>>I’m tired of seeing the neo-Right using terms like “Do-Nothing Senate”. What a wrong-headed concept for those who love freedom and America. What does the Right want - an activist federal government???? NO!!!!
You make assumptions that do not reflect reality. Progressivism is already firmly entrenched into every part of our government. If Congress does nothing but the minimal functions of Constitutional Government, then the Progressive parts remain.
We are at the point where no action = Progressive present becomes Progressive future. Action can only undo bureaucracy, even if the action is defunding. We call the Senate “Do nothing” because it fails to do anything but continue the status quo, which is Progressive.
You are saying that a person gets lung cancer from smoking, so if he gives up smoking, the cancer will go away. No. It will kill him. Only aggressive action will save him.
You're absolutely right. We're not here to acquiesce, surrender, and become POW's to progressive "reality". We're here to CHANGE reality. Facts are changeable. Truth is not.
It is a fact that about 80% of the federal government is unconstitutional which means about 80% of the federal government is tyranny. You want to accept that fact? If you do, you're a POW to that fact. But we're here to change that fact and move up to the truths of the Declaration of Independence which frames the Constitution, the Supreme law of the Land.
And as I said, the only "activism" we should be seeing out of Congress is DISMANTLING the unconstitutional portion of the feds as here, in getting the feds completely out of healthcare where they have no constitutional authority.
Then at some point, we should put Congress on a part-time basis. Forcing the feds into their constitutional limitations doesn't require full-time spurious lawmaking which has brought us WAY too many laws, most of them unconstitutional. Send them home where they can work for a living in between valid congressional sessions.
The "aggressive action " is to kill the cancer of the unconstitutional tyranny of the federal government and get the patient of the American People out of the hospital and back to a free and productive life. It is not to keep the American People in the ICU with "busy" self-interested congressional "doctoring".
