Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that congressional opposition to the American Jobs Act is akin to the Confederate “states in rebellion.”

Jackson called for full government employment of the 15 million unemployed and said that Obama should “declare a national emergency” and take “extra-constitutional” action “administratively” — without the approval of Congress — to tackle unemployment.

Isn't going against the constitution a direct violation of Jackson's oath of office? Which side has the jack-booted thugs again?

Now, wouldn't the military have to take action--their oath is to the Constitution, after all--if something along these lines was tried?

We already have a democrat governor calling for the suspension of congressional elections in 2012.
Now a democrat member of Congress floating the idea of Obama simply seizing power without the consent of the governed.

Try it, Obama, and see what happens.

Gee, that'll work, fiscally.     :hammer:
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

It's not like he actually understood it.  He's even dumber than his Daddy, whose name got him elected in the first place.

This is the son-of-a bitch who will be our representative next year, because of the Illinois democraps' redistricting voting areas. Adam Kinzinger (R) will be out, Jackson due to the black majority in this new "district" or  :puke: Debbie (Obama pocket toy) Halvorson will be in.

All Jackson wants is his damned 3rd airport for the Chicago area. It that goes through, to maintain power at the airport Chicago will annex I-57 all the way down to at least Peotone, IL (I-57 is about 5 miles from here), just like Chicago annexed I-90 to O'Hare.

When Obama hires 15 million people congress should tell him, you and Jesse hired 'em, y'all pay 'em.

I got to 2:15 in the Daily Caller video and that's all I could stomach. This boy was raised steeped in hatred and racist bigotry his entire life. If there were a black KKK this clown would be Grand Dragon of the Realm for Chicagoland. Every molecule of his being is geared towards racism and hatred. It is blatantly obvious that he knows little else.

A look at his district, from that's my congress dot com~

"U.S. Census data put Representative Jackson's record in the context of the people who he represents. Illinois District 2 is 99.86 percent urban, 69.81 percent non-white, and has a population that is 10.37 percent Latino and 6.38 percent foreign-born. 17.77 percent of adults working in Rep. Jackson's district commute using public transportation, on a bike or on foot. 6.38 percent of adults aged 25 and older in Jackson's district have a Master's, PhD or Professional Degree."

yeah, that's it.  Keep dredging up slavery and the Civil War.  Lets see how far that kind of race baiting gets you.

I saw the video last night.

This is stunning in its complete idiocy and the moron with the microphone is an even bigger imbecile -- and that's being kind to imbeciles.

Unfortunately, his constituency thinks the same way JJJ does -- the nanny state and big government will solve all our problems.  :whatever:

They want a return to feudalism which is the basis of all leftwing "isms". Social elites are almost universally leftwingers because they want to be the royals. Ever wonder why they walk on red carpets in Hollyweird? It is a symbol of the elite bloodline. Its also why you simply don't get into Hollywood without being related to someone already in. Nepotism, not talent is what gets you into show business.

I see you have a problem with Hollywood.     :hyper:

So just look at the actors that came out of no where, no ties to anyone just graduates of acting schools. They start small, usually local play halls, on to Broadway and then into movies.

If they are good at their trade, willing to put up with the casting couch, both male and female------Bingo.

Now do you any idea what is involved in making a stage show ???   First the dancers and singers, weeks of rehearsal.  Then the Cast of the show, they will have to do be able to do 2 shows a day 7 days a week.   

This is a job that requires all the Cast to live 24 hours of either stretching, learning dance steps or lines and know where your mark is.

Movies, what fun, 18 hour days, some movies require the actor to be wet in a pool or very hot when shooting in the jungle. forget the flys and leaches, 2-3 months of that is worth allot of money.

A red carpet is no problem for the actors regardless of who their family is.   These people make a difference in our lives, they bring to us both Joy, Fear or Promiss.

These actors do not have a easy life no 9 to 5 job for them.    Would you refuse to roll out a red carpet for Betty White ??????

My problem with Hollywood is that some of the actors go through this type of work experience, and then they believe that qualifies them to pontificate on economics or other issues.
