How the DHS fight shows that the right wing is (thankfully) toothless, and that Congress is essentially leaderless.
So here’s something I’ve often wondered over the last few years. What exactly would happen if John Boehner bucked the right-wingers in the House? You know—if he gave us one of those heroic Hollywood moments that we so long for in this sail-trimming city and gave a big speech about how he was putting principle ahead of politics and the consequences be damned.
You know what I think would happen? If, say, he followed Mitch McConnell’s lead and allowed a vote on a clean DHS-funding bill? After all the dust settled—nothing. Oh, the dust would fly to the heavens for a few days. Tea Partiers would scream about his betrayal. Rush Limbaugh and all the rest of them would fulminate. There’d be a few breathless stories about how his speakership was in mortal peril. And then, something else would happen in the news cycle, the intoxicating effect of the drug of munity would wear off, and we’d be back to exactly where we were before the dust went skyward.

Hahaha
Yes we know that Boehner is one of the enemies. And the article is encouraging him to become a FURTHER enemy of conservatives.
It’s laughable and telling.
Sorry, just getting frustrated.
The sky would turn blue? The sun would rise in the east? Bears would poop in the woods? The Pope would become Catholic?
More Marxism is always courageous.
Pray America is waking
The Left has made the full transition to totalitarianism. DHS is stocking up on ammo, guns and vehicles. Their agents legally commit millions of sexual assaults every year at the airport.
Embracing a proto-Gestapo organization like DHS is proof of their totalitarian mindset.

“Hey, Boehner: Show Some Stones...”
Must have some to show some.
(Obama is such a two-faced hypocrite. On the one hand, he tries to reassure us that ISIS is a jayvee team, and so, according to Obama and his thugs, they really pose no true threat to the United States homeland, while, on the other hand, Obama----in order to try to get his version of the Homeland Security bill passed that grants all types of freebies instantly to 4 to 10 million illegals----warns us of terrible things that terrorists will do to us if Congress doesn't give Homeland Security everything it wants, such as broad powers to hand illegals all kinds of goodies like work permits and access to benefits like Social Security. )
Obama's blackmail attempt goes something like this:
1. Obama says: If you don't fund Homeland Security for the next year by giving it all the money it says it needs to fight terrorism---everyone knows that Obama is referring to Islamic terrorists, but he won't use the word "Islamic". What an idiot---terrorists will run wild over the United States, attacking such sites as malls and other buildings to the point that Americans will live in constant fear and terror for their lives.
2. On the other hand, according to Obama's blackmail attempt, if you give Homeland Security all the money it says it needs to fight terrorism, and, at the same time, also give it money and unlimited power to give 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to such things as work permits, housing, and benefits like Social Security, the United States will be a much safer and greater nation forever and ever. What a bunch of horse manure.
3. Hogwash: I say Hogwash. I say that it will slowly destroy the United States as we know it if we give Homeland Security broad powers to quickly process 4 to 10 million illegal aliens so that the illegals have instant access to such things as jobs, housing and benefits like Social Security.
Giving all those illegals all that they demand will do more irreversible damage to our towns and cities than any terrorists' attacks will ever do.
4. So I say this to Republican Congressmen: We take our chances with terrorists and we shutdown Homeland Security. That is, we take our chances for the next year with a stripped-down Homeland Security and hope that terrorists attacks will not be as horrible as Obama and his thugs paint them out to be.
(I believe it is safe to say that most illegals don't care about Islamic terrorists. In fact, I doubt if many illegals have any idea what Islam and ISIS are about. They are probably puzzled why Americans are so scared of this ISIS, a group far, far away on another continent nobody cares about. Most of the illegals only care about themselves. And the rest of America be damned.)
5. My point is this: Giving 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to jobs and benefits like Social Security will destroy more of the United States as we know it than any ISIS terrorist attacks in the coming year will ever destroy, even if we have to fight Islamic terrorists with a shutdown or stripped-down Homeland Security.
6. To the Republicans in Congress: Don't fall for Obama's blackmail attempt as he tries to persuade you to pass the Homeland Security bill so that he can legalize 4 to 10+ million illegals. Don't fall for Obama's scare tactics.
7. Handing Homeland Security almost unlimited broad powers this year to give 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to jobs and to such social benefits as Social Security benefits without a fight would be a horrible mistake, because such a surrender will do more severe damage to what we know as the American way of life than any ISIS terrorist attack that may hit the United States in the next year.
8. Again, I hope that Congress does not surrender to Obama's blackmail attempt when it comes to this horrible Homeland Security bill that gives Homeland Security almost unlimited powers to legalize 4 to 10+ million illegal aliens.
