As long as Executive orders can limit rights...?

Can we get an executive order that bans people voting for "socialist style" Democrats? I mean if the president can unilaterally restrict portions of our rights, there's nothing wrong with restricting voting rights.

You can still vote, your vote isn't being stymied you can still vote for Republicans, Green Party,Libertarians and what not, but not one "needs" to vote for a "Socialist Style Democrat". If we can save just one life, it's worth it.

ps. I realize how stupid this question sounds, I just wanted to point out to the gun restrictionists how stupid your stance is.

    no executive order is an absolute.. if congress does not like it, they can 'de-fund' it or not let it pass. The prez. can't just write what he wants an we have to follow it no matter what, there are still channels he has to go through

    I think most people don't realize this..

    Executive orders cannot restrict any rights.

    Have you actually looked at and read the orders imposed by Obama on Wednesday (because I know this is what you are talking about)??? Most of them are just promises to lobby Congress, write letters to agencies, and assist in file sharing for background checks that already exist. They don't limit gun ownership or actually change any laws.

    Here is a list of what the orders were, please point out which one or ones directly restrict any rights: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2013/01/ob...

    the real question that you should be asking is how did America get to where it is at now with the politicians trying to do away with our Constitution there's been a lot of former presidents that have gave in to whims of super rich corporate leaders and to push us to where were at now things like Woodrow Wilson allowing the privet bankers set up the federal reserve and Franklin d Roosevelt allowing the counsel on foreign relations to be implemented and of course JFK being killed for trying to do away with the federal reserve wanting to abolish it and Johnson keeping us in the war with Vietnam for an extra ten years for his refusal to send planes to Hanni this mite have stopped the war or at least shortened it and Nixon taking us off the gold stander-ed and making a deal with the Saudis for allowing our dollar as the world currency as long as we buy there oil and Reagen signing into law that the banks could close up for a 100 years if there was ever a run on them and bush jr. bringing homeland security after the debacle of 911 inside job and now we have a foreigner as a new president trying to do away with our gun rights and we all know what happen to Russia and china when they took away there guns they became slaves to the state nation after nation has fallen to this guns laws only to allow the tyrannical government to evolve so let me ask you 2 questions how long does it take for a capitalist state to be turned into a communist state or is the capitalist already a communist state to begin with or has been for some time without the public being aware of it and we are just living under a false dominion where things don't appear as they seem after are we really free dont you feel the noose tightening closer around our freedoms

    I knew Dr. King and worked with him, and he was NOT a Republican ever. You deal with it. I'm so tired of people like you choosing to remain fact-free. It's pretty ignorant, don't you think?
