Is it what we have been waiting for?
House Speaker John Boehner made a passionate plea against the occupant of the Oval Office using illegal authority to unilaterally change immigration law. The Speaker, in leading passage of several amendments to a Homeland Security funding bill, sought to reverse the “president’s” intent to make lawbreakers citizens. Boehner’s efforts passed by a 237 to 190 margin. The “president” says he will veto the bill, even if it means shutting down Homeland Security. His socialist Democratic Party members are outraged that Republicans would take a “full-force assault on immigrants,” as put by Progressive Caucus (translate: Communist) member, Sheila Jackson Lee. A showdown is eminent.
Now you will have all the scare tactics, fear mongering and race baiting coming out of the rich Capital Hill woodwork. The Progressive Caucus (named so because it is politically incorrect to have a caucus named the Communist Caucus) wants anarchy to undermine the country, hence allowing illegal aliens–people who started their journey in the United States by breaking the law–to become citizens. This is also the “president’s” position. At the same time, when they have repeatedly claimed that Islam is a “peaceful religion,” they are now saying that Islamic terrorist attacks like the one in France make it even more important to fund Homeland Security.
There is a double edge to this sword. Homeland Security is a huge bureaucracy dealing with the problem of Islamic terrorism in the US. It’s approach is to spy on all of us, to oppress all of us, to police all of us in order to keep a handful of Islamists from killing us. At the same time, the “president” has prevented Homeland Security from enforcing border security laws, thus allowing an untold number of Islamic terrorists to cross into the US undetected. What appears to limit Homeland Security’s mission is the politically-correct notion that it cannot profile or target Islamists or other communist malcontents in its efforts to fight terrorism. The Progressives are happy with both edges of the sword. It suits their goals.
Boehner has set a path for compromise and the opposition is digging in. Americans gave an overwhelming victory to Republicans during the last election to oppose this “president” and effectively repeal much of what has been done to ruin this country during his time in office. That means results. Boehner is not proven until he is successful. Trying isn’t doing. There are more fronts to attack–legal, criminal, civil–this “president” has violated the Constitution with impunity and all avenues should be employed to hold him accountable. Just as the servant who buried the talent instead of multiplying it. Jesus said in Matthew 25:30, “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness.” These leaders govern by the consent of the people. Accountability begins in our house.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
