A casual glance on any day of the week will reveal an endless stream of puerile and partisan propaganda that seems to have been written by fourteen year old meth fiends after experimental electroshock therapy gone awry.<\/p>\n<p>Today the Fox Nationalists posted as their featured headline story one of their standard cut-and-paste jobs whose only purpose was to disparage President Obama. This particular story raised the question as to whether or not Obama had violated his oath of office by instituting a policy to suspend deportations of undocumented immigrants who came to the country as children. The article quoted a source familiar to everyone who has studied corrupt cabinet officials.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Pix\/Caps\/foxnation-gonzales-oath.jpg\" alt=\"Fox Nation - Alberto Gonzales\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. George W. Bush&#8217;s crooked Attorney General Alberto Gonzales spoke to the Faith &#038; Freedom Coalition conference and speculated as to whether Obama had violated his oath of office.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To halt through executive order the deportation of some undocumented immigrants looks like a political calculation to win Hispanic votes and subjects him to criticism that he is violating his oath of office by selectively failing to enforce the law.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is the same man who, when being investigated for unlawful politicization of the Department of Justice, responded to inquiries from the Senate by answering <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221;<\/em> or <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t recall&#8221;<\/em> at least 72 times.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7IBvZlRqOTw?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Setting aside for the moment the inappropriateness of a shyster like Gonzales passing judgment on the legality of anyone else&#8217;s activities, he is displaying a profound ignorance of the facts relating to Obama&#8217;s recent decision.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, it was not an Executive Order. It was merely an administrative determination by the Department of Homeland Security to employ prosecutorial discretion with regard to the specified immigrants. That&#8217;s something that is done regularly by the DOJ and every state attorney general. And even if it were an Executive Order, it would still be fully within the jurisdiction of the President to issue it.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, Obama cannot be accused of selective enforcement for a policy that applies so broadly to such a large community. And when you take into consideration that those affected are not even technically in violation of any law, then why should they be considered for prosecution in the fist place?<\/p>\n<p>Gonzales was simply making a transparent attempt to pander to the audience of Teavangelicals at the conference. This is especially apparent in light of the fact that he has previously gone on record supporting the very same sort of policies that Obama enacted.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Fox Nationalists ate this up and posted their article asking essentially if Obama was subject to impeachment. The gross partisanship and smear tactics that are evident every day on Fox Nation should disqualify Fox from being regarded as a news enterprise. Fox Nation is not some separate entity. It resides on the Fox News domain and it uses the resources of Fox News to ceaselessly bash the President and promote his opponents. If any unlawful activity is going on here, it is Fox News serving as an adjunct to the Republican Party and donating millions of dollars worth of promotion in violation of campaign finance laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As bad as the Fox News Channel is, it does not even come close to the irresponsible, juvenile, wildly biased, stinking heap of dishonesty that is the Fox Nation web site.
