"Congress has an historic opportunity to lay down a marker for freedom and stop the erosion of freedom emanating from the pen of President Obama. They were elected to do just that, to not only stop the fundamental transformation of America, but to create the alternative vision of a prosperous, free America where citizens know that hard work is the pathway to success. They were elected to protect and defend the Constitution from the tidal wave of encroachments that threaten the basic God-given freedom from government that individuals are guaranteed."
Nice of the outgoing senate and congress to give Obama another 10 months of writing rules without any oversight.
Congress has to figure out a way govern in the face of Caliph Barack.
It was a simple choice for me. Utter repudiation of Obama’s goals and ideas and a dire wish to stop his policies at any cost juxtaposed against an outright disgust at Republican leadership.
The Republican leadership drew second on the hate list, but they’re now number one on the list. Let’s see what they’ll do. 2016 is by no means a lock for them.
The GOP has once again deceived its base. It says one thing and then does another. When will the base wake up and stop falling for this biennial trickery?
And they damn-well know this is not true.
But the GOPEs are confident they can win without the conservative base and that they can re-mold enough conservative members of the caucus so the conservative bloc is reduced to irrelevancy. This the leadership truly believes. Hopefully they will be proven as wrong about this as they are about their mandate they think is to "work effectively with the president".
Great piece.
McCarthy is a rare NR contributor who gets it.
"It was not elected to make Washington “work” but to keep Washington from working against Americans."
Thanks for the ping. Good article.
