Republican lawmakers – who are unhappy with the perceived “executive overreach†of the Obama administration – are forming a new task force to find “legislative solutions†to challenge the president’s power — and they picked a telling lawmaker to lead the effort. Rep. Steve King (R-IA), a passionate anti-immigrant hardliner, will serve as chairman.
The task force will conduct hearings and investigations “relating to separation of powers and executive overreach issues,†according to the resolution approved on a voice vote on Wednesday. It’s unclear which of President Obama’s executive actions the task force will focus on, but immigration policies will probably feature prominently.
My gawd. The dillusional gymnastics to rationalize a lie are the minds defense mechanism against total break down. Good luck.

Kind of sounds like a Trump supporter to me.
It’s the yellowtail talking.
Chug a lug chug a lug, burns your tummy don’t ya know....
Got it!! Thanks. I think you are on to something. I will back off out of respect for what?
Yes. CNN did NOT report “OUT” regarding Carson. King tweeted Carson was OUT, not that Carson was taking a leave, like CNN reported. So yes, King put his own spin on the situation.
Saying that makes people hate me. Oh well. It’s the absolute truth. I stand by it. It’s documented.
Sure isn’t a Cruz supporter.

1) “Mid day, mid blizzard, 15 degrees, Crazy Raccoon chewing and clawing his way into my house. Desert Eagle 1, Crazy Raccoon zero.â€
2) “…my wife lives here with me, and I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, she’s at far greater risk being a civilian in Washington, D.C. than an average civilian in Iraq.â€
8) “Eskimos got along all these centuries without fruit and vegetables.â€
9) “Babies born in America now owe the federal government $44,231 each.â€
10) “…11,000 illegal border crossings in a 24-hour period, a lot of that taking place at night. When you think of 11,000 a night, and so I ask the question, what was the size of Santa Ana’s army? About half that. That, Mr. Speaker, is the magnitude of the illegal border crossings that we’re seeing.â€
11) “We have a very, very urban Senator, Barack Obama, who has decided he’s going to run for president, and what does he do? He introduces legislation to create a whole new Pigford claim.â€
19) “Now Obama also makes Hugo Chavez look like a piker when it comes to nationalizing American business.â€
20) “Can you just tell us what year and what visa, then, Mr. Venegas?â€
23) “110 deaths is not alarming to me.â€
24) “I live in the middle of corn. And it’ll be rotational leaning towards beans this year, and that’s great too.â€
25) “Pick the one that’s the friskiest, the one that’s in games the most–not the one that’s over there sleeping in the corner. So you got the pick of the litter and you’ve got yourself a pretty good bird dog.â€
26) “If someone is insulted by that, I don’t know that they belong in this country. Jesus talked about animals and compared people to animals. I’m Catholic, my bishop is my shepherd and we are his sheep.â€
27) “When the legislation that passed in the farm bill that says that it’s a federal crime to watch animals fight or to induce someone else to watch an animal fight but it’s not a federal crime to induce somebody to watch people fighting, there’s something wrong with the priorities of people that think like that.â€
30) “So that means the 75-year-old grandmother gets the spread-eagle search and while that happens, maybe the 20-year-old Middle Eastern male waltzes through with a smirk on his face. I’m not making that up. I’ve seen that. That image will not ever leave my mind.â€
Hey hold on. Not telling you to back off. No way. Just trying to explain what you’re seeing here.
Pretty evident, isn’t it?
No bias in that headline.....
Thank you so much for the truth. I have been so much in the “Alamo”here but — I feel better now !! God Bless!!
I know it stings. It will go away in the morning.
Awe, aren’t you just the sly little dog, I bet you practice those little sayings for hours and hours............and hours.
Their Only Weapon
A correspondent on Lawrence Auster’s site,
commenting on republican Arkansas Governor Huckabee’s feeling that racism is fueling the anti-immigration sentiment, wrote:
“All he has to do is stand up there, give one inane comment after another and use the word that puts trembling in the hearts of the American people and shut them down. Racist.”
A cartoon I saw recently showed a Mexican-flag-waving illegal snarling at a white man, saying something like “Let me into your prosperous country, you damned racist xenophobe.” It captured perfectly the dynamic involved in the immigration debate: people who have no leverage other than guilt are using it to control us.
What are they going to do the day that white people stop running from that word, “racist”?
I have begun, among my white friends, to acknowledge that I am a racist. I say, “If by racist, you mean that I think there are actual differences, genetic differences, between racial groups that have real consequences, then yes I am a racist. If you mean that I feel more of an affinity for people of my ethnic group, that I feel more comfortable and at home with them, then yes I am a racist. If you mean I put the interests of my people, my ethnic group, ahead of the interests of others just as I put my family’s interests over others, then yes I am a racist. But if by “racist” you mean someone who believes in genocide or slavery or hatred or oppression of other ethnic groups, then no, I am not a racist.”
I sense that many white people have had enough of being bullied with the “racist” label. But there are two ways of handling that accusation. One is to claim that you’re not actually a racist. This is the approach most whites take right now, but it hands all of the power over to the non-white person, who can then act as judge and jury on the evidence to decide whether the white person is a racist or not. The other approach is to say, “yeah, I’m a racist; so what?” There is no answer to that. If you prefer your own people and put their interests ahead of others’ without engaging in hatred or violence, what’s it to them?
Perhaps the non-whites and liberals are flinging the “racist” accusation with such vehemence because they sense that the white majority is losing patience. Their one tool, their one way of controlling white people, is losing its efficacy, so they ramp up the volume and the bitterness to try to keep the upper hand. Their worst nightmare is that white people stop flinching at the word because that will be the day that anti-whites (both non-whites and whites who scorn whiteness) lose their only weapon.
But while we need to assert that we, like every other healthy people on earth, are indeed “racists”, what we want to avoid this time is letting the pendulum swing back the other way into hatred. We don’t want another Hitler. We don’t want burning crosses. We don’t want oppression and injustice. We just want to assert our right to survive as a distinct people and to separate ourselves physically and politically from those who threaten our safety, prosperity, and unique identity.
That being said, he has a lot of high roller constituents who really, REALLY like low-cost labor in the hog and poultry industries and general manufacturing (what is left of it here), so I'm not saying he shouldn't be watched. But a racist? Laughable.

You’re a moron
No. King tweeted that "it looks like" he's out.
