Obama Gives America and Congress the Finger and Grants the Dream Act to Illegals

I spent the last few days in South Carolina’s low country. Family, sun and sand I was barely connected and was blissfully unaware of any of the utter garbage that went on in D.C., Europe or Wall Street. It was hardly a surprise coming home to find our dear leader deciding that he would implement the Dream Act without the people having their say through its lawfully elected representatives. Asshole Obama grants immunity to illegal alien children. He will simply bypass Congress and go through the Department of Homeland Security.

The Dream Act has repeatedly stalled in Congress. Obama had two years to get this thing passed in a Congress that was controlled by his party and couldn’t do it. Now he is simply going to wave his blessed hand and deem it so. The Hill via The Gateway Pundit reported:

The Obama administration announced Friday it will stop deporting illegal immigrants who come to the country at a young age.

The politically charged decision comes as Obama faces a tough reelection fight against Republican Mitt Romney, with Hispanic voters in swing states seen as a key bloc.

The change in policy could allow as many as 800,000 immigrants who came to the United States illegally not only to remain in the country without fear of being deported, but to work legally, according to a senior administration official speaking to reporters Friday.

Obama is set to make a statement at 1:15 p.m. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the new policy Friday morning.

“Young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own as children, who meet several key criteria, will no longer be removed from the country or entered into removal proceedings,” said Napolitano in a conference call with reporters on Friday morning.

You know, this fucking coward never does anything unless it is at the last moment on Friday. He is despicable.

Glenn Beck said on his radio show:

“He’s not trying to get this through Congress. He is just, in a breakthrough fashion, seizing power,” Glenn told listeners. “This is exactly what a dictator does, not an American president. We are a constitutional republic. They don’t do that. He doesn’t have the ability. The Department of Homeland Security doesn’t have the authority to do this. Obama is now stopping all deportations for certain classes of illegal aliens. Essentially he is going to put in place the DREAM Act without dealing with the hassles of debating it, voting it, discussing it, even writing an executive order. He’s just doing it.”[…]

“It’s not even executive order,” Glenn said. “He’s just doing it through the Department of Homeland Security.”

“Meanwhile, Janet Napolitano is telling us that the border is now better than it’s ever been,” he continued. “That is an out and out outrageous lie. This is one of the most important topics of our lifetime what’s happening on the border. It is a war zone. It is worse than a war zone. What’s happening in Pakistan on the border, what’s happening in Iraq on a border is not as bad as what’s happening in our own country on our border.”

Congress needs to wake up. This man is destroying our republic. His reign is a lawless tyranny. Maybe one day more than Tea Party and conservatives will give a shit. The media certainly isn’t going to help.

In closing Beck said it best:

“The cowards in congress won’t deal with it, the cowards in the media won’t deal with it, the cowards in the Oval Office won’t deal with it – President Barack Obama is a coward,” Glenn said.

Indeed.

Idiots at EPA Claim Private Ditches as Part of Navigatable Waterways Under CWA

Feel like adding a garden in your backyard next to that unsightly ditch? Sorry no can do. Seems the EPA wants to regulate ditches and gullies on private property. The assholes claim that the Clean Water Act gives them power to claim the ditch as part of a navigable waterway.

I can’t remember the last time a barge made it up into my backyard via the drainage ditch but I sure wouldn’t want to have my apple trees get in its way.

The EPA has done more to retard the growth of this country than any of the other alphabet soup of government idiocy. Human Events has the sordid details:

Lawmakers are working to block an unprecedented power grab by the Environmental Protection Agency to use the Clean Water Act (CWA) and control land alongside ditches, gullies and other ephemeral spots by claiming the sources are part of navigable waterways.

These temporary water sources are often created by rain or snowmelt, and would make it harder for private property owners to build in their own backyards, grow crops, raise livestock and conduct other activities on their own land, lawmakers say.

“Never in the history of the CWA has federal regulation defined ditches and other upland features as ‘waters of the United States,’” said Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), the ranking committee member, and Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio), chairman of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.

“This is without a doubt an expansion of federal jurisdiction,” the lawmakers said in a May 31 letter to House colleagues.

The unusual alliance of the powerful House Republicans and Democrat to jointly sponsor legislation to overturn the new guidelines signals a willingness on Capitol Hill to rein in the formidable agency.

“The Obama administration is doing everything in its power to increase costs and regulatory burdens for American businesses, farmers and individual property owners,” Mica said in a statement to Human Events. “This federal jurisdiction grab has been opposed by Congress for years, and now the administration and its agencies are ignoring law and rulemaking procedures in order to tighten their regulatory grip over every water body in the country.”

A Bill to Enforce the Constitution – Civil Liberties Act to Neuter NDAA

Isn’t it sad that you have to pass a bill to ensure government recognizes your Constitutional liberties? But that is where we are in these here United States. A few congressmen are giving it another go to try to reign back the powers that the government gave the president in detaining anyone he thinks is a terrorist. The Hill reports:

Four members of the House are trying again to scale back the power of the president to indefinitely detain terrorist suspects, even though the House rejected a similar proposal last month.

Reps. John Garamendi (D-Calif.), Justin Amash (R-Mich.), Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) and House Armed Services Committee ranking member Adam Smith (D-Wash.) introduced the Civil Liberties Act on Friday, which would amend the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed in May.

Last month, these members supported nearly identical language as an amendment to the NDAA, known as the Amash-Smith amendment, but it was rejected 182-231. In that vote, only 19 Republicans voted for it.

Supporters of the bill, H.R. 5936, argue that under the NDAA as approved, the president could declare a U.S. citizen as an enemy of the state and indefinitely detain that person. While opponents say Americans do not lose their right to habeas corpus, or a hearing before the court, supporters say that would not necessarily be enough to save an American from indefinite detention, if it was claimed they were associating with terrorists.

Under the bill, anyone detained on U.S. soil would have all due rights and liberties under the Constitution. The bill would also terminate language in the bill allowing for mandatory military detention in some cases.

Mostly symbolic I suppose as there ain’t no way the President would sign this even if it made it through the Senate. I don’t think the Senate participates in the Republic anymore anyway.

Federal Government Tells Federal Court to Piss Off – NDAA Stands

The National Defense Authorization Act is a heinous piece of tyrannical legislation. It was signed into law on December 31, 2011, by President Barack Obama. New Year’s Eve. Dropped that bitch right in while you were out getting drunk in Times Square. While providing for a budget for the defense of this country, the assholes in Congress, like they always do, snuck in an extra provision. This one is most egregious codifying indefinite military detention without charge or trial.

No citizen in this country could possibly think this is a good thing. If nothing else it violates what remains of the First Amendment. 4th District Court Judge Katherine Forrest agreed ruling the NDAA unconstitutional.

From the Tenth Amendment Center:

The Court: “Assume you were just an American citizen and you’re reading the statute and you wanted to make sure you do not run afoul of it because you are a diligent U.S. citizen wanting to stay on the right side of §1021, and you read the phrase ‘directly supported’. What does that mean to you?”

Government: Again it has to be taken in the context of armed conflict informed by the laws of war.

Court: That’s fine. Tell me what that means?

The Government: “I cannot offer a specific example. I don’t have a specific example.”

After seeing the ridiculous responses the government had given her, and finding that even the government could not define those terms, Judge Katherine Forrest issued her ruling against the NDAA, stating:

“This measure has a chilling impact on first amendment rights.”

She then granted her temporary injunction:

“As set forth above, this Court has found that plaintiffs have shown a likelihood of success on the merits regarding their constitutional claim and it therefore has a responsibility to insure that the public’s constitutional rights are protected.

Accordingly, this Court finds that the public interest is best served by the issuance of the preliminary relief recited herein.”

Doesn’t matter to the Imperial Federal Government of the USSA:

This should be the end of it. This landmark case should be a victory for Americans, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The judge clearly states “the public’s constitutional rights” and “the public interest.” Hey, I’m a part of the public, so I’m protected now!

Not so fast. Our tyrannical government, in one sentence, has chosen to defy a ruling by a federal judge.

“The government construes this Court’s Order as applying only as to the named plaintiffs in this suit.”

Just when you want to believe there are good people in the highest levels of our federal government, statements like this bring you back to reality. The government continued:

“Although the Order fails to comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 58, and the concluding paragraph of the Order is not, on its face, clear as to whom the injunction benefits, the government reads it in light of the well-established principle that courts “neither want nor need to provide relief to nonparties when a narrower remedy will fully protect the litigants”

The government is so in enthralled with their power the will not let a little something like the Constitution stand in the way of their tyrannical desires.

Wisconsin Voters Deliver Fatal Body Blow to Union Thugs and Leftists

Wonderful results from Wisconsin where Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefish destroyed the Union recall effort. This is a big deal and bodes well for further elimination of the leftist agenda as we get closer to November. The media elite tried to make the results seem razor thin throughout the process but in the end Walker, and Kleefish, crushed their Democrat opponents.

Drudge via the AP reports that Walker and Kleefish won again, much to the chagrin of the left.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker beat back a recall challenge Tuesday, winning both the right to finish his term and a voter endorsement of his strategy to curb state spending, which included the explosive measure that eliminated union rights for most public workers.

Hilarious reporting from Breitbart where apparently the City Clerk in the liberal nest of Madison told leftists supporters that they would have better than 100% voter turnout. In fact, dear reader, they were expecting 119%.

A Madison City Clerk has told a Wisconsin radio host that turnout for the area is expected at over 100%, up to 119%. What makes it all the more interesting is that this story comes from a far-left site.

Progressives shrug the 119% figure off as evidence that people are registering at the polls to vote. Considering that Wisconsin has oddly relaxed voter ID laws and a judge granted an injunction against measures that would have protected people’s votes, is it any surprise?

The White House is obviously downplaying the drubbing their party received tonight. The media will help cover the results. Situation normal. Nothing to see here folks. Nothing to see here.

The Tea Party flexed their muscle again. Yep spending was 8 times more for Walker than the opponent. There are hundreds of thousands of people in this country that are awake and ready to support the annihilation of tyranny where ever it may be.

In Aurora Colorado They Are All Guilty Until Proven Innocent

The moron cops in Aurora, CO justified the means for the ends in violating the rights of 19 car drivers as they searched for a bank robber. They stopped every car at an intersection, pulled every adult out of the car and handcuffed them, detaining them until they were sure they had the burglar in custody. Awesome! So every time a crime is committed everybody gets bracelets until they find the culprit.

Drudge Report via ABC News has the details:

Police in Aurora, Colo., searching for suspected bank robbers stopped every car at an intersection, handcuffed all the adults and searched the cars, one of which they believed was carrying the suspect.

Police said they had received what they called a “reliable” tip that the culprit in an armed robbery at a Wells Fargo bank committed earlier was stopped at the red light.

“We didn’t have a description, didn’t know race or gender or anything, so a split-second decision was made to stop all the cars at that intersection, and search for the armed robber,” Aurora police Officer Frank Fania told ABC News.

Officers barricaded the area, halting 19 cars.

“Cops came in from every direction and just threw their car in front of my car,” Sonya Romero, one of the drivers who was handcuffed, told ABC News affiliate KMGH-TV in Denver.

From there, the police went from car to car, removing the passengers and handcuffing the adults.

“Most of the adults were handcuffed, then were told what was going on and were asked for permission to search the car,” Fania said. “They all granted permission, and once nothing was found in their cars, they were un-handcuffed.”

The search lasted between an hour and a half and two hours, and it wasn’t until the final car was searched that police apprehended the suspect.

“Once officers got to his car, they found evidence that he was who they were looking for,” Fania said. “When they searched the car, they found two loaded firearms.”

The actions of the police have been met with some criticism, but Fania said this was a unique situation that required an unusual response.

“It’s hard to say what normal is in a situation like this when you haven’t dealt with a situation like this,” Fania said. “The result of the whole ordeal is that it paid off. We have arrested and charged a suspect.”

The other people who had been held at the intersection were allowed to leave once the suspect was apprehended.

This is such a ridiculous abuse of power and violation of rights…but the sad thing is the herd just went along with it. But hey, it “paid off”. Precedent has been set in that town thanks to Officer Fania. Detain all of them until they prove their innocence.

Nobody told the cops to go screw themselves when they asked to search their vehicle. “Why shouldn’t they search my car? I have nothing to hide.” The first rule of driving is never, ever, allow the cops search your vehicle. They can get a warrant. It’s time we start making these jackboots act like peace officers instead of corrupt jackboots.

NJ Bureaucrats Add More Mindless Regulations – Pet Restraint Required in Vehicles

Add another mindless regulation to the books. This time NJ has decided to fine anyone driving a vehicle and not restraining their animal. How do you restrain a fish? How in the world did citizens in NJ manage to keep their pets alive when traveling in a car without the aid of big government. Not only can you be given a ticket by your local PO-leece but animal control can whip out their handy pad and cite you as well. Fido will no doubt be PISSED when you strap him down in the seat keeping him from wagging his tongue and sniffing the fresh air out the window. This is what busy body government looks like. This is what happens when governments are broke. The Blaze has the story:

Following on the heels of Mayor Bloomberg’s ban on certain sugary drinks in New York City restaurants, a wave of absurd regulations has seemingly begun emanating outwards. In neighboring New Jersey, drivers can be fined up to $1000 for driving with “unrestrained” animals in the car, and the Mayor of Berkeley, California is looking to ban sitting on sidewalks.

According to CBS in Philadelphia, police and animal control officers will be authorized to ticket New Jersey drivers between $250 and $1,000 if they have “unrestrained” animals in the front seat of their car, on the driver’s lap, partially out the window, or even in the back of a pickup truck.

Dogs, apparently, should be placed in harnesses and then buckled in, and cats should go in a carrier which can be subsequently buckled in.

Ray Martinez, the head of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, says it is part of a larger “Click It or Ticket” effort to avoid distracted driving.

“It’s not cute,” he condemned. “It’s actually dangerous for the driver. It’s dangerous for other drivers and it’s dangerous for that pet.”

Ray, you really need to get yourself a real job and stop creating bureaucratic bullshit.

They keep chipping away at freedom. The herd just doesn’t see it.

Blow Up a Toilet – Find Alphabet Soup of Government Tyranny Raiding Your Property

There used to be a time when the local officials would come knock on your door when they thought you were doing something wrong. Blow up, say a toilet, and maybe the local deputy would come out and ask what the hell was going on. Not today. Blow up a toilet and you will find yourself with a whole alphabet soup of hell raiding your property waiting for you to twitch.

It sure is a different time fearing the FBI, ATF and local SWAT parading their military hardware to intimidate the serfs. It’s scary when your government wields this much power. They are not bound by the constitution any longer. The Bill of Rights mean nothing to these asshats. Wither thee America.

Last week 23-year-old Celia Savage of Georgia felt the entire fury of a small army of alphabet coup…for using a homemade pipe bomb to blow up a toilet. She also likes to quote anarchists. All done from her own damn land I might add. The Blaze has the story:

A college student in Georgia is sitting in jail following a raid on her family home by the FBI, ATF and officers from several local law enforcement agencies.

23-year-old Celia Savage has been charged with illegally possessing a destructive device, as well as possession of a firearm while being an unlawful user of a controlled substance. Her father says she is not guilty.

The multi-agency raid was conducted at the family’s home in Cornelia, Ga. on May 30. Ms. Savage was arrested and charged, due to arraigned Friday in federal court. The hearing was postponed to next week. Until then, she remains in jail, held without bond.

The FBI alleges that Ms. Savage admitted to making as many as seven pipe bombs and exploding them as a “hobby.” Until late Friday, there was a YouTube video purporting to show Savage lighting a fuse on a bomb that would explode a commode in the woods.

Today Georgia toilets are safe. I guess the alphabet soup jackboots needed some training or something.

Soft (Drink) Tyranny From the Honorable Nanny of NYC

Mayor Bloomberg has decided what is good for the the residents of New York City. No longer will you get to quench your thirst with a gallon of sugary liquid. Instead he has outlawed the “Big Gulp”. Seems the honorable nanny believes it is his job to decide how much of a liquid you can consume when you go to a movie or stop in for a drink at a restaurant. So the question is who owns your body? If you want to get fat drinking gallons of sugary delight, shouldn’t you have that right? Shouldn’t the vendor be allowed to sell whatever quantity they want?

Your size might not be getting bigger as a result but damn sure the government’s size is.

From Gateway Pundit via Drudge:

Mayor Michael Bloomberg plans to enact a new law to ban large soda drinks from restaurants, theaters and from food carts.
The New York Times reported:

New York City plans to enact a far-reaching ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, movie theaters and street carts, in the most ambitious effort yet by the Bloomberg administration to combat rising obesity.

The proposed ban would affect virtually the entire menu of popular sugary drinks found in delis, fast-food franchises and even sports arenas, from energy drinks to pre-sweetened iced teas. The sale of any cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces — about the size of a medium coffee, and smaller than a common soda bottle — would be prohibited under the first-in-the-nation plan, which could take effect as soon as next March.

The measure would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based drinks like milkshakes, or alcoholic beverages; it would not extend to beverages sold in grocery or convenience stores.

Careful What You Say on Social Networks – DHS is Listening

Sun May 27, 2012 6:36pm

Not surprisingly The Department of Homeland Security is monitoring the social networks for various keywords that might be used by terrorists. If you don’t want your posts monitored it might not be a good idea to use a word like PORK. You might not want to use a word like MEXICO. Or terrorist. Thinking about using a phrase like I “ran out of gas over the bridge as I was leaving San Diego under rain clouds” and you might find yourself getting more scrutiny than you bargained for by the leviathan.

It took a freedom of information request by the Electronic Privacy Information Center to discover what we already knew. That the government is spying on you. Oddly it took a London newspaper to report it. I guess the government didn’t give the department of propaganda, commonly known as the media clearance to report it.

Daily Mail UK has the words you might want to avoid if you would prefer not to have big brother getting interested in your online activities:

The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.

The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as ‘attack’, ‘Al Qaeda’, ‘terrorism’ and ‘dirty bomb’ alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like ‘pork’, ‘cloud’, ‘team’ and ‘Mexico’.

Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats.

The words are included in the department’s 2011 ‘Analyst’s Desktop Binder‘ used by workers at their National Operations Center which instructs workers to identify ‘media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities’.

Department chiefs were forced to release the manual following a House hearing over documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit which revealed how analysts monitor social networks and media organisations for comments that ‘reflect adversely’ on the government.

However they insisted the practice was aimed not at policing the internet for disparaging remarks about the government and signs of general dissent, but to provide awareness of any potential threats.

As the oft quoted Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
