OBAMA RELEASES MORE AND MORE ARMED FELONS

“Do you see the story? Do you see anything? It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream…that commingling of absurdity, surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt—that notion of being captured by the incredible which is the very essence of dreams…” ―Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Are you scared yet?

If you maybe had your doubts about President Barack Hussein Obama importing un-vettable (according to the FBI) and possibly violent, “Syrians,” Muslim “refugees,” with possible violent Jihadists “hidden among them,” then here’s an even bigger mystery for you.

This is from NRAila.org:

“Earlier this year, we reported on how President Obama’s much-ballyhooed executive clemency program was releasing felons who had been convicted of using firearms in drug trafficking crimes. We noted then the jarring inconsistency of this program with Obama’s executive gun control measures, which targeted hobbyists and collectors making occasional gun sales, licensed dealers, and even Social Security recipients.

“The USA Today article quotes a former pardon attorney who served under Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton as stating, ‘There are a number of cases where it’s a genuine re-sentencing. It’s unprecedented.’

“Obama is even granting early release to inmates considered ‘career offenders’ and sentenced to life terms.

“As Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, put it: ‘He has effectively set himself up as a judge, reviewing thousands of cases where they’ve been prosecuted, convicted, sentenced and appealed beyond the district court level. And he’s undercut all that work by commuting their...
