Talk about betraying the American people who are fed up to here with the double-talk from politicians – on both sides of the aisle.
The results of the election are evidence of the dissatisfaction Americans feel about the direction of our country and the "hear-no-evil-see-no-evil" actions of too many in Congress and the media.
The Democrats, led by the man in the Oval Office, are selling us out to terrorists of all stripes, and now it's Castro and his Communist government right on our Florida border. Obama releases terrorists from prison, enforces legislation to slowly empty our prisons and jails of convicted criminals, opens the borders to anyone who wants in and gives them the gift and perks of citizenship.
It goes on and on – Barack Obama simply does what he wants whether or not he's constitutionally empowered to do so, and all the while, congressional Democrats and most Republicans say nothing.
Well, some do talk, notably California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who, in releasing some details of the interrogation of militant Islamist terrorists after 9/11 – calling it torture – acts as though she is the moral voice of God. Actually, in my view – and I'm not alone – she has committed an actionable act of treason.
TRENDING: Jihad against Christians is due to … climate change?
But will anything happen to her? No. At least not yet.
Until now, the Senate was controlled by Democrats. So, it's no surprise none of them had the cojones to criticize the big BO. There wasn't a peep of objection as Obama steamrolled his way to change what he wanted, the Constitution be damned.
But what about the GOP? What GOP?
Traditional Republicans, conservatives, tea-partiers and just people who respect the rule of law and freedom have been burdened with a GOP lacking the courage, guts and basic strength to object and put up a defense against essentially dictatorial actions of the president.
With a powerless GOP in the Senate and despite power in the House, conservatives had to watch the tears and fake dramatics of the House speaker, John Boehner.
The first time I saw him cry I thought it was a joke. U-h-h-h, no, it wasn't.
It didn't take long for me, and millions of other Americans, to get sick and tired of the theatrics and the behind-the-scenes dealing with Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The GOP, led by Boehner, maintained the fake image of conservatism, but the undercurrent against party non-actions was building.
The election stunned the Democrats who thought they had a lock on "success" and power. The results showed that enough people were sick of us being sold out and wanted a change. They got it.
The GOP will control Congress in the new session, and change is possible; whether it happens remains to be seen.
But there's no change in the presidency. Obama wasn't on that ballot, and it's clear this rogue president will continue his scorched-earth policy that easily could lead to the downfall of this country. He's already made great inroads on that.
So are the conservatives happy?
In one sense they should be – but then there's John Boehner.
Will he be re-elected speaker? It appears old John is going to have some rough going with that.
Conservative voices are being raised against him, and even the conservative media is being heard.
The threat is clear. If Boehner stays, many will drop out of the party.
They'll take their support, their votes and, most importantly, their money.
With such undercurrents of major dissatisfaction within the party, one would think John Boehner would get the hint and at the very least pretend he takes it seriously.
But no. The man lives in another world. To add insult to injury, we have him presenting a stupid singsong poem making light of what's going on.
His "official" good-bye to the 113th Congress was his take on "Twas the Night Before Christmas," which his office posted as a video.
In the lighthearted parody, he said things would be different, tough issues would be addressed and the Constitution followed.
Thanks, John, I think you just ruined your chances of any future in the party. At least, I hope so.
And I'm not alone in knowing that the problems we face in Washington are not a joke or a parody.
It's real life we face. It's lives ruined. It's dead military and ambushed police. It's street riots and politicians fanning the fires of racism and chaos. It's criminals released from jail and terrorists freed to return to their lairs of devious killing of children and Christians. It's opening the doors to accepting Communism on our doorstep and rewarding illegal aliens crossing our border with all that makes our country great.
Most politicians say nothing, and the one with the courage to speak, i.e. Marco Rubio, is slammed by Democrats and Republicans, and the media just pile on.
The economy is ailing, inflation increasing. Unemployment is growing with a lack of jobs for young and old alike. Schools are on a downward spiral, and the future is more bleak than not.
There's a campaign launched by WND founder and Editor Joseph Farah aimed at gathering support to dump Boehner. No sooner was it launched then there were more than 400 THOUSAND messages urging the GOP to dump old John. They'll be delivered to the new Congress.
Boehner has had his day; the sun has set.
It's time for a change. What the GOP and conservatives don't need is a leader who kow-tows to the opposition while pretending he doesn't.
There's a battle for the soul of our country to win, and we don't need a posturing politician who cries.
