WE WILL NOT ENGAGE': MICHELE BACHMANN REVEALS GOP PLANS TO IGNORE EXECUTIVE AMNESTY
Breitbart Big Government ^ | Nov. 22,2014 | Robert Wilde

Posted on 11/23/2014 12:09:19 AM PST by Hojczyk

“They acted as though the amnesty issue wasn’t even an issue. They said that the President is going to do what he’s going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing,” Bachmann said.

She added that each congressman who spoke reiterated that not engaging Obama and staying positive was a “brilliant strategy.” "We will not engage," she reiterated with disgust.

Bachmann, who was elected to Congress in 2006 and is ending her service this year, is stupefied by the Republican leadership not taking action or having a plan. “While the country is talking about amnesty, and the president is taking unconstitutional actions, our leadership wants to change the subject and not engage,” she said.

Bannon said he was “stunned” that, on the walk-up to a day that is going to go down as “one of the most important days in constitutional history,” there was no pre existing plan or course of action by the GOP. The Congresswoman asserts that Boehner and the leadership “think that the smarter strategy is to not engage.”

Earlier in the broadcast, co-host and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that, after reading Breitbart News’ report on Friday about Republicans flying out of town after Obama’s speech without devising a plan, is evidence that "the Republican establishment doesn't care about Obama passing executive amnesty.”

Marlow mused, “We're having this debate: should there be a lawsuit? Should there be impeachment? Should the government be shut down? What should we be doing?”

I agree, we need to not be knee jerk and think about multiple approaches. The thing the emperor wants is to be openly attacked (and possibly impeached) so that he and his cronies can run behind the cry of “thats rascist” again because it has worked for 6 years.

I think it is beginning to dawn on folks that the POS Barack Hussein Obama, this week, was pulling a WIZARD OF OZ act.
The only thing he has said, or done, so far is to say that he will be not deporting illegal aliens.
He’s been not deporting illegal aliens for the past 6 years— so there is nothing new so far.

Some folks were seeing the image of a Great and Powerful Wizard the Obama’s handlers were projected.
As I watched his speech, I was seeing the small (and FREIGHTENED) man “behind the curtain”.
Remember, Obama and the ‘RATS have just suffered a devastating blow in this year’s election.
They see their power eroding and disappearing into vapor.


I agree with you.

And I see this more as his middle figure to his own voters, who not only walked out on his speeches, but refused to show up and vote to support him.
He mentioned them directly in a speech.

Excellent description. I also no longer watch those propagandists. The husband still does, but he has cut back considerably.

Hate to break it to you but the elites of this country own the GOP and the Dem parties. They have for at least the past 100 years. It’s been a fixed game ever since that time.

Those same elites also own most or all of the mass media including Fox News.

If we were operating under the old set of rules, I would agree with you. But we are now dealing with the dictatorship of the Soros Puppet-in-Chief, and the left don’t need no steenkin’ mandate to carry out its goals.

It is a win for the GOPe because they get the amnesty they want without enraging their base.


I think even those who vote GOPe aren’t happy about amnesty...and the GOPe’s lack of fight against it. They need conservative votes to win major elections...yet they’re completely throwing the MAJORITY of Pubbie voters under the bus.

What’s the end game, for the GOPe? Do they think the COC/Big $$ will fund their campaigns, here on out? And provide votes?

Do you advocate just sitting on their hands while our country is ruled by OBAMA of all people?!!!!

Where have you been ALL of Obama's tenure?
That's what they've been doing the whole time!

What have they done on:

  1. Fast & Furious
  2. Benghazi
  3. IRS political targeting
  4. IRS's Civil Asset Forfeiture programs
  5. NSA's Domestic Espionage
  6. Intimidation of news reporters; to possibly include assassination
  7. The NDAA; which grants terrifying "detainment" powers
  8. The debt ceiling
Seriously, what has the Republican party really worked for in the past half-decade?

Our government is illegitimate and unconstitutional. It’s time to stop looking for constitutional law to change things when our modern government doesn't abide by that same constitution anymore. We need to use civil disobedience to protest this tyranny. Mass defiance of blatantly unconstitutional laws and mandates has to happen soon if we are going to have any chance of salvaging what’s still left.

BINGO. You get it, while so few will even consider what you are saying.

We ARE NOT going to stop this tyranny via civil means. PERIOD.

What we can do, is prepare to defend what remains of our liberty by every and ALL means we can muster - and REFUSE, DEFY AND RESIST EVERYTHING THAT NOW COMES OUT OF D.C.

The Federal beast is illegitimate, it no longer has any authority over a free people. All it has, is guns it will put to our heads to force compliance.

So ask yourself - what do you intend to do when government guns are going to be put to your head? Write your congressman????

Defy their tyranny, and when they come to enforce it -we will have our Lexington and Concord moment.

You folks have absolute NO IDEA whatsoever, about where we have arrived and what time it is.

You still operate under the delusion that this is a representative republic where the rule of law exists.

The evidence is overwhelmingly clear - we are a post-Constitutional Imperial Fascist Oligarchy. Elections are moot.

It also pays to look back and see who conservatives ran in the primary to take out McConnell. Was he the best conservative candidate around? Was he well funded? was every conservative in KY behind him? Was everyone united. Did we really do the best job we could do in taking out McConnell. McConnell had national support and lots of money. Did we as a huge conservative base,with 30-50 million conservatives listening to talk radio and more on the blogosphere nationalize his race and make sure he was gone for good? It appears we didn't. All good questions to be asked as to why McConnell is even around.

The voters of Kentucky elected him their senator that's acceptable. But allowing him to be SML is not. It's a rub it in Conservatives faces by like ones that appear daily on Fox News calling themselves the voice of the GOP elected or otherwise. One handles lots and lots of Lobbyist money and has cost many a Conservative an election while in the Bush administration.

You describe in perfect detail what most Conservatives are refusing to acknowledge, we are being rendered IRRELEVANT politically and MATHEMATICALLY. We are being replaced, which is why we are being ignored. We must face the reality in which we now find ourselves bering subjugated under: an Imperial Fascist Oligarchy. If we work from understanding that is where we now are, we will have a better chance of surviving what they intend to do to us.

True and make no mistake about it The GOP-E take money and serve the very same NWO Thuggery even the ultra Liberals in the Democratic Party serve. They're all one big happy family of tyrants.
