Day by day, measure by measure, edict by edict, directive by directive, we are losing our country. Immersed in the collectivist waters of academia, Good King Barack continues to inflict his benevolent vision upon the country regardless of the consent of the governed, the will of their elected representatives, or the Constitution he took an oath to uphold. Neither proper respect nor the rule of law constrains a man who takes it upon himself to decide when the Senate shall be in recess for purposes of unconstitutional appointments, which laws he will or will not execute, what private contracts and services he will or will not order private citizens to purchase, and what freedom of religion he will or will not allow people of faith to practice. For a guy who believes in a right to privacy, he sure meddles in our private lives a lot.
His latest mandate, forcing religious organizations to purchase health insurance plans that include contraceptives and abortifacients in violation of the central tenets of their faith, was merely the latest in a series of assaults against the moral and legal foundations of the country he seeks to “fundamentally transform.” Faced with heavy opposition from people of faith across the political spectrum, President Obama Friday announced a “compromise” wherein he will require insurance companies to pay for these “preventive health services.” Does your copy of the Constitution authorize the President to order insurance companies to provide free contraceptive and abortifacients? I can’t seem to find it in my copy. And is it really a compromise to shift an unauthorized command from one entity, such as the church, to another?
Meanwhile, Mrs. Good King Barack visited Little Rock Air Force Base, on Thursday, where she announced a revamping of the items that will be served at military dining halls. There will be whole grains, fruits, veggies, lean meats, low-fat dairy products and more in dining halls, vending machines, snack bars and, “…any other places where military families purchase food,” said the First Lady. So when the troops finish their PT in the morning, they can munch on some foliage like a rabbit.
Can someone please get the Obamas on another His and Hers Jet Flight to Martha’s Vineyard? Their vacations cost a lot less of our freedom than their time on the job.

Hawaii is lovely this time of year. The Obamas should consider a nice, long vacation.

Thank God somebody started saying it. Everyone in the media is accepting the false premise that king Obama has the power to dictate these rules to us rubes. If Bush did any of this they’d be scheduling the second Nuremberg trials already.
I cannot believe the impotence of conservatives in the media, too.. They also accept the false premise that this is even possible.. which it IS NOT. We do not live in a DICTATORSHIP
My how far this country has fallen in less than 4 years. We’ve got unemployment nearing numbers seen in the 30′s, and the media accepts the cooked 8.4 number. haha right. I’ve never in my life seen so many men unemployed… and now, unemployable. Not sure an out of work surgeon could get a job being unemployed 2 years. What a disgrace to the nation Obama is. Hopefully we will recover and skip these chapters in the history books. Family’s try to hide they’re shame. Barack is our shame. To the people who voted for him? They are our future slaves

God, please do something with that putrid hag. She’s now screwing with military nutrition? Natick lab constantly studies nutrition and food for the military and has for decades. I would say they got a better handle on whatr our troops need.

His Royal Escretioncy Barack the Benevolent and Michelle Antoinette Obama need to take Ruth Traitor Ginsburg with them.
RickZ commented:
Nah, he’s Barack The Munificent. Now kneel before your King, you little peasant.

What..? No cake?
Opaobie commented:
They should all be charged with aggravated loitering with intent to commit mopery.
…sorry about the typo in comment #4…should have been “Excretioncy”…but he may also be “Escretionsy”, too.

It IS happening here.

So does Sarah Palin it would seem. It was the number she used in her CPAC speech.
James commented:
obama is the worst president in history. Who in their right mind is gonna vote for him.
Opaobie commented:
@#10…the “99%”…OWSers.
Opaobie commented:
@#10…my bad, you qualified your question with “who in their right mind?”…NOBODY.
American Patriot commented:
How is it that Obeyme can routinely order things be done and, poof, they’re done? Why hasn’t congress stepped in and told him no, and reminded him that much of what he has done is well outside the scope of his authority?
I know the answer already, but I needed to voice those questions. Congress doesn’t have the peas to tell Obeyme they will ignore his mandates, and they are afraid that liberals won’t like them if they act as a spoiler. We are SO screwed!

Great article!

MOTUS, YOU ARE NEEDED MORE THAN EVER – PLEASE ADDRESS:
According to a sourced legal analysis at Pundit and Pundette, the FRESHEST hell is this: While obama was giving his public announcement last Friday, 2-10-12, regarding his phony compromise in stripping religious freedom, he was once again, publically and gleefully lying at the same time.
How so, you say? Because on this same Friday, 12-10-12, obama’s administration locked the HHS religious edict INTO LAW! Don’t know how to linky, so see Pundit and Pundette.com article called “Squid Ink: The HHS Mandate is Already Law”.
philomena commented:
meant to say MOTUS and Gateway Pundit are needed more than ever. The fact that the HHS religious freedom stripping mandate was codified into LAW on Friday, while at the same time obama got his sick thrill giving his “compromise speech” has got to get viral. Have the Bishops yet realized we have entered Thunderdome?
Militant Conservative commented:
Has to happen, Evil will run rampant till the one
True GOD comes to stop the dark one.
Obama IS Satan.
Nothing man can do till our lord comes.
Obama is just doing his part. I’m doing mine.
Powder is dry

Check out Obama’s Agenda 21 for a real scare. What the hell is going on with this country?
