“God created human government. It is, therefore, inconceivable that God would create government and then tell His people to stay out of it.” ~ Pastor Adrian Rogers

“GOP Cowards
Jeff Crouere | November 23, 2014
As time goes on, President Obama is becoming much more provocative with the GOP. For example, he met with congressional Democrats, but no Republicans, then announced his long awaited plan for executive amnesty, giving 5 million illegal immigrants a pathway to work permits and relief from possible deportation for 3 years. After getting shellacked in the mid-terms, Obama has not compromised with Republicans, he moved further to the political left (He is acting lawlessly!—my addition).
It was an audacious announcement that was both unconstitutional and confrontational (Yes, it was!—my addition) . It circumvented Congress, and their vital role in this issue, and was, thus, radically different from the last time amnesty was given to illegal immigrants. In 1986, President Reagan did not issue an executive order on illegal immigration; he signed a bill passed by Congress (Slight difference! Of course, the Democrats know that! If there is one thing we all should understand it is this: The Democrats are LIARS! One other thing! The border when Reagan was President was suppose to be secured by Congress by law! It never was! Congress did not allocate the money necessary for it! NEVER again should amnesty be granted to those here illegally! NEVER! It is NOT fair to those who follow the rules and come here legally! The Democrats love to preach fairness. They just do not like to practice fairness!—my addition).
Sadly, this President does not care what Congress thinks or does (Why should he? Congress does nothing about it! He respects neither Congress nor the Constitution!—my addition). He has no interest in meeting or working with them. Whether he is acting like a tyrant or an emperor, it is clear that he is not acting in conjunction with Congress (He is lawless! Congress does nothing to stop him!—my addition).
Now, the $64 billion question is what should the GOP leadership in Congress do? They have several options, such as impeachment (All for it!—my addition), lawsuits (Not a constitutional option!—my addition) or defunding all of the activities associated with this executive action (All for it!—my addition). The least attractive option is to do nothing, but that is what happened today when the congressional Republicans boarded planes and left town (It seems to be the establishment leadership way!—my addition).
In the face of a ‘constitutional crisis’ and a lawless President with his unprecedented executive action (Take away the quotation marks! We are in a Constitutional crisis! This is the most dangerous time internally for the United States since right before the Civil War!—my addition), the GOP acted like cowards. While House Speaker John Boehner said the House ‘will act (When! By doing what?—my addition)’ and that Barack Obama is ‘damaging the presidency (The President does not care!—my addition),” he offered no specific response. This is pitiful since Boehner and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have known that Obama was going to make this announcement after the mid-term election (Known it for quite some time! Could it be that they did not expect the huge win?—my addition).
Instead of fighting, Boehner, McConnell and other key Republicans fled the scene in a cowardly way. Of course, Republican leaders are afraid of their big business benefactors who love cheap labor and who applauded the President’s action. Also, they are afraid of being called nasty names by Democrat leaders, the President, Hispanic activists and the liberal media.
They only group the GOP leadership is not afraid of fighting are the grassroots conservatives in their own party (Who gave them the victory! And I for one am tired of it!—my addition). They fight these good patriotic Americans tooth and nail, but play lap dog to the President and his liberal supporters (Strange isn’t it!—my addition).
Conservatives who are looking for a champion will not be able to find one in McConnell or Boehner or the establishment candidates running for President, such as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, or heaven forbid, Mitt Romney.
Necessary courage may be found among the more conservative presidential candidates like U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) [I am supporting Senator Ted Cruz!—my addition] or Dr. Ben Carson (I am not supporting Dr. Carson! He has no record!—my addition). However, if the Republican Party does not start positively responding to grassroots conservatives, these key activists may bolt the GOP (I will if they do not start fighting! That is one of many reasons I am supporting Senator Cruz! He is fighting! He is offering solutions! And the Democrats fear him!—my addition).
Conservatives flooded the polls in the mid-term election to restore Republicans to leadership positions in the U.S. Senate and retain control of the House, but to what avail? If the GOP in Congress will not stand up to Obama, what good is having the leadership positions(Not much!—my addition)?
Since the mid-term election, the President has moved to the left by signing a climate change agreement limiting our carbon emissions (True!—my addition), appointing a very liberal Attorney General (May never take office!—my addition), and offering a bold plan to increase government oversight of the Internet (More than increase! Turn it into a government controlled monopoly! horrendous plan!—my addition). All of these initiatives are threats to this country and they need to be met with a confident and clear response. Republican leaders should explore all political and legal remedies.
Within three months, the dangerous components of the President’s immigration plan will become operational. The clock is ticking on a response. Will Republican leaders finally show some courage (Only if we force them to show courage!—my addition)?”
The telltale sign when Congress comes back from the Thanksgiving recess is what the Republicans do with the needed Continuing Resolution! If the Continuing Resolution is a short term one of no more than two months, there is still a fight in Congress! If it is a long term resolution even though we will be taking control of Congress early in January, you will know that the establishment leadership has capitulated and it is going to take us working night and day to take back the nation!
By not acting decisively, the future being destroyed is not mine but the younger generations’ both now and in the future! I intend to fight!
