‘politicians will ALWAYS be afraid to do what this country needs...
They will either just have to do what they need to do to get their jobs done despite obstacles or go down in history as the ones who gave it up.
Our military does not go around saying or acting this way.
If they did, imagine what it would be.
Fear is THEIR problem. They don’t want to do their jobs for fear, they can let someone else in and stop pretending.
And they can STOP pledging allegiance to the flag, and taking an oath of office, to protect the Constitution as long as they’re too afraid of the media, who do neither, and they can quit taking money and power from lobbyists and brokers and work for their constituents, do their homework and get to the details of the job.
Fear. No excuse.
I think my comment was probably more for the people who excuse the Congress-critters’ fears because there’s always one more election/hurdle to overcome first, before anything can be done - because if anything is ever done, the next election will be a rout.
At some point the buzzer is gonna go off and the time to score all the baskets will be past. Obama’s lawlessness is an immediate existential threat RIGHT NOW. He’s armed, trained, and allowed our enemies into this country in full view of everyone. The WMD that ends this nation may already have come through the border - or it might be en route from Venezuela even as we speak... Who knows whether there will even be a 2016 election - whether the nation will survive that long? The “tomorrow” everybody says we have to wait for before acting may never come if we don’t act now.
I’m sure that some of the members of Congress want to be smart about the timing of their efforts, to give it the best chance. And that’s the concern with many here as well. There are also moles planted here to make arguments that sound good, but are geared to demoralize us, as KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov said is the plan of America’s enemies. But I think that people need to be aware of the existential urgency, and not automatically assume that there will be 2016 elections, given the speed at which Obama is moving with his new “flexibility”.
