It is important to peruse that list and pick out those categories that the republican establishment in lockstep with the chamber of commerce is silently supporting.
1. Immigration, certainly. One can argue about their motives — I believe it’s to promote the serfing of America — but one cannot deny the reality. Big Politics and Big Business wants millions of low cost workers.
2. Obamacare. This is an area in which the gop establishment has also gone silent. Why? In their heart of hearts they want this put on the government. That doesn’t mean businesses necessarily should fund health care — I don’t think they should unless they want to — but that does not mean it should be shoved off on government. What about individual responsibility as a plan?
3. Environment. My sense is that our gop establishment is worried about the seas rising and the polar caps melting. I thought they would be smarter than to buy junk science, but it’s more important to follow the money with these characters. In their case James Carville’s line is true: “If you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park..” they’ll be all over it.
“Big Politics and Big Business wants millions of low cost workers.”
Once they are legal they will join unions and won’t be so cheap. Perhaps they will retain a decent work ethic unlike the existing entitled class who we will likely have to continue to support
Okay. Are you suggesting, dear brother in Christ, that the next election is all about some kind of Christian scourging of the GOP? Like the last election was all about preventing a person who held horrendous spiritual views from being elected POTUS, notwithstanding that on any objective view, he was by far "the lesser evil" in terms of the preservation of the liberty interests of the American people and the communities they form?
I bought a book today — Benjamin Carson's America the Beautiful — which I have only read so far as the endorsements and the Table of Contents. I am avid to read further.
One of the endorsements was from Franklin Graham, and I thought it wonderfully judicious and prudential:
Dr. Ben Carson has turned a spotlight on an unstable society that seeks to destroy the foundation upon which America was built. He has peered into the microscope lens that reveals the deception of those trying to rewrite the history of our country. He stirs up our national pride with historical accounts that reveal why America has been blessed of God and how close we are to the brink of losing freedoms won long ago through sacrifice and bloodshed. The heart of this nation has been severed from the lifeline of God's truth.Which instantly led me to the question: Why did so many Christians, really, sit out the Presidential Election of 2012, or give their precious vote to a guaranteed loser?
To my way of thinking, certainly these people did nothing to progress the well-being of a nation "blessed by God." What they inadvertently did, however, was to help return an unfit, unqualified, and ideologically deranged person to the office of POTUS.
And now, we get to suffer under his final two years in office, and watch him manipulate a Lame-Duck Congress into hewing to his unilateral mandates.
I hold to the view that all acts of an impeached president are, under our Constitution, null and void as to law.
But Obama is DEFYING us to impeach him. At which point, he thinks he can open the very gates of Hell against American society.
All this "drama" could have been obviated, two years ago....
