Obama Orders Study on Socialism - Chuck Norris - Townhall Conservative

Obama Orders Study on Socialism - Chuck Norris - Townhall Conservative Looks like Obama has ordered a study of our current government to see if we have too many or too redundant regulations that could possibly slow economic growth or adversely affect American businesses. As with so many things in this administration, this executive order looks and sounds good on the surface. In fact there are some from both parties who think that this review is a good first step, as indicated in some of the articles below.  But we are always left to wonder about Obama's true intentions especially when he orders the government to police itself without an outside, non-government independent audit. Now that we have a new congress we need to be very concerned about President Obama's executive power and closely scrutinize every executive order he signs. We have to be careful that we don't become so focused on the legislature that we miss critical executive decisions. We need to understand the importance of executive power and how it could be used against us. Now is the time to be even more vigilant because government by executive order is a clear path to dictatorship and most definitely unconstitutional.

Roger Pilon: Congress Rediscovers the Constitution - WSJ.com The first order of business in the House on Thursday will be a reading aloud of the Constitution. A simple reading will not solve all our problems. But hopefully hearing the words written by our Founding Fathers will remind our congressmen that legislation must be rooted firmly in the Constitution, our law of the land.

DREAM Act cloture fails, 55-41 « Hot Air

DREAM Act cloture fails, 55-41 « Hot Air Thank God we got this one. I now no longer have a knot in my chest that made me feel like I was having a heart attack.  If an ECG had been done on me earlier this morning before the vote it probably would have looked like this picture! Let's hope for a better legislative year in 2011. I don't think my poor heart can take another one like 2010. 

As for DADT, I am no fan of the repeal but it is a done deal now.  It is time to sort out once and  for all if gays will be able to serve openly and successfully in the military.  Many of our finest troops  are gay and they deserve a chance.  But if this fails the damage to the military will be immeasurable.  I hope our leaders realize this and are prepared to shoulder the consequences.
