Republicans Should Dump The Elephant and
Adopt A Rubber Stamp As Their Symbol
How do you think Republicans would have done in
the 2014 elections if they had told the truth about what they intended to do
when they took over the Senate? What if they had campaigned on working
hand-in-hand with Obama to enact his illegal alien amnesty while supporting his
budget priorities, confirming a new Attorney General who thinks everything
Obama is doing is fine and promised they would do nothing while he illegally
bans ammo, cripples the Internet, and lets the EPA run wild? Republicans are
even gearing up to SAVE OBAMACARE if the Supreme Court guts the subsidies.
Conservatives complain endlessly,
with good reason,that Barack Obama is acting like a dictator. What’s left
unsaid is that he’s only able to do it because Republicans in the House and
Senate are standing by impotently and allowing him to do whatever he wants.
Despite winning two huge victories in 2010 and 2014 by promising to fight
against Obama, the GOP has shown nothing but rank cowardice in every
confrontation with him. It’s hard to understand how men like John McCain, who
showed such great courage in war, can be so cowardly when they’re asked to
stand up for America against the Democrats. What kind of Republicans would
rather fight their own supporters and constituents than stand up to Barack
Obama?
In fact, we should consider
ourselves lucky that Obama hasn’t gone even farther, because who’s going to
stop him? The Republican Leadership in the House and Senate?
Please.
Barack Obama could declare that he
is going to tear down the Lincoln Memorial to make room for a giant statue of
himself and Republicans would end up funding it because they’re so petrified
the media would blame them for the shutdown that would ensue if they didn’t go
along to get along.
John Boehner, Kevin McCarthy, Steve
Scalise, and Cathy McMorris Rodgers are our leaders in the House and Mitch
McConnell, John Cornyn, John Thune and John Barrasso are our leaders in the
Senate. These are the sort of people C.S. Lewis spoke of when he wrote, "We
make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at
honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."
Conservatives all know that our
leaders in Congress are yellow; they can’t talk, can’t strategize, can’t tell
the truth or do anything else that most of us expect from men worthy to lead.
However, the “traitors” part of that quote is apt as well because they just
betrayed their constituents, conservatives, and the Republican Party to help
Obama implement his illegal, unconstitutional amnesty.
Back in late 2014, conservatives
were begging the GOP leadership to pass a short-term continuing resolution so
that the GOP would have more leverage after we controlled the House and the
Senate. They refused to do it, but conservative complaints about Obama’s
amnesty were so loud that the GOP Leadership couldn’t immediately capitulate
and were forced to do something. So, they declared that the DHS wouldn’t be
funded unless Obama buckled on amnesty and they gave their solemn oaths that
they’d fight tooth and nail once the GOP controlled the House and the Senate.
Then predictably, when Obama refused
to give in, the GOP Leadership barely put up a fight before they caved in and
gave him exactly what he wanted. Mitch McConnell worked with Harry Reid and
John Boehner worked with Nancy Pelosi to fund millions of work permits and tax
rebates for illegal aliens. They also effectively signed off on 5 million
illegal aliens getting Social Security cards and drivers’ licenses that they
could very possibly use to VOTE in our elections! The GOP Leadership called it
illegal, they called it unconstitutional, they claimed to oppose it – yet they
fought to fund it! If a judge in Texas hadn’t unexpectedly blocked DHS from
carrying out the amnesty, something that could end at any time, Obama would be
moving full speed ahead with the blessing of the Republican Leadership in
Congress.
Don’t just take my word for it on
how the GOP leadership sold you out; listen toTed Cruz.
“Since December, the outcome
has been baked in the cake. It was abundantly clear to anyone watching that
leadership in both houses intended to capitulate on the fight against amnesty,”
Cruz said, adding, “It was a strategy doomed to failure. It’s an old adage in
Washington: Never take a hostage you’re not prepared to shoot.”
“There was no chance, zero,
that Republicans were going to fail to fund the Department of Homeland Security
because Republicans care deeply about homeland security,” Cruz continued.
“If we had been serious about
this fight, and we should have been, the continuing resolution [under which DHS
funding expired in February 2015] should have focused on the EPA, or the IRS or
the Department of Labor,” Cruz said. “Now, those are departments which a
majority would be prepared to allow funding to temporarily expire in order to
use as leverage.”
Conservatives so opposed amnesty
that the GOP leadership couldn’t pass it themselves; so this was their attempt
to help Barack Obama implement it. It was a dishonorable, rank betrayal of
conservatives. All members of the GOP leadership along with every Republican
who voted for a clean DHS bill deserve to be publicly horsewhipped for what
they did. Read More Here
