Mitch McConnell Summarizes Democrats' Terrorizing The American People With Fiscal Cliff Inaction

by CarterFliptMe

It was only a few years ago that bills were negotiated, submitted, amended, resubmitted, amended, and eventually were either passed or rejected. When it came to spending, the federal government was constitutionally bound by a budget, which was negotiated in Congress, and steered by the President with the threat of veto. The current band of radicals (Progressives) who've taken over the Democrat party have seen to it that Washington DC no longer operates according to the Constitution.  The people have elected Republicans to the House of Representatives to bring some balance and accountability, but these Republicans refuse to even attempt to hold Congress or the Executive branch to their supposed constitutional limits.

The Democrat party uses orchestrated and manufactured crisis as a gun held to the heads of the American people. They make unreasonable and unconstitutional demands, propagandize via Progressive mass media accusing the GOP of the intolerable crime of refusing to meet their demands.  All the while Democrats are threatening the American people with calamity unless the Republicans in Congress surrender.

These actions are not going unnoticed by those of us who care to pay attention, including Democrats, Progressives, Republicans, Tea Party supporters, and the so-called journalists in traditional news media. Those who still support Progressives fully knowing that what they are witnessing or participating in is not constitutional, honest, or beneficial to the basic freedoms of the citizenry, are equally guilty for the damage being inflicted on this great nation. I hold them all accountable, and further placation, negotiation, or otherwise respectful treatment of these persons is intolerable.  Progressives and their supporters have, through their actions, declared war on the Republic of the United States, the Constitution, rule of law, and my (our) individual liberty granted by God. Whether we like it or not, we are at war, because they are at war with us. It's high time our 'leaders' recognize this fact, and act accordingly.

Anyway, here's another 'keep it real' moment from Senator Mitch McConnell, where he has summarized the inaction on the part of Senate Democrats and President Obama over the 'fiscal cliff' non-negotiations.

Rick Santelli Rants Against Democrats on the Fiscal Cliff, Cheers From Wall Street

CNBC’s Rick Santelli, no stranger to cable news shout-fests, went on a tirade this morning over the impending “fiscal cliff.”
During a heated discussion about the impact going over the “cliff” could have on the stock market, Santelli became irate when his CNBC colleague and trader Jim Iuorio suggested the damage wouldn’t be as severe as others predict.
Santelli shouted about how the damage will be severe and could have a negative impact on future generations. “The Fed doesn’t have a clue, neither does the president, neither does Congress,” he shouted. “Neither does Tim Geithner, who gives a speech about the debt ceiling. I’d like to see if he could count to a million, much less 16.4 trillion!”
Eventually, Iuorio gives up trying to interrupt, saying, “I’m through fighting,” but an amused host Joe Kernen clarified that Santelli was just “shouting at Washington” like he always does.

The Fiscal Cliff Showdown And The Electric Light Orchestra

by CarterFliptMe

The President, once again, is holding the American people and Congress hostage! Again, he's threatening us all (mainly Republicans) with fiscal crisis if all of his outlandish demands aren't met.  Of course, Obama is framing the debate as though the Republicans are the ones holding us all hostage, but it's Obama making the threats, and he's done this kind of thing before.  Unfortunately, the network news media won't bring it up, and Americans have short memories.  It's hard to blame anyone for not keeping up considering the daily barrage of Obama's and the Democrats' rapid-fire Alinsky tactics we have to deal with.

Anyway, I thought I'd put some of the recent media coverage, Obama's speech, and Electric Light Orchestra's song, Showdown, together in a video.  Enjoy.. or not.

Emperor Obama Warned Us, "He Can't Wait", And He Meant It

by CarterFliptMe

In October, President Obama boldly declared, "We can't wait!", and promised to bypass Congress to enact new legislation and do pretty much anything he damn-well pleases.

Now, to strengthen waning union power in the United States, he's bypassed the Senate approval process, and declared his appointments to fill three vacancies in the National Labor Relations Board, and put Richard Cordray in charge of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
 
The Senate had been blocking Obama's nominees to the NLRB because they were too partisan, and represent only union interests.  The approval of Cordray had been delayed because Republicans objected to the structure and spending authorization of the new CFPB, and were trying to get changes made to it in Congress. 

The most obvious point is that Congress is not in recess!  According to Obama, "We know what would happen if Republicans in Congress were allowed to keep holding Richard's nomination hostage.  More of our loved ones could be tricked into making bad financial decisions."  That's his rationale for violating the Constitution again?  Somebody might be tricked?  It is the now further unrepresented people of the United States who are being bamboozled yet again by the Alinskyite-in-Chief.
 
Thanks to the Dodd-Frank regulations, we now have a CFPB in charge of telling our loved ones which financial decisions are good, and which ones aren't.  The people that run this new Bureau are not elected, and now the head of it has not even been approved by the Senate.  Don't we have laws in place already (which aren't being enforced) that are supposed to protect people from illegal financial practices?  Lastly, does this mean that our laws in financial and lending matters are now irrelevant?  It seems so, since the CFPB (the head of which, again, is unelected and unapproved by the Senate) now gets to decide what's 'fair' or 'unwise'?


Does anyone think this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will 'protect' anyone? The only people this new layer of bureaucracy will protect are elected representatives, by sheltering them from making the tough decisions that affect the economy and our individual lives.


Legal challenges are expected, and this move may cause the entire appointment approval process to come to a screeching halt.  I hope and pray for both!
