Emperor Obama declared before an obsequious crowd in
Illinois, that he will do whatever it takes to shove his agenda down our throats. By hook or crook, the legislative process
will not hold up the Anointed One. It
doesn’t matter what Congress says. He’ll
do whatever he damn well pleases. Hell,
after the election, he instructed his aides to find ways to bypass
Congress. This man is a totalitarian.
Recently, his majesty flipped the finger at our
elected representatives. He, once again,
authorized another round of aide to the Palestinian Authority despite
restrictions placed by Congress.
On Friday, President
Obama waived congressional restrictions and ordered another $148 million to the Palestinian Authority,
claiming it was in the “national security interests” of the United States, the Washington
Times said
According
to the Times, the move comes as the administration prepares to host direct
talks in Washington between Palestinians and Israelis for the first time since
2010.
In March, the Times said, Obama directed about $500
million in aid to the Palestinians, bypassing congressional restrictions.
Secretary of State John F. Kerry said at the time that he
was seeking to give another $200 million to the Palestinians.
In late April, Obama did another end-run around Congress
and ordered $192 million in aid to the Palestinians.
Congress
is nothing but window dressing. We
really don’t have a separation of powers anymore. The House of Representatives
has the façade of originating spending bills.
But as we’ve seen, they’re irrelevant.
Laws are supposed to be introduced in Congress; instead, we have federal
bureaucracies writing regulations, which have the force of law; hence, another
end round of Congress.
To emphasize
the pathetic nature of our elected representatives, here is an excerpt from a
Newobserver.com article:
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. George Holding introduced
his first piece of legislation in Congress this week – a bill that would
require federal agencies to publish more information about rules they are
planning.
The Raleigh Republican calls the bill the All
Economic Regulations are Transparent Act. It would require federal agencies
once a month to report on all rules they plan to propose or finalize in the
coming year. The federal government would be required to post this information
on the Internet each month.
The bill would “help business owners know
what’s coming so they can determine what effect the regulations will have on
them,” Holding said. It also increases transparency by requiring federal
agencies to detail the effects of regulations, he said.
Holding has been a member of Congress since
January and was one of the last of 84 freshmen to introduce legislation.
So now, we’re begging these federal
bureaucracies to let us know in advance of their legislative intentions. Isn’t that special?
