We are at the point that we have to take it back.
Because “keeping it” assumes we haven’t lost it.
We elected a majority of our own and are now in a worse situation than ever.
Some, like Dave Brat, have stood for what they ran on.
Most cowered to Boner and thus to Obama.
We need to send Dave Brat, Steve King, Louis Gomert and the 50 or so conservatives some reinforcements. There are only a half dozen Senators who are not Democrats in R jerseys on “our” side of the aisle.
PFLR
Not a this rate!
In their never-ending pursuit of the perfect progressive perpetual motion reelection machine, the delusional Democrats (but I repeat myself) have treated us to some 200 so-called Sanctuary Cities.
These are almost exclusively Democrat dominated enclaves where the so-called authorities have taken the position that illegal aliens may come there with no risk that their presence will be reported to the federales. Under existing federal law, cities are SUPPOSED to REPORT them and said federales are SUPPOSED to then collect them and DEPORT them whence they came. Note the use of the word supposed. Due to orders from the White House for several administrations (yes, Juanita, that includes the Bush operation!), the federales seldom, if ever, send these folks back home.
In their classic facts-be-damned, truth down the memory hole push to perfect society, the Dems have created the idiotic mantra that, because illegals feel more at home and comfortable in their sanctuary cities, they are more likely to come forth with INFORMATION about crimes and those fellow ILLEGALS among them who commit those crimes. As any rational citizen can see, here’s the problem with and the LIE about that: IF THOSE ILLEGALS WHO COMMIT THOSE CRIMES WERE NOT HERE, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR WITNESSES TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION! (And that beautiful young woman shot 3 times by that ILLEGAL in SanFrancisco would still be alive!)
The politicians’ reasons for their failure to follow the federal law vary depending on their party.
G.W. Bush (a Republican) hails from Texas and grew up in a home where, as a baby and young boy, he and Jeb were cared for by a beloved Hispanic nanny. As the boys grew, I suspect they had numerous Hispanic friends. And, because Texas has a large Hispanic population, as adults, their contacts with folks from south of the border were almost certainly numerous and frequent. One would hope that their associates were here legally, but I digress. Those life-long associations with Hispanics produced warm, fuzzy feelings in G and Jeb who is married to the daughter of a migrant worker and live in a home where SPANISH is their preferred means of communication and those feelings persist until today.
Democrats Clinton and Obama have somewhat different reasons for their failure to follow the legislative mandates of Congress in this area. This brings us back to that perfect progressive perpetual motion machine at the top of this rant: Because the majority of those illegals are collecting taxpayer funded welfare benefits and working off the books and, therefore, NOT paying taxes, they reciprocate the warm and fuzzy feelings not to the Bush boys or the GOP but to the DEMOCRATS (and the RINOs) who keep the axles on their gravy train well greased. While it’s hard to pin down the numbers, the estimate is that, of those Hispanics who DO vote, 65% or more pull the D lever lest the nasty old Pubbies derail the train.
One additional element is required and the federal courts inhabited by numerous Democrat appointed judges are in the process of happily providing it with their increasing rulings that STATES CAN NO LONGER DEMAND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP OF THOSE WHO SHOW UP ON ELECTION DAY! (Sounds like it’s time for a 10th Amendment gut check.)
You see, the donkey party and their progressive lapdog handmaidens in the media, are, in fact, on course to construct that perfect perpetual motion machine and, if the Pubbies don’t get out in front of this thing and soon they will never win another national election.
If you read in this that I’m a bigot or racist or both, you are wrong. I just understand that a nation without borders is NOT a nation. My and my wife’s ancestors were permitted entry to this country ONLY after standing in a long line and jumping through all the hoops then required for citizenship.
It’s long past time to end this madness before more of us are killed by people who shouldn’t even be here. We have more than enough indigenous criminals without importing more!
If you want to know why the whole immigration mess is a fraud and a sham, watch this 6 minute video by Roy Beck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjzfGChGlE
No, it can’t be kept; it’s already lost to the approval of the American people.
We are seeing the excesses of democracy every day.
Too busy. Too lazy. Not really that interested.
Not interested in the pain that comes with defending a contrary position.
Republicans know that a position contrary to the socialist agenda will be attacked by the socialist press, the pundits will call them mean names (like mean).
And yes defending a conservative constitutional view point is work, it is easier to go along to get along (be bi-partisan).
And defending jealously the congressional powers from the encroachment by the Executive and Judicial branch is also work. It also invites the partisan presss ire and the Democrats will say mean things about you if you dont go along to get along (I know thats redundant).
It makes the job easy if you let the Supreme Court make all of the tough decisions and then you can say mean things about them (Yah, thats sweet).
Yep, I think you pegged it when you said Too lazy.
That’s the question left out of the headline -
“have we?”
No
This article is spot on! The Republicans need to fight like Hell In order for the rank and file Democrats(Reagan Democrats) to cross over parties. They need to know we love freedom. Many Democrats do too. They have just fallen asleep.
I don't see how you can draw that conclusion from Franklin's remark.
Given the history of the last 2000 years he was far more likely thinking of the possibility of the Republic degenerating into a tyranny or monarchy.
As indeed the French Republic did only a few years later. After, to be fair, going through a series of upheavals associated in some cases with excessive democracy.
We have already lost the republic. It no longer functions to represent the people. It is run by 5 court members, an out of control executive, and a useless legislative.
We no longer have one.
Truman left the White House nearly bankrupt. Somehow since that time politics has become a mechanism whereby one could become fabulously wealthy. The first thing we need to do is to revoke Congress' ability to oversee themselves. Term limits is also necessary.
How such is accomplished is the question since it's those whores in the first place who would have to pass the changes.
The entire system is corrupt.
I doubt that it will be kept because Americans are now ignorant of how their freedom came about and under what system. Government education has brainwashed students and has steered them toward socialism and communism since the 1970s. A small very wealthy elite wants to rule over 99% of this society and they think they can do that through socialism which will naturally evolve into communism. I wish I could have hope but when the people win elections, nothing changes. And, look at the Supreme Court rulings as of late. It is likely that white people will either die off or be killed off and then the browns and blacks will fight it out for supremacy. Sad.
Can we kill or deport all the leftists and start over? < /sarc >
We need to send Dave Brat, Steve King, Louis Gomert and the 50 or so conservatives some reinforcements.
You didn’t understand my post. That’s ok, too.
I am 100% for it.
