Obama’s 23 Executive Actions


This weeks post has two loosely related stories (two for the price of one… Bonus)

Obama’s 23 Executive Actions
    As Mr. Obama promised he has taken decisive action to ensure the tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary School will never happen again…  He’s going to issue three memorandums, release five letters/reports, provide “incentives” for schools/states, address/clarify several “issues”, Direct the Attorney General (Eric Holder) to do a couple of things (I hope it doesn’t involve tracking guns… again), develop emergency response plans for vulnerable institutions while training law enforcement how to respond, issue several more regulations and Of Course… TALK ABOUT IT!    I feel safer already…

    My expectations were fulfilled, Mr. Obama blinded by his own warped vision missed an opportunity to right the course of the nation and unify what has been a polarizing debate.  There are five simple steps that would have a greater affect on all violent crime across our country.

1)    Rebuild the traditional family unit:  The dehumanizing effect of broken homes gives the youth of today (and future generations) a sense of low self-worth.   If they don’t value themselves and their family, how can they be expected to value others?
“It starts in the home.”

2)    Meaningful education:  For far too long our education system has been allowed to erode, instead of being institutions of learning they have become bastions of indoctrination.  Where once was taught the skills needed to excel in life, now supply a steady diet of victimization and vilification.  With everyone cast as either a villain or a victim the children become impotent or angry and then at some point they lash out.  No longer is the history of the United Stated and the exceptionality of its people presented in a manor that promotes pride and aspirations to build upon past achievements.     
“Standing on the shoulders of GIANTS”

3)    Support business and industry:  If there are no prospects of fulfilling employment to achieve goals and ambitions the vision of a productive life is lost and gives way to undesirable activities.  When business and industry see potential for growth they expand giving opportunities for people to apply their trades, skills and abilities.  On the other hand if industry is stifled either by regulations or economic constraints opportunities dwindle.      
“Idle Hands”

4)    Fix the national debt:  Like any household in financial distress (only on a ridiculously larger scale) a planned budget and sacrifices have to be made. Everyone benefits from the programs provided; everyone needs to contribute to fixing the problem.  Any business or family that relied upon a credit card to provide 46% of its monthly expenditures would soon find themselves in bankruptcy court.  The idea (or economic theory) of needing to barrow more to pay for what has already been barrowed is criminal. 
“A light at the end of the tunnel”

5)    Restore faith:  The government need not be in the business of promoting religion but it also shouldn’t be in the business of denouncing it either.  Stop forcing people/business to go against their core values and principles that are rooted in their religious beliefs.  Promote community support provided by these groups.  I hate to use the “Pepsi Argument” but its effective; If one person doesn’t like Pepsi is its advertisement removed from public sight?  Is its use restricted to designated locations behind closed doors?  No, their told not to drink the Pepsi if they don’t like it.  Same should apply to faith, if you lack faith fine but don’t demand that others restrict their display of faith.  
“Believe in something larger than ones self”

    Unlike Mr. Obama, I don’t see the government being all things to all people but when it sticks to the basics… The states, the cities, the communities, the neighborhoods, the families, the individuals can take care of the rest.  Can Mr. Obama even grasp these five little ideas?  I doubt they have ever crossed his mind because he is the product of the broken homes, he is the product of the indoctrinations, he is the product of a lack of fulfilling employment, he is the product of living off of other people’s labor, he is the product of not knowing there is something larger than himself…  To embrace the actions, the values needed to stop the insanity he would first have to admit to himself he has lived a lie.  This admission would take courage and integrity (Mr. Obama lacks both) so its up to me, you and everyone we can rally to our cause, to make it happen in-spite of him.  The bigger and more intrusive the Federal Government has become, the worse the social problems have become.  We fight, we argue, we make the changes…    
We Do What’s Right!!!

Gift from Prince Harry
    I was reading a post on Breitbart.com that speculated on an amendment Harry Reid (D-NV) put into the 2800 page Obamacare law.  Some theorized that Senate amendment 3276, Sec. 2716 part c. prevents the Federal Government from collecting “…information relating the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition.”  According to Senator Ried “this provision (Gift) was added to keep the NRA out of the legislative fight over Obamacare.”  From what I gathered it only applies to actions in pursuant of medical care or insurance premium rates.  I didn’t see any provision in the O-care Act that would curtail say the DOJ, ATF or any other agency outside of the HHS arena from gathering information.  Myself I think someone’s grasping at false hope but it was nice of “Prince Harry” to offer up this little gift even though it’s not his to give… OR TAKE AWAY!      But it does bring into question if a doctor suspects someone of being a danger to themselves or others… According to the amendment, can they even ask if the patient has access to a firearm?  If they do, can the Doctor warn anyone, (Legally)?  Could a doctor be sued in civil court because of this amendment?  Think maybe they made an error (or two) in their rush to pass 2800 page bill without reading it?

    After reading the post I scrolled down through the comments (this could have been a mistake).  Anyway, the comments got quite nasty… a lot of bickering back and forth on what was being read into the text or what was being omitted and whose take was the right one.  I had just about given up when I came across this little jewel.  This is all that needs to be said.

SOCRATESSOCRATES  (22:36 01/09/13)

    Very important point to be made about the 2nd Amendment NOW:

At the time the 2nd Amendment was crafted into our Constitution, “ARMS” were the most destructive and violent-capable devices of the time.  NOTE, yet the drafters of the Constitution MADE SURE to specifically state “the right to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!” 

This fact:

a)      has nothing to do with “hunting”

b)      framers SAID NOTHING about the functional capabilities of the various ARMS as to distinguish one arm from another

The 2nd Amendment WAS CRAFTED explicitly for the people to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.  The framers of the Constitution intended, without argument, TO ENSURE the citizenry were able to KEEP AND BEAR [all arms] not [some types].

American Patriots fight back now!
Contemplate on these points!  ALL of the most dangerous “arms” at the time of the Constitution’s writing were INTENDED to be in the hands of law abiding and free citizenry!

There is no argument against this!
************************************************************************   

SOCRATESSOCRATES, I commend you!  You nailed it, the 2nd Amendment is clear in its intent.  It gives FREE MEN a fighting chance to remain FREE!

For the rest of you I have a simple yes or no question:

Do you believe the current and all future administrations have (or will have) an unwavering commitment to you, your family, the nation and our way of life as their sole priority and they will protect you from all harm 24-7-365?

If you answered yes (without hesitation) go find a history book or go back to the TV… your choice,   I   DON’T   CARE.

If you hesitated or answered no… Are you armed and willing to fight for your freedom?

On my knees before NO Man!

  1. I think you are seriously looking at the issue from where a real solution may be realized. I hope you don't mind I referenced it on my blog http://samssimplefacts.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/simple-facts-how-to-save-america/
    If you disapprove, I will remove it.

    Thank you for taking a serious look at a serious situation :0)
