Among a myriad of promises to create and sign laws using his magic executive order pen, the president vowed during last night’s State of The Union Address to pass more strict gun control laws, even if it means bypassing the Congressional process.
“I intend to keep trying, with or without Congress, to help stop more tragedies from visiting innocent Americans in our movie theaters, shopping malls, or schools like Sandy Hook.” Obama said.
“Citizenship means standing up for the lives that gun violence steals from us each day,” he continued. “I have seen the courage of parents, students, pastors, and police officers all over this country who say ‘we are not afraid.’”
Obama’s pledge received an instant response with pro-second amendment groups and Republicans firing back.
”He doesn’t have the constitutional authority to act unilaterally and pass legislation on gun control,” Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann told The Daily Caller. “He just doesn’t.”

“I could not bear to watch as he continued to cross the clearly-defined boundaries of the Constitutional separation of powers,” said Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) who walked out of the SOTU speech.
During the speech, Obama repeated comments he made days previously, noting that 2014 is going to be a “year of action,” essentially by Presidential fiat. “Wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that’s what I’m going to do,” Obama stated.
Tea Party favourite Stockman said Obama was promising to “break his oath of office and begin enacting his own brand of law through executive decree.”
“This is a wholesale violation of his oath of office and a disqualifying offense,” the Texas congressman said.
Other Republicans took a similar stance. “Unfortunately, what I heard from President Obama tonight was hostility toward our foundational principles, condescension toward a co-equal branch of government, and a general aversion to common sense and bipartisanship,” Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) commented.
“The president’s attempt to intimidate Congress by abusing executive power demonstrates a serious unwillingness to work with the coequal legislative branch of government,” Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.) wrote in a statement.
Meanwhile, in response to Obama’s speech, Rand Paul delivered his own SOTU, outlining a “new way” forward, heavily drawing on overtly libertarian proposals.
Referring to unemployment and the dwindling economy, Paul stated “If we don’t understand the cause of joblessness, we’ll have trouble fixing it.”
“As we entered into the Great Recession, Republicans and Democrats misdiagnosed the problem as too little government. So they gave us more government in the form of bank bailouts and a government stimulus plan.” the Senator added.
“It’s not that government’s inherently stupid — although it’s a debatable point,” he said with a pause and a cock of the head. “It’s that government doesn’t get the same signals. Milton Friedman recognized that when he wrote, ‘Nobody spends somebody else’s money as wisely as they spend their own.’ ” Paul added, pointing toward free-market libertarianism as a solution.

Takes three branches of Gov. to make a law. and then only to the constitution. Obama can go pound sand… Molon Labe
If this so called Gun Control is done by him…. the states should tell him to kiss their ass. Because if not… it just started….
Why wasn’t he dragged out of there in chains? Because no matter what the “opposition” says, they are going to play along with this piece of human garbage.
My Fellow Americans:
This is simply the COVERT subversion going to the OVERT tyranny phase of events.
Of course if Ocrapo wanted to emphasis his point (or John Kerry for that matter),.. it would not surprise if the next time they are making a public speech,.. the simply jump up on the lector,… pull out their engorged clit,… and simply start pissing on people faces telling them:
“Yeah!!,…. yeah!,… thats it,.. I’m not even going to tell you its rain!,.. I’m telling you,.. I’m pissing right on your faces,.. and your just going to stand there and take it!!!!,.. that’s it!,.. taste it!!!,.. tastes like piss doesn’t it???!!!!,… that’s because it is piss!!!,…..Yeah!,.. you like that don’t you??!!,.. all you cowardly Americans,.. you like when I piss right on your faces don’t you??!!!,.. You must, because you let me do it EVERYDAY!!!,… HAHaHhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha,….. stupid, cowardly Americans!,… PFfttt!!,…. you couldn’t stand up to a rapid shell fish,.. much less a hard Commie like me!!”
He’s right, we are not afraid. We will be free in life, or free in death. The only question is how many of the ruling class will we take with us when they attempt to deny us our means to self-defense. It is a simple equation in my mind.

Well guys, WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEN? ARREST AND IMPEACH THE SON OF A BITCH, FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD!!
OMG! ENOUGH TALK AND BULLSHIT ALREADY. ACT!!! F**KING ACT ON IT!!!! Stop whining and do what you are paid to do. ARREST AND IMPEACH THE SON OF A BITCH!!! The evidence is right there and in your face. What the F**K are you waiting for???
But of course they won’t do anything because it’s all a horse and pony show.
Barry could shoot a guy with a gun in the middle of his speech on live TV and say, “He interrupted me” and the members of Congress and the MSM Press will just say afterwards, “Oh, man. He truly crossed the line. I walked out. I can’t believe he did that. He has no Constitutional authority to do what he did. It’s despicable.” Yet instead of arresting him and calling the police and proper authorities, they just come back the next day as though nothing happened and move on to the next infringement. It’s insanity! It’ll never end unless We the People make it end with the barrel of a gun or lots of hemp rope. End of story.
I especially like how just before he makes reference to the military and commanders of the armed forces the camera is conveniently already trained on them. PRIOR to him mentioning them. Media must apparently already have a copy of his speech (ahem,script) and had their people analyze it to elicit maximum emotional response. Crafty but seditious, contrived AND treasonous. If you didn’t already believe they’re working together you’d better now. I am preaching to the choir unfortunately. People here already know
Yep, ain’t that the darnedest thing, huh, Martist? They always seem to know. They are getting to be almost as obvious as China’s CCTV news media and how it blatantly rigs the news all the time for China’s puppet government. I think the only other one worse is North Korea.
Thanks for noticing too NC. I am happy to have acquainted myself with such awake people and know that I am not just seeing things that are far too obvious. Face palm on the obvious portion. I wish Philadelphia was what it used to be. Just my old sense of pride coming out.
