Obama dictator?

[Jeffwhosoever]

No, that wasn't my intent. I was referring to whether the federal government took care of something vs. the state government. For example, Colorado (I think) passed a law legalizing MJ. Now we have a clear example of states rights vs. federal rights. I was however referring more specifically to Obama's preference for federal programs, aka "Obamacare", vs. State run health programs. Obama believes the federal government and a board of 15 doctors should decide what treatments I can get for different medical conditions, and I fundamentally disagree.

Did you even read the story? It was done by a Republican protesting the re-election of Obama. If anything you should be mad at Republicans for disrespecting our flag.

Sheesh.[/Q

Yes I did, never seen someone do that before though.

Then you do not get out much or read very widely.

Flying the US flag upside down is a signal of distress and many groups take to doing so when they are out of power or feel slighted.

It must be the dark skin that makes him "look" evil.

Why do you think dark skin makes people look evil?

Oh and a blog with no sources is a waste of space and should be read for amusement purposes only.

So when you said;



I was focusing on "states rights" in your post.

Many feel that "states rights" were part of the causus belli in the Civil War. (Obviously along with such bigger issues as Slavery)

This is an ongoing and always present concept in the US but the Civil War kind of put things in favor of a strong federal government and limits on states rights.

Hence my comment that the South lost. We are not a "confederacy".

Wow you just grabbed that one and ran blindly didn't you?

You know who else has invoked the concept of states rights? Obama when he stated that equal marriage was a states issue.

Obama supports same-sex marriage, cites states' rights | Conservative News, Views & Books

Contact the White House | The White House

Here, contact him and tell him the civil war is over too.

Cool, that was done by a Republican throwing a hissy fit about Obama winning.

It is literally the opposite of your intent. If anything, it proves that Republicans are the anti-American ones (though mostly, it proves that the people who run McDonalds' are ridiculous...

Me thinks you are being trolled

And OP... no Obama isn't a dictator. However he and the man he's doing his best to imitate have done a really great job opening the way for one.

That piece shows... little evidence of rational thought (or at least, rational legal thought).

Going beyond the statutory interpretation points - including the need for textual, contextual, and purposive reading which would naturally read down the board's powers - there's a simpler argument that kinda destroys the point of the piece.

It's a pretty fundamental part of the common law (and thus, I would hope similar in the US as it is in Canada) that first instance courts are courts of inherent jurisdiction. It's been repeatedly found that just because an authorizing piece of legislation says "decisions of this tribunal/board are not subject to review" doesn't mean it's not subject to review. All administrative action is reviewable. So will this Board's.

Him and many others before him, the congress of those presidents are just as guilty for letting them get away with it.
EDIT: And why in the world is my quote so wide?

You mean as opposed to the Insurance Companies that determine that now?

Then you need to take it up with Jeff because he was the one who said:

He certainly does believe in a strong federal government over states rights/self government.

I didn't bring any of that up. That was ALL Jeff. I only responded.

What is this all about ?? It dont look good though.

In 2014, The Obama Dictatorship Will Be Complete

If Obama were smart he would have just moved up this so called Dictatorship up to 2012 and just called off the elections.

....it is really getting hard to take you guys serious.

None of what Jeff said was wrong, and yes it was you who brought up the Civil War. I mean seriously:

Ummm, check yer history books. The South lost about 150 years ago.

That's just taking it and running with it so far you get lost.

It's kinda funny since he's using the expanded executive powers Bush and Cheney grabbed and used after 9/11 and the "patriot" act

So trust no one? LOL. Glad you admit all sources have bias, most of that liberal.

McDonald's owner hangs flag upside-down

I hope that "owner" cleared his stunt with corporate in Oak Brook, because as a franchisee, he's required to run his operation in accordance with corporate standards.

When it comes to blogs the only ones I trust are the one with links to solid news sources.
