Evil Conservative Radio: House Rebukes Obama's Power Grab 429-2- Boldly Promoting Reaganism During the Reign of Obama

I Find These Truths to be Self-Evident...

1. Governments should be afraid of their citizens. Not the other way around. 2. No matter how much power a government has, it's never enough for things to work the way they want them to. 3. There is no problem on Earth that cannot be made worse by getting Congress involved. 4. When the government does things for people, the people lose their desire, and eventually even the ability, to do it for themselves. 5. Liberals prefer to attack people, not ideas. 6. Liberals are obsessed with giving away other people's wealth. 7. Once Congress declares a "war" on something, or promise to eliminate something, you know that thing (poverty, drugs, disease, hunger, terror) will never go away. 8. No matter how many times it's explained to them, liberals will always refer to tax cuts as spending. 9. Profit is always more predictable than politics. 10. Children NEED parents. 11. Anything that gets taxed, gets smaller. 12. Anything that gets subsidized, gets larger. 13. Sometimes violence is necessary to protect peace. 14. The people who run government programs benefit when the programs don't work. 15. Modern slavery has nothing at all to do with shackles, and everything to do with economics, money manipulation, and taxation. 16. "Altruism" should be redefined as "undisclosed motives." 17. Liberty is infringed more by do-gooder government programs than by all the greedy businesses in the world. 18. "Pro-Choice" people aren't usually very pro-choice about anything but abortion. 19. The term "crisis" is easily used to take away liberties. 20. The people who administer government programs don't ever feel very accountable to you, the taxpayer. 21. The only things that really stimulate an economy during peacetime are tax cuts. 22. People are always motivated by some percieved self-interest. 23. The best way to help out your neighbor is to not live off your neighbor. 24. In everything EXCEPT GOVERNMENT, the people paying the bills call the shots. 25. Socialists have a core belief that it's OK to take from one person, even by force if necessary, in order to give to another person. 26. Government-administered charities are always funded by force and coercion. 27. Powerful people usually got that way because they made being powerful their priority, not YOUR WELL-BEING.

House Rebukes Obama's Power Grab 429-2

Obama roundly criticized his predecessor for issuing "signing statements" that clarified his stance on the bills he signed into law. But that was before he got the job. Now Obama feels totally at ease issuing signing statements that say, in effect, that he will ignore provisions of laws he doesn't like. This totalitarian mindset is pretty much ignored by the mainstream media, who are too busy trying to make sure Obama's zipper doesn't close on their lips. However misled and clueless the zombies in the House of Representatives may be, they can still recognize a power grab when they see one. This particular power grab was rebuked with a 429-2 vote on Friday.
