HARRY REID THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET
BIG GOVERNMENT MOBS IN THE STREETS
By all means, SHUT IT DOWN!
Harry Reid is insisting the Senate will pass another short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) at current levels so the Senate can pursue budget negotiations with the House. He says the House needs to "stop drawing lines in the sand" and work with Democrats "to negotiate a responsible, long-term solution" to our government's fiscal crisis. To bolster America's march into socialism, "big government" public employee union mobs are in the streets screaming for more taxpayer subsidized freebies.This is the same Harry Reid, partner in crime with the Obama person occupying our Oval Office, who is presently
"Organizing For America" Labor Mobs to Overturn Free and Fair Elections!Just what kind of "negotiations" does Harry Reid have in mind? Communist-style general strikes? Violence, thuggery and coercion? Riots in the streets when he doesn't get his way?
Elections have consequences, but it is looking as if the Democrat "progressive" Left in America -- like the old Soviet Union and other extremist, totalitarian movements -- is unwilling to actually accept those consequences and abide by the will of the majority as expressed in free and fair elections. As Democrat legislators go AWOL to prevent voting quorums, public union labor mobs mobilized and funded by Barack Obama's political front Organizing for America are turning out unruly demonstrations in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, California, protesting legislative efforts to restore fiscal sanity to exploding state budgets – legislative efforts just as must be taken to the federal budget. If the sober and responsible Constitutionalists We the People have elected to the state houses and the federal Congress surrender to these thuggish mobs, America's future is forfeit!
There is NO room for negotiation for more deficit spending, only PASSAGE of more spending CUTS! The GOP's "Leaders" John Boehner and Eric Cantor already blinked, and have so far authorized in the House CR version a bare HALF of the spending cuts recommended by the Republican Study Committee -- and Cantor just led the charge on stabbing Patriot Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn in the back to torpedo her across the board cuts that would have brought spending down to 2008 levels, as promised!
This is UNACCEPTABLE, and WE the PEOPLE must MAKE OUR POSITION CLEAR TO CONGRESS AND OBAMA! NO SURRENDER, NO DEFICIT SPENDING -- MAKE THE CUTS!
The Blackburn amendment was designed to ensure the GOP lived up to its "$100 billion in cuts" pledge. By its own description, the amendment would have "reduce[d] spending by 5.5% in 8 non-security spending subsections of the bill and reduce[d] Legislative Branch appropriations by 11%."
This defeat was yet another GOP "Leadership" failure, conspicuously advanced by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who took 91 other Republicans along with him to join all the House Democrats in voting it down. Cantor labeled the "across the board" cuts "lazy" -- even though Cantor has himself often called for precisely such cuts, including during the recent elections:
On November 3, 2010, Eric Cantor told CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric, "We have put on the table an attempt to put discretionary spending back to 2008 levels, and that means an across the board reduction in spending." In both 2005 and 2007, Cantor co-sponsored three similar Blackburn bills each session of Congress to make across the board cuts of 1%, 2%, and 5%. So just who is lazy -- and who is also duplicitous?
Establishment Republicans like Cantor are NOT willing to pay the political price of righting our national economic ship! Far more massive cuts than what is in play must be made or America will be fiscally ruined. Compounding the FY 2011 debacle, Obama's budget for FY 2012 would raise taxes sky-high and DOUBLE our national debt over the next 10 years. IT MUST not be enacted in any way, shape or form! We do NOT have room to negotiate with the Democrats OR the RINOs, or maneuver around the margins of political business as usual. What Boehner and Cantor have delivered so far -- $61 billion in cuts from a whopping $3.7 trillion budget -- is a pitiful 1.6% cut!
There must be NO illusions! CNSNews.com reported: "If the federal budget released by President Barack Obama is implemented, it will double the national debt over the next 10 years. The current national debt is $13.56 trillion (end of FY 2010). By the end of 2021, that debt would rise to $26.3 trillion under the White House budget."
Far better to get this mess sorted out NOW even if it takes a political showdown that shuts down non-essential government, than face the chaos of national economic collapse that impends, should we fail to act responsibly while we still can.
