“Think of how stupid the average person is
— and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
— George Carlin
Congress has gone full stupid.
Late Tuesday night, lawmakers released a 1,603-page bill that would
dole out more than $1 trillion in taxpayer money (the federal
government, by the way, has collected a record amount in taxes this
year, but still can’t stop overspending).
Then,
Mr. Obama came out to support — Mr. Boehner’s bill. Yes, the president
loved the massive spending for Obamacare and his amnesty program. Then,
just before the crucial vote, Republicans caved on just about
everything.
When House Speaker John Boehner campaigned for the leadership job years
ago, he vowed to give members at least 72 hours to read any bill before
a vote. Back in 2010, the speaker said he didn’t think “having
2,000-page bills on the House floor serves anyone’s best interest — not
the House, not for the members and certainly not for the American
people.”
But that was before Mr. Boehner decided the highly flawed CRomnibus —
with full funding for the budget-breaking Obamacare; for President
Obama’s new amnesty program for more than 4 million illegal aliens;
even for Michelle Obama’s disastrous school lunch program — simply had
to pass.
Republicans, who just five weeks ago crushed Democrats in the midterm
elections — with Americans finally declaring “enough is enough” — were
humiliated before, during and after the vote. First, the speaker
couldn’t harness his troops to support the bill he was pushing. Both
sides went behind closed doors as defections in the GOP mounted.
Then, Mr. Obama came out to support — Mr. Boehner’s bill. Yes, the
president loved the massive spending for Obamacare and his amnesty
program. Then, just before the crucial vote, Republicans caved on just
about everything.
Right before the final vote, Rep. Jim Moran said Democrats got
“virtually everything” they wanted in the CRomnibus package. “In 20
years of being on the appropriations [committee], I haven’t seen a
better compromise in terms of Democratic priorities,” he said with a
smile.

Two weeks ago I compared Boner to an enemy infiltrator in The
GOP’s War On Obama’s Executive Action Lasted About 5 Minutes.
In his comment, Robert Mitchell Jr.
importuned: Do
not do the Democrat's work for them, don't attack Republicans, fight,
fight for TWO-THIRDS! That's what we need, then the great purging can
begin.....
Nevertheless, stories of Boner
Republicans
perfidies continued to dominate the Drudge Free Press, leading to this
plan of action. "It
only takes 29 Republicans to deny Boehner a majority. It’s time to have
that fight.
Let me be perfectly clear, as Dick Nixon was wont to say;
Robert Mitchell Jr's comments have been a great addition to this
blog,
offering as they do a reasoned defense of the GOP wing of the Democrat
Party, and vital discussion. But this—)!
There was a reason why "Tokyo Rose" was tried for Treason. It is easy
to lose the "will to fight", with all the current "Tokyo Rose"s, and
their endless lies. We are winning, Life is getting so much better, and
the Press is going down in flames. Keep the Faith ... we are winning,
and Merry Christmas!

Aye Carumba! I would have used Vidkun
Quisling—Norway's
Benedict Arnold, or perhaps, Henri-Philippe Petain as more apt examples. And what is it we are winning?

Run-up to the election promises.
We got
We won Zip. We have lost hope. Boner is a liar.
The Republican Party are waging total war against those of us
teapartiers who want promises kept, and government brought under
control. Here's our
operating meme, then.
"The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and
model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world
has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the
ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more
wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy
exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of
Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so
honourably conducted? I say nothing of it's motives. They were founded
in ignorance, not wickedness.
God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion.[1] The
people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is
a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had
13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That
comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What
country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what
country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from
time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let
them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and
pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The
tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure." - Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith,
Paris, 13 Nov. 1787
Say Amen.
