President or King
President - an official chosen to preside over a meeting or assembly; an appointed governor of a subordinate political unit.
King - a male monarch; a paramount chief
Basically a president presides over while a king rules over. A president presides over a government of laws and is subject to those laws while a king makes laws to be imposed on others.
The question is do we now have a king in Washington D.C. or a president.
Clearly the current chief of state has exempted himself and his family and friends from the rule of law as imposed by the constitution.
Examples of this:
Stopping all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico by this country even after a federal judge ruled the order was illegal
Ordering all insurance companies to provide free birth control including abortions to all women.
Ordering what foods individuals are free to eat, while they feast on Kobe steaks and huge platters of ribs.
Refusing to abide by a budget as required by the Constitution,
Ordering Religious institutions to do things against their most basic religious beliefs and practices.
Taking money from some private institutions and giving it to favored private institution that gave huge amounts of money for his election.
Taking money from private individuals and giving it to unions then using taxpayer money to bail out two auto companies then give one company to a foreign auto company.
Taking money from responsible home owners and using it to bailout
deadbeats and people who over bought.
There are many more examples but you should see the picture by now.
When the Revolution was over and we had won our independence from England George Washington was approached with the idea of being the king of this new land, he rejected the idea choosing instead to serve eight years as president. This was the pattern until Roosevelt took control but even he was held to the Constitution. Today Obama has exceeded his authority and acted as a king with hardly an eyebrow being raised.

at first I thought this was a joke but as i read it it made more and more sense. Obama is acting like a king and above the law while his wife tells everybody else what to eat she is eating everything.
9:23 and AB, now is your chance to get out of Giles County and the Unites States. Since you disagree with the King, get the >>ll out of Dodge. We need to send some of the statements to the Secret Service. Maybe they can help with your move.
looks like the parasites are coming out. It's hard to face the facts when you feeding off the government teats.
10:42 is so typical of the loser mentality, a loser who is satisfied to be a loser.
10:42you are the parasite that needs to get out I'm tired of feeding you. there comes a time when all people need to stop breast feeding and find your own food.

When the troublemaker finally leaves, I hope you will go with him.
its that attitude that will make us loose our country---if you dont like the King move out? Nice. WE moved here to get away from the King---how about we take our Counttry back...it's not to be ruled by a King. What? the secrete service will take someone away for stating the facts? Probably so at some point if we don't elect a new head of state---eventually he''ll just say "off with their heads" if he keeps going unchecked
What about Indian Assertion? Now there's a real threat to our nation.
9:41, why do i need to leave? can't i have an opinion as you do or am i not allowed that freedom in your eyes. looks like you are part of the reason this country is in the shape it is in. if you don't like what i say that is fine. we can see what you really are by you being to chicken to put you name on here. if i were you i would not do it either. is it because you are to childish and don't want your family to know the real you. your too funny!
jerry
what is your last name jerry? My name is Brian Sumners and I would love to have you call me chicken. I will put you and your stupid comments in their place.
sounds like a death threat to me.
mr. sumners i am not in physical condition to fight you and when did i suggest that? you just proved you can put your name out. i can now see why people don't put theirs on here. so do you think making a threat like this is going to make you more of man? i am so sorry to call you a chicken. maybe i missed the call. what do other people think?
jerry
5:19
That was NOT a death threat, so stop trying to stir up trouble.
jerry....what about that last name of yours?
Death threat? You people are stupid. If someone has enough about them to call people names and mock their family, they better be tough enough to take it when someone comes back at them. I think you all are the same person trying to figure out who posts as CG. If you are going to call names, you better be willing to face what may be coming to you.
i am not trying to stir up trouble. seems like the trouble is stirred up with you, seems we have different opinions so why can't we agree to disagree. you have proved you are not a chicken in your words. i hit it wrong with you and so did you with me so drop it.
jerry
what are you going to give him big boy?
7:14 are you cg? what may be coming to those who offend you?
i don't see where jerry offended your family, just you. you are so funny.
8:03
Yes, I am a Christian and a gentleman. No, I did not make that post.
Brian
I agree with Jerry,Us working people are tired of feeding the useless eaters that feel they are intitled to FREE stuff.mr Oboma is a joke that isn't funny anymore and we the people will will vote him out in november.
Brian
I hope you are right. There should be enough Christians and Catholics alone in this country to see him defeated in a landslide. Sadly, a lot of them will go to church and praise the Lord and turn right around and vote for pro-abortion and pro-homosexual Democrats. I have NEVER understood that.
Obama for President!
VOTE NO-OBAMA!!!!!
God save our country!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama for President!
God save the King!
Somewhere in KENYA a village is missing their idiot.please come and get him.
God won't save the kang or is it king unless he repents and HE ain't gonna do that. He is not even sure there is a heaven or hell.
No one is sure, so Obama for President!
WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS 5:23
Obama for President!
NO bama
Obama for President!
Obama for dog catcher,even he is not smart enough for that job His first act would to get all black or half black dogs on wefare and food stamps."No Dog left behind"
9:56
I would disagree with you. I believe Obama is very smart, and that is dangerous. When you add to the mix his Marxist views, he is even more dangerous.
The sad thing is that his followers are like sheep who will follow him regardless of what he is doing to our nation. I see them as mentally lazy.
I once heard someone say that voters should not be allowed to vote if they don't have a certain level of intelligence and/or political awareness. I wonder? Throwing out an entitlement bone every now and then for their votes makes those people look quite stupid. Sadder yet is that there are enough of them out there to elect presidents.
I think Obama is being backed by someone outside of the US and their plans are to see the US go down. Destroied within.
7:01
I think you may be right. And he has to niow that we are giving our country away to Indians and peoples from the Caribbean. My question is WHY?
The last few posts reek of prejudice against more than one race.
Obama for President!
8:52,
Not being white doesn't mean you get to be illogical. Stop pulling the race card.
11:37 Exactly what I mean about being prejudice. I am white and proud to vote for Obama.
My question is which half of obama is being prejudiced against.
2:34
So voting for pro-abortion candidates doesn't bother you just a little bit? What about pro-gay marriage and more taxes? How about more handouts to the lazy? If you aren't bothered about these matters, then by all means, vote for Obama. He's your food stamp president. And don't forget his Muslim background.
Yes, that would be an intelligent vote for America.
2:42 Posts an evil comment and ought to be ashamed but then thats what we Southerners have a reputation for.
2:54 The Democratic stand on abortion, same sex marriage, gun control, helping the needy when necessary does NOT bother me one bit and I shall be voting FOR President Obama.
Time to enter the 21st Century people.
Helping the needy or helping the lazy?
6:28 If your neighbor had lost his job because of this economy and he fell and broke a leg while fixing his roof. Would you be willing to help him?
To me that would be helping the needy.
All needy aren't lazy.
We have more needy people today than five years ago.
4:21
Then I feel sorry for you. What does your Bible say about the killing of the unborn and about men lying with men? One day those who sponsor and support such will have to give an account.
No need to feel sorry for me.
Remember who wrote the bible.
1:55
Oh, but I do pity you. If you aren't concerned about such things as abortion (murder of children) and gay marriage, then Obama is your man. He doesn't care either. Doesn't that say a lot about the morale and character of our once great nation?
7:19 I appreciate your story and agree that person would need and deserve help. The question is for how long should that person be helped, until they were back on their feet and able to do for himself or should we take care of him for the rest of his life and sacrifice our own family's well being? Another question is how could we best help that person, by fixing his roof, providing food, shelter and other essentials or by supplying him with drugs for the rest of his life because his leg hurts, pay all his bills, provide him with food for life, a cell phone to call his dealer, provide an almost free house and give him free money to spend as he chooses?
My point is there comes a time when everyone needs some kind of help and for the most part family and friends have an obligation to provide that help. In some circumstances the government should provide a portion of that help. In all cases only the most severely handicapped should be considered for lifetime help. Most disabled people should be evaluated periodically to determine if they continue to be disabled and what if anything has been done to remove/improve the disability.
To me a lifetime disability for drug/alcohol abuse is absurd. Welfare should be temporary and determined by whether a person is preparing themselves for work. If jobs are scarce let them work for the county/city or volunteer in health/educational institutions until a regular job is obtained. Six hours of pushing a broom is far better than six hours of watching TV and it helps teach work ethics, responsibility and builds pride and self confidence.
A hand up always but no eternal handouts.
Hope all the obama supporters are loving this cheap gas he promised. Yesterday he promised to focus harder on "clean energy" guess that means our sweat while walking to the unemployment office, maybe if he gets reelected he'll give me one of those $50,000.00 electric cars so I can drive part of the way. If I get one will there be someone to help pay the increase in mt electric bill?
7:33
The problem is that there are enough uneducated and welfare dependent in this country to get Obama re-elected. And many of these people will vote for him because he has a darker skin tone or simply because he is a Democrat. It's pathetic.
Where are all the Christians and Catholics in this matter? There should be enough of them out there to see Obama soundly defeated. Where are they? I will tell you. Many of them will vote for Obama because of his race and because they (those voters) will vote for Democrats, regardless of what they stand for. I know, because I go to church with people like that who will vote for pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage candidates. The irony of it all is that these are the same people who will say "amen" when the preacher mentions that the killing of the innocent and men lying with men are wrong. Go figure. Does their political party take precendence over God's word? It apparently does.
9:26 As it should.
10:08
Are you saying politics has priority over God's word? Please tell me I misunderstood you on that.
There is no room for religion in politics.
4:09-- you are right there is no room for religion in politics,but there is plenty of room for Christianity as that
was the basis for founding our country. With a muslim president and a bunch of nothings in congress that are trying to send us all to hell. They can take everything I own, but they WILL NEVER EVER take JESUS out of my heart.
Whatever. But we DO NOT have a Muslin President. Do your homework instead of showing how prejudice you are.
5:49
Not only is the "food stamp president" a Muslim; he's also a Marxist. We have got to get him out of there next election. He is leading our once-great nation down a dangerous path.
4:32
Good post. But be careful; there are those on this blog who will laugh at you for claiming kinship with the Lord.
We have some fine Muslims in our community.
4:32--I don't care about the laughs I get about my kinship to my Heavenly Father. The thing I cry about is the people that will laugh their way to hell.
5:49--you need to get some fact right,osambama said and I heard him myself that he did not know if there was a Heaven or hell,just before he started his campaign. People please remember that he is only 16% black. He is as mixed as much as many of us, but he is not black. If you can prove he is not a muslim I will accept it. So do some research yourself. Then I will shut up about his real beliefs. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord Joshua 24:15. At least my God is alive and well, where is mohammad? DEAD!!!!
8:10
Excellent post. We serve a risen savior.
Thanks 8:10 PM for telling it like it should be.
Yall have some pretty strong beliefs. Where does the seperation of church and state fit in with those?
Wasn't my idea, mind you, I was just a kid when they came up with that.
12:31 if you were a kid when they came up with the idea of separation of church and state you must be between 50 and 60 years old because that's when the idea came up.
4:53, you don't have to use my time stamp to address me. unlike you, i signed my post. the remark about me being a kid was meant to be sarcastic, facetious (1. not meant to be taken seriously or literally: a facetious remark.
2. amusing; humorous.
3. lacking serious intent; concerned with something nonessential, amusing, or frivolous:) I suppose I should have broken it down for you, I'll try and do better next time
BTW, 4:53, you didn't answer my question, you just took the opportunity to throw a jab, which missed if i do say so. Why even bother to post if you have nothing relevant to say?
One last thing,4:53, and then i'll let you get back to flipping burgers. You need to brush up on your math a bit. In the United States, the term is an offshoot of the phrase, "wall of separation between church and state," as written in Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. I went to Beech Hill, but that's closer to 200 yrs than 50 or 60.Just trying to help you be factual. Peace out
As you probably know there was a series of letters between Mr. Jefferson and the Danbury Association not just the one you mentioned.
While Mr. Jefferson may have been the first to write the phrase that has come to be known as the doctrine of "separation of church and state" it wasn't until 1947 that the term took on an air of legality and that may have been what one writer was referring to, certainly I'm only guessing at that.
In 1947 the Supreme Court declared that "The 1st Amendment has erected a wall of separation between church and state. That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach".
If you are a student of history you will know that Jefferson was the first Anti- Federalist elected president. This was greatly welcomed by the Baptist who had suffered rather severely from the centralized power held by non Baptist. Jefferson had spoken boldly in favor of placing limits on government powers.
Members of the Danbury Association were very concerned with religious freedoms. They believed that because the Constitution included the phrase, "free exercise of religion" some might take that to mean the right to religious freedom was government given instead of God given. The fear was that if the government was able to give then the government was thus able to take away or limit.
Jefferson understood and shared their fear and concerns. Jefferson made many statements about the Constitutional prohibition against the federal government to restrict, limit or in any way interfere with religious expressions. In Jefferson's 2nd inaugural in 1805 he stated, "In matters of religion, I have considered that its free exercise is placed by the Constitution independent of the powers of the general (federal) government". In a letter to Samuel Millar in 1808 Jefferson wrote, "I consider the government of the United States as interdicted (prohibited) by the Constitution from intermeddling with religious institutions or exercises".
Jefferson, having witnessed the abusive practice of giving preference to certain religions over others, had absolutely no intentions of allowing the government to limit, interfere, or regulate public religious practices. Along with most of the other founders he believed that the First Amendment had been enacted ONLY to prevent the government from forming a national denomination, such as is being attempted today with the secular humanist environmentalist movement.
So when Jefferson replied to the Danbury Baptist Association in January 1802, his short comment was to assure them that they need not have any fear, that the free exercise of religion would never be interfered with by the federal government.
He wrote in that now famous letter, "Gentlemen, The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me on behalf of the Danbury Baptist Association give me the highest satisfaction... Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God; that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship; that the legislative powers of government reach actions only and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between and State. Adhering to this expression of supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties. I reciprocate your kind prayers, for the protection and blessing of the common Father and Creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association assurances of my high respect and esteem." Part One
Part Two
So basically it is safe to say that while Jefferson advocated a "wall of separation between church and state it was solely for the protection of the church from interference by the state and not the government from religious beliefs and activities. Today the phrase has come to mean the exact opposite of what Jefferson the founders and the courts all saw it's meaning to be.
In another statement Jefferson wrote, "Can the liberaties of a nation be thought secure if we have lost the only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath."
Today we are witness to the reality of this very fear of Jefferson coming alive.
Hilarious!
yeah, that's what i said.
Those who are content to be ignorant will always revel in that ignorance.
wab
I googled your insightful quote and found where you got it. I'm sure you just forgot to give the proper credit. Laughable.
Here's a quote for you.
"The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, and pride and arrogance".
____Samuel Butler
Mr.Barrett thanks for your 4:41 comment. I would like to add something to all these kids that have escaped from daycare. To the enabler and others that are cousins;
Is it better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid or open your mouth and prove it? CG why don't you call in sick for a few days so we can go foward with the issues?
7:55 (wab?)
Funny you should mention enabler again and in the same breath with a compliment to barrett. He told the lie that I enable wrong, and you give him a compliment for a quote. I believe you are wab posting anonymously again.
Hilarious. Actually, it's sad. A man who claims to be a man of God doing and saying the things you do is astounding.
8:08; 7:55 is not Mr. Barrett. There is an old redneck saying, if you bark like a dog, act like a dog and sleep with dogs you will soon think you are one. We are all tired of hearing the same old story from you. It is old and worn out.Get over it and act like a human. The things you keep saying over anr over is NOT astounding, it is un called for. go play with your puppies.
Good Article About President or King.
