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

Posted on by

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.

Those Who Would Destroy Israel ARE Our Problem

Posted on by

Sometimes, news from faraway places is hard to come by. Sometimes, things which matter escape notice. Sometimes, when things in the news are coming fast, I miss something.

I missed something important in March of last year.

I am aware of it now and I am outraged.

Last February, after weeks of uprisings in Egypt, Mubarak was overthrown. I wrote then about the Muslim Brotherhood and the failing Obama doctrine allowing them a seat at the table in the formation of a new Egyptian government.

I was right to write those articles but, what I have discovered now, points directly to my outrage at the time.

Of course, we know more now than we did then and the Muslim Brotherhood is cementing their grab on power in Egypt.

I have also written of the peril regarding the decades old Israel/Egypt peace accord.

That leads me to this.

What the Iowa Results REALLY Mean

Posted on by

Imagine how different the next few debates are going to look to Rick Santorum. He’s going to be at or near center stage and he’ll actually be asked questions.

On the other hand, imagine how much the same the next few debates are going to look to Jon Huntsman who just found out that when voters in Iowa aren’t picking corn, they’re arranging the podium order for the next few debates!

The OTHER Rick…Perry…will have the best seat in the house for the next few debates…The best seat in his OWN house as he heads back to Texas to reassess his campaign. Nobody goes home to “reassess” and then comes back to be a player in the race.

Want to know why?

Because those who donate money are now reassessing THEIR strategy and right now, they’re looking toward investing in center stage Rick over living room Rick.

Michele Bachmann has a problem.

Game On… New Hampshire is Next!!

Posted on by

Last night and for that matter, into early this morning, Iowa had their say and as horse races go, this one was a corker.

The GOP field broke into 2 distinct tiers and the results weren’t all that surprising considering the up and down ride over the last couple of weeks.

Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann finished last unless of course, you count Huntsman who not only didn’t compete in Iowa but dismissed Iowa’s contribution to the process less than a week ago.

In the actual vote count from the Iowa Caucus, the win went to Mitt Romney by less than 14 votes with Rick Santorum coming in second and Ron Paul 3rd.

Newt Gingrich, who a mere 2 weeks ago was running away with it finished 4th.

Now, given the numbers, who had the best night?

BREAKING!!! Georgia Court to Hear Natural Born Citizen Case vs Obama

Posted on by

The liberty Legal Foundation has announced that the case pending in Georgia, challenging Obama’s eligibility, has been ACCEPTED.

This is great news considering Obama and his team of attorneys had been actively trying to have this case DENIED!!

The Georgia court in agreeing to hear the case could well be setting the stage for other states in which quite similar cases are pending. Arizona and Tennessee both have such cases waiting right now.

This case, in Georgia, deals specifically with the Natural Born Citizen issue.

In a previous article, we brought up the Minor vs Happersett case from 1875 in which the Supreme Court defined a NBC as one who has 2 parents which were citizens at the time of the subject’s birth. We also cited 3 other cases in which the Supreme Court, previous to the Minor case, said the same thing.

Since Obama’s father, at the time of Barack’s birth, was not a U.S. citizen, nor did he ever become one, according to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1875…Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

If not a NBC…then, according to the Constitution, Obama is ineligible to serve as President.

So…how long will THIS take before a hearing will occur?

Not NEARLY as long as you might think.

The Georgia court will hear this at 9am on January 26th 2012.

This is likely NOT to be the final word as either way it goes, one can expect immediate requests for a rehearing or appeals to higher…in this case, the U.S. Supreme Court.

Here’s the skinny as I see it.

Since no later opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1875 Minor vs Happersett case exists mentioning the issue of Natural Born Citizen, and since 3 other PREVIOUS case opinions from the U.S. Supreme Court state the same thing as Minor vs Happersett, it seems nearly impossible…NEARLY…that the Georgia court would find differently.

If this is indeed the ruling after the January 26th hearing…I would expect Obama to file an immediate appeal but, and this is a giant but…

Obama’s eligibility would be in SO much question that the DNC might have no other option, considering the circumstances, than to look elsewhere for a 2012 candidate.

THIS is exactly that to which I was referring in my article LAST week which can be read by clicking here.

Liberal/socialists are going to HATE this news and will no doubt, become more dismissive and vulgar than usual but, so be it. We expect nothing less.

Once again, the Georgia court HAS agreed to hear the case of Obama’s eligibility on the issue of Natural Born Citizen on January 26th at 9am!!!

Ron Paul’s Connection to Doom

Posted on by

Much of what we have seen regarding various GOP candidates and what I refer to as smelly shoes in their closets, is old news. It’s stuff that happened a decade or two ago. Sometimes longer ago than that.

This isn’t old news.

This is FRESH stink and it’s a stink Ron Paul and his Ronulan Paulbot lemmings are going to have a tough time explaining away.

On July 6th, 2010, Ron Paul co-wrote an article with Barney Frank for the Huffington Post regarding the slashing of a trillion dollars from national defense spending. At a time when our national defense is being weakened by a president who supports our enemies and turns his back on our allies, Ron Paul joins forces with Barney Frank to slash defense spending?

Yep but that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

Together, FrankenPaul, issued the “Sustainable Defense Task Force.”

This “Think tank” of progressive liberal non thinkers was “Tasked” with rendering our defense capabilities null and void for the most part but disguised as a “cost cutting” fiscal task force.

Disguising his true intentions is a Ron Paul trademark.

This is Why Iowa Matters

Posted on by

Tomorrow, voters in Iowa will caucus. It’s not a primary as we have come to define primaries but still, it is something of a popularity contest.

The main difference between the caucus and a primary, is that no delegates are won.

So…why bother?

Because those who place well, or win the Iowa caucus head into early primary states…New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and the like, with more momentum.

If there is one thing we can expect from the 2012 Iowa caucus, it would be to expect very little to change moving forward.

We should expect the race to remain contentious. We should expect the race to remain divided. We should expect the race to remain populated and we should expect the race to remain a roller coaster sort of affair.

The key word in all we should expect is…

Taking This Country Back…Only the Begining

Posted on by

Today is January 1st, 2012.

The beginning of a new year is here. A new calendar has been hung and resolutions made.

At The National Patriot, we are ready. Ready NOT to make resolutions but to remain resolute.

No longer can we say, “2012 is coming” because it is here. Now, we look toward November, which indeed is coming but we also know there is much to be done between now and that important month and an election which will begin to reverse the advances in socialism and the misguided ideology of liberals.

The White House is one thing – but, in your individual states, there are races which MUST be closely watched and supported.

It is not enough to just retake the White House, conservatives must also hold the House and regain the Senate.

Friday Fume

Posted on by

Well, this is it, my last opportunity of 2011 to let it out.

One would think, or at least hope, that between Christmas and New Years, liberals could GIVE IT A REST but…NOOOOOOOO……

Oh well, that’s okay because guess what all you liberal/socialists???

I AIN’T TAKING A DAY OFF EITHER!!!

Get ready…It’s Friday and…

I’m fuming.

Over in Maryland, a small community has for YEARS, been flying an American flag in their roundabout…one of those circular traffic disasters emulating the British system.

They drive on the wrong side of the road over there which is why roundabouts don’t work so well over here.

That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

Anyway…

Is THIS the Writing on the Socialist Wall??

Posted on by

Who didn’t see THIS coming?

There is now some talk about Obama dumping Biden from the 2012 ticket and replacing him with Hillary.

First off, Obama is in trouble and he knows it. His base is fleeing. He needs to add someone who socialists want. Hillary fills the ticket. She ran hard against Obama in ’08 and there seem to be a lot of liberals who would rather have HER in the White House than HIM.

The weirdest part of the scuttlebutt at this point is that Biden and Hillary would swap jobs.

Can you even IMAGINE Joe Biden as Secretary of State? Seriously, at this point, the guy can shoot off his mouth with all sorts of inane and crazy blather – and other than making for some entertaining sound bites, it’s harmless. But as Secretary of State…he would be sticking our national foot in HIS mouth on the WORLD stage and I suspect, that within days of taking the job, Biden would manage to INSULT at least HALF of our allies.

Let’s get back to the VP Hillary thing.
