Republicans Have the Tools to Deal with Sanctuary Cities

Politicians by nature are cowards. They’re like water: fluid in rhetoric and follow the least path of resistance. How nice for them to have established a European system in which bureaucrats have supplanted the legislative branch by process of an administrative state. Congress has reinvented themselves as overseers of the Great Washington D.C. Plantation. Isn’t that special? Tell me, where is that in the U.S. Constitution?


One only has to look at this illegal alien problem to see how dysfunctional Congress has become. Liberals love to declare our immigration system is broken. NO! It’s Congress that’s broken. There are ways to deal with sanctuary cities, activist judges and elected officials who aid and abet this third-world invasion. What we need is strong leadership from the Republican party and I’m not talking about President Trump. He’s shown remarkable courage in the face of this unrelenting liberal sh**storm. I’m talking about the sniveling cowards in the Senate and the House of Representatives.


When Republicans controlled both houses of Congress they could’ve invoked the 14th Amendment and declared sanctuary cities in a state of rebellion. This action would’ve disenfranchisement local officials and reduced that states representation in Congress and the Electoral College. However, I doubt they realize they even have that power.


You ask, what about liberal judges? Surely, these plaintiffs would win in the courts. Well, the dirty, little secret is that Congress has the power to limit judicial review. They’ve had it all along, but refuse to exercise their constitutional prerogatives. Article III, Section II specifically gives Congress the authority to regulate the Court’s jurisdiction. For those who doubt Congress has this power, I’ll refer to the Aldrich Amendment in the Hepburn Act of 1906:


The fight in the Senate was not yet over. In order to obtain sufficient votes for passage of the bill, Roosevelt (a Republican) for five weeks secretly had backed an amendment proposed by Democratic Senators Joseph Weldon Bailey Sr.(Mississippi) and Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Jr. (South Carolina) that would limit judicial review of ICC orders on unreasonable rates to questions involving the ICC’s authority and the constitutional rights of the railroads. On May 4th, however, when it was apparent that the Tillman-Bailey Amendment did not have the necessary votes, Roosevelt, without notice to Bailey and Tillman and much to their consternation, announced at a hastily called press conference that the President supported a “broad” judicial review amendment proposed by Republican Senator William Boyd Allison (Iowa); this amendment had no limits on the scope of such judicial review, leaving it to the courts to decide the scope of review.


Congress didn’t debate about their authority to limit judicial review. Quite, the contrary, it was the opposite. They debated the extent to which the courts were allowed to interpret the law.


You ask, what about a divided Congress? There isn’t much we can do about the Senate and it's current leadership, but we most definitely can raise hell in the House once we take it back and we can use the Constitution to back it up.


Article One, Section One specifically allows each house to make its own rules and Section 5 gives the authority for each house to qualify and seat its members. During Reconstruction, The House of Representatives refused to seat incoming members from the South who participated in the rebellion. Therefore, there is a precedent and federal judges don’t have a say. But this would require strong Republican leadership and as we all know, that is seriously lacking.

We do have options to deal with liberals in and outside of the Beltway. What we need is the backbone to use it.

Republicans Ignore Ghosts of Elections Past

It never ceases to amaze me how Beltway Republicans continuously delude themselves. Here we are looking at a possible blue wave and these yahoos can’t comprehend the reasons why. The ghosts of 2006 are wailing and moaning and shaking their chains hoping to attract the attention of these unprincipled waifs. Even Scrooge had a clue after the third visitation. Does the GOP really need a second?


If Republicans lose the House, the blame rightfully falls on leadership. Conservatives need to disabuse themselves of the notion that the rank and file are responsible for the failings of Speaker Ryan and his coterie of establishment hirelings.That $1.3 trillion omnibus package was thrust upon Congress without notice or even a debate.


So, the first ghost of elections past had to do with unprincipled spending. What about the second? Well, that spook has to do with illegal immigration. Again, Republicans refuse to fund a border wall, or show any leadership when it comes to cracking down on cities and politicians who aid and abet illegal aliens. Instead, they insist on “comprehensive immigration reform” which translates into amnesty. How many politicians have died on that hill? Apparently, not enough.



And finally the third and fatal ghost of elections past are Democrats acting like conservatives. How many times are we going to allow this Trojan horse into the House chamber? We’ve already witnessed this in a number of special elections already. Can anyone say Alabama and Pennsylvania? How can Republicans allow these shapeshifters to gain a toehold in red districts? Could it possibly be that leadership is afraid that they might expose these candidates as nothing more than tools of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer? Wait a minute, wouldn’t that expose Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McConnell?  It all starts to make sense now.

Republicans and Democrats Collude to Pass $1.3 Trillion Monstrosity

There’s plenty of collusion going on in Washington D.C. and there isn’t a Russian in sight. Both parties - Republican and Democrat - have conspired to impoverish this country by passing a monstrous $1.3 trillion spending bill that funds the government through September.


Are we not seeing a pattern here? It seems to me Congress always passes an omnibus bill around this time of year that takes us up to the elections. Republicans, in order to justify this crap, campaign on a lack of membership which they need to stop the spendthrifts in the Democratic Party. Then they pass a continuing resolution that takes us up to the holidays. Then, while the citizenry is making merry, they pass another continuing resolution right before Christmas that gets us through the winter, and here we are again with another omnibus bill. What a bunch of scoundrels.


As I was working to put food on my table, a roof over my head and payoff the federal mafia, I listened to various radio personalities contemplate the Republican Party’s atrocious behavior. The local talent hypothesized that the leadership would rather be a minority than govern. Rush Limbaugh, who always has a unique perspective, claimed that establishment Republicans passed this monstrosity as a means to alienate President Trump from his loyal supporters. I happen to think both perspectives are correct.


Whatever the subterfuge, conservatives need to hold candidates accountable by demanding to know who they support for Speaker of the House and majority leader in the Senate. I don’t want to hear any more excuses from these people. We know leadership sets the agenda, however, it’s the rank and file who vote them in.

North Carolinians Receive Bonuses and Pay Raises

The Republican Party’s tax reform has made its way to North Carolina.  “Evil corporations” are handing out bonuses and pay raises.  Here is an excerpt from an op-ed from Senators’ Burr and Tillis:

Less than two weeks after taking effect, Americans are already starting to see the benefits. One company has already cancelled plans to move its headquarters overseas, due to tax reform. Many North Carolinians are starting to feel the benefit, too. Charlotte Pipe and Foundry has announced its 1,400 employees will receive a $1,000 bonus, and American Airlines is awarding $130 million in bonuses to all non-officer employees, 11,000 of whom are based in North Carolina.

 

Bank of America, headquartered in Charlotte, is giving 145,000 employees a $1,000 bonus. BB&T, headquartered in Winston-Salem, has announced it is raising its minimum wage to $15, and awarding $1,200 bonuses to many of its 27,000 employees. And Old Dominion Freight Line, headquartered in Thomasville, announced bonuses to all 22,000 employees. This is real money going into the bank accounts of real people.

According to multi-millionaires like Nancy Pelosi these are crumbs.  Well at least these crumbs aren’t going into Washington D.C.’s black hole.

Republican Party Has a History of Internecine Warfare

The American people have come to the conclusion both political parties are D.C. centric.  Democrats have made it clear they’re for big, centralized government and their voters are okay with that. If anything, these Marxists are  angry this country hasn’t obtained a Venezuelan-esque paradise.

However, conservatives have had a rude awakening.  The Tea Party movement exposed the GOP for what it is, and it has nothing to do with limited government or the U.S. Constitution.  The Republican establishment thought they could exploit our movement; instead we exposed them.  Now we have internecine warfare where both factions are fighting for the soul of the party.

History has a way of putting things into perspective.  I’m currently reading Undaunted Radical: The Selected Writings and Speeches of Albion Tourgee. What an eye opener.  This book is a treasure trove for those seeking information on Reconstruction and its failures from the perspective of a Radical Republican.

Tourgee and his fellow travelers were exasperated by the failures of the Republican Party when it came to securing the rights and safety of freedmen and loyalists in the South.  Here is an excerpt from A Bystander’s Notes: The Afro-American League (1889):

The claim the Republican Party is all the organization the negro requires comes with very bad grace from the organs of a party which has shown itself thus far quite unable to deal  with the questions touching his rights as a man and a citizen - a party with the record of the inconsistency of 1876 upon its shoulders - an inconsistency so glaring that is seems impossible that any Northern Republican of average sensibility could ever ask a colored man to rely upon that party to remedy the evils which attach to his condition, at least until that crime against good faith and common sense has been retrieved.

The simple fact is the Republican Party is just like any other party.  It seeks success and, within limits, it advocates and does whatever its leaders and manipulators believe will secure success and avoids what they believe endanger the result.  This is the very highest merit of the party system, which progress yet devised for a self-governing people.  Strong, resolute, intense men, looking over the field of public sentiment, adjudge thus idea or that to be uppermost in the popular mind, and so order an advance along this or that portion of the line of policy the party occupies, and expect the rest without abandoning their position to remain comparatively quiet in any particular struggle.  It is for this reason that the Republican Party, after twenty-five years of aggressive movement along the line of individual right, thrust again to the front of the old Whig principle of protection and fought its battle almost solely on that issue.  It was not because it had not abandoned the principle of equal right and privilege, but because the leaders believed that success was more probable if the attack was made on another part of the line.  Many of its leaders, both during the campaign and since that time, have favored relegating the question of the rights of the colored man to the background.  They have “had enough of the nigger,” they say.

        

Dare I ask,  has today’s Republican establishment had enough of the Tea Party? I can most definitely say we’ve had enough of them.

The Republican Party's Three Ring "Oversight" Circus

It must be nice to be a congressman these days.  These slackers no longer legislate or pass budgets or hold anyone accountable for their actions.  They’ve created a nice little niche which they call “oversight.”  I may not be a constitutional scholar, but I’m quite sure “overseer” of federal bureaucracies is nowhere to be found.

Republicans have a regular three ring circus going on at Capitol Hill.  We see all sorts of escapades and stunts played on C-Span.  There were plenty of oohs and ahhhs during the Obama administration as one scoundrel after another danced before committee hearing after committee hearing while the carnival barkers beat their chest and declared their indignations.  To what avail?  

We all know these politicians are complacent, gutless wonders; but what is really disturbing is how Republican “leadership” was willing to bail on our nominee and embrace a Hillary Clinton presidency.  Here is an excerpt from BizPac Review:

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan advised Republicans to run away from candidate Donald Trump before the election in order to save themselves and hold a future-President Hillary Clinton accountable, Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas revealed in an exclusive video interview with The Daily Caller New Foundation.

 “Are you crazy? We haven’t held anyone accountable. You haven’t even let us hold the IRS commissioner accountable [for using government power to harm President Obama’s political adversaries],” an astonished Gohmert said to the speaker on a call.

 

Rep. Louie Gohmert is one of the few honest men in that hellhole town.

Republican "Donor Class" in Panic Mode

Americans should initiate a referendum to change the name of Washington D.C. to Libtardville.  Republicans may have control of Congress and the presidency but that doesn’t matter to a vocal minority.  Democrats have demonstrated they can derail a legislative agenda simply by making wild accusations and throwing ridiculous temper tantrums.  Elections don’t matter to the Deep State and liberal media.

Republicans need to grow a pair.  Has anybody heard from our congressional leaders?  Is Senator Mitch McConnell still breathing?  Does Speaker Ryan have laryngitis?  Maybe if they spoke up and defended President Trump their skittish “donor class” wouldn’t be in a panic.

The source, who described the GOP donor community as “shell-shocked” and more inclined to focus on the House and Senate right now, ultimately pointed to the reports of pressuring Comey. If true, it “meets a broad definition of obstruction of justice,” the donor said, adding that it’s likely that Democrats would “go forward, at some point,” with impeachment proceedings.

“That’s certainly going to bog down any legislative agenda,” the Republican added.

At a gathering of the Republican Governors Association at a Trump resort in the Miami area this week, donors were also anxious, consumed by the feeling that “it’s going to be impossible to get anything done,” said one Republican operative in attendance.

“They’re flipping out like everybody else, of course they are,” said the operative, going on to add, “People are in meltdown mode.”

These people are pathetic.

From Obamacare to RINOcare

The Republican Party couldn’t have a bigger mandate than repealing Obamacare.  Starting in 2010, Americans throughout the country kicked Democrats out of public office from the village dog catcher to President of the United States just to send a message that we’ve had enough.   And what do these spineless RINO’s do?  They give us Obamacare lite.

The Daily Wire outlined 5 problems with Speaker Ryan’s RINOcare:  

1)    Retains requirements that insurance covers people with pre-existing conditions

2)    Creates a backdoor mandate

3)    Creates individual healthcare subsidies

4)    Continues Medicaid expansion

5)    Subsidizes high-risk pools at the state level.

For some reason, everyone equates health insurance to actual health care.  Creating more mandates, subsidizing insurance companies and expanding government programs will not bring down actual cost.  If anything, these measures will exasperate an already bankrupt system.  My god!  Are these people incapable of learning from their mistakes? 

These Versailles D.C. courtesans have resigned themselves to another entitlement program.  Here is Charles Krauthammer on Fox News:

The simple fact is Republicans are gutless wonders with low-principles.  I have more respect for Democrats who don’t give a damn about anyone or anything but their agenda.  They shoved Obamacare down our throats and laughed in our faces.  They didn’t worry about their political careers like the actors who are currently in power.

The Republican Party's Augean Stables

Washington D.C. is completely corrupt and it’s obvious that town is incapable of reform.   The past seven years have demonstrated interparty collusion when it comes to funding the federal government.  Sure, Republicans and Democrats bicker about policy, but both keep feeding the pig lest special interests, progressives, lobbyists and the mainstream media squeal from a dried up teat.

Everyone knows progressives lie, cheat and steal, however; we expect better from Republicans.  That’s why the past seven years have been a revelation.  It’s all about the club and the Star Chamber determines who has membership.  That’s why so many in the establishment refuse to back anyone who didn’t matriculate in the GOP fraternity.  That’s why many refuse to back Donald Trump.

Rep. Charlie Dent is a perfect example of a GOP operative who would rather have Hillary Clinton in the White House instead of an outsider like Donald Trump.  Here is his reasoning:

CHARLIE DENT (R-PA): Eric, you mention the Supreme Court. Look, I want to make sure that we put somebody in there that embraces our values on the Supreme Court, too. But then why would the nominee be picking a fight with John McCain and Kelly Ayotte? 

ERIC BOLLING (HOST): You play around these satellite things like he's picking a fight. How about immigration at the Supreme Court level? How about gun control at the Supreme Court level? How about minimum wage at the Supreme Court level? These are things I worry about, my 17- or 18-year-old son has to worry about and deal with for his lifetime, not whether or not Donald Trump fights with McCain. 

DENT: Eric, we need to maintain the Senate. Fighting with John McCain and Kelly Ayotte, two senators who are in very difficult reelections, criticizing them does not advance our interest in trying to maintain Supreme Court. If Chuck Schumer is in charge of the Senate, it’s going to be very difficult for President Trump, for example -- 

BOLLING: So not voting for Donald Trump will help you win the Senate, how? 

DENT: My priority in this election is to maintain the Senate and to maintain the House. Like I said -- 

BOLLING: So saying you’re going to sit this election out is a way that you'll maintain the Senate or the House? Congressman, it's backward logic. It's the reason the American public is so tired of business as usual in D.C.

Rep. Charlie Dent wants to maintain the Senate and the House?   To what purpose?  Did Republicans stop any of Obama’s executive orders and bureaucratic regulations?  Did they defund any unconstitutional programs that were forced down our throats?  Better yet, will they stop any of Hillary Clinton’s radical nominees for the Supreme Court?  The answer is no!

This election cycle is proof positive that it will be a herculean task to clean out the GOP’s Augean Stables.  Here is a video that demonstrates the power of incumbency and the near impossibility of unseating a D.C. politician.

March of the Beltway Courtesans

The long train of beltway courtesans waddling and squawking about Donald Trump confirms everything Americans thought about Washington D.C. insiders.  These scoundrels are content with the corruption and the centralization of power as long as they’re members of the cocktail party circuit.

I’m not a fan of Donald Trump by any means, but I sure as hell will not vote for the Clintons.  My God!  Their corruption is legendary.  How can any conscientious American sit by and let those two regain power is beyond me.

How many times have the rank and file been told to suck it up and vote for the likes of a John McCain, Mitt Romney or a Bob Dole?  I despise John McCain, yet I swallowed my pride and voted for Sarah Palin.  Why can’t they do the same thing?

The fact is these people are contemptuous of the Tea Party.  They don’t like plebeian uprisings and that is what Trump’s candidacy is all about.  Trump wasn’t recruited, groomed and brought up through the ranks by party insiders.  He bypassed their cliques and bosses.  And because of that, established cronies are worried they might not have access to power and the public treasury.

So-called conservatives like George Will have left the Republican Party because of Donald Trump.  That’s interesting.  I consider myself a conservative and have never joined the Republican Party because of people like George Will.

George Will is a sanctimonious ass who believes his particular brand of D.C. conservatism is “Madisonian.”  Compromise is how to get things done even if it’s unconstitutional.  That’s why Ronald Reagan didn’t cut the mustard with this beltway courtesan.  Here is an excerpt from Mr. Will’s 1974 Washington Post article on Reagan’s challenge to President Ford in 1976: 

But Reagan is 63 and looks it. His hair is still remarkably free of gray. But around the mouth and neck he looks like an old man. He’s never demonstrated substantial national appeal, his hard core support today consists primarily of the kamikaze conservatives who thought the 1964 Goldwater campaign was jolly fun.   And there’s a reason to doubt that Reagan is well suited to appeal to the electorate that just produced a Democratic landslide. If a Reagan third party would just lead the ‘Nixon was lynched’ crowd away from the Republican Party and into outer darkness where there is a wailing and gnashing of teeth, it might be at worst a mixed course for the Republican Party. It would cost the party some support, but it would make the party seem cleansed. 

Donald Trump is by no means a conservative, but at least he might cleanse the Republican Party of beltway courtesans who whore themselves to a town for a few pieces of silver and a weekly column in the Washington Post.

Rep. Robert Pittenger's Big Government Ride

A recent poll reflects the discontent conservatives have with their party.  Sixty percent of republican primary voters stated they felt betrayed by their representatives and leadership.  I can state most emphatically, I am one of them.  Recently, the House of Representatives passed a budget without debate.  They shoved it down our throats.  Worse, they funded Barack Obama’s policies and executive orders without putting up a fight.

I called my congressman’s office to vent my displeasure.  Here is how that conversation went, more or less.

Minion:  Congressman Pittenger’s office.

Me:  It’s my understanding Mr. Pittenger voted for this monstrous budget, yesterday.

Minion:  That’s correct.

Me:   Can you tell me when we can expect Mr. Pittenger to change his party affiliation?

Minion:  Would you rather have the government default on its obligations.

Me:  The federal government will not default on any of its obligations.  They just collected over $3 trillion in revenue.  What you’re saying isn’t true.

Minion:  Would you have us shutdown the government?  You need to know basic civics.  The budget has to pass the Senate.   Even if it passes the Senate, the president will veto it.

Me:  First of all, the federal government will not shutdown.  Second, the federal government is not the country.  We’ll do just fine without Washington D.C. breathing down our necks.

Minion:  So, you would furlough our customs and border agents.

Me:  The federal government has a constitutional obligation to protect our borders and its citizens.

Minion:  What about the hundreds of thousands of federal government employees?  What about their families?

Me:  What about them?  Maybe, they should find honest work and earn an honest day’s pay like everybody else.  These bureaucracies aren’t constitutionally required.

Minion:  Maybe, you should take some law classes.

Me:  Maybe, you should read the U.S Constitution.  There are only seven articles in it.

Needless to say, I will not vote for Robert Pittenger in the primary, or the general election.  I may even be tempted to vote for his democratic challenger.  Why not?  He’s funded the Democratic Party’s agenda since he’s been in office.  We might as well cut out the pretense.

Fox News' Megyn Kelly Caught Baiting Republican Candidates

During Thursday’s debate, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly excoriated Donald Trump on comments he allegedly made about women.  Viewers, such as myself, knew of only Rosie O’Donnell, and indeed, Donald Trump acknowledged his disparaging remarks, which by the way, were a give and take. 

Megyn Kelly stated there were many more victims of Donald’s sexist verbal attacks.  We are now finding out her allegations may have been embellished, if not, an outright fabrication.  BPR followed through on one accusation:

A former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant and Playboy Playmate who was the subject of the “on her knees” remark made by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is coming to his defense.

During the GOP presidential debate Thursday, Fox News host Megyn Kelly asked Trump to explain a comment he made during a segment of his reality show that it would be “a pretty picture to see her on her knees,” referring to Brande Roderick, a contestant.

In a telephone interview on MSNBC’s “Live with Thomas Roberts” on Friday, Roderick said she hadn’t even recalled the incident.

“Like him, I didn’t even remember him saying that,” Roderick said. “I’ve always had a positive experience around Donald. He’s always been encouraging. He’s never been disrespectful to me.”

She added that Trump’s remark wasn’t made out of desrespect, but rather was an attempt at humor.

This isn’t the first time Megyn Kelly baited a republican candidate.  Jeb Bush can attest to her penchant for presenting misleading questions.

Republicans Dissatisfied with Republican Party

Hold the presses!  Mainstream media has discovered republican voters are dissatisfied with the Republican Party!

Wait a minute.  They attribute this to the presidential campaign?  USA Today reported the following:

The already raucous Republican presidential campaign may be hurting the party’s brand.

Only 32% of respondents said they had a favorable opinion on the Republican Party in a new Pew Research Center poll published Thursday — the lowest number Pew has reported at any point since 1992, though there have been a couple of 33% ratings during that time. The party is viewed unfavorably by 60% of respondents, again the party’s worst score.

The results mark a steep drop for the party since the start of the year. In January, Pew found that 41% of poll respondents had a favorable view of the GOP, while 53% were unfavorable.

Oddly, the biggest drop in GOP favorability is among Republicans.

This has nothing to do with the republican primary.  Conservatives have been fed up for a long time.  Establishment republicans have been playing us for a bunch of suckers for years.  This poll is a reflection of dissatisfaction with the inertia and lies of a party that has embraced big government without having the balls to admit it.

The Magnanimous and Altruistic Sen. Chuck E. Schumer

When I think of a politician who stands up for the average citizen, I think of Senator Chuck E. Schumer.  Why, I can think of no other person who has demonstrated more concern for the disenfranchised than our champion from the state of New York.

The Tea Party can attest to the character of Sen. Chuck E. Schumer.  His outreach program will last through the ages.  Future historians will marvel at how he and his fellow democrats encouraged the IRS to keep an eye and a boot on this small group of concerned citizens.  Mr. Super Genius redefined a government handout.

Moss doesn’t gather on a rolling stone.  Our champion of the people has another mission.  He wants to save America by abolishing partisan primaries.  Wow!  What a guy.  First he gives free tips to his political opponents on how to win elections by granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.  Now he is willing to stick his own neck out, and that of his party, by ridding ourselves of petty partisanship.  How altruistic!  Are we sure, Sen. Chuck E. Schumer isn’t the second coming?  Has anyone seen him walk on water, or turn it into wine?

 Schumer the Magnanimous wants an open primary system.  Here is his scheme:

We need a national movement to adopt the “top-two” primary (also known as an open primary), in which all voters, regardless of party registration, can vote and the top two vote-getters, regardless of party, then enter a runoff. This would prevent a hard-right or hard-left candidate from gaining office with the support of just a sliver of the voters of the vastly diminished primary electorate; to finish in the top two, candidates from either party would have to reach out to the broad middle.

California, which probably mirrors the diversity of America more than any other state, was racked by polarization until voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2010 that adopted a “top-two” primary system. The move has had a moderating influence on both parties and a salutary effect on the political system and its ability to govern. Louisiana has used a similar system since the 1970s, and Washington State since 2008. Voters in Colorado and Oregon will consider proposals later this year.

California mirrors America?  That is an insult!  Notice the states he cites.  They are all liberal hellholes, except for Louisiana.  And that is a hellhole of a different sort.  As of now, California and Colorado have secession movements because the libtards have taken over.  And that is exactly what Sen. Chuck E. Schumer, Super Genius wants.

The extremist isn’t the Tea Party.  The extremist are people like Senator Schumer who want to “govern” us out of our liberties and American birth right.

The Democratic Party's Cuckoo Bird Immigration Policy

United States immigration policy is completely cuckoo, literally.  Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have vowed to fundamentally change this country, and it seems they’ve adopted the techniques of one of nature’s most deceitful creatures.

The cuckoo bird won’t build its own nest, or raise its own offspring.  They will plant their eggs into another’s.  Once the intruder hatches, it will push the host eggs out so as to receive full attention.  What an evolutionary technique.  Democrats should scrap the jackass as a mascot.  The cuckoo bird best represents the values of that party.

The egg, in this case, is Latin American children and the nest is the United States.  Thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens are being dispersed by Obama’s coyotes throughout the country.  These hatchlings will have to be housed, clothed, fed, and educated.

Unsuspecting communities will have to expend valuable resources in order to accommodate these intruders.   Many municipalities can’t meet the demands foisted upon them by deceitful politicians and bureaucrats.  It will be the children of U.S. citizens who will suffer because of this insidious policy. 

Eventually, democrats will demand family reunification, and that doesn’t mean repatriation.  Hence, the United States will be colonized by third-worlders.  That will not bode well for the Republican Party.  They will meet the fate of the dodo bird and the Democratic Party will “RULE” the country in perpetuity.

Mark Levin: 'We Need a New Republican Party"

Electoral College: How to Change Blue States to Red

Senator Chuck E. Schumer: Super Genius let the cat out of the bag.  He wants to rig elections as a means to deny tea party candidates a chair at the political table.  Of course, he and his subversives need States’ participation.  I doubt state and county wide Republican Party members would be foolish enough to entertain the machinations of a New York thug.  But, we should never underestimate the Washington D.C. GOP establishment.

The simple fact is, the Constitution allows the States to prescribe the time, manner and place of holding elections; however, Congress can pass laws or regulations altering them.  It would have to be a complete D.C. power grab.  And as we’ve witnessed, they’re capable of doing it.

There is a way republicans in a Blue State can constitutionally alter the means by which we elect a president.  States like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Florida have a republican governor and legislature.  They, instead of granting a winner- take- all Electoral College vote system, could divide electors up according to congressional districts.

Had all States used this strategy, Mitt Romney would have won 52% of the congressional districts.  Instead, Obama cleaned up.  Here are some maps depicting this contrast.

This is one dirty little secret Democrats don’t want anyone to know about.  However, electing a president still doesn’t address the runaway bureaucracies that rule this country.

Charlotte Observer Lectures Republicans on Their "Extreme" Views

What is that I smell?  Could it be desperation?  Is it panic?  Could it be the pontifications of a Charlotte Observer associate editor?

Peter St. Onge once again feels compelled to lecture Republicans and the Tea Partiers about their extreme views.  He believes we need to become more “mainstream” more “moderate.”  Basically, he wants us to become more like him and his progressive minions.  And if we don’t change our ways, Romney could lose the election. 

Today’s Republican leaders, though, gave into the worst among them. Frustration with big government may have launched the tea party in 2009, but the movement flung open the doors to all anger, even that which previously lived on the fringe. Offensiveness went mainstream, and instead of imagining the long-term consequences that might bring, Republicans leapt at the short-term energy. They joined the crowds demonizing Obama. They entertained questions about his birthplace. Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!”

So fearful are some Republicans of the far right that when a stage full of GOP candidates for president was famously asked last year if they’d increase taxes one dollar in exchange for $10 of spending cuts, not one dared raise a hand. Moderate Mitt Romney was among them, of course, and he’s since invited people to dinner with birther Donald Trump and told rich fundraisers what they wanted to hear about 47 percent of Americans. His lurch back to the center was bound to set eyes rolling.

If Romney loses this remarkably close election Tuesday, some Republicans will insist it was because he wasn’t conservative enough. But Romney already had the votes to the right. The ones he lost this election included moderates repulsed at the thought of aligning themselves with what his party has become. Maybe the best thing that can happen for them – for all of us – is for extremism to lose, and for hate not to be – as it never should – a winning strategy

I just want to thank Mr. St. Onge for his faux concerns.  As for hate not being a winning strategy, maybe he should address his leftist rag of a paper.   An example is the above cartoon which was published in the Charlotte Observer.  The only thing missing is the noose.
