Mr. Obama declared himself our emperor last week. Well, at least in so many words.
You didn’t hear it? Of course you did, but it was thinly veiled, and you have to do a little work stringing it together.
Just like Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tse-tung before him, Obama has been openly laying out his plan in his speeches across the country. Hitler never said he was going to “kill millions of Jews.” He said, and I quote, “the discovery of the Jewish virus is one of the greatest revolutions that has taken place in the world,” and “If only one country, for whatever reason, tolerates a Jewish family in it, that family will become the germ center for fresh sedition,” and “the heaviest blow which ever struck humanity was Christianity; Bolshevism is Christianity’s illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew.” Even with these blatant statements, no one believed what was being rumored to be going on at death camps across Germany.
These quotes were bits and pieces of conversations and speeches over time. But people were too dull or simply afraid to pull it all together.
Well, I’m not. And neither are many of my brothers in this battle for liberty, freedom and the real American way.
My family represents everything that is great about America. We are an interracial, legal-immigrant, blended family who worked their way up from living in one of the poorest cities in the country – the area I grew up in was once referred to as the “Bangladesh of America” – to a great middle-class area in California. God bless America.
Enter Barack Obama … and I quote:
“The problem is that, you know, I’m the president of the United States. I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed, and Congress right now has not changed what I consider to be a broken immigration system.” – President Obama on Feb. 14, 2013.
“With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed.” – President Obama on March 28, 2011.
“Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws.” – President Obama on March 28, 2011.
These are all his speeches in his words as dictated by his teleprompter. On many more occasions, he reiterated that he lacked the legal authority to take unilateral action on the immigration issue.
Yes, on Thursday he admitted there were presidents before him who broke that law, and he was going to hide behind them and break the law himself. Because he’s a “take action” kind of guy.
“There are actions I have the legal authority to take as president – the same kinds of actions taken by Democratic and Republican presidents before me – that will help make our immigration system more fair and more just.” – President Obama in Thursday’s speech.
Hello, Mr. President? Are you now saying that you have the right to break the law because others before you have done so? Is that what this has been all about? Have you evolved on this issue like you have with gay marriage?
Mr. President, you’re supposed to be a man of integrity. Integrity dictates you do the right thing no matter who’s watching (or not watching) or what kind of backlash or applause you might or might not get. Not what you think is the right thing … but the right and legal thing.
If my family is hungry because I can’t provide for them. Does that give me a pass to steal from the local grocery store? No. Never. Not for any reason. But what this country allows me the freedom to do is knock on every door of every vendor in the street to see if they will let me do a little work to buy food for my family. Or I can go to the grocery store and offer to do anything to raise money to feed my family. But it never gives me permission to break the law.
Mr. President, you have singlehandedly made a mockery of your position and of our country.
When you say, “I’m the president of the United States; I’m not the emperor of the United States; my job is to execute laws that are passed” – but then you make or change a law to the point where it no longer resembles the original law, then you have appointed yourself emperor by your own words and deeds.
When you say, “the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed,” then by suspending deportations you have broken the law. Those are your words, not mine.
And when you say, “Congress passes the law; the executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws,” but then you, sir, change the law to make it unenforceable as passed by the Congress, you are once again breaking the law as you stated it is.
This is what makes you a hypocrite. Not the color of your skin. Not your party affiliation. Not your religious affiliation. Not even where you may or may not have been born. It’s just your inability to find the truth and live by it.
An emperor is someone who rules as the highest power in the land. He has all authority to make and execute laws and can change them at any time without penalty.
If this was the position you sought, you came to the wrong place, because the “peasants” are on the rise and have had it. A revolution is coming and, as in the Russian revolution, the people in power chose to ignore the outcry of the “peasants” and the rulers lost.
Keep ignoring us and discounting us, Your Highest Emperor Obama, and it will mean political destruction for you and your team.

Someone that uneducated should not be sitting on any school board…what a hateful, uneducated and ignorant human being.
Same guy who months ago ranted about Cinco De Mayo while incorrectly identifying the holiday as “Mexican Independence Day”.
He never bothered or cared enough to post a correction to his blatant factual error.
You’d think a member of the school board would be committed to basic historical and cultural accuracy.
Not only hateful and uneducated, but also a world class bigot. I want him to keep writing here because it’s better to know than to not know what the conservative clowns are up to. That said, it would also be nice to have someone writing to represent the progressive point of view as well.
You sir, are an idiot.
Why is this being reported as SCV “news” column instead of the opinions column?
? It is not in the news section. It is in the opinion section.

Mobile site didn’t really show a seperation, but I saw on the desktop site it is in the opinions section. I retract my previous statement. Carry on.

Given the early morning hour when this was posted one can only assume that there was some hard liquor mixed with in that kool aid. That would be the only way to explain this disgusting post. Unless it’s insanity.
The Fox cool-aid!!!!
Direct comparisons to Hitler? Seriously?
It’s this kind of absurdly provocative verbal imagery that perpetuates the stagnant partisan divisiveness afflicting our great country.
As an Independent, I’ve grown quite tired of incendiary, counterproductive rhetoric from both sides, but this hits a new low.
Go get em, Joe
Tell it like it is
It’s not funny when it’s your ox being gored
So is Obama your Ox?
What America and Her hard working Patriotic tax payers must realize is that BHO is just a puppet for an organized group, his minions from Chicago, and they all are puppets for a bigger Puppet Master, old Georgie Soros, his minions and the EU elite, all socialist, radical liberal, progressive communist. This has been expressed in his books about his family and associates, all avowed communist. BHO and his minions, including Bill “Slick Willy” and Hillary Clinton, have rubbed elbows with Sal Alinsky, remember his Rules for Radicals, Bill Ayers and his family, all card carrying communist. It doesn’t take a PhD or a rocket scientist to figure this out, but not only is BHO and his minions communist , the ones that love Mao, but affiliated with the radical islamist states. The radical communist and islamist have been trying to take over the US of A since the 1920s and the Russian Revolution.
