Mark Levin Goes Off On ‘Tyranny’
Under Obama’s ‘Imperial Presidency’
To Fox’s Megyn Kelly

Mediaite, by Andrew Kirell

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/14/2013 2:56:00 PM

Conservative radio host Mark Levin appeared Fox News’ America Live this afternoon to discuss how his “fury” over President Obama‘s “tyranny” in his use of executive orders. “He keeps telling us he won re-election,” Levin said of the president. “Congratulations! But guess what, the Constitution wasn’t up for election, it wasn’t for a referendum,” he continued, before rattling off the list of ways he believes the president has expanded his office into an “imperial presidency,” including “unilateral action” on immigration, the tax implications of ObamaCare, “attacks on religious liberty,” and the potential use of executive

Comments:
It´s clear this author does not agree with Mark Levin and is mocking him. Those who ignore the extreme danger of Barack Hussein 0bama do so at their own peril. "Once we lose the Constitution, and we’re losing it big, what’s left?" Levin is absolutely correct in what he said.´

Levin is right, of course.

Barky is urinating on your shoes and

calling you a liar for not being willing to

think of it as just a touch of rain.

He is the definition of the abusive husband / boss / politician.

All take......no give.

Mark sir, DuhwØn is just doing what a tyrant does.
You should be ´´furious´´ with the Republican Party. THEY are letting him get away with his tyranny.

#2 Of course you´re right, but I´m mad at everybody. This election was so wrong on every level. This president is so undeserving and corrupt, and the fact that so many like it and voted for it, and those that didn´t know what they were voting for distresses me to no end.

As much as we don´t want our precious country to change, it is changing before our eyes and nobody seems alarmed enough to stop it. It freaks me out.

#3 I share your pain and frustration.
I am shocked when I read the comments after articles praising the idiot kenyan or blaming Reps. How can these folks think zippy is good and right and just etc? They call us prudes and right wing extremists and borderline terrorists (which is ironic given libs apparent love and tolerance for real terrorists).
I can´t believe we aren´t already protesting in the streets.
I fear this is a national case of the frog in boiling water.......

Although I don´t have any doubts about Mark Levin´s passion and patriotism, I continue to be confused by his refusal to touch the birth certificate issue. He obviously cares deeply about the Consitution, as do I. And obama´s failure to prove his Constitutional eligibility is the most serious atack on and erosion of our Constitution. Imagine a guy in office dismantling our Founding Principles while ignoring the Constitution who is possibly a complete FRAUD and Constitutionally ineligible to even be in office.

The Republican party is NOT allowing obama to get away with tyranny...Its the DEMOCRATS...HE IS thier guy..they put him into the WH..he is their CANDIDAte...all the lies, the non vetting...the back door deals for obama care..the covering up of all his chooming, socialist marxist and believe me...muslim faith.....its not the Republicans...its the DEMOCRATS...

#5 Mark knows he would be immediately labeled a certified nutcase if he questioned obama birth certificate. By democrats and Republicans. By liberals and conservatives. It is no longer an issue. The voters said so. I believe the Jackass was born in Kenya BUT I would never bring it up in conversation with anyone but my very close friends and that isn´t many people.

As any lawyer knows, and Levin is a brilliant lawyer, if you can´t prove it, shut up about it (meaning the place of birth situation). When you´re in a trial, don´t ask the question unless you know the answer. No definitive proof has been found --not that it´s not there (and I don´t know), but it´s not been found. Forget that -- go on to something that will work.

The last paragraph in Mark Steyn´s latest contribution says it very well regarding the birth thingy.

Mark is 110% correct.
We should be in the streets but all the mainstream wants is to recognize third-rate celebrities who hate America, freedom, good sense and our Constitution.

We cannot allow ourselves to be cowed and shut down by fear of ridicule. Some level of courage is required here. This is a matter of inegrity and a matter of demonstrating a real commitment to the Constitution. It´s not enough enough to just say you support and defend the Constitution. Sometimes you actually have to do something to support and defend it. At the very least, we HAVE to speak out when an outrage is being committed against it. We are not saying obama is ineligible. We are saying he MUST PROVE his eligibility. However, because he has resorted to CRIMINAL activity (forgery) to avoid having to prove it, I am now convinced that he is NOT legitimate.

What ticks me off the most is being called "extremist" because I want politicians to honor their Oath and preserve and protect the Constitution.
We are fighting not only democrats, but the media and dipwad so-called "moderate" Republicans. I get exhausted just thinking about it.

Looks like Ms Kelly, who is a lawyer and well knows that Mr levin is absolutely correct in his assertions, is taking her lead from Obama, which is, change the subject and blame someone else. Obviously she has forgotten what she learned in law school or she just didn´t pass Constitutional law. Or, Heaven forbid, she wants to instigate controversy to make her program more interesting. Put people in front of a camera and they are more interested in being celebrities than they are in the truth. Mr Kevin knows the Constitution inside and out. Incidentally, He did criticize President Bush, also. He represents truth and justice, not a ideology. and he is color blind ( racially speaking ).

Since I believe that Obama Senior was merely a Renta-Dad used to cover the sins of the real black father - and that father was very likely an American citizen, revealing the truth would actually strengthen the case that Barry is Constitutionally qualified.

But such a revelation would do a number on the Obama mythology. Hence we will never see the real BC, unless the press turns on their Messiah.

I agree with so many comments here. I suspect that Miss Megyn was trying to be "fair and balanced" in her comment about Bush. Someone in the control booth probably was getting nervous by Mark Levin´s brutally honest points about Obama, and she was told to point out a Bush fault (could have been the producer). Fox News, IMO, carries the "Fair and Balanced" slogan too far sometimes.

#16 is probably correct - BHO,Sr. was quite possibly a Rent-a-dad and the real daddy is Frank Marshall Davis, which would have been an embarrassment for Stanley Ann´s mother, Madelyn, a Bank of Hawaii VP. That would have been embarrassment No.1.

Also, I surmise that Zippy was born in Canada, in British Columbia to be exact, in a home for girls who are sent there to have their illegitimate babies. Probably the faux wedding of Stanley Ann and BHO Sr. was to remove some of the awkwardness of the baby´s arrival. The fact that BHO Sr., an exchange student from Kenya studying at the University of Hawaii was kind of exotic and somehow would have made Madelyn as little more comfortable with her friends at the bank and in the Hawaiian business community. Back then everything was about appearances - it was 1961 for gosh sake.

Mark Levin speaks the truth regarding ´our dear leader´ and nobody says it better than Mark. These thoughts and words come straight from his heart and soul. I´m so thankful for Mark Levin, as he says what I´m thinking almost all the time. He´s a true American patriot and, to my mind - a national treasure.

Thank you, Mark. We´re with you all the way.

Mark Levin is a great and patriotic American. In my opinion he is doing more to wake up americans to the obama disaster than anyone else. His analysis is always focused and to the point. Some drones are impossible to reach and he recognizes this right away and does not waste time on them. If anyone can be reached he will devote a serious effort to each one individually. He reveres the constitution and educates the nation on it´s importance when so many are shredding it. He is indeed a national treasure.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
