“On floor of house waitin on ‘Kommandant-In-Chef’… the Socialistic dictator who’s been feeding US a line or is it ‘A-Lying?’” Weber tweeted Tuesday night at 8:09 p.m., approximately four hours before Obama’s speech was set to begin.:silly:
Republican Texas Rep. Randy Weber tweeted from the House floor that President Obama is a “Socialistic dictator” while waiting for the State of the Union to begin.

Randy Weber is a straight talking tell it like it is kind of guy! We need more like him!
Oh boy, this will be the story for the next month, just like "you lie."
Expect Weber to be publicly admonished by the House sooner or later.

Obama is a 'Socialist Dictator', or at least very much wants to be one. He has said so many times out of his own mouth, by his own words, he has said that he wants do be 'Dictator of America'.
This is no nuance, or context, or interpretation, he has said directly countless times that if he could be a Dictator, that is something he would do in a heartbeat. He's made no secret about it.

If this isn't what a dictator does, perhaps you can explain to me what is... unless you don't believe the Wallstreet Journal.......

I'm not saying Obama isn't acting like a dictator, or that he doesn't want to be a dictator. What I want is where is the soundbite in which he says he wants to be a dictator that can be easily sold to the LIVs. I don't see it in any of the videos or quotes posted.
This place has a lower IQ than TOS at times. Using the Ulsterman Report isn't going to fly with LIVs, either, even if it's 100% true.

These yahoos are trying to convince you Obama is a socialist. as if you needed convincing. They will also explain what legitimate rape is if you ask.
I know it sometimes seems like you are talking to a brick wall. I'm reading your posts and I think you are MUST READ briefingroom. Thanx for taking the slings and arrows of your lessers.
And you are so superior?
IF you would have read the article this is a WALLSTREET JOURNAL article......... Ulsterman reposted it like we do articles on this site. So...... according to the WallStreet Journal Valerie Jarrett - Obama's puppet master - told major corporations they will either play ball with this admin and do what they demand or the administration is going to sic the IRS, SEC, and whoever else they can come up with on them to make their lives miserable or even destroy their business.
IF you are looking for Obama to say he is a dictator you are not going to get that - but actions speak louder than words and when he tells people I wish I was a dictator and then he turns around and says either congress is going to do what I tell them or I will do it without them by executive action. When you have a president who unilaterally re-writes laws in the Oval Office, a president who unilaterially decides what federal laws he will enforce and which laws he will not enforce - when his oath of office says he swears to uphold our laws, and a president who uses the IRS and justice department to target people who have said something about him he doesn't like....... and turns his union thugs loose to target his enemies then I don't know what you want to call him.. Fascist definitely comes to mind...
That's not at all the point of my posts. I'm with you on how we view Obama. :whistle:
Calling Obama a dictator, when he hasn't claimed to be one, is a loser strategy. Let him defeat himself, without flanking him to the extreme side of his own actions. I realize that it's difficult for extremists anywhere to just be quiet and let their opponent lose on their own, though. Obama's actions say dictator, but that is too much for the LIVs to understand. Let Obama fail on his own, without giving him an out by people calling him names.
You are so full of sheite that your eyes are turning brown!
Calling a dictator a dictator is simply speaking the TRUTH and that is NEVER a losing strategy! I wish to live to see a lot more of it!!
Anybody to the left of Rand Paul is now considered an Obama supporter here by TPTB.
This is different than TOS ... how, exactly?
It is different, and here's why.
Back in the GWB days, TOS was full of free trade types who played the conservative purity game. I can't tell you how many times I was told to go back to the DU because I didn't favor wholesale movement of jobs to China, or some other similar issue. Those people were the right equivalent of the dogmatic leftists that we deride here.
What you see here, now is the unraveling of the GOP as the left with their fully compliant media beat conservatism and capitalism into the ground. There is a lot of anxiety and frustration. There are those that believe that supporting anyone who calls himself/herself Republican is the answer. Then there are those that don't see a dimes worth of difference between the establishment GOP and Democrats. We have no leadership, and very little hope of moving the country back to the right. That anxiety plays out here. It's a vent, it's a safety valve.
You and I aren't far apart in how we see things. What is starting to chap my behind is the posters who come in, hurl insults, tell everyone who doesn't agree with them they're stupid, sophomoric and just plain lacking sense. My anxiety level is as high as anyone's. While I don't let this anxiety affect my daily life, (that I'm aware of), I express it here. However, if someone were to be as insulting as those posters are, to my face, I'm not sure the result would be good for either of us.
And you can bet your bippie that the Democrat Party also has a "Silent, Moral Majority", that still puts Baseball, Apple Pie and Chevrolet before Redistribution of Wealth and demonizing producers.And that's why W.Va., with voter registration of at least 2:1 in favor of Dems (more like 4:1 or better in some counties), still has chosen the GOP presidential candidate since 2000 and has elected Republicans as two of its three congressional representatives.

along with reports the admin has told News corp to play ball or else.
Under Article 2, section 3 of the Constitution the President "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed" it does not say the president gets to decide what laws he WANTS to faithfully execute or that he gets to go around congress to make his own laws (like immigration laws because that mean ole congress won't vote for what he wants).
What we have at the very least is an Imperial President with no regard for co-equal branches of government and it may not many here, but I find it alarming... and it is even more alarming that Boehner is rolling over and not using his own bully pulpit to speak out against this usurping of power.
House Speaker John Boehner issued a stern warning to President Obama ahead of Tuesday night's State of the Union address: "We have a Constitution. We abide by it. If he tries to ignore it, he's going to run into a brick wall."
The House speaker was addressing concerns that Obama is preparing to bypass Congress this year with more executive actions. Advisers for days have signaled that Obama will promote that approach in his State of the Union address -- and will use his "pen" and his "phone" in 2014 to achieve the results he wants.

Boehner has spoken about it repeatedly. You've been provided links to it. Here is another one from yesterday.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/28/have-constitution-boehner-warns-obama-on-exec-orders/
What else would you like him to do? Frog-march Obama out of the White House via citizen's arrest? Boehner can call Obama out all he wants, but if the populace doesn't care, which they don't, what other tact is there to take?
Boehner warns and that is as far as he EVER goes. Remember when we learned about the IRS he ran out to the camera and said "someone is going to jail over this" and then retired back to his wine and cigarettes in the back room. Where was his outrage when Holder had a Democrat crony do a fake one day investigation and announced case solved, nothing to see here, move along.
Where was Boehner over NSA???
Where was Boehner on Benghazi? Why when 75% of congress have signed a letter wanting a select committee will he not name one or even reply to them???
Did you watch Boehner on Leno? He trashed his own party. Contrast to Te Cruz on CBS Sunday where he went hard on Obama. Remember how when Bush was President Pelosi went out daily to trash talk Bush? If Boehner is not driving his failures into the news how do you expect LIV's to know half or more of what O said last night were lies. Do you think Boehner and Cantor pushing amnesty will help us take the senate in November? I don't.
Negative, bucko, he used his bully pulpit to trash the Tea Party which happen to be his fellow Repulicans, whether he likes it or not.
Has anyone ever heard Boehner say anything at all, one single thing, that could be possibly be construed in some far out way as being negative toward OBAMA? or the DEMOCRATS?
So, you justify bad behavior with bad behavior.
"Well, Johnny did it too! Why are you picking on meeeee?"
House Speaker John Boehner issued a stern warning to President Obama ahead of Tuesday night's State of the Union address: "We have a Constitution. We abide by it. If he tries to ignore it, he's going to run into a brick wall."
Boehner, speaking later to reporters, said Obama likely has the authority to raise the wage for federal contractors. He downplayed the impact the move would have. "Let's understand something: this affects not one current contract, it only affects future contracts with the federal government. And so I think the question is, how many people, Mr. President will this executive action actually help? I suspect the answer is somewhere close to zero," he said.
But Boehner reminded the president not to overstep his bounds as he weighs other executive actions.
"House Republicans will continue to look closely at whether the president is faithfully executing the laws -- as he took an oath to do," Boehner said. "Now I think dealing with federal contracts and the minimum wage, he probably has the authority to do that but we're going to watch very closely because there's a Constitution that we all take an oath to, including him."
"House Republicans will continue to look closely at whether the president is faithfully executing the laws -- as he took an oath to do,"

Is this it? This is what you are talking about? The stern warning "We will continue to look closely at....". That is the justification that Boehner is on the ball.
WHY HASN'T HE BEEN "LOOKING CLOSELY AT"...FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS? And so what if he 'looks closely at'? Who cares? So what? What is he going to do?
I'll tell you....
Absolutely Nothing.
Exactly. What do you expect him to do?
Name a select committee to look into Benghazi for starters! And after that is done another to look into the IRS scandal! Etc Etc.
Exactly. What do you expect him to do?
Touche' man. You have accidentally won the arguement. What do I expect him to do?
Nothing. Absoltely nothing, except maybe trash more Republicans and call it the Republican's (Tea Party) fault.
What do I think should be done? Well you would have to ask Paul and Cruz about that.
A select committee is a waste of time. It's findings will be dismissed as partisan and political.

What have Cruz and Paul done to stop Obama? Also, I "won the argument" when you called me "bucko." Bigun says I have "sheite for brains," as well. When you have to resort to childish insults, the debate is lost. I don't like Boehner. I've stated this numerous times. I don't know what else to tell you.
So you say! I beg to differ very strongly!
I know that, I know where you are and that you are a good person. Bucko was a term of endearment. If we can't argue as friends, then what do we have?
That is just how I talk. It was nothing pointed specifically at you.
Take it easy. We are all on the same side.
Really? A select committee filled with GOP House members isn't going to be viewed as partisan?
There have already been 5 committees investigating Benghazi, yet this next one is going to blow the public away?
Let's be realistic here. Focus on stopping the future amnesty, and not dwelling on the past right now.
My flame suit was on, because I tend to run a bit astray from the GOPBR mainstream thought patterns. Bucko is fine. "S**t for brains" is dumb.
To find lessons to avoid pitfalls in the future, to evolve constructive suggestions for the protection of our national security, and to determine whether there were failures in our own military and naval establishments which in any measure may have contributed to the extent and intensity of the disaster.This is not intended to equate the terrorist attack in Libya with the Japanese assault (considered an “act of war”) on Pearl Harbor; it is intended merely to demonstrate that there is precedent for Congress establishing a special committee to investigate a violation of U.S. territorial integrity.
The crime (IMO) is this is going on two years..........

Select Committee on Benghazi: Precedent Exists
Morgan Lorraine Roach
December 5, 2012 at 1:30 pm
In the aftermath of the September 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, the Obama Administration announced efforts to investigate the facts behind the attack and the state of U.S. security at overseas diplomatic facilities.
While the reports, undertaken by the State Department’s Accountability and Review Board (ARB) and inspector general, have yet to be released, an additional investigation by Congress via a select or special committee could shed light on many unanswered questions.
In Congress, the House of Representatives and Senate have select, special, and joint committees that direct their attention to specific issues, conduct oversight, and investigate fraud, waste, and abuse of power (e.g., the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence). Joint committees are bicameral (e.g., the Joint Committee on Taxation). These committees were enacted by a congressional resolution and are permanent. However, select committees can also serve as temporary forums for investigating emerging issues that do not fall under existing standing committee jurisdictions or overlap jurisdictional boundaries.
The most notable select committees include the Senate’s Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (also known as “the Watergate Committee”) and the joint Congressional Committee Investigating the Iran–Contra Affair. In 1973, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, a resolution introduced by the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D–MA) passed unanimously in the Senate to form a select committee to investigate President Richard Nixon’s participation in the break-in at the Democratic National Committee offices. In 1987, the House and Senate formed a joint select committee to investigate President Ronald Reagan’s involvement in the sale of arms to Iran.
However, in neither case was there a loss of American life or a direct assault on U.S. security. A more relevant precedent for the establishment of a select committee is the 1946 Joint Congressional Committee on the Investigation of the Pearl Harbor Attack. Following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the committee was established by a joint congressional resolution to investigate the facts and circumstances leading up to and following the attack. The committee’s final report further identifies its responsibility:
This is not intended to equate the terrorist attack in Libya with the Japanese assault (considered an “act of war”) on Pearl Harbor; it is intended merely to demonstrate that there is precedent for Congress establishing a special committee to investigate a violation of U.S. territorial integrity.
In the case of the attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Congress has held briefings, hearings, and floated countless letters between Administration officials and members. Yet, as Senator Lindsey Graham (R–SC) acknowledged last month, the risk of stove-piping emerges as conflicting accounts muddle the investigatory process.
Because the Benghazi attack covers multiple congressional committee jurisdictions, the establishment of a joint select committee presents an opportunity for a proactive and coordinated approach by Congress.
I remember it like you, Rap. I believed Nixon until he wouldn't release the tapes, and then 14 minutes or so were missing. I knew then. I was heart-broken, but then, became mad as hell, and wanted him gone to get it over with. Looking back, what Nixon did is normal by today's standards.
What was done in the Nixon era would look like a Sunday School picnic in comparison with the goings on of this administration I'm afraid!
“Think of the press as a great keyboard
on which the government can play.”
― Joseph Goebbels“That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.”
― Joseph Goebbels“Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct. I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry. The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right. I speak differently in the provinces than I do in Berlin, and when I speak in Bayreuth, I say different things than I say in the Pharus Hall. That is a matter of practice, not of theory. We do not want to be a movement of a few straw brains, but rather a movement that can conquer the broad masses. Propaganda should be popular, not intellectually pleasing. It is not the task of propaganda to discover intellectual truths.”
― Joseph Goebbels“We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time,or as the greatest criminals”
― Joseph Goebbels“What does Christianity mean today? National Socialism is a religion. All we lack is a religious genius capable of uprooting outmoded religious practices and putting new ones in their place. We lack traditions and ritual. One day soon National Socialism will be the religion of all Germans. My Party is my church, and I believe I serve the Lord best if I do his will, and liberate my oppressed people from the fetters of slavery. That is my gospel.”
― Joseph Goebbels

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
― Joseph Goebbels
