Law Breaking Or Presidential Approval: Misuse Of The Presidential Seal

By Semperpapa

On November 19, I wrote a piece indicating the danger that John Podesta and his progressive think tank represents for America.

What I indicated was Podesta and the Center for American Progress latest policy publication that urges the President to impose his progressive agenda upon the people of the United States via means that circumvent the powers of Congress and the will of the people. Even more disturbing, was the suggestion that Obama would use his position of Commander-in-Chief to use the Armed Forces against the American people.

Today there is another controversy surrounding the latest publication of Podesta’s so-called organization.

It appears that the said publication uses the Seal Of the United States President to promote its policy paper.

The use of the official seal is restricted by law. Its use is relegated to the President or to officials speaking specifically for the President. Special dispensation is required for the use of the seal.

In the case of the Center for American Progress, there are two possibilities.

One is that the Center is clearly breaking the law, attempting to use the seal as mean to entice its supporters to believe that the provisions called out by the publication are endorsed by the White House.

The other is that Obama has actually given its seal of approval to those provisions.

In the first case, it is an open and blatant disregard of the rule of law. I understand that such style is not a surprise coming from the American Left, but that being the case the Justice Dept. should promptly take action against the infringement.

On the other hand, if the use of the seal was approved by the White House, the underlined message would be that the President is approving and supporting a policy that is aimed at circumventing and bypassing provisions designed to stifle the government oppression of its people.

Looking into the matter is a conservative organization called Americans for Limited Government, who is calling on the Department of Justice to look into the misuse of the President’s seal.

Podesta’s group, when asked, only stated that they had purchased the photo from a news agency.

What we are seeing is the typical actions of totalitarian progressives. Just the open disregard for the law, as long as it furthers their agenda, is the bread and butter of the internal enemies of the country.

And for anyone who believes that this is not a big issue, one only has to look at the policies that the publication invokes.

Final question now is weather Eric Holder’s Justice Dept. will actually do anything about it, including any sort of investigation. If I was a betting man, I would bet on the corrupt Holder will do what he does best, which is absolutely nothing.

Just as in the case of the Black Panthers, the agenda of the Left will trump on the rule of law and those with ill intentions toward our Republic will be able to score another victory.

Just my thoughts!
