So the President is making an executive order on immigration because the current session of Congress cant do anything; and it doesn't look like the next one will accomplish much/anything for the American people. Republican/Tea Partiers are angry and their thralls, conservatives and libertarians, are as well. To this, I am refering to....how...these people have responded to the news.
This article has many 'goodies' from conservatives and libertarians displaying 'shock value' and 'dis-respectfulness to the office of the President'. The images come from the Drudge Report. In....TRUE.....Drudge fashion, everything is written to the reader as: fear, Fear....FEAR!
We are going to see anarchy (or the RED BOLD VERSION OF ANARCHY as shown on the Drudge)? Mass Hysteria? Better get those guns and head for the bunker. Please...stay there for the next....forever....ok?
But its more than just the usual talking heads here. These people have thrown out the history books, logic, reasoning, or even behaving like a responsible adult. Going back to the Eisenhower Administration, each US President has used the executive privilege as it could concern with the immigration debate. Numbers dont seem to matter to those on the political 'right'. If one person was found guilty in a court of law for voter fraud, the 'right' would spew forth tens of thousands of other examples of the same (without showing actual evidence of wrong doing of course....). That the 'right' displays a total lack of understanding with the ACA's numbers shows they should visit public libraries more often. So a few million person's in the nation are allowed to live here, because..."We the People..." have decided so. Its called 'elections'. We had an election in 2012 for President. Mr. Romney lost by a wide margin.
Yes, former President Eisenhower to Mr. Obama, have used the executive privilege on the topic of immigration. That would include, former Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush. Last I checked, all three were voted in by Republicans, right? If they can 'do no wrong' using this form of policy negotiation, then Mr. Obama can as well.
Why does the 'right' behave this way? Why do they behave like little children? Its one thing to establish a person is against the President's viewpoint on a particular topic. But there are ways of doing like an adult rather than an eight your old child. We even see it right here on the forums. Why do you many of you behave like children on this and other topics? If you want your guns, then the expectation is you behave like an adult all the time, right? Shouldn't this apply to non-gun owners as well? Yes.
I can not look at the rantings of some of these well known types of conservative politics (referring to the Media Matters article), and wonder "Could this incite someone of lesser reasoning and wisdom to 'take matters into their own hands' and do something....dreadful"? The answer is 'yes', its called 4/19/95. Not many people get the reference without looking it up. That we have so many ignorant, that we are foolishly daring to allow history to repeat itself. I sincerely hope not!
