All this while republican and conservative leaders do nothing, they are even not prosecuting people who knowing lie before congress.
I would think that these actions should convince some that we are in this alone, all republican and conservative leaders are in bed with the fascists in power.

It has been clear from the beginning what his aim was.
We certainly are on a self inflicted Battan Death March and i see nary a one of the GOP leadership with the cajones to do anything about it. The only thing I can conclude is that they are co-conspirators and thus undeserving of my support or vote
The tree of patriots must sometimes watered with the blood of myrtyrs and I don’t see the outcry so I shall vote for Conservative Christians who support my values if they be in the republican party, fine.If they be a third party, fine.I cannot in good conscience continue to hold my nose any further.
I have been voting since 1968 so I have been at this awhile.

OK, what can Republicans do that they aren’t or should be doing?
McCarthy is absolutely correct. And we also see the rise of mob rule.

It should be remembered that the words were but the prelude to action and blood shed.
The blood shedding must occur or there will be no lasting change
Why are the Pubs silent about the delay of ACA’s employer mandate and all the granted exemptions until after the mid-term elections? Because they are not really an opposition party, they want this as badly as the Dem’s, since they expect to get their turn at the trough again soon. They need to let the Dems win in 2014, otherwise the Pubs would have both houses and could eliminate ACA. The Pubs will never get rid of ACA, they will just *reform* it....
F the Pubs.
The Congress is too busy shirking their responsibility on everything in a bid to be constantly re-elected.
They are only too happy to hand over power to unelected bureaucracies and the current dictator.
The government is on auto-pilot with a life of its own.
I suspect nothing short of real hardship and a national existential crisis will change our direction.
Why wouldn't they be silent? Those who stand to benefit immediately from the Administration's action (i.e., large employers) are those within the corporate "Chamber of Commerce" crowd to whom the GOP is most beholden. Do you think those entities have any abstract interest in the "rule of law"? Their interests extend no further than their own bottom lines. They'd wipe their own ass with the U.S. Constitution if they figured that, by doing so, they'd save a few pennies on toilet paper.
That is the GOP's true "constituency."
What would you call the Obama wholesale support for abortion-on-demand and the murder of Christians in the Middle East?
Laws will have to have criminal penalties in them for officials who do not enforce them.
It’s not a “scandal”. It’s his greatest success.
“OK, what can Republicans do that they arent or should be doing?”
How about this part of my post for starters, “ they are even not prosecuting people who knowing lie before congress.”
How about not funding Obamacare, how about no helping democrats pass this trash they are passing.
The republican leadership in BOTH houses aided democrats in passing the healthcare law, now they will aid them in passing immigration reform which will break the back of America.
Indeed and approved by second class citizens.
I'm afraid you're missing the point here: you want "criminal penalties" for those officials who don't "enforce" the law. And which entities do you suppose will be tasked with imposing those "criminal penalties," hmm?
The President's constitutional responsibility, in the first instance, is to "take care" that the laws be faithfully executed. And if he defaults in the fulfilling that responsibility, what difference would it make if there is some "criminal penalty" attached to his default? Who is going to seek to impose such a penalty? The President?
No, you're looking for relief in all the wrong places. Under our system of government, the ultimate remedy for a constitutional default of this nature must be a "political" one: if the Congress cares strongly enough, it can remediate the situation by impeaching and removing the President. If Congress has not the political will to do so, then it falls to the people to elect new representatives.
If the people will not elect new representatives who have respect for constitutional government, then, yes, our system devolves into, as McCarthy here puts it, a "dictatorship." And so? At that point, that is all that the people are fit for, no?
The problem with this country are the people of this country. Its "leaders" are merely the reflection in the mirror held up to those people.
Or not.
