Defiance: Bypassing Congress on amnesty, and the rest of President Obama's double-down response to the voters' rejection of his policies, should shock no one. "Never let up" is one of Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals."
'Will Obama fade or fight?" asks the headline of a Los Angeles Times story reporting the details of how "an unbowed President Barack Obama" will, to quote the president, "squeeze every last little bit of opportunity" to enact the rest of his agenda over his final two years in office.
"Down But Not Out," Obama "Presses Ahead," says a New York Times headline to a similar story.
What a difference from even the Times' token "conservative" columnist David Brooks, who once upon a time declared of Democrats' success in the 2006 midterm elections: "The American public delivered a stunning electoral judgment against the Iraq War, the Republican Party and President Bush."
We didn't hear then from the establishment media about a "down but not out" George W. Bush pressing ahead. We did hear right after the new Congress convened in 2007, however, from none other than one Sen. Barack Obama that "removing of all U.S. combat forces from Iraq by March 31st, 2008" was "what the American people demanded in the November election."
In the 2014 November election, there was "a stunning electoral judgment" against President Obama and his policies — which the president himself during the campaign conceded were on the ballot — and "what the American people demanded" was that he be stopped.

This is a golden opportunity to demoralize the very people who have been attempting to demoralize us. 1) ridicule 2) act confident 3) act like it’s over 4) use social media
But do not get overconfident.... Just use their tools against them.
Use Alinsky’s rules:
Always remember the first rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people.
…The third rule is: Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
…the fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
…the fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
…the sixth rule is: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
…the seventh rule is: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
…the eighth rule: Keep the pressure on.
…the ninth rule: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
The tenth rule: The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
…The eleventh rule is: If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
…The twelfth rule: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
…The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it
Elections only have consequences for Republicans, I guess.
Good graphic Bump.
He’s the nerd from the movie “War Games”, grown up.
The kid that was told to shut up because he was being annoying.
what the American people demanded” was that he be stopped.
And all indication is the newly elected GOP senate and houseis DEAF and is ready to work side by side and help zippy with his destructive path for the sake of reaching across the isle and this is what the American people expect of us
Have the Capitol police arrest him at the State of the Union.
You have everyone present. Lock the doors hold the vote from the well of the House, Have the Senate do the trial right then you have the Supreme Court right there and hold the vote on live TV. Swear in Joe Bite Me right then and there, and have Bath House Barry flown to Gitmo immediately.
We need to make an example of the POS.
Absolutely! I’d pay good money to view that, especially the look on BamBam’s face when he gets off the plane at Gitmo.
Thanks.
I could go to sleep peacefully, fading out to that dream.
I like your style. You paint a pretty picture!
