BETRAYED AGAIN BY THOSE WHOM WE TRUSTED…


Ya know, I can’t help but feel like I have once again been stabbed in the back by the very ones who were, only a few months ago, asking me, no, begging me, to trust them, to put the fate of my country in their hands.  And I f*cked up, I trusted them.  I believed most too much of what I was told before the last election, that if we would just make sure that the Republicans won control then they would work their hardest to stop Barry, and yet.  In case any of you may not have heard, to was just today that the Republican-led House once again raised the white flag and handed Barry yet another major victory by choosing to back legislation to fund the Homeland Security Department through the end of the budget year, without restrictions on immigration.  Now granted, our limp-wristed leader in the Senate could have helped, but didn’t!

Speaker Boner outlined what he saw as being the dwindling options for his deeply divided GOP caucus just this morning after the Senate left the House with very few options.  Boner pointed out that the issue is now in the hands of the courts.  And it was according to aides that we heard how Boner told his caucus, "I am as outraged and frustrated as you at the lawless and unconstitutional actions of this president."  He then went on to say, "I believe this decision — considering where we are — is the right one for this team, and the right one for this country."  Conservatives had demanded that the funding bill roll back Barry's immigration directives from last fall. Democrats had insisted on legislation to fund the department, which shares responsibility for anti-terrorism operations, without any conditions.

The GOP leadership's decision to cave angered more than a few conservatives. Steve King of Iowa said, "This is the signal of capitulation!"  He added, "The mood of this thing is such that to bring it back from the abyss is very difficult."  But more pragmatic, ‘establishment’, Republicans, or those whom we generally refer to as being RINOs, seemed to welcome Boner's move.  One of the leading voices in that crowd was well-known RINO Peter King of New York.  It was he who said, "Sanity is prevailing. I do give John Boehner credit."  Let’s face it, Boner, as well as McConnell in Senate, are nothing more than a pair of gutless wonders who are far too cowardly to play the game the way the Democrats play it.  And until they do that, we will only continue to lose more ground in our effort to save the country.

So it was then that Congress will now be sending to Barry’s desk a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of the budget year, without overturning so much as one of his illegal immigration policies. The House earlier today voted 257-167 for the measure that Barry is expected to sign. Without action, funding for the department would have expired Friday at midnight.  It goes without saying that the outcome was a tremendous victory for Barry and Democrats, and another defeat for the GOP.  Republicans were unable to overcome united opposition from Senate Democrats to their strategy.  I’m afraid these day I’m getting nearly to the point where I’m ready to become a Democrat, if no other than to just once experience what it feels like to win.  I’m tired of losing.

Much has been talked about how it was that Prime Minister Netanyahu gave speech to a joint session of Congress today, and how it was than more than a few Democrats chose not to attend.  And while I have no desire to lessen the importance of the speech or the arrogance of the Democrats, we must also make sure to take note that today we became just that much less of a Constitutional Republic.  We who genuinely love our country have yet one more time been abandoned by those who profess to be our leaders.  They once again chose to take the coward’s way out, instead of standing up to he who hates this country and all that it stands for, while being backed up by a political party which is well-known for being instrument in some of the darkest periods in this nation’s history.  I would seem today that we have no way to counter it.
