If you saw this museum you no doubt know that the National Road was the subject of the first big Congressional slugfest about the proper role of Government.
Many in the Congress felt that building roads was NOT a proper function of the Federal Government. And they nearly prevailed. Some of us wish perhaps that they had.
To: onyx
More infrastructure spending? Like we were supposed to do in Porkulus I? We still have roadside signs about the Pittsburgh area advertising the wonderful improvements underway thanks to Porkulus I.
Only, for the most part, the roads are just as crappy as they were before the signs were erected. I guess the irony is lost on these nimrods.

Six years in, and he hasnt figured out that he needs to come up with a Plan B. Neither have most of his sycophants. As long as their EBT cards are loaded and their ObamaPhones keep flowing, they never will.

It is amazing the length of time he’s been able to spin this same tired schtick for. We must be getting stupider by the day.

Reeling from his over 4 year failure to achieve his stated goal of Fundamentally changing the United States of America,” Communist Tyrant B. Hussein Obama has embarked on another expensive road trip to try to sell his Commune-Style power grab of 1/6 th of the US economy by promoting the idea that increased Federal debt is the best way of salvation for the over-taxed Middle Class.
The problem is not with loyal Communist Obama, as he is just doing what his Communist trainers have taught him to do.
The problem lies with the sorry House RINOs who keep John Boehner on as their useless, Commie Obama enabler Speaker.
Nothing is going to help Commie Obama more than to keep John Boehner on as Speaker of the House.
Boehner has repeatedly stated his baseless fear that If the Republicians stand up and oppose Obama we might be blamed by the Liberals for __________________(Fill in the blank).
It is time for the House RINOs to step up to the plate and fight FOR The Republic, and not wallow in the baseless fears of losing the fake prasie of Liberals when a “Bi-Partisan Cave-In” is finally agreed to.
The reality is that WE would cheer “Shutting down the Government,” and it’s ‘non-essential’ Federal expenditures, or “playing politics” with Commie Obama’s “phony scandals” such as the Obama coverup of the Benghazi Massacre, or the NSA, or IRS, etc., etc., etc.
Rather than taking the fight TO the enemy, in this case the inexorable attempt to turn our Republic into a Communist State, Boehner has consistently shown that he is not a fighter.
It is time during Commie Obamas con-artist tour of the remaining Liberal bastions in America for us to demand from our sorry House RINOs that they depose scardy-cat Boehner as Speaker, and install a FIGHTER worthy of our trust in his/her record of defeating Communist Con-Artists such as B. Hussein Obama.
What say all of you?

Good, bout time he pried some of the Trillions he took to build the infrastructure back from his Mafia friends and spent it on the road work he promised the first and second time.

What does it matter what we say? Boehner is not elected by national vote, but by a small district. It’s not up to us.

Not really a surprise that Obama thinks that MORE spending is the answer for deep debt.

After five years, you'd think there'd be thousands of shovel-ready projects ready to go. The funds are there, thanks to a variety of "trust funds" for highways, airports, etc.
Many could be started tomorrow if the EPA would quit worrying about snail darters, etc.

I say The Fix is in; Boehner, Cantor, McCain, and Rubio are clearly collaborators and Traitors who are Trojan Horse Democrats, Statists, and globalists.
The question is whether there are enough Patriots in High Places who CAN make a difference...those who ARE willing to make such a commitment as the Founders' had: On this page of the Declaration of Independence, before the ink of the signatures, there is a single poignant line that many people often skim past. It reads:
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
In fact, of the fifty-six that signed, five were captured and tortured by the British twelve had their homes destroyed seventeen lost their fortunes the sons of two of the men were killed and others were captured and nine lost their lives in the war.
The Founders' Sacrifice

We need to destroy the
"Establishment Republicans" and go for Obama's and the Democrats' throats.
But we won't get this solved without using the Second Amendment solution !

Absolutely. Brilliant post, BTW. Boehner is a cry-baby appeaser. The day the House voted him as their leader was the day it was all over for this country. No point having a Republican House if all they do is cave repeatedly. I am SO disappointed in them.
The 108th Congress - the one that passed HR4437 to end illegal immigration and enforce laws that help American workers - and passed it in the face of Bush White House threats and the RINO Senate, was a House of action and principle. This one we have now is just a disappointment.

That is just beautiful. And moreso since they meant every word.
Our 'representatives' today don't have the character to even come close. If we end up in a civil war or economic collapse, I think some natural leaders will emerge that have the same backbone and principles of our founding fathers. But they won't come from the political ranks. They'll be just every-day-Joes and their courage will surprise even those that know them well. Maybe even surprise themselves.

The bigger problem: Fake "Leadership" and collaborators like Boehner and Cantor fail to represent their conservative constituency, ergo they do not concern themselves with Constitutional ideology and principle.
Until the globalist/statist Boehners and McCains of the GOP are called out and removed, 0bama's scheduled utter destruction of the Republic will continue.

The last paragraph of tha article was hard-hitting as well:
? In signing your name, you are giving up your life and risking so much, but in the end, life is what you gain. But just like the founding fathers, the temptation to leave your name off the record in an attempt to save your life will only lead to not just the loss of your life, but the loss of so much more.
Lots of food for thought.

Boehner is not elected by national vote, but by a small district. Boehner's power exponentially transcends his local election in a "small district" in Ohio; He is Speaker of the House; Is #3 in the line of Presidential succession; assigns committee-ships, and (in theory) "leads the loyal opposition". In theory he is also responsible for helping establish the Republican House strategy and agenda.
The potential power of Boehner to affect and address 0bama's agenda and scandals within a Republican majority is great. Instead he's been a disgrace -- he's wielded his "Leadership" role in the House of Representative as a hammer to help 0bama evade justice while both destroy the Republic.
