What power on Earth has managed to render the once dynamic, powerful entity aka the 'Grand Old Party' into a bunch of pusillanimous impotent, mute, chicken-s**t, political eunuchs, scared to even utter the "I" word, have this vacuous entity of no portfolio remain in complete control of the agenda in defiance of every rule of law, governmental institution flaunted to egregious impunity,apathy?
It's quite bizarre, inexplicable.
I’m happy to see that SOMEONE has awakened!
Now, if we could only get CONGRESS out of the COMA that they are in.......
Yes, it is inexplicable.
As for Natsie H., well, he just got out-liberaled and is in a snit about it. Too bad, too late.
The Republican party hasn’t existed since 1989 when Reagan left office. My theory is right after that, the libs started disguising themselves as Repubs and slowly took over the whole party whereas today it’s a party that is completely castrated. So what we got now is a Marxist run amok, completely unopposed running the country under Marxism and soft tyranny soon to be hard tyranny. This is exactly why guns sales have gone through the roof, and I don’t care what anyone says: There is not a chance in hell this Kenyan piece of pig vomit won that last election legitimately. These two main political parties working in unison usurped the election process and appointed him Monarch.
Obama’s program is actually one of extinction for the human race, starting here I guess. His answer to falling birth rates and the demographic inversion? More abortion and gay marriage. Illness? cripple the medical sector. Challenge of Chinese military technology? disarm. Economic doldrums ? Dis-incentivize work. If he were a space alien working to wipe out the human race so that extra-terrestrials could take over, he could hardly do better.
If I’m not mistaken, Hentoff is pro-life and pro-gun. Not sure why he is otherwise a liberal.

He's gonna make Bohner cry again.
Nat Hentoff a liberal icon and Constitutional expert? Who knew? Bet he didn’t know himself, an old jazz writer and promoter.
Barry and his puppetmaster, Valerie Jarrett like to whine a lot about “the mess” left to them by George Bush. The damage these two pixies are causing to America right now is going to take generations to repair. Things are going to get a lot worse before they ever start getting better in his country.
The Beltway Republican Party has become irrelevant. At least to this conservative former Republican. It is now moribund. Its embrace of “comprehensive immigration reform” is the final nail in its coffin.
The Beltway Republicans have been seduced by the MSM and big business $$. They are alien to me and many like me. Why bother with them. The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Time for a Conservative party.
Time for Obama to be impeached.
I wish I could do something about the current depressing state of America, but it seems beyond my control.
Depressed more and more each day.
Hentoff is pro- life. He’s an odd duck, but he has some integrity.
If you impeach him you have to impeach every one of the one the Hill.
That’s what the WH is going to look like when the Kenyan leaves..if he leaves. Remember when the Rapist in Chief Clinton left and they found everything destroyed and even rumors of human sh*t left on the desk? So you can imagine what a terror supporting hardcore Marxist will do, they’ll probably blow the place up.
I am in total agreement.
It is in fact bizarre, insane, and yet this country continues down this path.
Apathy and ignorance is being held up and defended as a virtue.
The left as soo completely co-opted virtually every aspect of society into thinking that making a judgement call is a form of discrimination.
We are not allowed to call someone out for being stupid, ignorant, crude, hypocritical or degenerate.
It’s become relative.
We are living in a world that embraces uncertainty.
I expect the IRS and the FBI to show up at Nat’s door any day now.
As to the Founders' "separation of powers" principle:
Separation of Powers
- the genius of America's Constitution
America's Founders had just declared themselves free of a tyrannical government. They were determined that such tyranny would never be repeated in this land. Their new charter of government - the Constitution - carefully defined the powers delegated to government. The Founders were determined to bind down the administrators of the federal government with Constitutional chains so that abuse of power in any of its branches would be prevented. The revolutionary idea of separation of powers, although unpopular at first, became a means by which this was to be accomplished.
John Adams, in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, stated: "I call you to witness that I was the first member of Congress who ventured to come out in public, as I did in January 1776, in my 'Thoughts on Government,' ...in favor of a government with three branches, and an independent judiciary..." By the time the Constitution was adopted, the idea was supported by all of the members of the Convention. James Madison, the father of the Constitution, devoted five Federalist Papers (47-51) to an explanation of how the Executive, Legislative, and judicial branches were to be wholly independent of each other, yet bound together through an intricate system of checks and balances. Madison believed that keeping the three branches separated was fundamental to the preservation of liberty. He wrote:
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
George Washington, in his Farewell Address, reminded Americans of the need to preserve the Founders' system. He spoke of the "love of power and proneness to abuse it which predominates in the human heart" and warned of the "necessity of reciprocal checks of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories and constituting each the guardian ... against invasions by the others." Of such checks and balances through the separation of powers be concluded, "To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them."

If even dyed-in-the-wool libs are saying this... Where the hell is our Congressional GOP leadership? I mean, other than on Leno trashing their own base...
Not at all. It’s easy to explain.
FR is widely believed to be an extremely conservative site. Far more conservative than the general public. That’s a given.
Yet even here, there are a significant number of posters who knowing that the GOP has in the past consistantly, and has shown intent to continue forwarding Obama approved policies regarding illegal immigration, Obamacare, Vet benefits/military policies, Say that they are a lesser evil we must vote for “No matter what”.
So if here on the far right Repubs know they have nothing to fear from the far right of the wing, they can be 100% sure that they will get enough votes to stay in non-opposition positions of ‘power’.
Simple. People got what they voted for. If they didn’t want that, they wouldn’t have voted to empower the GOP toward more liberalism.
The joke was people had to vote against Obama last time to prove they weren’t idiots after voting to show they were not racist the first time.
Same goes for Republican voters. If they vote for more of this insanity this time, after seeing how far left the GOP has flown in the last couple years, they too will be shown to be irredeemable idiots.
And instead of attacking the messengers, perhaps the GOP fanboys and girls ought to engage their brains instead of their emotions.
