Mark Steyn: Democrats Deliver on Their Agenda, Republicans Don't
Fox News ^ | August 5,2017

Posted on 08/05/2017 1:58:49 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Author Mark Steyn reminded that when Democrats were in power in Congress under President Obama they did not waste time moving forward with their agenda, something the Republican Congress has struggled to do this year.

"Whatever you feel, they get into power and they deliver, boom, right from the first day," Steyn told "Fox & Friends" on Saturday.

Steyn listed some Democrat projects from the Obama era: governmentalized health care, transgenders in the military, gay marriage, open borders, and climate change initiatives.

The party caters to key niche demographics of their base, Steyn said.

Republicans take years longer than Democrats to get the same things done, he continued, reminding that "slick parliamentarians" Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have been unable to pass any major legislation.

That’s because what we have in so many Republicans, are gutless wonders or actual insurgent Democrats stalling. /coughJohnMcCainetc.cough

Democrats know where they’re going - to hell in one form or another.

The GOP has no idea where they’re going.

The American People need to take charge, run the show, and do whatever it take to restore America’s Free Constitutional Republic which is where America is going.

Sure they do. It’s just like ole Hillary says:

There’s one position meant for the general public’s consumption.

And then there is their REAL, private position, the one they advance while mocking the ease with which the Great Unwashed’ can be distracted and therefore managed.

For years, the GOPe has been telling us Mitch McConnell is some kind of hidden genius at working the legislative process.

McConnell has to be one of the least capable people to rise to such a high position in American history. For the life of me, I cannot understand why there has not been more of an outcry over his total incompetence and lack of vision.

I’ll take a failed Republican agenda over a successful Democrat agenda every day of the week.

Democrats Deliver on Their Agenda

Except for that giving the black community a hand, and help getting out of the ghetto thing.
And I don't mean Affirmative Action and welfare.

Oh the Republicans have delivered on their agenda all right. But their agenda includes breaking faith with and breaking promises to the voters they have defrauded to line their pockets and those they are in bed with. Don’t confuse their agenda with our agenda.

But the Republican agenda is the Democratic agenda, and the "agenda" that has failed is the voters expectation that something would be done to overturn the democratic agenda that has been so lucrative for the GOP.

[Democrats know where they’re going - to hell in one form or another.]

That’s actually pretty accurate. They make it part and parcel of their agendas. Which is why I often say we’re facing the spirit of antichrist. That’s why facts, reason, logic and oftentimes, even Scripture bounces off them like bullets on Superman.

Mitch isn't incompetent. He's doing exactly what his owners are telling him to do.

The sooner people realize that the US Government - 'Rats, GOP, Deep State - is a thoroughly corrupt institution run by the Ruling Global Elites the sooner we can get this long overdue revolution started.
