Redress of Grievances

Skip wrote a post here rearding Obama’s ‘Kick Ass’ moment.  As I began typing my ‘comment’ it began to grow into something to long for the format.  So here it is.

I’d sum it up (Obama’s attitude problem as Skip presents it) as an inversion of the first amendment right to redress of grievances.  Obama feels he has the right to complain about everything the people do in objection to his government.  He uses his office and the bully pulpit in a near constant effort to supress opposition.  This is the first stage of becoming someone like Hugo Chavez who has stomped on free speech, used force against opponents, rigged elections, and manipulated his way to president for life-dictator forever status.

 

Obama can’t do that exactly, but he already has made the chess moves that in a weaker country would have put him a lot closer to Chavez than he’ll ever manage in the US.  But he simply needs to get close and let the Bureaucracy be the "president for life" and the rest will come later.

He already uses unions and OFA and ACORN-like groups to exert physical force (intimidation) to achive political will (because that is all he knows). The media has always been more his friend than his enemy.  He has committed to useing the IRS, the EPA, DOE, and whoever else to the same effect which will draw in federal enforcement, local police and regulatory agents to his will by executive order.  And to fund the executive, Obama has already created massive slush funds left for him and his agents to pilfer–which the liberal congress keeps filling back up and leaving at thier discretion.

 

This should chill American people as its own congress is allowing it’s authority to be usurped by the Executive.  But then they have no problem with it as along as it’s their agenda, but this just shows how short sighted liberals really are.  A Republican President with that much power is no less dangerous, which is why the next congress needs to use the one power it will still have after November–the power of the purse.

The next Congress must remove the Executive slush funds-all of them.  They must use the budget to de-fund all the czars and the shadow cabinet officers out of existance.  It must de-fund Obamacare and strip the cabinet department budgets to the bone. (while cutting a few entirely to zero).  And it must do this, not just because of Obama, but because no future president of eany party should be allowed to continue the decades long accumulation of power in the White House.

Obama’s abuses are simply the last best warning to America.  If we fail to act soon, party politics could be the least of our problems.
