Caving To DHS Brouhaha (and This Week’s Smashwords Coupon)

Caving To DHS Brouhaha; and This Week’s Smashwords Coupon

I’ve been trying to stay off of politics on this blog for a little bit, but the OCCUPIER OF THE WHITE HOUSE and the rest of THE POWERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE in Washington are making it awfully difficult.

The media and the Democrats were in a tizzy for a couple of weeks, shouting at every opportunity that those mean obstructionist Republicans weren’t funding the Department of Homeland Security. Because of this, our country was doomed to be attacked any minute by… someone (they didn’t dare name who, or their religion, but rest assured they’re out there.)

The Republicans we have been sending to Washington IN GREATER AND GREATER NUMBERS TO BE THE OPPOSITION are still too weak-kneed to oppose the BAD PRESS, which media kept a countdown clock to see how long it would take the EVIL Republicans to see the writing on the wall and CAVE.

It didn’t take long at all. Speaker John Beohner ( r – he doesn’t deserve an upper-case R anymore) and 74 other ( r)epublicans SHIRKED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION and voted to give the Occupier everything he wanted. 5-10 million ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS will be rewarded for breaking our laws by an unconstitutional action by the Occupier.

Why is it that the need for the DEMOCRATS to CAVE was never a topic of conversation? For those of you who weren’t really paying attention, and those Republicans who just don’t seem to get it, here are some observations:

1.     Why was everyone so afraid of the DHS being “shut-down” while we stood strong and refused to fund UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS? There would have been no real shut-down: the vast majority of DHS employees (the essential ones) would still have come to work.

2.    In case people have forgotten, the ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT was “shut down” for 16 days in 2013, yet no one seemed to be worried about DHS back then. The Occupier put all his efforts into unnecessarily closing down outdoor monuments and such, including ones he had no authority over (scenic turnouts from the highway to view Mt Rushmore?) You would think with all the manpower he was able to put into this effort, he could probably have kept the DHS running just fine (IF HE REALLY CARED ABOUT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY HE COULD HAVE ROPED OFF OUR BORDERS.)

3.    Just as in the 2013 “shut-down”, the Republicans were willing to pay for vital activities, and passed bills to this effect. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, they were refusing to fund the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AMNESTY POLICIES that the Occupier has chosen to UNCONSTITUTIONALLY pursue. It was the Democrats (and the Occupier threatening his almighty veto) who were refusing to allow this funding.

4.    The fact is, to paraphrase Hillary, with the Occupier’s track record for refusing both to enforce our laws and to project strength overseas, WHAT DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT DOES IT MAKE whether we funded DHS or not? National Security is NOT at the top of The Occupier’s list – EVEN THOUGH IT IS HIS REAL JOB, HE WILL REFUSE TO DO IT, ANYWAY.

5.    Why does no one ask: “IF IT IS SO VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY TO FUND THE DHS, WHY WERE THE DEMOCRATS WILLING TO HOLD OUR SECURITY HOSTAGE IN ORDER TO ISSUE THE RIGHT TO WORK AND BENEFITS TO MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS?”

Whose country (and GOVERNMENT) is this, anyway?

Since the ( r)’s sold us down the river, I’ve heard several commentator’s say this just wasn’t the right way to do it. I don’t agree – we have close to two years left before the Occupier’s term is up, and he is determined to continue violating the Constitution and his oaths until someone finally gets a spine and does something that REALLY STOPS HIM. The courts by and large cannot be relied on to adhere to the Constitution themselves, and the Occupier has shown that he will ignore them, anyway. The Congress has surrendered the power of the purse. Why? Do they really want their only option to be IMPEACHMENT? Mind you, there are already plenty of Constitutional violations to bring him up on (and will be many more before it’s over, I’m sure), but who thinks they would have the spine to do it? Or enough ( D)’s willing to put COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY?

We are most likely stuck with this Occupier until January, 2017. Let’s start working toward replacing the Senate and House ( r)’s and (D)’s with more ( R)’s, because there’s going to be a lot of work to do in undoing all the damage the Occupier has done, and we need people in there who are actually willing to do the jobs that ( r)’s and ( D)’s just aren’t willing to do.

Just saying…
