Obama's Persecution of Dinesh D'Souza

Obama's Persecution of Dinesh D'Souza

 

Dinesh D’Souza fits most of the criteria of Barack Hussein Obama’s favored and favorite people: an immigrant, a minority, a person of color.  However, D’Souza lacks a few essential elements for inclusion in the president’s exclusive club: He’s a Christian conservative and, worse, he’s not especially fond of Obama or what he is doing to our country.

In fact, D’Souza, a best-selling author and filmmaker, is even farther from being a liberal than most members of the small band of Hollywood conservatives so it was only a matter of time before Obama’s intolerant henchmen in Eric Holder’s Department of Justice went after him.

And, go after him they did, with a vengeance, by indicting him for alleged violations of campaign finance laws.

D’Souza’s alleged crime?  Donating $20,000 to the 2012 senatorial campaign of an old Dartmouth College friend, conservative Republican Wendy Long, who was challenging liberal Democrat New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.  He was charged with one count of making illegal campaign contributions, carrying a maximum sentence of two years in prison and one count of causing false statements to be made to the FEC, carrying a maximum of five years and released on $500,000 bond.

TheBlaze.com illustrated the exorbitance of that half-million dollar figure by posting a list of nine hardened criminals who had bail set for lesser amounts.

The list includes ex-convict Darnell Richmond who was charged with robbing or attempting to rob four people and raping one victim three months after he got out of prison, Barry Eltman charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child after he allegedly attacked a 15-year-old family member, and Jon Michael Jones who was being held on a charge of intentional child abuse and inflicting serious injury on his newborn infant. . .

The Dire State of the American Union

The Dire State of the American Union

 

Regardless of what pap President Barack Hussein Obama serves up to the American people when he delivers his State of the Union speech on Tuesday, most if not all of it will be meaningless.

His expected appeal to end America’s “income inequality” by hiking the national minimum wage and extending federal unemployment benefits, his assurances that Obamacare is a rousing success, his pleas to fix our broken immigration policies, his dire warnings about global warming, his misrepresentations of our sputtering economy, his rosy descriptions of his foreign policy achievements? 

All are meaningless since Obama has effectively declared he doesn’t give a damn about anything anyone thinks.

His only real concern is the November 4th midterm elections which promise to either make or break the final two years of his presidency.

The SOTU is delivered annually to a joint session of Congress in accordance with the Constitution’s mandate under Article II, Section 3 that the president “shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”

Obama’s recommendations to Congress in 2014 have never been more “necessary and expedient” at the same time they have never been more useless and irrelevant since he has already indicated his intent to bypass our legislators to get his way.  As he arrogantly, petulantly told his Cabinet recently, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone–and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball.”

Obama’s liberal-leftist “balls” have largely been thwarted by ballsy Republican conservatives in the House of Representatives so our reputed constitutional scholar-president has decided he will simply ignore the Constitution and Congress by “legislating” via executive fiat in order to advance his extremist agenda.

Adolph Hitler and Joe Stalin must be Barack Obama’s unacknowleged heroes, in addition to his known heroes Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers, all of whom would gleefully approve his unprecedented, authoritarian power grab.

When Obama struts to the podium next Tuesday, the most important issues facing our country will not be troubling him at all. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35273.)
