The United States Constitution specifically says, in Article II, Section 2, that the office of the President shall "by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate" nominate all major appointments but now, a Senate Bill S.679 introduced by Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer, a Marxist who is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, plans to give Barack Hussein Obama II sole power to appoint, without the advise and consent of the Senate, anyone he wants. That means without a Senate committee to check the background of a future Obama appointment, he can set up anyone he wants. Anyone. Look at the list of names below that he already has placed in power and you can only imagine how much worse it could be.
CONGRESS SET TO END OVERSIGHT OF OBAMA APPOINTEES
OPENS FLOODGATE FOR NEW EXTREMIST CZARS
SENATE BILL 679 MUST BE STOPPED
Back in January, we reported that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell cut a compromise with Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid which would reduce Congressional oversight of Obama appointees by as much as one third. That "deal" is now taking official shape in the deadly Senate Bill 679. Republicans and Democrats alike are granting this Constitution trampling bill their stamp of approval as yet another nail on the coffin of American liberty is pounded down – unless you act against this travesty TODAY!
Reid is billing this compromise as a way to make government more efficient. But Constitution-loving Americans are very alarmed, and with good reason. So far, Obama has made a concerted effort to name the most outrageously radical Leftists to the highest administration positions he can finagle – many, like his "czarships" extra-Constitutional positions. Let's take a moment to review some of the extremists with whom Obama has surrounded himself:
- John Holdren – Science Czar: Co-wrote a 1970s college textbook in which he proposed mass sterilization chemicals be added to the nation's water supply and advocated forced abortions in an effort to "control population." Ehrlich/Holdren, Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment, W H Freeman & Co, 1977.
- Cass Sunstein – Regulatory Czar: Has written numerous books and articles in which he argues animals should be able to sue their owners; argued that government has the right to determine which living persons are fit to be permitted continued life, and can HARVEST THEIR ORGANS WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION!
- Dawn Johnson – Justice Department Nominee: As a radical NARAL lawyer, Johnson referred to women as "fetal containers," declared pregnancy a form of slavery and characterized pre-born human babies as parasites to the mother.
- Kevin Jennings – Safe Schools Czar: As a high school teacher in 1998, Jennings learned of the statutory rape of a 15 year old, but failed to report it to the authorities as was his legal duty. In 2000, his foundation GLSEN gave a class to young children that graphically described and promoted unorthodox sex techniques. His 2007 memoir unapologetically detailed and even celebrated his active drug use in the 1980s. Jennings has repeatedly written articles and given speeches demanding homosexuality be "promoted" in public schools.
- Ezekiel Emmanuel – Health Policy Advisor: Has advocated withholding medical treatment from "non-productive" members of society, specifically the elderly and CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES! Emmanuel, "Where Civic Republicanism and Deliberative Democracy Meet", The Hastings Center Report, 1996.
- Elena Kagan – Supreme Court Justice: As a political advisor and White House legal counsel to President Bill Clinton, Kagan falsified evidence and tampered with witness testimony in the partial birth abortion ban case before the Supreme Court. She lied about this during her nomination hearings for the SCOTUS. Legal sanctions and a possible class action lawsuit demanding her disbarment is underway.
- Dalia Mogahed – Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Advisor: Openly supports Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), The Muslim Brotherhood and denies that there is any connection between radical Islam and terrorists.
- Harold Koh – Legal Adviser for the Department of State: Asserts US courts should accept and use International law rather than US Constitutional law even in American civil courts.
- Bill Ayers & Bernadine Dohrn –Personal Advisors: Ayers and Dohrn, while not formally in the Obama administration, literally launched Obama's political career in the living room of their Chicago home, holding Obama's first Senate fund raiser and helping mold his political rise to power. Ayers and Dohrn were leaders of America's infamous "home grown terrorists," known as The Weathermen, who declared war on and terrorized the United States throughout the 1960s and 70s. The group was responsible for 25 bombings, some fatal, including those of the US Capitol building (1971), the Pentagon (1972), and the State Department building (1975). "I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough," Ayers told the New York Times in 2001. Ayers apparently ghostwrote Obama's largely fictitious "autobiography."
The Executive, Congressional and the Judicial branches each take oaths to uphold the Constitution. But in order for those oaths to mean anything, each separate branch must actually perform its duty. Each branch of government has an essential role to play to ensure our Constitution remains intact and effective – and our three separate but equal branches of government sustain a balance of power. If any one of the branches fails to perform its duty of vigilance and oversight of the other two, another branch has the opportunity to grow to become a power unto itself – completely negating the vital balance that sustains our Republic and holds government power in check.
By conceding to relinquish oversight to even a portion of Barack Obama's appointees, Senator McConnell is not only allowing the rogue occupant of the Oval Office to appoint more radical extremists to the highest levels of government, he is also empowering Obama to seize unprecedented control over the country – and place it in the hands of seditionists and avowed Marxists bent on the destruction of America's forms and institutions of government, and her Constitution.
We must demand that McConnell and the rest of the Senate Republicans refuse to fall prey to Harry Reid and Barack Obama's dirty scheme to use unhindered appointment of radicals to remake America into a Marxist dictatorial society. FAX CONGRESS NOW. TIME IS SHORT AND WE MUST NOT ALLOW BARACK OBAMA TO APPOINT MORE LEFT-WING EXTREMISTS! STOP S.B. 679!

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, has a reputation for being a very smart power player but this time he has sold out the principles of the Republican Party and the country in order to play politics with the devil. Our only hope to stop this plan is in the Republican-controlled House. Lets hope they don't try to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like they have done before on recent issues. Speaker of the House John Boehner announced this week that there is NO WAY he will stop the raising of the debt ceiling. He went on to add that he will force Obama to cut trillions from the federal budget. Using WHAT, his tanned good looks and maybe a few tears?
But wait, isn't Boehner the same tough talker whose deft negotiating skills won us a mammoth and Republic-saving $125 billion in spending cuts like the GOP promised? Oops no, he caved. That's right – he wrested out a whopping $365 million.
Looks like McConnell has mustered all his support for Paul Ryan's budget , I'll vote for it... but I do not support it. Too much of a cut for him to stomach, 5.8 trillion. We need a real conservative in his place. He is too worried about re-election to save the country. This is a matter of national sovereignty and security. He must not stay awake at night worrying about this.....McConnell leaves that to us.Now this... he is a very busy liberal. James Buckmaster

What they appear to be and what they are so difficult to ascertain.
ReplyDeleteTo KYConservDemocrat: Thanks for reading my blog. I am forever grateful for some conservative Democrats in Kentucky for giving us Concealed Carry permits. You may want to know that many Democrats in Kentucky are far more conservative than most of the Republicans were in New York, where I lived before moving here 20 years ago. But something strange happens to our elected representatives when they go to Washington. Maybe it is the toxic atmosphere that makes them lose their principles.
