“Reid vows to block DHS conference”
Obviously, one of the two Senate leaders knows how to take a stand. It’s a pity, though, that he’s from the Dark Side. Meanwhile, McConnell is hiding under his desk hoping no one asks him about a government shutdown. (As though that would be a bad thing.)
“Reid: ‘If they send over a bill with all the riders in it, they’ve shut down the government...’”
One thing I grudgingly give to Reid and Pelosi. They fight to win every single time and they never, ever, ever give an inch. I hate them, but I admire their willingness to do battle.

Is Obama trying to blackmail and create so much panic in the American people and Republicans in Congress that Congress will have no choice but to fund the Homeland Security bill stalled in Congress?
(Obama is such a two-faced hypocrite. On the one hand, he tries to reassure us that ISIS is a jayvee team, and so, according to Obama and his thugs, they really pose no true threat to the United States homeland, while, on the other hand, Obama----in order to try to get his version of the Homeland Security bill passed that grants all types of freebies instantly to 4 to 10 million illegals----warns us of terrible things that terrorists will do to us if Congress doesn't give Homeland Security everything it wants, such as broad powers to hand illegals all kinds of goodies like work permits and access to benefits like Social Security. )
Obama's blackmail attempt goes something like this:
1. Obama says: If you don't fund Homeland Security for the next year by giving it all the money it says it needs to fight terrorism---everyone knows that Obama is referring to Islamic terrorists, but he won't use the word "Islamic". What an idiot---terrorists will run wild over the United States, attacking such sites as malls and other buildings to the point that Americans will live in constant fear and terror for their lives.
2. On the other hand, according to Obama's blackmail attempt, if you give Homeland Security all the money it says it needs to fight terrorism, and, at the same time, also give it money and unlimited power to give 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to such things as work permits, housing, and benefits like Social Security, the United States will be a much safer and greater nation forever and ever. What a bunch of horse manure.
3. Hogwash: I say Hogwash. I say that it will slowly destroy the United States as we know it if we give Homeland Security broad powers to quickly process 4 to 10 million illegal aliens so that the illegals have instant access to such things as jobs, housing and benefits like Social Security.
Surrendering to Obama and illegal aliens demands will do more irreversible damage to our towns and cities than any terrorists' attacks will ever do.
4. So I say this to Republican Congressmen: We take our chances with terrorists and we shutdown Homeland Security. That is, I say that we take our chances for the next year with a stripped-down Homeland Security and hope that terrorists attacks will not be as horrible as Obama and his thugs paint them out to be.
(I believe it is safe to say that most illegals don't care about Islamic terrorists. In fact, I doubt if many illegals have any idea what Islam and ISIS are about. They are probably puzzled why Americans are so scared of this ISIS, a group far, far away on another continent nobody cares about. Most of the illegals only care about themselves. And the rest of America be damned.)
5. My point is this: Giving 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to jobs and benefits like Social Security will destroy more of the United States as we know it than any ISIS terrorist attacks in the coming year will ever destroy, even if we have to fight Islamic terrorists with a shutdown or stripped -down Homeland Security.
6. To the Republicans in Congress: Don't fall for Obama's blackmail attempt as he tries to persuade you to pass the Homeland Security bill so that he can legalize 4 to 10+ million illegals. Don't fall for Obama's scare tactics.
7. Handing Homeland Security almost unlimited broad powers this year to give 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to jobs and to such social benefits as Social Security benefits without a fight would be a horrible mistake, because such a surrender will do more severe damage to what we know as the American way of life than any ISIS terrorist attack that may hit the United States in the next year.
8. Again, I hope that Congress does not surrender to Obama's blackmail attempt when it comes to this horrible Homeland Security bill that gives Homeland Security almost unlimited powers to legalize 4 to 10+ million illegal aliens.
The killer blames the family for the death of the hostage because they didn't pay the ransom.
That's how a criminal enterprise thinks.

Eff Reid and the rest of his party...they ain’t in charge...
To heck with every govt employee, DHS, IRS, whatever! They act like it’s the end of the world if one govt employee loses pay, while the rest of us get fired, laid off, jobs eliminated, etc. The worthless users of oxygen get money taken out of the paycheck I earn to fund their pension (I don’t get one) to pay for their forever health insurance ( i have to pay for mine and $5000 ded), miriad holidays, sick days, personal days off while I get........nothing. I am absolutely sick of it all.
Well, dang, if this doesn’t get boehner to cave, then what will?
The next battle the Republican Congress wins will be the first.
HEY PELOSI!!! Obama is already ignoring the Texas judge.
The House and Senate can make their own rules with a majority votes so Reid can’t stop any Conference Committee.
