When a man takes the office of president, he swears to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Does that not include enforcing the laws that have been passed by previous legislative branches and signed by a former president? The Defense of Marriage Act was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. President Obama ordered his Justice Department to ignore the law. Is it alright for the man to pick and choose the laws that he likes, or dislikes? I thought that America was a land of laws, not of men.
The president said that there was nothing that he could do about integration without Congressional participation, but a little light came on in his head and he decided that allowing certain young folks to remain might just possibly gather a few more votes.
The best that I can tell, the Constitution is a thorn in his side and he will continue to shred it.
The man lied to the American people about what caused the death of the four Americans in Benghazi. He and his puppets said the cause for the attack was a YouTube video, which was released in July. In reality, it was a well-planned attack by a terrorist group on the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers. Is the death of four of our brave citizens just a “bump in the road,” as the president said in an interview?
According to Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the EPA is supposed to release their agenda proposals every six months as prescribed by law. The fact of the matter is that none have been released since 2011. The president ordered that no agenda be released until after the election. The man has no regard for the laws of this country.
If you believe that President Obama is concerned about the middle class, you might want to take a look at what happened to the middle class in other countries that were foolish enough to believe the lies of a arrogant, egoistical dictator.

NOW HEAR THIS: ‘What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate’
This famous quote addressing communication failure is a classic line from the 1967 movie “Cool Hand Luke,” starring Paul Newman. Strother Martin, who played the role of the warden in a southern prison, would use this phrase every time he gave Luke a good whack with his baton. The concept resonated so well with moviegoers that it was voted No. 11 of the 100 all-time favorite movie quotes according to the American Film Institute.

TISCIONE: Woe for calling evil good
You don’t often see “woe” used in an article. It’s a word that has fallen out of usage in our day. But it’s a word that ought to be understood and taken seriously.

Letters to the Editor – May 15, 2013
I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to the slobs, idiots and inconsiderate people who continually decorate the beautiful Texas landscape with their trash. I guess it’s really a form of art with beer bottles and cans, boxes, plastic drink containers, food packaging and just about anything else you can think of. It just doesn’t appeal to me. Thank you.

NOW HEAR THIS: Not by the hairs of my chinny chin chin
I had never really considered this possibility, but every one of the Three Little Pigs was almost certainly a guy. I know that assumption is not particularly popular from an equal opportunity standpoint, but the fact is fairly certain. How do I know? They all three had hair on their chinny chin chins.
