Jonathan Turley: Liberals' Defense of Obama's Unconstitutional Power Grabs Appears to be the Start of a Cult of Personality
— Ace

Turley is a liberal himself. But there are two sorts of liberals: principled ones and partisan ones. Someone like Turley will call out one of his own when one of his own violates important principles.

But most liberals won't. The official word from much of the progressive side of the aisle is glee that Obama is "getting tough" with conservatives (and also, "getting tough" with the Constitution, I guess.)


This is why I won't call most progressives "liberal." The word liberal, despite being discredited in the 70s and 80s when it came to describe the New Left, has an honorable tradition existing well before that time. Many people who we would now call "conservatives" in the 40s and 50s in fact called themselves "liberal" at the time.

There was once a tension, for example, between expanding state power and "liberalism." Liberals opposed it, in the main, and championed the individual

But at some point, the New Left embraced (and how!) growing state power over economic aspects of life (while, I must acknowledge, resisting state power in the spheres of sexuality and free speech) and while they were often termed "liberals," I think that term was misapplied, when one looks at the whole history of it.

At any rate, Turley is a liberal, but those cheering for Obama's unconstitutional collection of all government power within the Executive and his single person are not. They are an assortment of statists, progressives, revanchist cryptosocialists, and simple-minded partisan Democrats who just take the position that anything their team is doing is fine, because it's their team.

Turley calls this "dangerous," and notes that we are now in the slippery slope to a "false democracy." He doesn't say this explicitly, but by "false democracy" I imagine he's thinking of a banana republic, in which there is a pretense of democratic republicanism, but in fact is an authoritarian structure, as the Jefe in such a system actually has all the power.

He says those currently remaining silent will "come to loathe" their silence.

So he is a corrupt Chicago machine communist.  And that is exactly what the FSA wants as long as they get their free shit.

While they didn't use state power in the beginning, they did use the press and other organizations to try to put free speech they didn't agree with beyond the pale.  And they are well  on their way to use state power now.

44 Turley is a bit late to the party, IMHO.  I think this is more of a culmination of a cult of personality around TFG.  I was actually very afraid in 2008 when I saw the Obama-mania start to grow in America.  It reminded me all too much of past cult of personality figures.  Fouad Ajami articulated some of the things I was thinking at the time, and compared Obama to a Nasser-like figure, obviously connecting to something in his point of reference.  Like Ajami, I was gradually relieved that Obama seemed to be not at all up to the job of maintaining a cult of personality, since he is such a crashing bore and an incompetant to boot.  Not that things like that ever stopped people like Ceausescu from developing a cult of personality.  Only the Big C was just smart enough to figure out the less exposed he was personally, then the more his cult could mold his image.  BHO decided he really was the real deal, and over exposed himself.  But it seems like even though the masses of America have not bought into the cult, a shockingly high percentage of the leftist political and media establishment have drank the kool-aid and won't give it up.

I doubt that even this is true. They will lament the new state of affairs when an adversary is in power, without ever admitting that they themselves made it possible for any abuses that are being carried out.

At least not publicly. Perhaps in moments of quiet, honest reflection it would be possible to admit such a thing to themselves.

75 Turley makes an important point I hadn't seen before.  Obama has basically stolen the power of the purse by illegally shifting funds clearly marked for other purposes. 

This goes beyond the observation that Obamacare has its own funding guaranteed within the law.  Even if it were possible to defund Obamacare, Obama has already chosen to illegally shift funds.  He could say, "Nope, you didn't defund Obamacare, you defunded Vance AFB.

They are surrounded by people with whom they agree.  Lots of these stuffy crusty academics thought the warnings were just typical politics.  They didn't even consider that Obama was anything more extreme than they are comfortable with.  That was the power of Obama's blank screen hypnosis.  Everyone heard what they wanted to hear. 

Academics were especially tricked because they thought Obama was a "life of the mind" person.  They didn't see a callow huckster.

103 When you have a President who ignores the constitution you feel powerless. When you feel powerless you drink, when you drink you spend more money, that makes you feel less powerful. So you drink more. And then you have even less money. When you have less money you do whatever you have to. When you do whatever you have to, you wake up in an alley next to an Ewok.

They didn't even consider that Obama was anything more extreme than they are comfortable with. That was the power of Obama's blank screen hypnosis. Everyone heard what they wanted to hear.

144 If the president were to commit a crime, publicly in front of video cameras, who could arrest him? If the DOJ won't or can't, and if the Secret Service protects him from Federal Marshalls, who can arrest him?

Congress doesn't have any law enforcement authority, that's all in the executive branch. The courts don't have any law enforcement authority either. As long as 51% of the voters support the President, as long as the news media can make it appear that 51% of the voters support the President, no one can touch him.

He has to be impeached, and the Senate won't do it, and the House is afraid to try.

162 75 Turley makes an important point I hadn't seen before. Obama has basically stolen the power of the purse by illegally shifting funds clearly marked for other purposes. This goes beyond the observation that Obamacare has its own funding guaranteed within the law. Even if it were possible to defund Obamacare, Obama has already chosen to illegally shift funds. He could say, "Nope, you didn't defund Obamacare, you defunded Vance AFB.

195 The Wolf and the Sheep Sad though it be, one must suffer; though it pains, forgive, So long as someone can a good explanation give. A wolf had made a treaty with sheep to get their pelts; And the sheep, seeing a good opportunity, felt That they had bound him so air-tight contractually That henceforward they need have no fear for their safety. Some days later, he who always covets a sheep's hide Ate a lamb in the field at high noon, in broad daylight. The sheep raised a cry! Wolf replied: "Why the dithyrambs?" In the treaty there is nary a mention of lambs." Then he strangled a ewe: and again an uproar soared. Quoth the wolf: "Don't you know, she came of her own accord." Before long there were more complaints and more commotion As wolf killed a sheep, then some in collaboration. "Others ripped them up," said wolf, "I merely assisted." And so, as the burgeoning commotion persisted, Whether he'd make frontal assault or stealthily creep, He would always explain himself—and consume the sheep.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,

I was not a trade unionist.

Obama is not a god right--so you would think that Krugman--just for the sake of randomness would disagree with Obama at least 1 out of 20 times. Instead he always jumps through his posterior to find Obama and his policies super dupery the bestest evah!! Monty linked to someone else who referred to a Krugman column where Krugman actually argues that the CBO's findings that ObamaCare de-incentives people of a certain economic position to work more hours--and Krugman argues that it is a good thing--somehow. No sure how Krugman does that one.

286 NYC Mayor And Schools Chancellor Clueless To Nor’Easter: “It’s A Beautiful Day Out There” schools Yes, we can’t all be hanging out at South Beach like the socialist elite… Via NY Post: Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina cluelessly defended the decision to keep schools open during Thursday’s lethal Nor’easter – incredibly saying “it’s a beautiful day out there,” as snow and freezing rain fell outside. “It has totally stopped snowing. It’s absolutely a beautiful day out there right now,” she said at a morning news conference in Brooklyn with Mayor Bill de Blasio. [ed.- there was over a foot of snow during the morning, in different areas there was a virtual "white-out"] Asked to elaborate, Farina said, “Coming down the stairs, the most obvious thing is it stopped snowing. The second thing, it’s getting warmer – which means that theoretically the snow will start melting Weasel Zippers: Oh after not canceling school, they had an early closing? Idiots

Posted by: Romeo13 at February 13, 2014 05:19 PM (84gbM) "Conservative" Republicans did not start the Department of Homeland Security. Rovian NeoCons did that, and they are not representative of conservative thought. The father of conservative philosophy is Edmund Burke. Likewise *ALL LAW* is imposed morality. The very essence of law is the imposition of a standard of right and wrong. The only question is whether or not the imposed morality of the law will be consistent with natural law, or against it. "Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites, — in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity, — in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption, — in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters. " --Edmund Burke--

Their downfalls were (chronologically) WW1, Prohibition, and sucking up to various fascist dictators in Europe - mostly Mussolini and Stalin. After being properly embarrassed by such "accomplishments", they rebranded themselves as liberals, but kept their mindset. They had to incubate themselves until they could find a new host to infect: the first wave of boomers.

I think that Turley had already 'come to loathe' his own silence.

That's why he is finally speaking up.

 

Better late that never, I guess.

 

He's not an idiot...so he had to have already been noticing this 'cult of personality' thing going on.

 

He had to have noticed Barky's willful lawlessness, too...because it's been going on for years.

 

So I'm wondering, what was the 'final thing' that made Turley finally speak up?

What was the last straw?

 

Was it seeing that Barky is now holding a gun to Businesses and forcing them to make Hostage Tapes for his propaganda purposes?

It is an outrageously brazen move.

 

At least he used the word..."dangerous".

Because, why yes, Jonathan Turley, it *is* dangerous.

Because the question is not 'do we need laws'... the question is where do we draw the line? When do laws become the tyranny of the ruling class (those who make the laws)... and placing THEIR beliefs into a Legal structure, to force others to follow their Dictates? IMO Law should be the very minimum needed to run a Society... not the dictator of all morality and action of said society. And the Founders seemed to believe that as well... which is why we have the Bill of Rights... vice something resembling Sharia Law.

357 I don't want to sound like a downer, but I think the idea that there are some "honest" liberals that will stand up to the pack is just is a myth. We all want to believe some of your friends are honest and not raving nuts. Faith is strong. It is misguided. This war between the people that believe in the constitution and property rights and the others that don't, is as old as the Republic. A hundred years ago, actually 1901, an anarchist's killed a Republican president. McKinley. Does anyone think this will ever stop?

379 236. Posted by: Romeo13 at February 13, 2014 05:19 PM (84gbM) Classical Liberals, yes. There are too many types of conservatives for any single "Conservative" definition, even if combined into a conservative confederacy (heh). "Variety is the spice in life." There'd be as many types of libertarians as there are of conservatives, given the ways people think. Either Rand Paul or Ted Cruz responded to a reporter that, if one is a conservative, it's best to stipulate what one would conserve. Those two Senators describe themselves as constitutional conservatives. The neoconservatives advance too-big-to-fail government and spending policies, interventionist wars with suicidal US military rules of engagement, and no clear goal other than "spreading democracy" which amounts to US taxpayers financing transnational corporate profiteering while abusing the sovereignty of everyone concerned. And though a neoconservative POTUS may cut taxes, likewise he failed to cut spending. "No Child Left Behind" meant what in time? Gimmicks like "tax rebate" also were foolish on George W's part; and TARP proved catastrophically the neoconservative economic deceit. Constitutionally? See his departing executive order to make the Sec.Treasury autonomous, (Paulson) beholden to NO ONE. DHS, Patiot Act, TSA, NSA, hate crimes ... gone berserk authoritarian and reverse-discrimination agenda. What really is disgusting is the neoconservative's unwillingness to admit when the outcome proves the legislation/policy measures wrong, and lying in order to incorrectly blame constitutional conservatives for having called it in advance. In that blame game, neoconservatives and leftists "share values" to play Alinsky against constitutional conservatism. All of Reagan's admirers should remember that Reagan himself claimed to be libertarian-republican (on a youtube clip), and THAT was the limited governance platform which won his initial landslide victory. Remember that Keynesian CIA Bush called Reagan's economic agenda "Voodoo Economics." Reagan didn't want GHWB on his ticket for reasons that weren't just personal. It would take an idiot to pretend that a politician with good manners in public DESERVES one's vote when said politician's agenda is contrary to what the voter and the constitution promote.

Posted by: polynikes at February 13, 2014 05:14 PM (m2CN7) ---------------------- On the contrary, atomic individualism can be quite conducive to the worship of a Caesar. I would say that the worship of a transcendent figure, such as the biblical God, is a much stronger barrier. In any case, whether you think of the independent frontiersman, who bristles at the arrogance of "elites," or of the Christian who looks to God alone for salvation, American conservatism tends to attract the LEAST likely candidates for fuhrer-worship.

I believe Democrat/Liberals have become very crafty and stealthy over the years. They've accepted gradualism as a strategy for years...until Obama.

They wanted this push. It is what they existentially desire. It's a despotic, frenzied philosophical orgasm.

Now comes the let down. There is a realization they overreached and the same weapons will be turned against them.

Previously, they would count on Republicans "doing the right thing", which is there excuse for a weak spine and doing nothing.

But now there are people like Cruz, et al holding peoples feet to the fire- and they can't be sure.

Hence, they want to whittle down the club they've beat us with before we get our hands on it.

Ultimately, that shouldn't matter. We should wield a new club to beat them with so such despotism never comes to the fore again. It will be that strength...or likely weakness that will decide the fate of our nation.

HeyÂ….remember this blast from the past about Victor Kiam? Victor Kiam, the owner of the New England Patriots, the team that was fined $50,000 by the National Football League on Nov. 27 after players sexually harassed a female reporter, apologized yesterday for joking about the incident at a sports dinner Monday night. The reporter involved is Lisa Olson of The Boston Herald, who was subjected to the harassment by three players in the Patriots' locker room on Sept. 17. Yesterday, Kiam apologized to Olson for telling the joke, which he related at a men-only event, the Stamford Old-Timers Athletic Association dinner. Stamford is Kiam's hometown, and there were about 800 guests in attendance. Most heard Kiam say: "What do the Iraqis have in common with Lisa Olson? They've both seen Patriot missiles up close."

419 ARLINGTON, – Va. – The federal government is closed and the snow-covered roads are quiet here, but the soldiers guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are braving the elements. "These guys want to be here, they work hard to stay here," says Sergeant of the Guard, Sgt. 1st Class Tanner Welch. "The guys in Afghanistan they can't stop because of snow. Guys in the mountains of Korea didn't stop because it was snowing." For 24 hours a day, 365 days a year since 1937, in all kinds of weather, men guard the resting place of three unnamed servicemembers in Arlington National Cemetery. The guards are handpicked members of the the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, known as "The Old Guard." "When you are out there you know that no matter how miserable the weather makes you, the people on the ground, they all suffered way worse than we are experiencing in the 30 minutes or hour we are out there," said Spc. John Arriaga, 23, of San Antonio, Texas. Arriaga has served as a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown for a little over a year. "Right when you cross the threshold of the chains — it's like nothing else even matters," Arriaga says. "It is just 21 steps, 21 seconds — you and the three unknowns. It's a feeling I can't even explain." The safety of the guards is important, Welch says. Today, amid a winter storm that has dumped several inches of snow on the nation's capital, the guards will don an overcoat, a warmer hat and warmer gloves than the standard uniform. Other than that, it's business as usual. "The accomplishment of the mission and welfare of the soldier is never put at risk," the guard's website states. "The tomb guards have contingencies that are ready to be executed if the weather conditions ever place the soldiers at risk of injury or death — such as lightning, high winds, etc." "We do modify slightly for weather when it becomes a major safety concern — lightning, snow, cold and frostbite, heat and heat stroke," Welch says. "But for 76 years now we have had ample opportunity to figure out how we are going to handle these conditions. We are always ready." The all-volunteer guards focus on the sacrifice of the unknown soldiers they are honoring instead of the bitter cold. "These unknowns — we don't even have their names and they gave everything for their country," says Sgt. Thomas Ozio, 22, of Dayton, Ohio. "So I give everything I can to these unknowns." "I woke up and it was pretty cold," Ozio says with a laugh. "But I looked out my window and thought about how everybody else is off in the government. We are the few going into work and doing what we do best."

When you said this in an earlier thread, someone pointed out that he is too lazy to work as president. That's true, but irrelevant to your point. He cares about *being* president, not working. And every illegal act he has perpetrated is at the behest of those who do the real work: his puppeteers. It is they who have instructed him and they who need their puppet in place for a bit longer. And what are you (proverbial) going to do about it anyway? That's the unspoken question that the Organized Left asks of the American people every single time it's puppet clamps on the chains a little bit tighter.

Turley is reading it wrong. This isn't about a personality cult forming around President Obama. This is about the Left realizing its dream of nearly unbridled federal power. President Obama's just a front man, an empty (but very sharply creased) suit.

 

And I write 'nearly' because boundaries to federal power still exist. For example, the Left can't (yet) confiscate all privately owned firearms or shut down Fox News or suspend elections or freeze Koch Bros. assets. Too blatantly tyrannical.  People--even those usually willfully ignorant and oblivious to politics--might take notice.

 

So no, the Left isn't complaining. Why would they? The President is simply doing what most of them have wanted to do all along. They've got power, buddy, and they mean to use it.

I went out earlier today in between snow squalls to clean off my car.   Since I am good neighbor, I made sure that once I got the snow off my car I shoveled all of that the snow away from my neighbor's cars.   I went out a bit ago and moved my car back and cleaned out my parking space so I could get out for work tomorrow.  Before anyone asks, yes, my place clears out the sidewalks and parking lot but not actually around our cars.  Again, I made sure to shovel everything off to the sides to not block anyone else in.

508 The protesters, who brandished torches for a photo posted online, held a sign warning, “solidarity means attack” and “we will shut you down.” Maki stepped out of his Houston, Texas, home to talk with the protesters, though he said he was not familiar with their grievances. “It’s 10 o’ clock at night, I’m happy to discuss it, [but] not here, not in my neighborhood, not with my neighbors around,” Maki told them. As protesters stood on Maki’s lawn, they told him that Enbridge is “criminalizing protest” by testifying against three anti-pipeline activists who were recently convicted of criminal trespassing for chaining themselves to Enbridge construction equipment in July. “Tell the rest of the [Enbridge] board they can expect visits,” one protester at Maki’s house said. Enbridge did not respond to a request for comment. Asked which group they belonged to, the protesters said they represented “The People.”

509 Alex, by reading the comments, am I to assume that you are a person of a smallish persuasion? Honest question - I could fill libraries with things I don't know...

511 "Cult of Personality" Why is it, supposedly smart people, are so dumb? This was pretty evident in -- 2008 -- Where, it was an entire reason to VOTE for Obama... You know, healing the planet and all that? Perhaps someone on the Left should have cried foul than? Hmm? No really, this is not unexpected.

516 The IRAN-CONTRA hearings were about a President who secretly went around a law that he did not agree with. It was a big deal. Reagan's defense was that he did not know it was happening. This President is not making a secret of it. He is even the front man to the endaround. Times have changed.

517 Reading these comments gives me the feeling that we will never win again, ever. No, not ever again.

518 But at some point, the New Left embraced (and how!) growing state power over economic aspects of life (while, I must acknowledge, resisting state power in the spheres of sexuality and free speech)
 
Actually, the Left offers sexual license in recompense for the narrowing of all other freedoms.  And the only free speech they want is that which advances their agenda.
