The worst abuse of presidential powers in the history of the US!

WASHINGTON — Worse than Richard Nixon. An unprecedented abuse of powers. The most un-American president in the nation’s history.
President Richard Nixon
Nat Hentoff does not think much of President Obama.
And now, the famous journalist says it is time to begin looking into impeachment.
Hentoff sees the biggest problem as Obama’s penchant to rule by executive order when he can’t convince Congress to do things his way.
The issue jumped back into the headlines last week when, just before his first Cabinet meeting of 2014, Obama said, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone … and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions.”
“Apparently he doesn’t give one damn about the separation of powers,” Hentoff told WND. “Never before in our history has a president done these things.”
And just to make sure everyone knows how extremely serious he regards the situation, the journalist added, “This is the worst state, I think, the country has ever been in.”
President Barack Obama
Read “The Case for Impeachment” and know why Obama has got to go before America is done for …
Many have regarded Hentoff as the conscience of civil libertarianism and liberalism for decades.
Recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the Bill of Rights and the Supreme Court, Hentoff was a columnist and staff writer with The Village Voice for 51 years, from 1957 until 2008, when his columns began appearing in WND.
Hentoff left the Voice after he looked into the abortion industry, was shocked by what he found and had a falling-out with colleagues.
The First Amendment expert still hews left on many issues, railing against former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, the prison at Guantanamo Bay and the National Defense Authorization Act.
But he hasn’t liked Obama from the start.
“Within a few months after he was elected, I wrote a column saying he was going to be the most destructive, dangerous president we’ve ever had,” he said.
Hentoff said people he’d known for years told him to stop being so negative and to give Obama a chance.
“Well, we’ve given him a chance. I understated the case a little.”
In other words, Hentoff thinks Obama is the most dangerous and destructive president ever.
And, that’s why the veteran journalist thinks it’s time to begin looking into impeachment.
Get the bumper sticker that tells everyone to Impeach Obama!
“He has no right to do these executive orders,” Hentoff insisted, his voice reaching a crescendo of indignation.

He says Obama gets away with it only because there is no outrage in Congress, no coverage by the media and no knowledge by the public.
“He’s in a position now where he figures he’s going to do whatever he wants to do.”
In fact, Hentoff said, Obama doesn’t even pretend to care about the separation of powers between the executive branch and Congress anymore, because “He’s the boss and hardly anybody cares enough” to stop him.
The most well-known examples of Obama changing or issuing laws with the stroke of a pen by issuing executive orders include:
- Delaying the employer mandate in Obamacare
- Changing the types of plans available under Obamacare
- Ensuring abortions would be covered under Obamacare
- Enacting key provisions of the failed Dream Act to halt deportations of illegal immigrants
- Enacting stricter gun-control measures
- Sealing presidential records
- Creating an economic council
- Creating a domestic policy council
- Changing pay grades
As WND previously reported, even the the far left-leaning FactCheck wrote, “It’s true that President Obama is increasingly using his executive powers in the face of staunch Republican opposition in Congress. He’s changed federal policies on immigration and welfare and appointed officials without congressional approval.”
“I would say that never before in our history had a president done these things,” Hentoff mused.
He noted that while Nixon merely claimed that winning an election gave him the right to do what he wanted, Obama is actually doing whatever he pleases.
The journalist said he doesn’t think any other president has acted so lawlessly as a matter of habit.
“So, if this isn’t a reason for at least the start of an independent investigation that would lead to impeachment, what is?”
Hentoff is baffled that Obama should escape such scrutiny when former President Bill Clinton faced impeachment just for being “a lousy liar.”
President Bill Clinton
A big part of the problem, the journalist believes, is what he calls the utter ignorance of a huge portion of the population, which is not outraged at losing its basic right to be self-governing.
And Obama “doesn’t give a damn, because he can get away with whatever he wants.”
That’s why Hentoff called this the worst state the country has ever been in, “Even worse than Woodrow Wilson’s regime, when people could be arrested for speaking German.”
Compounding the problem he says, is the digital age, which has allowed the president to engage in unprecedented domestic spying with the apparatus of the National Security Agency.
WND asked if Obama really posed such a threat, considering he was a professor of constitutional law.
“People forget, he taught a course that he was not fully qualified to teach. But nobody seemed to care,” Hentoff observed.
He also pointed out that Obama was the only editor of the Harvard Law Review to never publish an article, something that went virtually unnoticed when voters considered his qualifications.
“See, that was a case of affirmative-action and people feeling, ‘Hey we ought to do something important, symbolically, and here’s a black guy, and he’s articulate, so we’re gonna do this.’”
Hentoff mentioned that former U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, the man Time Magazine once called “the most doctrinaire and committed civil libertarian ever to sit on the court,” once personally lectured him that “Affirmative-action on a racial basis is a total violation of the 14th Amendment, no doubt about it.”
And, referring to Obama’s presidency, the journalist said, “That’s what that kind of affirmative-action did for us.”
He told WND that he firmly believed the president does not care about due process, the separation of powers, the concept of a self-governing republic or many other basic American ideals.
And that’s why, he said, “What Obama is doing now is about as un-American as you can get.”
Hentoff wanted to make sure no one thought he was engaging in hyperbole.
He said it was literally true that Obama is “the most un-American president we’ve ever had.”
And just to make sure everybody heard him, he added, “I hope the FBI got all of that.”
Hentoff is just the latest public figure to be added to the growing list of those mentioning the possible impeachment of President Obama.

the sleezy progressives run the propaganda machine-
Nazi Propaganda: 1933-1945
Propaganda was central to Nazi Germany. This page is a collection of English translations of National Socialist propaganda for the period 1933-1945, part of a larger site on German propaganda. The goal is to help people understand the great totalitarian systems of the twentieth century by giving them access to primary material. The archive is substantial. If you are looking for something specific, try the search function. For further information on the German Propaganda Archive, see the FAQ.
My book Bending Spines: The Propagandas of Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic (Michigan State University Press, 2004) provides an analysis of much of the material on the German Propaganda Archive. It can be ordered in the United States through amazon.com in either the hardcover edition is out of print, but the paperback edition remains available. My most recent book is Landmark Speeches of National Socialism (Texas A&M University Press). It is available inhardcover and paperback editions.

The Dehumanizing Morality of the Communist Left
Posted By David Risselada on Jan 20, 2014 in Articles, Communism, Politics | 10 Comments
If anything describes the true intent of the left and their desire to eliminate those who oppose their ideals, then it is the recent announcement of New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo proudly proclaimed that those who are pro-life and pro-Second Amendment are not welcome in his state. He also made it clear that Roman Catholics are not welcome as well. Actually, he flat out said that “extreme conservatives” have no place in the state of New York, and they should leave.
Perhaps this isn’t a bad idea. Maybe patriotic Americans who are still lucky enough to be living in states that have conservative leadership should begin petitioning their governments to force liberals to leave. People who are dumb enough to support abortion, but oppose the right to self-defense, for example, may find that they are much more at home in the state of New York than say, Oklahoma. Maybe we can trade because I can assure you; these types of imbeciles aren’t wanted here. The difference between a conservative and a liberal is that we actually believe these people have a right to their opinion, so we would never force them to leave. Given the fact that homosexuality has allegedly become far more accepted, it’s safe to say that conservatives are far more likely to compromise than liberals, as evidenced by this announcement by Cuomo. Also, we are dumb enough to believe that liberals share the same sentiment, and because we are people that can be reasoned with, we expect the same from them. There is no reasoning with people who hate you.
Cuomo’s position is the epitome of the Left’s attitude and their so called “moral superiority.” The hypocrisy is astonishing as they move closer and closer to becoming the new fascists. The left would have you believe that their acceptance of homosexuality and opposition to gun rights is the moral high ground, and because Christians believe in marriage, as defined by the Bible, and gun ownership, we are the oppressors. The fact that there isn’t a single conservative anywhere moving to force homosexuals out of their community means absolutely nothing, nor does the fact that we believe “gay” people have the same constitutional right to gun ownership as you and I do. In fact, homosexual people have every right, under the U.S. constitution, to petition their government for a redress of grievances, and in many instances they have had success doing so. Now, the rights to have an oppositional opinion are being outright denied by this Fascist who occupies the governor’s office.
This moral relativism allows those seeking to silence their opposition to become fascists by claiming that they are fighting oppression by doing so. Its o.k. in the minds of liberals to discriminate against white males, Christians, pro-lifers and gun owners because it’s our fault the world suffers. The best analogy in which to describe this is the Showtime drama, Dexter. Dexter describes the minds of liberals perfectly. Dexter is a deranged serial killer who had been taught a “secret code” which enabled him to focus his efforts on killing only serial killers, so all of his murders were justified. These people were bad, and this moral code is the justification which will be used to eliminate them. Talk about psychological conditioning.
Essentially, this is what is happening in New York. Entire groups of people are being “de-humanized” under the guise of being morally inferior to the “new morality” of liberalism.
This is not a new phenomenon. Any society that has engaged in mass genocidal campaigns first had to dehumanize their populations in order to do so. It had to become “morally acceptable” to kill millions of people, and by portraying those going against the agenda as uncompassionate, or less than human, the stage was set to convince the masses to turn their hatred and fabricated aggression toward them. It was believed that by eliminating those deemed to be “detestable” by the state; a more perfect society would emerge as those standing in the way were removed. History tells us that the only thing that emerged from those lies was a pile of skulls and empty shoes.
Since the election of Barack Hussein Obama, promises of hope and change faded fast and were replaced with fear and confusion. Attempts to divide Americans along racial lines have done nothing but paint a portion of society as being less than human through White Privilege education. Whites are oppressors, and blacks are victims. People who have never committed a crime in their life are now the focus of an aggressive, hateful campaign designed to make them look like hateful killers simply because they own a gun. Never mind that all of the recent mass shooters were liberals who hated Republicans. The lies of the communist left have reduced those that cherish life to demons while those that hate all that is different from them are portrayed as champions of civil rights. Which direction do you think this is going people?
It’s beyond obvious that Conservatives and Christians stand in the way of this communist agenda, and it is obvious that we are systematically being dehumanized. Is this move by Cuomo only the first in which we can expect to see more? If so, who is going to stand and fight for our civil liberties?
