Executive Orders/Totalitarian
Posted: Jul 23, 2015
We are supposed to be a republic with checks and balances. Allowing executive orders, places the president in a position of a dictator. Is that what we really want for our country? Presidents of both parties have had their puppet strings pulled by the powers that be and they have issued executive orders that trample the rights of the individual. If I hear somebody call us a democracy again, I will scream. Democracy is mob rule. A republic is supposed to respect the rights of the individual. In short, in a democracy (mob rule), if the mob wants your private property for a park or whatever, they win. Something to think about. If we elect a president expecting him or her to do something that bypasses the checks and balances, we are electing a dictator. Candidates promise what they are going to do as president. So, they are thinking of themselves in the context of a dictator! Presidents are supposed to make recommendations to Congress who then takes action. So, if the president does not like what Congress has done, he or she vetoes. Hmmm Dictator again.

So by your reasoning, Ronald Reagan was a dictator. - smh
[ In Reply To ..]After all, he issued more executive orders than Barack Obama.
Obama declared he'll do what he wants despite the will - of Congress. Reagan never
[ In Reply To ..]did that. Poor Obama, blaming Reagan for all his failures. How petty.
Reagan just didn't admit to EO--maybe he didn't - remember?
[ In Reply To ..]President Obama's declaration was a "wake up" call to Congress that they would either start working with him or it would be necessary. Not nearly as devious as the others just making the EO as their right.
Yeah, Alzheimer's is hilarious. - nm

Since when has Obama cared about the Constitution? - It only gets in his way of his
[ In Reply To ..]corrupt and powerful dictatorship. He especially hates the second amendment.
He calls the Bill of Rights negative rights, meaning anti-gvt. - Remember, resistance to tyranny
[ In Reply To ..]s obedience to God.
Seriously, that was at one going to be on the Seal of the US.
Reagan never did that! He skipped the declaring part and just did what he wanted. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Reagan did worse! Can you imagine the scenario of Reagan asking? OMG! My dear Congress: I would like to arm Iran in exchange for hostages and ignore the trade embargo, and then I would like to take the proceeds from the sale to our enemies, yes *that* Iran, and fund the Nicaraguan Contras in direct violation of the Boland Amendment. Israel will actually give Iran the weapons, and then we'll resupply Israel and..... What? Have I lost my what?"
Of course Reagan never declared he'd do what he wanted despite the will of Congress because he didn't bother to take that step; he just did what he wanted without the permission of Congress AND without telling them. Under the Boland Amendment, any further funding of the Nicaraguan Contras by the government had been strictly prohibited by Congress. No problem, though, because the Reagan administration sold arms to Iran (even though there was an arms embargo) so they could secure the release of several US hostages and use that money to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Why bother telling Congress. Israel was the middle man, what a concept!
This poster said: "Poor Obama, blaming Reagan for all his failures. How petty."
The pettiness is manufactured here since Obama never blamed Reagan for anything. A poster pointing out Cons' hypocrisy or trying to educate by posting does not somehow magically equal Obama blaming Reagan. ROTFLMAO!
Presidential dictators - Lee
[ In Reply To ..]Yes. Every president who has used the option of executive orders is operating in the capacity of a dictator. Check all the executive orders over the years. There are no exceptions. See this site for the number of executive orders issued by our presidents. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/table-every-presidential-executive-order/
