The EPA is Fining Companies for WHAT???

I WAS going to save this for this week’s Friday Fume but, I’ve been doing a slow BURN on it all day. THIS has got to stop.

SERIOUSLY…This is absolute liberal idiocy in action.

The EPA…Yeah, that BASTION of greenie weenies… is now nuttier than a squirrel turd.

YES…I SAID TURD…and I meant it.

The EPA is levying fines against oil companies that have FAILED to include a certain additive to their fuels.

That additive is called…cellulosic biofuel.

There isn’t an oil company or fuel maker who HAS included the stuff.

BECAUSE IT DOESN’T EXIST!!!!!

That right friends…there IS no cellulosic biofuel.

It’s SUPPOSED to be made from wood chips and left over plant parts which are inedible like corn cobs and lima beans the latter of which I have never been able to keep down.

Calling Allen West…It’s Time for Real Leadership

It’s time for a change. A leadership change. Yes, I know there are still 10 months to go before the election of 2012 but seriously…Do we have any time to waste? Can we afford to just ride it out?

No.

We must act and act now.

We have a true leadership vacuum and we need to make things right.

I am NOT talking about Obama or the White House here – though there is a pronounced lack of leadership there, too.

I’m talking about something more immediate.

John Boehner must be replaced and soon.

Very soon.

After the House Members went their way just days before Christmas, John Boehner initiated a conference call to inform the Members that the House would approve, unanimously, a 2-month extension of the payroll tax breaks.

2 months?

Really??? How exactly are businesses supposed to plan if they have to do it only 2 months at a time?

How are families supposed to plan on a 2 month system?

How exactly does a 2 month extension boost a sluggish economy or solve any economic issue?

It doesn’t.

What Obama DOESN’T Want You to Know About “Hopey Changey”

Can we give it a rest? Can we just give it a rest?

I’m talking about the nonsense put forth by so many reports that Obama has now kicked off his 2012 campaign. Every day, after an Obama speech, someone claims that Obama has kicked off his campaign.

Bull.

Obama kicked off his 2012 campaign the day he took office back in 2009 so can we please give the “He just kicked off his campaign” stuff a rest?

That’s one of the biggest problems with this administration…That they have never, for a single minute, been OUT of campaign mode. Rather than seeing to the business of the country, rather than seeing to the business of the people, Obama has spent his entire term engaged in the business of Obama.

Hey liberals…How’s that hopey changey crap working out for you?

Going to Iran to Visit Your Grandmother? Good Luck With That

Iran says that Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, a “former” Marine (those of who know, know there is no such thing as a FORMER Marine) is a CIA spy and after a quick trial, they have sentenced him to death.

Hekmati has 20 days to appeal.

I say Hekmati is something quite different but what that is depends on to whom you relate his status.

To understand this, we must go back to the first sentence of this article.

Iran says Amir Mizraei Hekmati, a “former” Marine is a CIA spy.

The key word in that sentence is… “Says.”

They SAY he’s a spy. But what is he REALLY? To THEM…What is Hekmati REALLY?

This I believe is more reflective of reality.

To Iran, Amir Mirzaei Hekmati is a bargaining chip.

Iran is facing stiff sanctions from the United States and a naval presence near the Strait of Hormuz. This, of course, is in response to Iran’s growing nuclear program which, as we learned a month or so ago, is two years or less from developing a nuclear weapon.

The Federal Government and King George

This article is an exploration on many of the charges listed in the Declaration of Independence against King George and how they apply to the Federal Government.  I had been thinking of this for quite some time, as had many others before me apparently.  There are a few decent articles written on this subject on the internet, from which I have gained some inspiration.  I purposefully tried to eliminate the idea that our current “President” has committed the same offenses and rather decided that the behemoth of our Federal Government is at fault.

The reason it is at fault can be summed up in the Declaration of Independence.  The condition of American society with regard to the power the Federal Government has on all of us shows “that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”  This is just as true today as it was over 200 years ago.  It is not just the fault of the President, but of the government as a whole.  The checks and balances system is broken, and few have the moral compass to keep the nation pointed in the right direction even if it means they will not see another term.  We have become accustomed to Federal involvement in our daily lives.  Whereas the Constitution used to provide the guidepost to which all politicians used to face, it is now carved up, interpreted and reinterpreted to justify any and all actions against liberty.

With that, I give you the following charges against King George, and the actions of the Federal Government that mirror the justification of those charges (not inclusive of all charges, just the ones I could justify):

Obama’s Willful Violation of the Constitution

Yesterday, we, at The National Patriot, asked YOU, our readers and the American people to take action. We asked this in the wake of Obama’s “recess” appointments.

These appointments took place while the Senate remained in Pro Forma session.

Obama’s actions are in contempt of Congress.

Obama’s actions are a willful violation of the United States Constitution.

Obama’s actions are a direct violation of his oath of office.

We thought it would be interesting to see what some Congressional members are saying about Obama’s actions in regard to the “recess” appointments.

“Once again we’re seeing presidential overreach. This is not what our founding fathers had in mind for this great nation.”   

Congressman Allen West

__________

“The president put his own political future and the radical views of his far-left base ahead of constitutional government. The president will have to answer to the American people for this power grab.”

Sen. Orin Hatch

__________

“I think the president wanted to pick a really big fight, and he has surely chosen one. This is a direct affront to the American people and the constitutional system of government that we have.”

Sen. Mike Lee

LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST OBAMA – TNP CALL TO ACTION

BREAKING NEWS!!!

This morning, The National Patriot has learned of a fresh new lawsuit filed against Obama!!

The ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) is filing a lawsuit against Obama regarding the 4 “Recess” appointments made earlier this week.

Yesterday, in my article “Emperor Obama Has Decreed…Let It Be So!!!” I stated that Obama seemed to have made himself an Emperor rather than  President. In that article, I outlined how the Constitution had been ignored by these appointments.

Apparently, the ACLJ is in complete agreement.

Today, on their website, the ACLJ quotes Obama’s Deputy Solicitor General, Neal Katyal in 2010 as stating, “The — the recess appointment power can work in — in a recess. I think our office has opined the recess has to be longer than 3 days. And — and so, it is potentially available to avert the future crisis that — that could — that could take place with respect to the board.”

Therein, as I wrote yesterday, is the exact problem.

The Senate is NOT in recess.

The Senate IS in a Pro Forma session.

In a Pro Forma session, a Senator must appear on the floor of the Senate, even if only for seconds, once every three days.

This is precisely what has occurred since the REST of the Senate went home just days before Christmas.

For Obama to make ANY recess appointments during a Pro Forma session of the Senate IS a direct violation of the United States Constitution.

PERIOD!

In violation of the Constitution are the appointments of Richard Cordray as the Director of the new (as of last July) Consumer Protection Bureau and 3 appointments, Deputy Labor Secretary Sharon Block, union lawyer Richard Griffin and NLRB counsel Terence Flynn, to the National Labor Relations Board.

What has occurred, because of these 4 appointments, is a Constitutional Crisis.

While some may believe this to be rather strong language, it is far from it. In fact, it is a simple reflection of reality.

The President of the United States has willfully violated the Constitution of the United States and his sworn vow to uphold it.

Upon inauguration, a president vows the following:

“I, (insert name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

The National Patriot submits, that should Obama be allowed to “get away” with this willful disregard of the Constitution and his sworn vow to defend the Constitution, any president henceforth could do so also.

In proceeding with these appointments, done while the senate was still in session, Obama has not only defied the United States Constitution but he is also in contempt of congress.

If this is NOT a Constitutional Crisis, I for one would certainly like to know what WOULD constitute such.

If you think calling this a Constitutional Crisis is strong, what I am about to say will shock you.

There can be only ONE response to a President who WILLFULLY violates the Constitution.

IMPEACHMENT.

Therefore, The National Patriot calls upon you, our readers to act.

1) Share this article everywhere you can.

2) Send a link to this article to YOUR congressmen and women AND to your senators…REGARDLESS of their party affiliation.

3) DEMAND articles of impeachment be brought forth against Obama.

A list of “All Govt. Contacts” can be found at the top of our blogroll on our home page or by clicking here.

In our opinion, any Congressperson or Senator who does NOT take a stand FOR impeachment is also in violation of THEIR oath of office as doing nothing DOES nothing to defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

This, friends and Patriots, is a SEMINAL moment in our nation’s history.

This President, Obama, cannot be allowed to willfully violate our constitution without recourse. Simply nullifying these UNCONSTITUTIONAL appointments is not enough.

This MUST be dealt with in the strongest manner possible and as quickly as possible lest a dangerous precedent be set for all future Presidents and Members of Congress.

 

Friday Fume

Well, well, well…HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

While I’m not big on resolutions I WILL make you this vow…Throughout this most important year I will NOT let up ONE LITTLE BIT on the liberal/socialist crowd.

We have a LOT of work to do but that DOESN’T mean we can’t take time out for a laugh or two…at the liberal’s expense.

That said…

It’s Friday and guess what?

I’m fuming.

This year we start with a guy who I am reasonably sure is plenty happy his first name is not Barry.

Congressman John Dingle (D(imwit) MI) had THIS brilliant comment last week: Romney is the only fellow in the United States who appears to think that the Volt is an idea whose time has not come. Clearly it has not come to him. The Volt is selling like hotcakes.”

If by “Hotcakes” Dingle means THEY KEEP BURSTING INTO FLAMES…he might be onto something. As it is…he may well just be ON something.

Oblamesomeoneelse poured something like 49.5 BILLION dollars of OUR money into what is now GOVERNMENT MOTORS and proclaimed that 1 million electric cars would soon be cruising American roads.

If you break it down, every Chevy Volt SOLD so far has cost the American taxpayer…$240,000.00!!!!!

There have been about 7,500 SOLD and after Dingle’s rather STUPID statement…CHEVY ANNOUNCED THEY ARE RECALLING 8,000 VOLTS BECAUSE THEY ARE ROLLING BARBEQUES!!!!!

Emperor Obama Has Decreed…Let It Be So!!!

A President making recess appointments is nothing new. It’s been happening pretty much since Congressional recesses were invented. In some cases, it has been no big deal; while in other cases, controversial, but it happens and it IS legal.

Well…it’s legal when it’s legal; and to be legal, Congress must be in recess.

If Congress is NOT in recess, a President MUST go through Congress and have Congress approve appointees.

That is in the Constitution.

You will find it in Article 2, Section 2.

He (the president) shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

The President shall have the power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the  Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

That is exactly, word for word what the Constitution states regarding recess appointments.

Here is the problem.
