Obama the Constitutional Scholar wants to repeal the First Amendment
The Democrats swear guest lecturer Barry Soetoro really is a Constitutional Scholar. Maybe. If by “constitution” you mean one like they have in Kenya.
No, that’s not a birther joke. It’s a socialist dictator joke.
Because only an aspiring tin pot third world dictator would dream of restricting our freedom of speech. But yesterday that’s precisely what President Obama said he wants to do during an internet town hall on the website Reddit.
President Barack Obama endorsed a constitutional amendment that would restrict the free-speech rights of political activist groups by overturning the Supreme Court decision in the landmark Citizens United v FEC case that granted First Amendment rights to corporations.
“Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United,” Obama wrote during a question and answer session on the website Reddit on Wednesday.
OK first off, here’s a not so minor nit — SCOTUS did not “grant” First Amendment rights to corporations. SCOTUS affirmed that the Constitution grants those rights. Free speech isn’t like the mythical “right to privacy” Harry Blackmun pulled out of his ass back in 1973. The actual words “freedom of speech” are right there in black and white. They’re kinda hard to miss.

0bama only studied con law so he could destroy the constitution. Every time I have heard them refer to as a con-law professor it shocked me to hear it.
He is for sure a CON-man. And he would take away each and every right he could get away with stealing from us. I think his whole strategy is to figure out how to do that.
I hate the son of a bitch traitor, but I have to be honest by saying that he is no totally stupid. He is like a serpent calculating how to maneuver so he can catch his next meal.
Whatever knowledge he possesses you can bet he will try to use it against us and in favor of our enemies because his goal is to destroy America.
He has to go! We don’t have a choice if we want to remain free.

He basically just said, “Fuck SCOTUS. We’ll do it in Congress”.
The Amendment Process takes a 2/3 majority in both the House and Senate just to be considered – then 3/4 of the States have to ratify it.
Does anybody think there’s a chance in hell of that happening?
And what does Barry do when he feels Congress is moving too slowly or us unable to act because of “GOP gridlock”?

There was never any doubt in my opinion, as to what his intention is. His objective, and it’s crystal clear, is to fundamentally change us, just like he said in ’08.

Put God back into the political discourse or this is what our future holds for us.

Which marble-mouthed Foghorn Leghorn was it a few years ago, who said, “We got too MUCH of this free speechifyin’ goin’ on ’round here!”?
Was that ol’ Fritz Hollings of SC – one of Robert Byrd’s ol’ “bedsheet buddies” back in the day?
NICE job quoting KLANSMEN there, Obamassar!

@Common Core: Reality check–you’re not free now and never have been in your entire life. What percentage of income is forced via the point of a gun by local, state, and federal governments. How many thousands of laws usurp the Constitution? How many regulations stifle your ability to make a living for you and your family? The U.S. has been a socialist country since FDR. You and everyone else that comments on this site (and similar sites) are the proverbial frogs in the soon to be boiling pot. Because the citizens have been apathetic we are now on the verge of becoming a COMMUNIST/FASCIST TOTALITARIAN country which, of course, is worse than where we currently stand. Question is–what are YOU going to do about it?

You don’t know me, you don’t know my family, and you don’t know shit about how free I live. And it’s not your place to question me, I probably have a good twenty years on you at least and I don’t appreciate your disrespectful tone.
You don’t have the slightest clue about what I and my people are doing, but I’d bet a hundred bucks it’s as much or more than what you do for freedom.
I have a hell of a better life than my ancestors did a hundred or even two hundred years ago, but I still hold to their traditional values and attitudes.
I am free, always have been, always will be. I feel sorry for you if you are not free.
You wouldn’t talk to me like that to my face Billy boy, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t do that here.

Thank you, Common Core! Someone else gets it!
Obama studied our Constitution for the same reason I’ve studied The Communist Manifesto, Rules for Radicals, and The Coming Insurrection – “Study your opponent in order to defeat him.”
Think about it: the knowledge that a locksmith uses to repair and maintain a lock is the very same knowledge a burglar uses to bypass it altogether.
Don’t judge a man solely on his knowledge, but also by what he intends to do with it.

@Common Core Corruption and @ Billy Fuster, there is much more you’d agree on than disagree on.
You sound like colonial patriots Thos. McKean and Gen. Caesar Rodney. Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.

Dude, that is some good advice and sound wisdom.
