, and waterways.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999
allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000
allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001
allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002
designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003
allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004
allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005
allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051
specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310
grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049
assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11490
Assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921
allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis." FEMA's powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate the:
National Security Act of 1947
allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities.
1950 Defense Production Act
gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy.
Act of August 29, 1916
authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other purpose related to the emergency.
International Emergency Economic Powers Act
enables the President to seize the property of a foreign country or national. These powers were transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979

USE OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS IS TR EASON

And Obama just got started. Think he can top Bush?

Until the U.S. can lock people in the country, all the "rich" will do is move out of the country. Then... we get even fewer in taxing.

Stop the spending madness.

It's obviously being ignored by those who have pledged to uphold it. It's treason.
truth_sets_you_free 9 months ago
Why? All Congress will do is spend it on anything they please as they do now. Taxing the rich is always the answer, right? Give me a break.

This must be satire, because I'm sure you are aware that this would equate to slavery.

House members get a government expense allowance of $1.3 million to $1.9 million a year. Senators get $2.9 million to $4.5 million. They give themselves raises this way.

Amazing, eh?

GMO's should be among the highest of national concerns. I intend to get the Seeds of Destruction book as I have been finding out more and more frightening facts about them and Monsanto. Look up Monsanto, GMO and Fox on YouTube to learn more.

we_spencer: good point! I think we need another one so that the people understand where we're at when they start discussing the Federal Government doing and spending more. There isn't any more.

How would you legislate this to the world?

Refresher: In January 2006, still basking in the glory of her ascension, Pelosi announced a "Clean House Team to Address [the] Republican Culture of Corruption." A press release trumpeted: "It is long past time for the Congress to address the systemic Republican culture of corruption that has undermined the American people's confidence in this institution," Pelosi said. "I am proud that some of the best minds in our Caucus will be leading the Democratic effort to clean up the corrupt Republican Congress. These great leaders will work to restore truth and trust to the People's House." http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=561794

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Where's Pelosi now? Too busy jetting around on our dime and padding her husband's pockets?

P.S. I'm Independent.

So if I get this right, you want the government to help address issues, for which cause it has already set up a department which functions horribly? Welcome to the government. Want some government health care, too?

I'd have to disagree that people aren't any worse than 100 years ago and far more morally bankrupt today. Crime statistics and the horrendous nature of crimes should say something. BTW - 17-year old male just raped and killed an 8-month old baby boy. http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=4067 That goes to our respect for life these days.

I'm middle-aged and I see people doing things and behaving in ways that I could never have imagined when I was much younger. And my 84-year old Grandmother seems in shock about the world today. She always tells me about the way it used to be in her day.

What made us a great nation among nations was the Constitution that our Founders ratified. We're far a field of it now and to our demise, I fear. People in France, England, and Canad are complaining online and/or protesting. Our news doesn't cover it and you have to purposely seek news outside the country to find out. So most do not really want communism/collectivism, and socialism really hasn't worked. America used to work, but the crooks learned how to game the system. We need to throw them all out of office and demand our Constitutional foundation be restored.

I'd personally like to see some more lectures and social moray's pointing us back to traditional values and moral law. America has gone mad.

Obama's dealing with debt from his forbears by borrowing and spending in stealth-mode and quietly raising taxes? Wow - I must have attended a much different economics class than Obama. I wonder why Wall Street hasn't been showing much faith since Obama won the election? And now we have Chinese students laughing at Geitner who tells them that Chinese asset values are safe. Goodness, I can't wait to see what's next. Hoping to get a job with Microsot overseas and watch the madness unfold from the outside.

That bit with him reintroducing people he already introduce was awesome! Without the prompter, he makes Palin look like an Oracle.

Palin cut $80M from Alaska's FY10 budget and is balancing the budget. As opposed to Obama who thinks the way out is to borrow, tax, and spend our way to prosperity. BTW - Alaska has no state income or sales tax.

Obama knows we exist. He's a public servant, he works for us. Although the way he's going, he'll likely be fired.

killerkat911:

Satire:
1 : a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn
2 : trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly

Intelligent peopel often use satire as a way to make a point. I find ricardomigrant absolutely hilarious. I guess that's because I'm intelligent.
truth_sets_you_free 9 months ago
Matthews and Oberman. I tried to watch these guys now and then, but they are so full of nonsense and propaganda that I have to shut them off so I don't wretch. To think of the mind control some of these characters have!

P.S. I don't listen to conservative radio and no longer have Teevee.

waterski2fris: This is called satire.
truth_sets_you_free 9 months ago
Yep, follow the money. There are a lot of elites all set up to make a killing off Cap and Trade. Dot.com, war, housing boom... there always needs to be something to be gamed so the uber rich can pad their pockets.

But global warming sounds like such a worthy fight. How could we be against dealing with it? :-)

Who's programmed? Do you realize who groomed, bought and paid for Obama? You should spend some time doing some research on that. One hints is that most of them are starting to be paid back for their support. Do you know how many Bilderbergers Obama put in his Administration? More than ever before.

I had the same problem. I had to get a different e-mail address and change some wording like treason. Save the link in your browser address bar, because you can still paste it into posts like this. I did that and some people looked it up and still voted on my topic.
This site says that they aren't censoring, but the most definitely are. My initially censored posts:

Outlaw Executive Orders
Keep Bush Tax Cuts
Quotes of Freedom of Speech by Orwell

Oooooooooooooh, how very subersive of me!

Of course you can. If this keeps up, my cat and I will have to move to another country like the CIA after we get married.
