The United States Is An Executive Dictatorship. Presidential Executive Orders are dictatorial powers provided to the President of the United States. PEO's bypass the constitutional requirements to pass laws through congressional approval. This makes PEO's unconstitutional. Executive orders are simply filed in the Federal Register by the President and after 30 days they become law just as though they had been passed by congress.

The Constituion was suspended on March 9th 1933, when President Franklin D. Roosecelt declared a state of national emergency and was granted a broad range of executive powers by congress to deal with the Great Depression under the War Powers Act of 1917. No president since then has ordered a proclamation ending the the national emergency. It still exists and the Constiution remains suspended, when national emergencies or wars are declared, allowing presidential executive powers to go unchecked. This also means that the president can declare a national emergency and order martial law at anytime! We lose All our Rights!

You're absolutely right; my counter attitude doesn't really serve to add anything to the discussions. So I'll try to put a little sugar in the coffee from now on.\r\n\r\nFor what it's worth though, I've seen others do this and you guys just plug your ears and try to shout them down. Fresca, nonanarchist, BA are all fairly civil with you people and you treat them like mung. So I'd argue that it's not my antagonistic attitude that you despise; it's the message that I bring.\r\n\r\nFurther, I don't consider myself a troll here. I consider this to be as much my home as it is yours. I've probably spent as much time here as you, if not more, so I'd say that should mean something. But I never came here to stir up trouble. I came here because I was curious about liberals, and radicals and such. I just want to know what makes them tick. Being an American is like being born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and I simply can't fathom what would make someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, hate America with such passion. That's what I'm here to try and understand. \r\n\r\nAnd this is something that you leftists have failed miserably to teach me. I think that might have something to do with why I act out around here so much.\r\n\r\nBut anyway, I'm pretty tired of the mud-slinging around here and the juvenile name calling. So I'll attempt to modify my behavior.\r\n\r\nHow's that?\n\n*** This comment was posted from an IP associated with a disruptive poster.
