					<description><![CDATA[/ Here&#039;s what I saw recently on the web. Like it? /

          Obama: Our 3-in-1 Deity !

     Obama&#039;s Desk, Obama&#039;s Chairs, Obama&#039;s Bench.
     This is what Obama seems to see instead of &quot;the executive, legislative, and judicial branches&quot; of our American government.
     As one who promised change, furniture arranger Obama can subtly fit all those chairs and that bench into the Oval Office while few seem to notice or care!
     America is the Tree of Liberty - the Tree that promises liberty and justice for all.
     But America also provides for the pruning of any and all tyrants that are attached to the same Tree!

					<description><![CDATA[Though I doubt anyone will read this, I have to come back to this thread to follow up on a my earlier comment that the republicans want immigration reform because they are a wholly owned subsidiary of large crony capitalist corporations who want a ready pool of labor that is willing to work for less than Americans will settle for.

There have been several articles in the last few days discussing &lt;a href=&quot;http://dailycaller.com/2014/12/04/top-gop-leader-promises-total-amnesty-in-2015/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;.  

To wit, &lt;i&gt;&quot;But the GOP’s business wing remains dominant, partly because it is backed by media progressives who also favor large-scale immigration. The business-backed GOP leaders want a steady supply of non-voting, low-wage migrants, either illegals or temporary guest-workers. That strategy has proven economically successful – company profits have risen as median U.S. wages have remained flat since 2000.  Democratic legislators are eager to aid the migration of poor Latinos into the United States’ job market, but they want the migrants to become citizens so they can strengthen Democratic political machines.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

This has been going on for some time and the entire fault cannot be laid at Obama&#039;s feet (as much as I wish it could be).
&lt;i&gt;&quot;In the mid-2000s, for example, President George W. Bush pushed Congress to create a free-market of labor in North America, which would have allowed U.S. employers to freely hire an unlimited number of Mexicans instead of higher-wage Americans for any jobs in the United States.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Both the democrats and the republicans are working together on this, which is the &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; true bi-partisan effort in Congress.
The present political class has been entirely corrupted.  If they are not trans-national socialists, they are bought and sold pawns of crony capitalist big business who would like nothing better for their corporate bottom line than a ready supply of serfs to work their plantations.  Technology marches on, but nothing has really changed.  Let&#039;s not forget comments like those uttered by G.E.&#039;s CEO Jeff &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/immelt-communist-china-works_665280.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Immelt&lt;/a&gt; who said, &lt;i&gt;&quot;...state run communism may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;
Once again, the American public has been sold a bill of goods.

Obama and Congress are about to allow more immigrants into the country than jobs have been created since 2009. On top of that, these immigrants are to receive social security benefits as well as other state dispensed largesse. We already have an 18 trillion dollar debt. How are we supposed to pay for it?

I am becoming increasingly doubtful that the American public is willing to do much more than vote about it, and then simply grouse and forget it when their elected representatives proceed to break every promise they have made. Many have become too fat, lazy and weak to not only do the actual work, but anything other than complain about it.

Perhaps Gruber was correct after all?  Again, I hope I am wrong and things play out differently, but I am increasingly fearful that my analysis of the situation is more or less correct and real change will have to be affected like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.flickr.com/photos/leonandloisphotos/3172870234/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;.  Nobody willingly gives up prestige, wealth, and power.  Nobody. One thing I am fairly certain about is that it will get worse before it gets better, and getting better is not guaranteed.]]></description>

Until the main money backers of the republicans either do not want this, or there is a revolt within the party, I fear nothing will change.

I remain very cautiously optimistic. We will see very shortly what the new Congress intends to do. 
 
I hope they will act as if they had spines and what concerned them was the welfare of the nation, instead of where their next campaign contribution was coming from, but I am doubtful.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[JJ and Otiose et al,

I wrote the following prior to Tim P&#039;s comment:

&quot;Refusal to do so speaks to cowardice. Cowardice wildly breeds disgust, disdain, cynicism, and apathy towards the governmental system.&quot;

Tim P then writes the following validating what I wrote:

&quot;And though I held out hope for this past election, and the incoming congress, they are now preparing the ground for breaking their promises even before they have assumed office.

I am reminded of Emma Goldman’s quote, “If voting really made any difference, they would make it illegal.”

The GOP wants to make a difference?  Remove the lawless tyrant Obola from office.  PERIOD.

Bring a neutered Biden in for one year as POTUS.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[JJ,

I understand your argument, as well as Otiose&#039;s.  I really do.  And I also think you understand mine.  So we are working from mutual understanding.

Here&#039;s what I say in rebuttal.

#1.  Obama will be happy to continuously veto.

#2.  The MSM will cover for him on those vetos.  

Obola and the MSM will drip, drip, piss on the RINOs.  And as he and the MSM does so, the disgusted, disdainful, untrusting, lost-all-faith-in-the-government conservatives will also join in the drip, drip piss on the moderate RINOs.

Use the tool of impeachment.  Let the progs use their MSM tool.  If the stupid LIV can&#039;t wake up to Obola&#039;s lawlessness, they certainly won&#039;t wake up to his vetoing of GOP bills.  Don&#039;t be cowardly about the MSM.   They are in decline and alternative media is ascending.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Truth Unites... and Divides Says: &quot;Failure to impeach or even the desire to want to impeach such a lawless tyrant as Obola speaks to cowardice and betrayal. &quot; 

You have to look at the order of battle.  The Republicans have a riled up base of maybe 25% of voters. The progs have a loyal base of about 25% of voters. In between lie the 50% of voters who are swayed by the progs&#039; biggest  weapon - the MSM. For the progs the MSM is the equivalent of airpower on a field of battle. It gives them the decisive edge. The Republicans must fight smart. Charging into a battle they can&#039;t win such as  impeachment is a trap that the progs hope the GOP will fall into. The coverage by the MSM would be the equivalent of Abu Ghraib.  Impeachment would be somewhat the equivalent of the violent protests the progs are now engaged in. Those  protest tactics, though covered sympathetically by the MSM, are  turning off a lot  of LIVs, just as impeachment would. 
 
The way forward as proposed by Otiose is brilliant. I&#039;m stealing it (sorry Otiose), and sending it to both McConnell and Boehner.  When you are the weaker of two adversaries, you have to  use ju-jitsu. Keep making them vote against/veto common sense bills. Keep the  pressure up. We have the numbers in both houses of Congress now to keep passing  legislation.  Always present our side as the  moderate and  reasonable and the progs as the unreasonable ideologues. The MSM will not  cooperate, but they can&#039;t not cover stories of   new legislation in Congress and vetoes.  We have to be  like water on stone. Drip, drip, drip and wear them down. We will have a much stronger position in January than any  time in the last six years. Every weapon in war has its best applications. Using control of Congress wisely to force Obama into corners he doesn&#039;t want to be in is just such a weapon.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s really very simple. the democrats want to put these illegals on the path to citizenship because they believe, correctly, that the vast majority will eventually become democrat voters. This will virtually insure a democrat majority electorate, hence house, senate, and presidency. The establishment republicans want it because their masters, i.e. big business wants a large ready pool of cheap labor. 
 I work in the engineering field. The cry about issuing more H1B visas to get more foreign engineeers (aka hi-tech workers) into the country because we suffer from a shortage of engineers is the biggest bunch of bull shit you will hear since &lt;i&gt;&quot;If you like your medical plan, you can keep your medical plan.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;  There is no shortage.  They just want to lower the cost by bringing in cheap foreign labor.  The IEEE has been very vocal about this, not that you&#039;d know it from our main-stream media.
In the 80&#039;s US industry began seriously gutting the industrial base of this country by off-shoring our manufacturing base so as to benefit from cheap labor and relaxed regulations overseas.  All in the name of short term profits for the shareholders.  Continuing in that vein, it has long been seen as desirable to lower the labor costs in this country so as to be more in line with the rest of the world.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s really very simple. the democrats want to put these illegals on the path to citizenship because they believe, correctly, that the vast majority will eventually become democrat voters. This will virtually insure a democrat majority electorate, hence house, senate, and presidency. The establishment republicans want it because their masters, i.e. big business wants a large ready pool of cheap labor.<br />
 I work in the engineering field. The cry about issuing more H1B visas to get more foreign engineeers (aka hi-tech workers) into the country because we suffer from a shortage of engineers is the biggest bunch of bull shit you will hear since <i>&#8220;If you like your medical plan, you can keep your medical plan.&#8221;</i>  There is no shortage.  They just want to lower the cost by bringing in cheap foreign labor.  The IEEE has been very vocal about this, not that you&#8217;d know it from our main-stream media.<br />
In the 80&#8217;s US industry began seriously gutting the industrial base of this country by off-shoring our manufacturing base so as to benefit from cheap labor and relaxed regulations overseas.  All in the name of short term profits for the shareholders.  Continuing in that vein, it has long been seen as desirable to lower the labor costs in this country so as to be more in line with the rest of the world.  The financialization and corrupt crony-capitalist policies have inevitably led to this situation.

					<description><![CDATA[Impeach.  

Call Obola&#039;s bluff.  He says he wants it.  The Dems say they want it.  Then do it.

A major and significant reason is that there is disgust, disdain, lack of trust in the government, lack of faith in the government, resulting in voter apathy and justified deep-seated cynicism.

For me and the segment of the population that I&#039;m a part of I see ungodly Cowardice.  The virtue that undergirds all other virtues is Courage.  There is an important tool that our Founding Fathers instilled in their system of checks and balances that is called impeachment and removal of a lawless and tyrannical executive.  

Failure to impeach or even the desire to want to impeach such a lawless tyrant as Obola speaks to cowardice and betrayal.  

So what if it fails!!!  So what!  So what!  The mere action of doing so speaks volumes about the Courage of DOING THE RIGHT and GOOD THING.  Doesn&#039;t matter (at all) if it&#039;s demonized by the Liberal Meanstream Media.  Doesn&#039;t matter (at all) if it&#039;s demonized by the RINO establishment.  You actually want to be demonized.  Why?  Because you want the name of a poster on this thread:  Clarity Seeker.

You want to see who stands where.  You want to see courage.  You want to see lawlessness stopped politically with the political instruments available.  Refusal to do so speaks to cowardice.  Cowardice wildly breeds disgust, disdain, cynicism, and apathy towards the governmental system.

Is this what our soldiers died for?  They died for moderate cowards who shat away the Constitution.]]></description>
