Betrayal Anyone?

King DingleBarry is mulling tax increases by Imperial Decree (read: Executive Order).

The entirety of this administration shows its bountiful jackassery by skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before a joint session of Congress, calling that speech "dangerous" and "destructive." I guess Iran getting nuclear weapons is not "dangerous" or "destructive."

No less than fifty-five demoKKKrats skip the speech, with those that attended calling it "political theater" and other ridiculous things, never once touching upon the actual substance of the speech.

The Constant Campaigner has recently declared himself above anything Congress does, saying, in effect, that it doesn't matter if Congress - which, need I remind you, is a co-equal branch of government - votes to deny his Royal Edict (and massive overreach) on illegal immigration and its essential amnesty for people whose very first action in our nation is to break the law; he's going to do it anyway - displaying a complete disregard and utter contempt for this country and our history/traditions/culture.

Hillary Clinton, the presumptive demoKKKrat presidential nominee for 2016, is currently under fire as it's now known that the Clinton Foundation took donations from foreign governments - while she was Secretary of State, no less - with, shall we say, less than stellar human rights' records, particularly regarding WOMEN'S rights (which she proclaims to champion). Oh yeah, did I mention that we also learned today that she never used a government email account - which is REQUIRED BY LAW - while conducting official State Department business?

Aaannnddd to top today off, we find out that the Republicans bowed down, ONCE AGAIN, and passed a clean bill funding the Department of Homeland Security - which includes funding King DingleBarry's de facto amnesty executive order. Never mind that the Republicans control both houses of Congress and nothing should get through that isn't approved by said Republicans.

Anyone else feeling a tad..............BETRAYED? ~ Hunter

The Death Of The Old Republic

Thursday night, in a not unexpected, but still unprecedented and unbelievable move, the Petulant Pretender, the Boy Who Would Be King essentially granted amnesty to approximately 5,000,000 criminal trespassers. Yes, you read that correctly - FIVE MILLION. In effect, and a fit of pique over losing what is shaping up to be the most important election of our lifetimes (perhaps ever), he's unilaterally rewarding people whose very 1st act in this country was committing a felony (that's a crime, libbies).

Thursday night, we witnessed what could very well be the death knell, the final nail in the coffin, of the United States as a nation, and as a Republic. What King DingleBarry has done with this one decree is say that the most recent elections held no meaning for him, that his policies, which he pointed out were on the ballot, were not soundly repudiated.

Thursday night, we ceased having a president. A self-styled king now rules in his stead. This king, which we were never meant to have, has decided that because he couldn't get some type of immigration reform through Congress (not even when he had control of the entirety of Congress), he has the absolute authority to change whole swaths of immigration law, onn his own. If you really stop to think about it, given the multitude of changes he's made to 0bamadontcare - again, on his own - this latest and most blatant foray into lawlessness isn't all that surprising.

Thursday night, a banana republic was created where a representative republic once existed. No longer citizens governed by the rule of law, we are now subjects of the Clown Prince, ruled by his whims and fancies. King DingleBarry has decreed that he will do as he damn well pleases, regardless of the will of the people. And make no mistake about it - November 4th was all about the people making their will known.

Now that it's been announced, the question now becomes - what can be done to stop it? It can't really be defunded, as the true effect isn't an action so much as an enforced inaction. Some states have already launched lawsuits, and some members of Congress have intimated they will do the same. I pray the courts take it up and rule against the Prince of Pique,and not just in the Republicans or conservatives favor, but in favor of the Constitution, and the Separation of Powers enumerated therein.

Thursday night, we witnessed something unparalleled in the history of America - the complete abrogation, even abandonment, of the presidential Oath of Office. The oath to "support and defend" the Constitution and "faithfully execute the laws" is one that should never be taken lightly, whether a lowly civil servant, a member of the military, a member of Congress, or the President of the United States. I know some will say that it's nothing new, that Congress and presidents past have broken their oaths before - to which I say never to this degree.

This cannot and WILL not stand. I, for one, will never bow before this, or any other king. There will be a reckoning for this Pretender to the throne, this Petulant Powermonger. I sincerely hope and pray that it's during my lifetime, as I don't want my children and grandchildren to have to clean up any more of our mess than is absolutely necessary. ~ Hunter

A Short Lesson On Congress, Or Why The Senate Is So Screwed Up

Everyone knows what the House of Representatives is supposed to be - the voice of We the People. We select, through direct election, those people we think will most closely represent our social-economic-political beliefs to speak for us in our form of government. Hence the reason they've always been elected through direct election. The House was the only body in our federal government to have such elections, and here's the most important part - the only one MEANT to be directly elected.

The Senate, on the other hand, was meant to be the voice of their individual states, and only indirectly be a voice for the people.

The Founders, given their natural (and completely understandable) fear of a strong central government, wanted senators chosen by the state legislatures of the individual states. Their intent was to ensure that the federal government's power resided in the states. Hence the reason every state - from smallest to largest, least populated to most populated - have just two senators.

Until Woodrow Wilson, that is. That brilliant progressive, in his infinite wisdom, decided we'd be better served with directly electing our senators. Why? It's simple really - progressives, above all things, crave power. Not necessarily for themselves, but for the strong, overbearing, and centralized federal government that couldn't be had with senators that are beholden only to the states they represent. Progressives, liberals - call them what you will - all leftists believe that they know better what's best for you than you do - and what better way to enforce their vision of "best" than a government capable of intruding into every aspect of your life.

We are now forced to endure the likes of Harry Reid-iculous, John McCan't, Lindsey Graham, et al, because becoming a senator is more of a popularity contest than doing what's right for the state you serve.

Had the brilliance of the Founders been left as they intended, those senators (and many others throughout the years) wouldn't have lasted as long as they have, because the ones they damaged most - their state - would have removed them from office, and the rest of us wouldn't have gotten stuck with them. ~ Hunter

Congressional Obstructionism: It's Not Who The Main Stream Media Says It Is

While listening to the morning show on my local talk radio station (thank God for Chris Stigall), I heard a caller state that if King DingleBarry is going to be called an "obstructionist" for vetoing bills coming out of the next Congress it's a tacit admission of the obstructionist nature of the present Congress. Seriously, someone actually said that...

Let's review, shall we?

At last count, there are presently somewhere in the neighborhood of 270-plus bills, the overwhelming majority of which have bipartisan support (that means members of both parties support them, libbies) languishing in the black hole known as the desk of Harry Reid-diculous. That's in a Senate controlled by the democrats - which means, libbies, that the Republicans can do.........wait for it.........absolutely nothing to stop their passage and then hitting the Petulant Pretender's desk for his signature into law.

For the first two years of what will forever be known as "The Dark Times" (King DingleBarry's reign), the demoKKKrats controlled the whole of Congress, and the only major piece of legislation they could get thru was a law nobody wanted (that would be 0bamadontcare - follow along, libbies).

Sounds to me like he's been obstructed by his own party throughout his reign. Huh - Whoulda thunk?

The caller also went on to say that he's interested to see what the Republicans are going to do to help all Americans, not just the "top 2%."

Here's a hint - Republican policies, on the whole, help all Americans, with an eye towards helping all of us become the "top 2%."

I loathe liberals, everything they do, and all they represent (Just to clarify for the Lurking LiberTrolls, who I know will deliberately take that statement out of context - I loathe their big government approach to each and every problem). ~ Hunter

The Republican Mandate - And The Repudiation Of Liberalism

I keep hearing political pundits on TV, reading them online, from both sides of the aisle (although certainly many more from the left than right), who keep saying that even though the Republicans ran away with the midterms in historic fashion, they don't have a "mandate."

I'm sorry, but were they watching the same election results as the rest of the country? The rejection, repudiation, and outright dismissal of liberal policies could not have been made any more and absolutely crystal clear.

Republicans, for the first time in about twenty years, have firm ground under them. Their job now is to pull America up out of the ditch liberalism has driven her, and it can't be focused solely on stopping the Empty Suit's agenda, although that's undoubtedly a top priority.

They need to craft legislation that puts Americans back to work. Make America palatable to businesses again by ending unnecessary and burdensome regulations, purge the government from the marketplace as much as possible, as quickly as possible. Yesterday would be nice.

Corporate tax reform is another big issue. Billions upon billions of dollars are kept offshore by businesses to avoid double taxation - once from the host nation, then again by the U.S. Yeah... It's that crazy...

Build a damn fence along the southern border. Deport all illegals - period. Entering the U.S. illegally should forever disqualify you from working here, emigrating legally, or even visiting.

Reinstitute the Welfare to Work requirement and push for mandatory drug testing (that means it must be done, liberals) for welfare recipients. Tighten the restrictions on where and for what welfare money and food stamps can purchase and/or be used. Nobody should be able to buy a video game, or alcohol, or cigarettes, or marijuana.

Strengthen our military - again. There's more than enough wasteful spending in the defense budget that can be slashed, thus avoiding cutting personnel that want to be there. Above all else, TAKE CARE OF OUR VETERANS.

Reduce the size of the bureaucracies and their redundant programs. Root out the waste and fraud inherent in these bureaucracies. Make it easier to demote or fire public sector workers.

REPEAL OBAMADONTCARE.

I don't often disagree with Rush Limbaugh, but I don't believe we won this election so handily solely to stop King DingleBarry in his tracks. The American people don't want a "do nothing Congress." We want a Congress that does what's right for America. ~ Hunter

The Tolerance Of Liberalism, Or Proud To Be Called A Traitor

I received my very first threat on this blog a couple of days ago from a rabid liberal - and apparently professional - crayon-eater. "He" objected to my conservatism and my belief that criminal aliens should be deported as soon as possible.

http://liberalsarehypocrites.blogspot.com/2014/03/operation-wetback-or-how-us-dealt-with.html

It was really quite amusing, and not frightening in the least, but what made it all the more amusing was that this open-minded, oh-so-tolerant window-licker called me a traitor based on the meme at the top of this page, and when "it all goes down," he promised to "meet me on the battlefield" (after saying I would never see him).

I'd like to remind the Lurking LiberTrolls out there that the Founders intended for people to love their country, not their government. That's the reason the military, all members of all 3 branches of the government, and all federal employees swear an oath to the Constitution and not the government or the President.

"I, Michael J. Flanagan Jr., do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, pledging my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor. So help me God."

I took that oath on 27 JUL 1988. My oath, now 26 long years gone, has never expired. If believing in, following, and defending the most brilliant document ever written by man - the very foundation of this nation - makes me a "traitor," well............................that's a cross I'm willing to bear.

Oh, before I forget - if you decide to come after me, "sir," you better make sure you kill me with the 1st shot, because if you don't, you will not get a second chance at it. ~ Hunter

What's Wrong With America: Professional Perpetual Politicians

Part of the problems facing this nation, at least as I see it, lies in the fact that we now have a ruling class, something to which the majority of the Founding Fathers were vehemently opposed.


Benjamin Franklin, arguably the greatest mind ever to set foot on this earth, believed that a person elected into office should be a "common man," motivated solely by helping out his fellow citizens as best he could, then stepping down and making way for the next common man. He also believed that public servants shouldn't receive a salary, as the office should attract people "...wise and moderate... the men fittest for the trust..." The idea of a "career politician" was anathema to the Founders.


Thomas Jefferson, the second greatest mind of his time (behind only the aforementioned Franklin), said, "(a) government of representatives elected by the people at short periods was our object." Writing about a proposed Constitution for Virginia, Jefferson favored a single long term for senators, thus preventing senators from conducting their office to further their own careers, with the added benefit of focusing a senator's perspective on those whom they represented. Holding public office was to be a public service, not a means of lining one's own pockets.


George Washington, our first president, eschewed his $25,000 yearly salary and voluntarily left office after two terms to make way for others who wished to serve their fellow man. Try finding a politician who would make this same sacrifice today. Washington gave us the example to follow, like he had for so much of his life, in that the duty to serve was never supposed to mean a longevity in office. Until Franklin Delano Roosevelt, no other president served more than two terms.


The intent of the Founders was to limit time spent in public office. If it isn't, it leads one  to become besotted with his or her own power, the belief in one's infallibility, and the notion that you, and you alone, can solve the problems you were elected to fix in the first place (yet done next to nothing to actually repair). A case in point - FDR. His "New Deal" prolonged the Great Depression by several years, if not decades, while raising federal taxes threefold over just seven years (1933 to 1940). In combination with several other policies, hundreds of thousands of jobs were lost, not to mention the jobs that were never created due to a lack of capital overall.


Today, we have politicians who spend lifetimes in public office. That's true on both sides of the aisle. I'm sure most, if not all of them started their political lives with a sincere desire to do good things for their constituents, but like all things that grant power over others, they became addicted to that power. They're focused more on how to stay in power rather than focusing on how to exercise that power to benefit the nation. It's time to put an end to it.


I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pretty sure the Founders of this great nation would have already ended it, given that it was leaders they wanted, not rulers. ~ Hunter
