Right, John. Just like you did with the budget, eh?
The US House of Representatives is analogous to a Police Force - - - they “arrest” the perp by Impeaching the perp.
The US Senate is analogous to a Jury of Peers who have the power to throw the Impeached perp off of the taxpayer gravy train, take away his residence, ban him from building a Library paid for by us, and ban him from using his personal Corporate Jet, Air Force One.
Most RINO Americans want to wait, Wait, WAIT! until they control the House, the Senate and the White House.
To those weak-kneeded summer soldier “patriots” I say “Enjoy the Obamanation that you have tolerated since January, 2009.”
Thus, we Summer Soldier Conservatives continue to tolerate a wimpy, hand-wringing, sobbing crybaby Speaker of the House Boehner as our sorry chief policeman.
“Oh, if only my best friends across the aisle would just play nicey nice - - - “ is the perfect quote that fire-in-the-belly Socialist-Democrats love to hear from their doormat, cowardly, Obamacrat RINOs.
Yes indeed, as long as we WAIT for things to be PERFECT we will never attack those whose goal is to destroy the US Constitution.
Suck it up you sorry House RINOs, and replace John “Benghazi Coverup” Boehner with SC Rep Trey Gowdey, or SC Rep Joe Wilson.
Without a fire-in-the-belly Republican Speaker of the House, Obamacrat RINOs will continue to cave in to “their best friends across the aisle,” to the unbridled glee of every Democrat voter in America!
Pretend that you are fighting to enforce the US Constitution, House RINOs.
Fight or go home, House RINOs.
FIGHT or we will send you home!
You assume that they actually care about us, the American People. It’s becoming obvious that they don’t at all.
Capitulation? Try “collaboration” with the enemy.
Capitulation implies that the pubbies put up a fight.
This is an excellent summary of the interests that drive a last priority issue to first priority.
It bears repeating:
1. A SINGLE PIECE OF A STEP-BY-STEP IMMIGRATION REFORM WILL BE GUTTED BY THE US SENATE AND REPLACED WITH THEIR GANG OF 8 SENATE BILL THAT WILL THEN BE RETURNED TO A HOUSE-SENATE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE AND THEN BROUGHT TO A VOTE IN THE HOUSE.
2. THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE BILL WILL BE PASSED BY ALL DEMOCRATS AND AT LEAST 17 REPUBLICAN ‘SQUISHES’.
The impact will be clear. Millions upon millions of illegals will be granted amnesty and will be illegally registered to vote for the 2014 election.
Citizenship as a requirement for registering to vote will be ignored by those receiving amnesty because it will not be possible to scrub them off the voter rolls before the election because the list of those receiving amnesty will be held back by the Department of State and DHS. The list will be stonewalled until after the election at which time it will no longer matter.
It is impossible to reverse an election result after the election even when it becomes clear that illegal votes were cast because it is impossible to tell which way an illegal registrant voted unless they confess and the confession is accepted by a court of law.
THEREFORE, do not allow ANY immigration reform bill to be even considered until conservatives control the House and Senate.
“That’s a solid thought - but what does the chamber of commerce have to do with those areas of bureaucracy?”
Nothing directly; they represent the shops, car dealerships, restaurants, dry cleaners, auto mechanics, lawyers, etc. that the illegals would theoretically patronize.
It is borderline silly to think voting for one member of the uniparty or another will stop our slide into tyranny.
But they still have to have money to patronize are they anticipating that the govt dole will never end? Or just that it won’t end until they’ve gotten theirs? Maybe they are that foolish.
“But they still have to have money to patronize are they anticipating that the govt dole will never end? Or just that it won’t end until they’ve gotten theirs? Maybe they are that foolish.”
When Nancy Pelosi heralds the benefits that unemployment checks bring to the economy, the whole idea is that while they are funded by the government printing press, they are preventing a large number of businesses from simply folding completely. To keep businesses (and whole states) open (with their emplyees working), they’ll keep printing money.
A very short-sighted strategy, designed for nothing more than getting them through the next election cycle...
Tooth Fairy, Propaganda, Graft & Election Reform - Conservative on Target
Saturday, July 20, 2013
“How many times have we heard “free tuition,” “free health care,” and free you-name-it? If a particular good or service is truly free, we can have as much of it as we want without the sacrifice of other goods or services. Take a “free” library; is it really free? The answer is no. Had the library not been built, that $50 million could have purchased something else. That something else sacrificed is the cost of the library. While users of the library might pay a zero price, zero price and free are not one and the same. So when politicians talk about providing something free, ask them to identify the beneficent Santa Claus or tooth fairy.” - Walter Williams
HOW DEMOCRACIES PERISH, Deathbed Edition:
This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom’s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details “The Tools of Communist Expansion,” among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, “Ideological Warfare and Disinformation.”
The profound simplicity of Revel’s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism’s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete, actually sheds light on a defining feature of today’s progressive ascension: the perverting of the free press into a propaganda ministry.
Revel’s trenchancy is proven in the fact that the mechanics of Soviet cultural infiltration he identified may now be seen at work again, this time undermining the West not from without, but from within. The war Revel described thirty years ago has progressed to its natural final stage: the West, having weakened before communist propaganda even as the communist nations themselves were crumbling, has now taken to propagandizing itself into rejecting its victorious heritage in favor of the “ideal” of complete state control. Marxist disinformation is now homegrown…
“Do you wish to know when that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by Compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed.
Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot.“ – Ayn Rand
The Real Threat from Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Everything the Democrats do is to increase voter participation – participation by kids, felons, old folks, folks in comas, illegal aliens, whatever, just vote Democrat. The integrity of elections is of no concern to them; all they worry about is locking in a permanent majority. And now, with comprehensive immigration reform, they are attempting to import an electorate.
Under Harry Reid, the U.S. Senate is the worst ever. Decent GOP senators shouldn’t vote for anything pushed by Reid and his ilk unless it is exactly right. In other words: without comprehensive election reform, comprehensive immigration reform should be summarily rejected. Unless it can be demonstrated that there will be safeguards that prevent the newly legalized from voting, the Senate immigration bill should die a dog’s death.
Regarding election i0ntegrity, America is a banana republic, and always has been. And there is no excuse for it in this high-tech age. Americans should join together and say to the U.S. Senate: you’re grounded.
“[T]here are, at bottom, basically two ways to order social affairs, Coercively, through the mechanisms of the state — what we can call political society. And voluntarily, through the private interaction of individuals and associations — what we can call civil society. … In a civil society, you make the decision. In a political society, someone else does. … Civil society is based on reason, eloquence, and persuasion, which is to say voluntarism. Political society, on the other hand, is based on force.”
– Edward H. Crane

We have to be careful though that the tariffs only protect from cheap labor but not from competitive and innovative business practices and processes. Real competition helps everyone, especially the end consumer.
But American companies that outsource and offshore to foreign countries should automatically have punitive and confiscatory tariffs slapped on them.
