‘By Force of Patriots’ A Must Read

I Just finished reading a novel that made me break out in a cold sweat. “By Force of Patriots” assumes that Barack Obama wins a second term. It also assumes that his successor is even further to the left and that general amnesty of illegal aliens ensures the Democrats win all elections.

Well, you get the picture.

Michigan attorney and firearms expert Cameron Reddy paints a frightening picture of the future in his first novel.

“By force of Patriots” is a must read for any American concerned about the direction Obama and the Democrats are taking the county.

Purchase the book at Amazon or check out Cameron's website.

Also, be sure to read Cameron’s latest article at the American Thinker.

Happy Birthday, America!

Money For Nothing

Today’s Supreme Court ruling finding Obamacare Constitutional as a tax reminds me of this routine done by Politizoid.

It's Surprising Who Says the President Doesn's Have the Authority to Suspend Deportations

resident Obama announced that the government will cease deporting certain young illegal aliens. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is filing suit against Obama,saying the president lacks the authority to grant de facto amnesty by not enforcing federal law.
Other politicians have also said the president lacks the constitutional authority including -- President Obama himself!

“With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order — that’s just not the case. Because there are laws on the books, that Congress has passed — and I know that everybody here at Bell is studying hard so you know we’ve got three branches of government. Congress passes the laws. The Executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement the laws, and then the Judiciary has to interpret the laws. There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system, that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president.” -- President Barack Obama, Univision Town Hall, March 28, 2011

An Administration of Firsts

Not only is Barack Obama the first African-American president, his administration has an impressive record of many firsts. Blogger Doug Ross lists many of them:

President Barack Obama's Complete List of Historic Firsts

Contrast in Leadership and Character

President Obama recently took a "victory lap" on the one-year anniversary of the military operation that killed Osama bin Laden. The president's supporters hailed it as an example of courageous leadership.

It was portrayed as an especially courageous decision because there was no guarantee the operation would succeed; remember the failed Iran hostage rescue mission of the Carter Administration.

So, just in case it failed, the Obama Administration took certain steps. According to former Attorney General Michael Mukasey in an article published in the Wall Street Journal, a memo was prepared blaming a general for the mission's failure.

That was a highly lawyered memo (designed to protect the president politically)... I think there's going to be more that's going to be tumbling out about that escapade but so far that memo is enough.

Of course, when the mission succeeded, Obama took full credit.

Contrast this with the actions of Dwight Eisenhower who faced a similar situation in 1944 as supreme commander of Allied forces. It was called D-Day, the Normandy Invasion to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny.

Eisenhower also knew there was a very real possibility that the invasion would fail, costing the lives of thousands of American, British and Canadian soldiers and setting the Allied cause back months and even years. So, Eisenhower also prepared a memo in case the invasion failed.

My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.

When the invasion succeeded, Eisenhower also made a statement concerning who was responsible.

One week ago this morning there was established through your coordinated efforts our first foothold in northwestern Europe. High as was my preinvasion confidence in your courage, skill and effectiveness ... your accomplishments ... have exceeded my brightest hopes. ... I truly congratulate you upon a brilliantly successful beginning. ... Liberty loving people everywhere would today like to join me in saying to you, 'I am proud of you.'

And herein is the difference in leadership and character between a true hero and someone who merely pretends.
