Ron Paul Asks: Who Will Stand Up to Obama?

‘WHO WILL STAND UP TO OBAMA?’

Ron Paul: “Will No One Challenge Obama’s Executive Orders?”

Former Rep. Ron Paul, as one of the few remaining American statesmen, has just penned an excellent article on the dangers of Washington’s gross misuse of executive power. Below are some of the more important snippets from the article, which can be read in its entirety

Political opponents of the president rightly condemned Obama for disregarding the Constitution. However, it was not that long ago that many of the same politicians were labeling as “unpatriotic” or worse anyone who dared question President Bush’s assertions the he had the “inherent” authority to launch wars, spy on Americans, and even indefinitely detain American citizens…

It should not be surprising that some of the biggest promoters of an “energetic” executive are the neoconservatives. They are also enthusiastic promoters of the warfare state. Sadly, they have misled many constitutionalists into believing that one can consistently support unchecked presidential authority in foreign policy, but limit presidential authority in domestic matters. Until it is fully understood that virtually limitless presidential authority in foreign affairs cannot coexist with strict limits on Presidential authority in domestic matters, we will never limit the power of the Presidency…
