Sit Down Mr. President!

In light of the recent dictates on contraception, religion and health insurance emanating from the White House, I believe that it is time to review the duties, responsibilities and authorities of the office of the President of the United States of America.  The office of the President and its attendant powers are set out in Article II of the Constitution, and it's a very short Article.  The President is the executive officer of the agencies of the Executive Branch of the federal government.  He is not the executive officer of the Congress, the federal Courts, the States, individual citizens, private businesses or private organizations.  Thus he may direct the activities and spending of those federal agencies under his control, but that's it.  He cannot direct anyone else or anything else to spend or not spend or do or not do anything.  Period.  All of this huffing and puffing about directing churches or religious benevolent organizations or insurance companies to provide this or that or spend this or that is just downright silliness.  Beyond his executive duties for federal agencies his few responsibilities mostly relate to defense, foreign policy negotiations, appointing judges and signing or vetoing legislation.  I don't see running churches, charitable organizations or private insurance companies in that list.  His law enforcement and legal agencies may investigate violations of federal law, bring perpetrators to justice and try such cases in federal court; but the President may not amend federal laws on the fly.  This idea behind an all-powerful Presidency is what drives the move to abolish the Electoral College.  Forces in this country would like to elevate the President to a virtual dictator or king with power over all aspects of the federal government, state governments, individual citizens, private business and private organizations.  These forces would like to move to popular election of the President, ignoring the fact that the President is elected by the States to serve the United States of America.  The People's direct representation in the Federal Government is the House of Representatives, the People's House.  The President's role and influence has grown far beyond it's original intent and far beyond a safe and sane level.  It is time to return the office of the Presidency to it's proper and limited role in our government, our businesses and our personal, private lives.

Obama Assault on Religion

This assault on First Amendment Freedom of Speech and Religion by this lawless, unconstitutional, anarchist, fascist so-called Obama Administration is an abomination.  He has crossed a line and dropped his guard and revealed his true self.  This is an assault upon the United States of America proper.  This administration has become a clear and present threat to the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Republic.  Barack Hussein Obama has thrown the U.S. Constitution on the floor and crapped on it!  There is no constitutional basis for this (and many previous) actions by this president.  And don’t throw the lame, tired Interstate Commerce Clause defense up.  That’s laughable.  And yes, the federal government has the authority to tax…but ONLY for legitimate Article 1, Section 8 enumerated powers.  PERIOD!  The majority of American people are finally wise to these realities and the phoniness of this administration.  And they’ve had enough.  The only hope this Republic has for survival are civil disobedience and State Nullification.  If the several States will exert their superior power (after all it’s the States who created the federal government to SERVE them) under the Tenth Amendment, we may preserve the Union.  If not, I fear all is lost.  There is no hope or solution In Washington, D.C.  In fact D.C. is the source of all of these problems.  The President, the Congress and the Courts have abdicated their Constitutional authority and failed to serve the People.  They should all step aside out of a sense of honor and duty.

God save the Constitution and the Republic!
