GOP: The Party of NO”

or , “What difference-at this point-does it make?”

I am at a loss to understand what makes Republicans in the Congress tick.  Why are they still playing catch-up in the Democrat’s game of deception?   What is the point?

After five years of experiencing Obama’s Chicago street-thug tactics as practiced and promulgated by the likes of Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and the assorted Socialists, Marxists, Communists, Islamists and other reprobates in this president’s legion of corrupt lackeys, why are Congressional R’s still trying to appease, accommodate, suck-up and  cave-in to the bribery & intimidation of the Democrat Despicables?  That’s a long question, maybe it deserves to be read, again.  

Given the tactics, motivations and shenanigans of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and upChuck Schumer, how can any self-respecting Republican in the Congress say anything but “NO”, to whatever devious proposals these fools come up with?

Doesn’t the Republican leadership know the power they can wield with the word, “NO”?  Have they forgotten that the House holds the purse-strings; that they have the power to withhold funding for Obama’s lunatic policies?  Does House Speaker John Boener not have the balls to do what Harry Reid does in the Senate – that is simply, not to bring certain bills to the floor?  Two wrongs don’t make a right but, these are the power tools available to leadership.  And, they must be used judiciously, in order to keep this nation from sinking into the abyss toward which the Democrats are intentionally driving it.    

Do House and Senate Republicans have such little respect for the intelligence of the people who voted to send them to Washington as their representatives, that they abandon their basic Conservative principles when it comes time to cast their own votes in the Legislature?   Or, do they drink the seductive water from the Potomac that guarantees them immortality – and the establishment of permanent roots in the District of Corruption – until death do they part?

Well, since I’ve gone this far to irritate both the Obama-nistas and the woosie Congressional Republicans, let me plop this cherry on top the cake -  “Tune-in to Rush Limbaugh” weekdays, Noon to 3PM.     There!  That oughta do it.

Obama’s M.O. (Modus Operandi)

Greetings  Democrats, Progressives, Leftist Liberals, Socialists, Communists, Marxists, Obama Aficionados, Clueless & Careless Voters, Haters of Republicans, those foolish  Founding Fathers and that outdated Constitution:

As a public service to you, this writer offers a brief tutorial to explain how the President you’ve just re-elected views his job and his M.O. – that is, his manner of working.

At the outset, it must be understood that Barack Hussein Obama abhors decision-making.  He much prefers to just ‘wing it’ and make platitude-filled speeches.  To that end, he has over the entire course of his public life, refined his skills at avoiding unpleasant decisions and avoiding the consequences of not making decisions.

Here is a partial list of his avoidance techniques-of-choice:

1   1. Kicking the can down the road so that the clock will run out and no blame can be attached to him.  Some issues might require repeated kicking.

2   2.   Leave town – any excuse will do . . . fund-raising, vacation, fund-raising

3   3.    Tell lies & whoppers and send surrogates out to tell lies & whoppers

4   4.    Blame Republicans in the Congress for being obstructionists

5   5.    Point the finger of blame at the nearest scapegoat, anyone will do

6   6.    Makes speeches railing against the unfair success of the accomplished

7   7.    Threaten new taxes and mandate more Government control over individuals

8   8.    Play the Race Card; always a guaranteed avoidance technique

9   9.    Employ class welfare, pitting poor against rich, illegal against legal, etc.

1   10. If all else fails, pull out ‘old reliable’ – blame George W. Bush

There are of course, many more such avoidance tools in Obama’s bag of tricks however, I did promise to be brief.  Certainly, you must have gotten the picture by now so, if you are awaiting  a decision regarding the multitude of unresolved issues that reach the Oval Office – i.e., breaches to our national security; erratic foreign policies; the wretched economy; the horrendous national debt; the out-of-control spending; the tyrannical taxing; the hidden time-bombs in ObamaCAIR – to name a few. . . I’m afraid you’ll just have to keep on waiting.   The sandy beaches of Hawaii get first priority for this President you decided to re-elect.   

It was a difficult decision for Obama but, he finally made it - - and he’s sticking to it.

Threat Alerts in Europe - 2012

Some Humor for thr day:

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Hide" to "Run." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.
