Extraordinary Circumstances

So Eric Holder says that in extraordinary circumstances, the president can have Americans killed on American soil. And what are these extraordinary circumstances? We’ll just leave that to the imagination. I’m guessing something involving low poll numbers.

What do you think those extraordinary circumstances are?

  1. * Gee, Mr. President, wouldn’t you just LOVE to be that judge of “extraordinary circumstances?” Of course you would! And now, your gun-runner in chief says it’s legal! Yay!

    Meanwhile, Chris Matthews is having a tingling boom-boom in his pants.

  2. Aide: “Mr. President, the House has a counter-proposal on the budget.”
    Obama: “Really? Why, what an extraordinary situation!”
    Aide: “I don’t see th. . . oh. OH. I’ll get right on it.”

  3. “If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on
    government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be
    administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first
    enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it
    to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control
    on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary
    precautions.

    “…. On ordinary occasions it [executive power] might not be exerted with the requisite firmness, and on extraordinary occasions it might be perfidiously abused.”

    -Publius, Federalist Papers #51.

    Yep, *those* extraordinary occasions.

  4. * You correct Obama when he talks about Colin Kaepernick’s batting average.

    * You try to buy a ticket for the Intercontinental Railroad.

    * You ask Obama to converse with you in Austrian.

    * You ask Obama what the capitol of Israel is.

    * You sink a jumper that sails over Obama’s head.

    * You filibuster one of Obama’s cabinet nominees.

    * You cling to a gun and/or a Bible.

  5. And I’m starting to understand the reasoning for the Obama Census takers recording the GPS coordinates of every resident in this country.
    Oh sure, there may be some collateral damage in large apartment complexes and nursing homes and such, but hey, I’m pretty sure that rules of engagement won’t apply.

  6. And what are these extraordinary circumstances?
    Disagreeing with Barry
    Not thinking that Michelle O is the most fantastically beautiful female in the history of the galaxy
    Bitterly clinging to your guns and your Bible
    Being a veteran – you know how those veterans are all potential terrorists who need to be watched
    Thinking that Marxism works really great for ants, bees, and wasps, but not for humans
    Being any minority who voted Republican or Libertarian
    Not being a union member
    Not willing to submit to allah
    Thinking that the pREsident of the United States is required to follow the Constitution

  7. Extraordinary circumstances such as: thinking ‘bad thoughts’ about Obama; noticing that he is a liar, a racist and a foreign enemy; being a poster at IMAO; failing to buy a car that runs on batteries.

  8. Well, maybe we should start talking VERY seriously about this, Crabby.

    Various non-military, U.S. government agencies now have 100,000’s of firearms, 1.6 billion bullets in their inventory and 2600 light armored vehicles on order. With the huge increase in the use of surveillance drones by many agencies, why would Obama and his administration want the LEGAL right to perform drone strikes against U.S. citizens within the United States?

    I can only think of one reason: they expect an armed insurrection. This isn’t just Obama. These are the increasingly paranoid “powers that be” in Washington who want this. The filibuster that Rand Paul is conducting right now is by a small group of objectors.

  9. It worked great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men;… and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.”
    Rev. 12:13, 15
