Mark Levin: Conservatives ‘Sick and Tired’ of GOP ‘Funding the Obama Agenda’
CNS News ^ | September 26, 2015 | Barbara Hollingsworth

Posted on 09/27/2015 6:14:42 AM PDT by george76

Radio talk show host Mark Levin said Saturday that conservatives are “sick and tired” of the Republican leadership in Congress “funding the Obama agenda.”

...

The resident “may have a pen and he may have an Obamaphone, but we have a Constitution. Now use it!” Levin exclaimed.

“If that means the government shuts down for three weeks, then by God, the government is shut down… By the way, the government never shuts down. It just doesn’t stop.”

...

I think we’ve already tipped hard left,” Levin said in response to a question by Perkins. “We’re holding on to our republic, our Constitution by our fingernails….[The left is] using the law against us.”

All of them knew he was ineligible and did nothing.

I saw where the NYTimes brought on Eric Can'tor to defend his old boss, throwing out the GOPe favorite word, compromise.

Is it not Barack who will shut down the government with the stroke of his pen?

The GOPe are scared of their own shadow.

“the government never shuts down. It just doesn’t stop.”

I have read and maybe heard on Levin’s show that only 17% is actually shut down.

The feds were also wasting our federal tax dollars installing BarryCades around open air WW2 monuments to block the WW2 Veterans access and trying to close down private areas ( like a Mount Vernon parking lot, etc. )

>> only 17% is actually shut down.

When the EBT card is declined, a return to reality will set in. It may involve riots and violence, but it's a required correction.

A government of the people includes all of the people, not just the ones spending my tax revenues into the treasury to drive better cars, eat better food, enjoy a free cell phone plan, stay healthy on free insurance, and live in free housing.

Note to RINO's, I am tired of it.

Compromise is a term favored by the GOP to rationalize defeat.

I don’t personally favor a shutdown and think there are ways to pass funding that are less likely to incur a veto. Why not pass separate funding bills? Will Obama veto them all? Maybe, but wouldn’t that make the president the problem? For example, pass a bill funding the DoD. Would the president choose to cut off money to our troops and risk national security over a Planned Parenthood defunding effort that isn’t even part of the DoD bill?

You compromise over peas or carrots with dinner and have both. You don’t compromise on principles.

You KNOW they'll try to do it again; a despicable minion of Obama's like Jarvis has no shame.

It's easy to compromise on principles when one doesn't have any.

And that is exactly the point. The GOP has no convictions, beliefs or principles. It is happy to give away the farm because it is a party without a soul or purpose.

That is the point for years. The RINOs will not do it as their UNI-party lobbyists Bosses will not allow it.

We must not forget that GOP legislators put these two clowns in their respective offices and positions. They are only a symptom of a much more pervasive problem within the party. Simply put, the party does not represent those who put them there.

Mark has been all over this for years, talking about "the power of the purse," long before any of the other conservative talk show hosts started talking about it.

BTW, I ONLY want to hear something like the following from Republican candidates for president regarding the shutdown:

Why do WE want to shut down the government? Why does President OBAMA want to shut down the government in order to providing taxpayer money to an organization that ships boxes of severed babies' heads to supposed researchers? An organization that has committed multiple felonies and crimes against humanity? President Obama's position is inhuman. Why don't you ask HIM why HE wants to save this monstrous organization?
If they can't win this, they can't win ANYTHING.

Yes.

The GOPe knows this, leaving us to speculate about their true motivations. Most of us have concluded that they're bought and paid for by the Chamber of Commerce, et. al.

Not only did they do nothing. They passed a resolution saying that the Constitution didn’t mean anything. I don’t remember but I think a joint resolution of Congress in 2009 said, in effect, “we don’t know what this ‘natural born citizen’ language is all about, but whatever it is, we declare Obama to be eligible.” They amended the Constitution by a simple resolution, without reference to the people. That, too, is called usurpation.

Then the ‘ah shaddup’ crowd piped in with, “nobody cares, everybody cheats.” “Nothing will ever come of this.” Though, sadly, credit where credit is due — they were right.

Then Leo Donofrio closed his blog after claiming he was threatened. The scary part is that I’m prepared to believe him.

Most amazingly though, at the White House website Obama acknowledges that he was a dual national at birth, and that he was naturalized at the age of twenty-one by renouncing his Kenyan citizenship. But if you point out what Obama has already said, you’re a goddam birther.

Thanks for eight years in the Twilight Zone. It’s been a hoot.
