Thanks for those talking points.
Thanks for once again showing your openmindedness.
Every time I or one of the Bobs or any liberal brings up anything that contradicts you set belief structure, you give us the line about being part of the Obama/liberal media establishment mindset. Then you tell me that I don't know what you or any conservative is thinking. You're right; I don't. But I do know that you always trot out the exact same for want of a better word talking points that I find on any right wing blog and you quote them as if they are gospel and refuse to look at any evidence to the contrary. So, it sure looks to me as if you're doing nothing but blindly trot out the party line.
It's easy when you've got someone like Rush or Sean or the Koch Brothers or Rupert Murdoch's minions there to do your thinking for you.
You are upset. I'm sorry. I thanked you for your talking points and that got your panties in a wad. I can tell because when you're upset and confused, you always bring up Rush Limbaugh. Let me be more patient with you and explain why your point that some other presidents have issued more executive orders than Obama is A STUPID ARGUMENT. (whoops, sorry)
A President can issue executive orders. Most if not all have done so. They can issue as many of them as they want. What is different with Obama's is that his executive orders CHANGE THE LAWS THAT ALREADY EXIST. He has now done that several times. For an example, let's take his actions regarding illegal aliens. (uh oh, I think they are now calling them Americans-In-Waiting). He completely changed the law, in defiance and without Congressional consent or approval.
It's a pretty easy concept that seems to be difficult for you to understand. It's not the quantity of executive orders, its the content of them. Here's an example that you might understand, because in the example, conservatives are portrayed in a way that is familiar to you.
Fascist right-wing Nazi President Mikey will issue only TWO executive orders during his presidency for life:
1. All power is hereby rendered to the executive.
2. The Democrat Party is hereby a terrorist and criminal organization and all of its members and all of the people who have supported it shall hereby be hunted down with dogs and burned alive.
And here’s the beauty of this: President Mikey responds to the Democrats’ charge of fascism by pointing out that Barack Obama was actually 98.8 percent more fascist because he issued 167 orders to President Mikey’s two.
It’s amazing, isn’t it. I have just seized total dictatorial power and literally executed all of my political opposition, but according to Democrats’ current “reasoning,” I can’t be a fascist because Obama issued more executive orders than I did.
Now I hope you can understand this. Even Obama did, because he repeated publicly many times that he did not have the authority to do this. But that was only until something magical happened and he suddenly did have the power to do it.
