As I posted under "Grow a Pair (Or Borrow Nancy Pelosi’s)"; I said the
President cannot be trusted to enforce any amnesty related law and I am glad
that Speaker Boehner has pretty much said the same thing now.
It'd be nice if we also agree on what I posted under, "The “Broken Windows”
Theory – Now Applies to Government" which advocated drawing up impeachment
articles that should be acted on after the elections. However, I imagine that if
this is in the works it might be best to keep it under wraps until AFTER the
midterms.
Grow a Pair (Or Borrow Nancy Pelosi’s)
Again, on the amnesty issue. The previous post commented on how the Democrats
wield power. The President is playing a dictator with absolutely no regard for
the constitution and the case has clearly been made about their use or abuse of
power. In this regard and in particularly with respect to amnesty; the dimwitted
Republicans need to take a page out of Nancy Pelosi’s playbook. Their simplest
approach to amnesty and indeed, on any other issue, should be WWNPD if the
situation were reversed – meaning, what would the Democrats do if they were
opposed to amnesty with a Republican Senate and President? Do they think, for
instance, that NP as Speaker, would be entertaining any of these considerations
right now? The answer: hell no.
They might have, for example, passed a border security bill first and send it
over to the Senate where it’d probably die. They would then go into the election
saying, “Hey, we started the process but the President and his party refused to
take action on the first step. Don’t blame us!” They could then go on to explain
why border security is an extremely important first step and try to rally the
country in getting something done about it. Perhaps they’d even go on to warn
that, unlike the Obamacare monstrosity that has spawned so many unintended
consequences, a “comprehensive reform” bill of 2000 or more pages is absolutely
not the way to go. They could then point out that the President has seen fit to
act unilaterally on enforcement of laws, has been busy using regulations to
circumvent them, that these things are not acceptable and that this is yet
another basis for refusing to act on a total reform package because, simply put,
he cannot be trusted.
But no. In their typical spineless fashion, the Republicans are willing to
cave to whatever unseen forces guide them because it certainly isn’t the will of
their constituents. It is still quite interesting as to what these unseen forces
are. Where are the “conservative” members of the House and why wouldn’t they
come out and expose what is going on here? Anybody, somebody, grow a pair or
borrow Nancy Pelosi’s!
The “Broken Windows” Theory – Now Applies to Government
There are other ways to say this, e.g., a fish rots from its head, but given
the lawlessness involved, the “broken windows” theory is most applicable. Why?
It started at the top, the current administration has set the tone for what now
appears to be the “new normal.” Enemies lists have been developed and across
this great country, every politician – mostly Democrats, have been given a
license to do whatever it is they want or feel like doing to their political
enemies; revenge, payback, whatever it is. If, at the federal level, they take
back the House of Representatives, we have seen nothing yet. There are some
differences between the two parties; a key one is the fact that the Democrats
know how to wield power and the Republicans, well, they just want to get along.
If, for example, the shoe were on the other foot on passing Obamacare, there is
absolutely no way the Republicans would have done it in the manner in which
Pelosi and Reid passed that bill. They are spineless. Instead of having Ted
Kennedy (as a Republican) write his “No Child Left Behind” bill, George W. Bush
(as a Democrat) would have abolished the Education Department, if this is
something he wanted to do. It’s just the way it is; Democrats use the power they
have to advance their odious agenda and Republicans just try, in vain, to make
nice. This is precisely why the battles over the last 60 + years are being lost
to the progressives even if the people remain largely opposed to the direction
in which it takes the country.
So here we are. The lawlessness of the Obama administration has been well
documented; no one does anything. This then trickles down to the rest of the
government and we have Chuck Schumer actually calling for the stifling of
dissent by using the powers of the IRS – something, the President once called
“outrageous” but then and again, nothing happened. Next, we have Chris
Christie’s people seemingly exacting revenge on their enemies; in this one
instance (and we all know why), the subpoenas are flying. And then there are the
generalissimos of New York, the self-appointed arbiters of how and what the
population of an entire state and city should think. The Governor, who has
referred to anyone who dares to hold a different opinion on the issues of
abortion, gay marriage and the second amendment as “extremists,” and the Mayor
of NYC who agrees with him 100%. In keeping with the broken windows theory, it’d
seem that the latter exacted his own revenge on the people of the UES of
Manhattan because they dared to not vote for him. Again, there’s nothing to be
done or seen here. Next, we’ll be hearing about trains out of NY with passengers
on their way to a gulag some where; it’s the fascists’ way.
There was a time when liberals would run around mouthing the words, “I
disagree with everything you say but I’ll defend your right to say it…” Like all
the qualifications we missed on Obama’s various lies, there is one here too; “I
disagree with everything you say but I’ll defend your right to say it…until I
can make you shut up!” This, from the folks who talk about inclusiveness,
diversity, peace, love and all that other good crap. It wasn’t that long ago
that to them, “dissent was the highest form of patriotism” except, maybe, for
paying taxes. Now, dissent is extremists and they’ll use the force of government
to ruin your life in whatever way possible in order to shut it down. This is
un-American and tyrannical.
All of this lawless behavior from a president who threatens to rule by
executive authority with a willing and able cabal of bureaucrats to carry out
his every whim and what does the House want to do? Work with him on amnesty
knowing full well that no matter what they compromise on to make law; the
president, as he has demonstrated with Obamacare, will ignore, postpone or use
executive/administrative authority to either override or thwart the law. Why do
these people even work with him? What they should be doing is drawing up
articles of impeachment which, should they retain the House, follow up on next
year and let the chips fall where they may. As our government is now making
examples of some of us who dare to speak up in opposition, we need to make an
example of what should happen to presidents who have become lawless:
impeachment. Otherwise, the broken windows theory dictates that lawlessness will
continue to spread like a cancer across this country.
