Why did I call out liberals? Because conservatives are already up in arms, while liberals sit idle since they think their agenda is getting moved forward... but they are missing the big picture.
Some issues transcend liberal and conservative... like the rule of law.
Rather you are liberal or conservative, all Americans should be concerned when there is no law.
While in the short term, the liberal agenda may benefit from ignoring the rule of law... once that president is set, next time around it could be the conservative agenda that trumps your rights and the law.
Obama has circumvented and ignored the constitution and its bill of rights on multiple occasions.
He's started three wars without congressional approval. Even the unpopular Bush obtained congressional approval for the unpopular wars in Iraq, in accordance with the constitution.
He seeks to nullify the second amendment in the Bill of Rights by introducing a treaty which would nullify that part of the bill of rights. No other president in history has ever engaged in treaty negotiations that would nullify our own constitution... (yes, treaties supersede the constitution, and no other president has ever even considered rewriting our constitution through this mechanism outside of our amendment process.)
He circumvents private citizen's rights to contractual law when he nullifies bond holders contracts, a power no article of the constitution gives him.
Rather you agree with his agenda or not, as a law abiding US citizen, you should see the dangerous precedent that is being established.
Imagine, if you would, the next conservative president making a treaty with a foreign government which bans your right to free speech (perhaps rationalizing protests in America were creating unrest in the treaty country). Remember, treaties supersede the constitution, and Obama started this precedent. Now your very act of protesting his actions has become a crime... news medias can no longer print stories contrary to the Presidents agenda, people can no longer protest in public. Then he confiscates union pension funds in order to shore up private investors. What gave him that authority? Obama's precedent of confiscating bonds to shore up pensions. Don't like it? You can't voice your discontent publicly, you'll be arrested. Take it a step further and he starts a bombing campaign against Canada... according to Obama's precedent, he has that authority simply by claiming the military action is "not hostile to the people of Canada, and therefore doesn't count as war, and therefore doesn't require congressional approval." If any of these examples seem ludicrous, they are no more or less ludicrous than the actual events of our time, just the names of the various elements have changed for illustrative purposes.
Liberal or conservative, all Americans should be outraged over these egregious assaults on our constitutional way of life. How is Obama not more dangerous to the US and it's constitutional way of life than any other threat from foreign sources?
