Post by: Golem on February 20, 2013, 12:27:34 PM
This has been circulating around cyberspace for quite a while:

It's false information.

Both Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/executiveorders.asp) and Truth Or Fiction (http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/OBAMA-EXECUTIVE-ORDERS-NUMBER.htm) debunked this last year.

See The American Presidency Project (http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/orders.php) for detailed and up to date information.

So, Obama calls up the EPA and tells them to pass regulations that will shut down coal fired plants......and then he calls the Immigration and Naturalization people and tells them to not deport illegal aliens.....do any of those count as EO's?.....no, I didn't think so.....they're even worse, they're underhanded EO's.

Yup either way he's bypassing the way things are supposed to be done so he can do it HIS way.

Unless you can identify how they're wrong on this, you're swinging at air balls.

That's a point for a different topic. The point of this thread is that too many conservatives are falling for this bogus information.

At least three people did fall for it today on Facebook and that's why I thought it would be a good idea to warn people.

It really doesn't matter HOW MANY EO's they write...what matters is what is in them and what effect they have on the nation.

Why!!! Liberals do this all the time without rebuttals. If we are ever going to beat these scumbags, we are going to have to get down on their level. For example, Reid calling Romney a tax cheat and not a Christian. If it were me, I would have called the punk out. You see the difference?????

We can certainly call this asswipe out - with facts.

But by getting down to their level, are you saying we should fight stupidity with stupidity and fight dishonesty with dishonesty?

The problem is we do not call them out. Plus, bending the truth is what liberals do on a daily basis. You gotta fight fire with fire if you are ever going to put a beating on these asswipes. Bringing a knife to a gunfight is stupid, and that is what McCain and Romney did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
