What does Boehner, our fearless leader, have to say about this nonsense?

Nothing but the sound of crickets coming from the Republicans.

The inevitable and disastrous result of the 17th amendment. Senators simply cede their lawful state authority to the emperor with no recourse left to the citizens.

Hey Nevada, represent this.

Go ahead and do it Kenyan. Hopefully these few words will be a clarion call:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.”

Removal from office by an armed posse of patriots would be too kind for this miscreant.

WE say these things, but there’s not a complete set of balls in all of our government.

Emmett Tyrrell asks, "Has Harry Reid Committed a Felony or Just a Misdemeanor?"

Majority Leader Harry's transgression is that for over 1300 days, he has failed to pass a budget. In fact, there is no evidence he has even tried. This is against the law. Federal law clearly requires the Congress to pass a budget every year.

Looks to me like Felonious Harry Reid is a repeat offender. What's the rule on repeat offenders, three strikes, he's out, right?

Conspiracy for treason.

We are on the verge of CWII. The Democrats are acting like the US Government is a democracy, which gives the ruling party the ability to ride roughshod over the minority, which are the God fearing, family oriented, gun clinging fly-over country Americans. We are/were a Constitutional Republic, which protected the rights of the minority from abuse by the majority. Dictator Obama and the democrats are hell-bent on bringing down our Republic. I would guess that their model for America is a Totalitarian dictatorship that they WILL accomplish through Cloward-Piven stratety of overwhelming the system. This requires that they collaple the economy to re-boot the system to their vision of Statism.

It is interesting to me that Boehner was so freakin' naive to think that Obama was negotiating in good faith in the "Financial Cliff" debacle. Most, if not all Freepers know what is going on. We can not and will not negotiate the end of the Republic. If Obama exerts dictatorial control over the Debt Ceiling, America is F*cked! It isn't too much of a stretch of the imagination to see that their goal is to nullify the Constitution and inject their goal of a Communist-Marxist government. They have to exert Gun confiscation to achieve their objectives. Look for it in the next few weeks by EO from Satan's deciple BHO and Hairball Reid.

I find this incredible. You wouldn’t think a senator would put it in such open terms as the headline implies. I see he’s careful to say “lawful” and couch it in terms of avoiding default. Which isn’t at risk, though they profit from pretending.

By the way, there is no lawful way for the president to bypass Congress on appropriation. So this is utterly empty blather. Unless there’s one of them emergency buttons.

I think Congress as a whole passes budgets, not Reid. The house has passed a few, so they’re off the hook. I don’t see why Reid couldn’t blame the rest of the senate, or at least everyone who voted budgets down, in place of himself.

Appropriating money without a budget is another matter, and they’ve done that (boy, howdy.) But you can’t throw then all out of office ans in jail. Or can you?

Saying that obama is going to lawfully spend money the Congress didn’t authorize is like saying obama is going to lawfully bugger an 8 year old boy - which he probably does on a regular basis as a member in good standing with his islamofascist cult.

Ignoring Congress in the matter of the budget will be an indication of what is to come, for those so thick that they can’t see it already.

If obumbler ignores the Constitution, or rather purposefully illegally evades the Constitution, then the 2Nd Amendment nor any other part of it is of any importance to him.

Maning not only your guns, but your gold, your property and perhaps even your life is not safe.

The inauguration of obumbler, this month, is the worst thing to ever happen to the US since the Civil War.

And the sheep have not one clue.

Let ‘em bypass

- except make Democrat Party responsible for every dollar $$ borrowed.

The Party must pay back every buck and cannot spend any money for campaign until we return to present.
