I share your views. Actually, I believe it is too late and I don’t think there will be a civil war. America has been changed.

I think wise souls like yourself will protect youself and your love ones.

As bad as I think it will get, no matter how bad a society becomes, there are always those that figure out how to survive.

My “no spending” proposal won’t even get traction here.

I feel like one of Bundy’s cows. Damn Government won’t even let me graze in peace and I am Moooing in the wind.

Is law enforcement going to enforce the law or answer to un-Constitutional decrees like good knee padding lemmings from their Master Barry?

Anyway the important issue is to NOT pass a long-term spending bill. Pay the bills only until January.
TOO LATE!! The GOP "leadership" (spit) has already thrown in the towel and are going to allow the Demoncraps to set a long-term CR through September 30, 2015...

Don’t give up hope. SOMETHING has to wake the sheeple up. There are enough of us still alive that went through school when they actually taught us how to think AND how this country was founded.

Either that or when the EBT cards don’t work, the riots will start.

Exactly. That’s why I’m laughing at the huffing and puffing of the GOPe.

Obama takes the heat and the GOPe corporatists get exactly what they want.

The money they raise from fees doesn’t get deposited into the treasury, it goes into the agency’s internal budget. So, they don’t have to draw anything from the treasury in order to spend it.

Every dime that the government has is in the Treasury irregardless of what particular account in which it is held.

Obama takes the heat for the GOPe AND Dims...no one has to have this atrocity on their voting record. The will of the people is completely circumvented.

Treasonous.

It Is Time For The Congress To Re-establish it’s constitutional authority

While the talkies, talk radio show hosts, need to remind “US” of this.. Members of the House and Senate also seem to forget. While those selected to head various federal departments of government are recomended by the incomming POTUS (president of the United States).

Such candidates are constitutionaly required to be approved by the Senate in a procedure known as advise and consent.. Those appointed then are also sworn to uphold, protect,serve, and support the constitution. Not the executive branch. .

Such appointees can and should refuse any executive order.Or allow the executive branch create a political appointee who over rides their congressional authority. Particularly. If and when that executive order is designed to ignore existing congressional legislation which defines a departments jurisdiction or specific purpose protecting the interests of the country . Which places the country in danger, or minimizes the value of citizenship, or places its citizens in clear and eminent danger.

Therefore they and their respective departments must be held answerable to both houses of congress which funds these operations. And, should be held in contempt, censure, and impeachment and the funds witheld if refused to comply.

“That agency is entirely-fee funded,” Hing told reporters.”

So...pass a law prohibiting them from collecting fees, or from spending any money collected in fees on supporting illegals. Pass a law forbidding anyone given executive order amnesty from ever collecting SS.

They are getting tax money somewhere and somehow. If need be, eliminate it as a government agency. Pass an order requiring the head of HS to block enforcement.

Obama will veto, but there are other ways of making him suffer. Meanwhile, put it before the public eye: who wants cheap labor to replace American workers?

Well, I suppose if you define “the Treasury” that way, you could say that.

Congress can always write some legalese into existing laws that they pass with 60 votes and limits funds for a specific group.

But if the funds for the CIS do NOT come from Congress( and so far we only have that committeepersons word ) Congress can not defund them.So CIS will be able to issue green cards to all the millions of illegals.

I’ve been doing this for some time. It’s a form of Going Galt. Minimize one’s contribution to the economy and government by minimizing both ones input and output. Produce litte, consume little. Pay minimal taxes.

And if you like, do like the moocher class and take as much as possible from the government. As you point out, if enough people would do this, especially the producer-class, the system would collapse.

Nonsense! Defund the administrators. If they don’t show up to shuffle the paperwork, receive the payments, apply the payments, pay the bills, etc., then things will be at a standstill.

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) winced as he listened to comments from Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) in reaction to President Obama’s plans to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation.

“Unfortunate, unfair, unnecessary, unwise,” Graham said.

“Republican leaders hope to contain outrage in the ranks over Obama immigration moves"

Seems we haven't actually identified the enemy, which makes battle plans less effective.

did anything think the GOPe would do something besides try to sound like they were a bit upset?

Well they are trying to derail Sessions. The rest of the Conservatives will be dealt with as well.

We have an Imperial Presidency and a corrupt Congress leading a lazy uninformed populace what did we expect.

1Sa 8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

1Sa 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.

1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

1Sa 8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
