Executive Lawlessness is where we are as a republic in 2014, with our elected president operating outside the parameters of the funding principles of our nation; our rule of law.
We are a nation of laws, not of men, and unless this corrected quickly, the future of our once great nation is in great peril.
With our current president, the first indication of his imperial behavior began with the awarding of stimulus finding to the car companies, shafting the bond holders for the benefit of unions breaking long standing contract law, and authority he does not have. Sadly, none of those with the power to restrain this illegal action took action to thwart it.
There are numerous instances of the executive branch targeting political opponents. Among those that quickly come to mind are the following:
*The administration going went hard after
Gibson Guitar over a small issue involving wood importation that was never before found troublesome. Gibson continues to fight back, and is actually scoring some points.
*Federal investigators raided Lumber Liquidators,
LL:NYSE, with the search said to involve special agents from the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Justice. It was suggested the investigation involved its importation of wood products.
*Under the EPA, the administration has
embarked on major land grabs without congressional approval. In addition, extensive action under the false premise of Global Climate Change has been enacted on the citizenry, again, without congressional approval
*The utilization of the IRS by the administration to target conservative organizations through illegal mechanisms hoping to ridicule, hassle and bankrupt, or significantly harm financially, through regulatory action, both legal and illegal.
*Reports have come to light that Friends of Abe, a conservative group in Hollywood,
has been under investigation by the IRS for over two years, underscoring how the
bad the environment is for those who dare to challenge the administration.
With the election in full swing, Obama chief advisor
Valerie Jarrett publicly claimed she would go after opponents of the administration. Without fear of being held accountable for such illegal action, the administration has kept its word.
Recently, an indictment was handed down on filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza for campaign fraud. D'Souza produced an acclaimed movie, 2016; Obama's America, which was not looked upon favorably by the administration,
so this is not viewed as coincidence, rather politcal payback. Because of that, D'Souza had to be stopped; hence the felony indictment, which accuses D'Souza of making improper campaign donations. While I find the work D'Souza has performed as extremely credible, character issues not unlike those of many Americans regarding D'Souza have surfaced, which likely were partially to blame for his recent
resignation as president of Kings College in New York. Given the work D'Souza was engaged in, he should have been recognized the need to keep his life clean and more cognizant of the moving targets of campaign finance laws.
If they want to get, they can find a legal avenue to get it done, particularly under the IRS regulations and laws. Even it your are ultimately found innocent, the financial cost to defend can be staggering, not to mention unmeasurable potentially punitive damage to your or your organizations reputation.
These are just examples of an imperial president who finds Congress a bother, and as an arrogant leader of the political ruling class, governs through executive order against the will of the people, the latter evidenced by the overwhelming unpopularity of the much maligned Obamacare.
While political opponents of Obama are under attack, violators of the the law, seemingly no matter how significant, are not held accountable, not only to the administration, but to our laws. Lois Lerner got promoted after the IRS debacle, but in a travesty of justice, former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, who commingled funds and lost customer in foreign currency arbitrage, walks double fisted in the Hamptons after perjuring himself in kabuki theater hearings in Washington.
Charles Krauthammer has had enough, and eloquently hammered Obama in a
FOX News essay. Please take a listen:
While Krauthhammer is completely correct, the problem is regrettably far deeper than the discussion with Dr. Krauthammer and Judge Andrew Napolitano waded.
What is most concerning are the amount of elected officials who appear to knowingly sanction the executive branch rendering the other branches of government essentially either intimidated pawns or or toothless adversaries. With the balances of power under attack, there is little doubt the Founding Fathers would be appalled at this spectacle of executive arrogance and congressional complicity and or ineptitude.
Senator Ted Cruz, R:TX, who historically has fought for the Constitution against any and all who seek to execute outside its parameters, joined Glenn Beck this morning for an extremely relevant and timely discussion on the absence of rule of law under the Obama administration. Please take a listen:
The issues surrounding Obama and his imperial presidency, the abuse of power and executive lawlessness are staggering, and are an imminent threat to the survival of our country. Abuse of power in this regard should be swiftly dealt with by the people, no matter which party it happens under, evidenced by Sen. Cruz defeating President George W. Bush in court.
Although President Obama was reelected, if the public were able to decipher all the lies misrepresentation he put forth, coupled with extensive abuses of power, there is little doubt he would currently be president.
The principles given us in our founding documents are those we are governed by, not by the whims of an arrogant leader who aims to implement the dreams of his father against the will of our citizenry.
The rule of law is on life support, if not already dea. Sadly, few seem to care, and the executive lawlessness continues.
