We need more people in Washington D.C. who aren't afraid to publicly identify the left's only agenda: To disrupt, divide, and destroy in order to rebuild a statist, egalitarian, totalitarian 'Utopia'.
If you haven't already done so, PLEASE read Saul Alinsky - Rules for Radicals and The Cloward-Piven Strategy: Forcing Political Change Through Orchestrated Crisis. After reading these you will have a comprehensive understanding of why the left does what they do, and you will understand why they push their seemingly idiotic policies. These people are not stupid. They are wrong in what they aim to accomplish, and they're very clever, but not stupid.
Thanks to representatives like Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) , Sen. Ron Johnson (WI) , Sen. Mike Lee (UT), Sen. Tim Scott (SC), Rep. Rand Paul, Rep. Trey Gowdy, and many, many others who are doing, speaking, and voting for what they were elected to do.From Newsmax:
Rep. Blackburn: Obama Wants a Government Shutdown, Not GOP
President Barack Obama wants the GOP to shut down the federal government in its quest of defund Obamacare, Rep. Marsha Blackburn told Newsmax on Friday.
"He's the one who wants a government shutdown," the Tennessee Republican said. "He's probably looking at it and saying: 'Shut it down. Give me the checkbook — and I get to control all discretionary spending, the Obamacare spending, the mandatory spending.'
"He's just sitting there saying: 'Have at it. Give it a shutdown,'" Blackburn added.
"That's not what we want. We want for him to be working with us instead of running around the country giving campaign speeches."
Blackburn was among several GOP legislators who shared their insights on Obama's comments at his White House news conference.
The president's harshest words for were for Capitol Hill Republicans, who have threatened to shut down the government on Oct. 1 in their effort to defund Obamacare.
Negotiations over the continuing resolution to finance the government begin next week. Congress will have to pass the resolution by the end of September to keep the government operating."The American people would have difficulty understanding why we would weaken our economy, shut down our government, shut down vital services, have people who are not getting paid who then can't go to restaurants or shop for clothes or all the other things that we're doing here — because Republicans have determined that they don't want to see these folks get health care," Obama said, his anger growing as he addressed a reporter's question on the subject.
"They used to say they had a replacement," the president added. "I've been hearing about this whole replacement thing for two years. Now, I just don't hear about it, because basically, they don't have an agenda to provide health insurance to people at affordable rates.
"And the idea that you would shut down the government at a time when the recovery's getting some traction, where we're growing, although not as fast as we need to, where the housing market is recovering, although not as fast as we would like, that we would precipitate another crisis here in Washington that no economist thinks is a good idea — I'm assuming that they will not take that path.
"I have confidence that common sense in the end will prevail," Obama said.
Blackburn told Newsmax that the only common-sense approach on Obamacare is for Republicans to "make certain that there is no way that any money, any taxpayer money, is going to go into this bill because the majority of the American people do not want this law. "They don't want Obamacare," she added. "They want to keep what they've got. They're really upset about this."
Republicans have been proposing healthcare reforms since Obama's bipartisan 2009 healthcare summit at Blair House in Washington.
These include allowing Americans to buy health insurance across state lines and ensuring that insurers faithfully back the policies they sell.
"The difference between his proposals and our proposals are that ours are patient-centered, free-market-oriented — and theirs are government-centered," Blackburn told Newsmax. "We want to leave the control with the patients." read more...
From Newsmax:
“The President is so out of touch with unemployed Americans that he thinks tens of thousands of Keystone XL construction jobs are a ‘blip,’ and ‘not a jobs plan,’" the senator said in Saturday's GOP address, in which he slammed Obama's strategy for energy production.Tim Scott: Obama Blocking Jobs with Energy Policy
President Barack Obama is "out of touch" because he does not take seriously the jobs that would be created through the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project, South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott said Saturday.
"Opening access to responsible energy production will lower prices, create jobs, grow our economy, decrease dangerous dependence on foreign oil and lower the deficit by adding much needed revenue to the Treasury," Scott, a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said. read more...
