“Why would any respectable honorable representative not be demanding Obama be removed from office?”

Because Dems HAVE ALWAYS looked at our side as pure evil, and ANYTHING that is done to control, defeat, imprison, enslave, and eventually execute us is deserves merit.

...and I don’t exaggerate, this bunch is NO DIFFERENT from Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Castro...it is EXACTLY the same mindset. The only significant difference is that we also have guns.

I could care less what Brit Hume says. I used to like him and thought he was a conservative, however, he showed his true colors - so, he can go fly a kite.

How is it possible these people in government are able to remain in their position, after clearly lying, mismanaging, and being up to their necks in corruption?

Why would any respectable honorable representative not be demanding Obama be removed from office?

Does this not reek of collusion and more corruption between the insiders in D.C.?

Because Dems HAVE ALWAYS looked at our side as pure evil

Bob, I was referring to "our/your side".

Ferrget this shut down the government poppycock BS. That's a joke and everyone knows it.

Where are all the demands for his removal from office?

The thought of Obama going before the public and explaining that that our precious federal government is shutdown because those nasty Republicans won’t give him the money to hand Amnesty to 5 Million Illegals is PRICELESS,


Priceless, indeed. Let’s roll!

He is conservative. I think all he is saying that that last couple of times a partial shut down happened, the MSM beat the cramp out of the GOP and they lost big time in public opinion. I tend to agree especially seeing it has not worked twice before from a political point of view.

Sorry, I’m not reading too carefully. It is a VERY FINE LINE as to how to deal with a black president, unfortunately. You simply don’t have the room to attack without coming off as a racist, or worse.

Back during Clinton’s days, a friend of mine noted how Clinton always seemed to surround himself with kids and uniforms (i.e., cops, soldiers, etc.)...it was his means of protection. Now Democrats simply put blacks and women front and center and figure they cannot be touched.

But, EVENTUALLY, people do step up, and they very well might in the case of this Amnesty.

From a recent email by Christian historian Ben Gilmore:
http://achstudygroups.com/

Shut it down!

The U.S. Constitution – Article I, Section 7 - - “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.”

It is important that we understand the rules by which “We the People” have chosen to be governed. The House of Representatives (nick named “The people’s house”) is the only place in the national government where spending laws can begin. The Senate can only propose amendments. The President and Supreme Court have no authority to originate a law.

Without congressional approval the U.S. Treasury has no authority to write a single government check! Each body (House & Senate) must eventually agree on amendments before a Bill is sent to the President for signature. Thus – “The people’s house” holds the purse strings.

The President’s job, as defined by the Constitution, is to execute the laws passed to him by Congress. If he chooses to go rogue, and operate on his own, “The people’s house” can refuse to fund his rogue projects. They have the authority to shut down the government. It has been done many times in the past.

The only job the federal government has been hired by “We the people” to do, is to protect our individual lives, liberties and property. Unlike citizens of other nations, we are at liberty under God. We joined together to create a government to protect that liberty from ungodly forces.

The senate is led by evil men (Senator Harry Reed & Senator Mitch McConnel). They have consistently put power and privilege ahead of the best interest of “We the people”. We should encourage our Representatives in the House not to bow to “politically correct” politics and to stand on principle. Shut down the government if need be, rather than allow rogue power to govern.

Patrick Henry asked in 1775, “But when will we be stronger? Will it be next week or next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction?”

Patrick Henry concluded his electrifying declaration with these memorable words, “What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

It’s a near guaranteed certainty that any ‘conservative’ backed by RINOs will turn like Lucy after Dracula takes a bite. Of course there is never a guarantee that Ted Cruz won’t suddenly turn either. But the odds are that someone that is a complete pain in the ass to and confrontational to RINOs before being elected, and without their support and cash to get him/her elected, will stay on the reservation for a while longer than they would otherwise.

The way I look at that is Barry never had a strong hand anywhere with anything. He has willing cannon fodder ready to jump on grenades. The classic house of sand. Hasn’t slowed his ‘progress’ yet. And thats because n one ever holds his ‘feet to the fire’ any more than we hold the GOPs.

If that’s untrue, then I have missed it entirely. Don’t get me wrong. I want to see him choke on this whole deal he created. But I just don’t see the GOP doing anything to help things in that direction. Quite the opposite.
