Tag: Constitution (page 2)By TiredIronTim, Section News
It's always the principle of the matter
(637 words in story) Full Story By JGillman, Section News
Ted Cruz is spot on.
The role of the US House is supposed to be fund as needed, and not as a great big package. The President as Cruz explained, called out the dangers of veterans services and parks being put at risk by the GOP led house holding off the big package. The US House responded appropriately and offered funding only to have it rejected by Harry Reid. Huh go figure. Michigan GOP Reps pay attention. KNOW that you are winning FOR the country.
This guy is brilliant. (3 comments) Comments >> By JGillman, Section News
Credit where it is due.
In fact, I should have eight other press releases similar to this one. Tim Walberg (CD7)yesterday, voted in favor of legislation that would provide funding for the National Park Service and the Veterans Affairs Department. However,both pieces of legislation failed by not gathering enough Democrats to reach the two-thirds required for final passage. We have discussed this (quite appropriate)strategy on these pages recently. Walberg says: "President Obama and Congressional Democrats are already on record as supporting a piecemeal approach to keeping the government funded. It's disappointing some of my colleagues in the House do not feel as strongly about veteran services and disability claims, national parks and other areas of importance.Solid. Reality, is that Obama and Reid have said they will not negotiate. The GOP led US House is completely in the correct mode holding out specific funding legislation for what might be perceived as an immediate need, while other negotiations (and hopefully complete dissolution of Obamacare) are being made. Any suffering as a result of non funding is the result of the Democrats' stubbornness, and the President's absolutism. (7 comments) Comments >> By JGillman, Section News
The old question of how one might eat an elephant could see a fiscal analogy if a miracle of courage and determination sets into the Republican dominated US House.
Congress has already set an example of continuing resolutions, and money spending sans a budget, balanced or otherwise. Frankly, the role of congress has become that of enabler and cash valet to the spenders elsewhere in government, and little more. Competing special interests over the years have created some form of acceptance that ALL issues are important enough to fund fully, and no congress critter majority has been able to (as a whole) suppress the need to please. Its now a different world. The stakes are higher, there is a tyranny begging to be funded, and the people are screaming at the top of their lungs that ENOUGH is ENOUGH! And something happened in the meantime that should give us hope. Letting a little steam off the pressure cooker that is Washington DC, the president is at the time of this writing, expected to sign a bill guaranteeing pay for military services and members in the event of a 'shut down'. "The measure would also ensure continued pay for civilian employees of the Defense Department and Pentagon contractors whom Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel determines "are providing support to members of the Armed Forces." "Big deal, no? Think about it as one less thing the president can hold over the Republicans in congress. And the fact is, he really MUST sign it. Otherwise the tables are turned hard on him. And it is pure gold that should not be squandered. Listen up GOP, you had best go below the fold and pay close attention.

Leave it to SE Michigan's Moscow on the Huron to go the way of control freak Mayor Doomberg.
University of Michigan Health System and the University of Michigan Medical School will no longer peddle sugary drinks in their cafeterias and vending machines, banning the sale of everything from sodas to sweetened coffees. And when U of M's "effort" does not include the use of my tax dollars, they are free to do whatever the Hell they want.
But several other efforts to reduce access have bred backlash for going to far to restrict personal choice. Courts have ruled that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's push to ban the sale of sugary drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces was illegal. The Left is "pro choice" when comes to killing babies and Teh Ghey marriage. Have a soft drink? Forgettaboutit. All those mentally ill cretins are fully deserving to be mocked.

I've always held a fondness for Republican Michigander. Decent young man. Believes in what he does. I respect that. Do we always see eye-to-eye? Hell no. That's OK. It'd be boring otherwise. What's all the lead in about, CS? Glad you ask. I just took a yonder over to Dan's blog, and dammit, principle prevails from Dan, again.
Full disclosure. I'm not a tea party guy. I'm not an anti tea party guy. Sometimes I agree with various tea party individuals and sometimes I am in opposition. I want to make that clear. That's a fair shake on the BS Rube Goldberg straw poll. Good assessment, Dan. The chattering class handling the incumbents are scrambling. Circle them wagons, boys - the taxpayers are awakening! Look, it's no secret to anyone that Brian Calley is the biggest joke in town if trying to paint him as a Conservative voice on the "Nerdy Ticket" to bigger government and higher taxes. C'mon folks, a contrived straw poll from this jagoff? AYFKM? Besides, even the late Ray Charles could see Strat Nat pulling strings from behind the curtain. Tacky. Yessirree. It is said that bullsh!t sells but, who's buying it anymore? Not I. Good luck with that, Nerdy ticket... (5 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
In the video below, I see Sen. Bob Corker, however, if one listens closely, all you'll hear is ousted Party Committeeman, and NPV lobbyist, Saul Anuzis embarrass himself debating a principled Conservative.
Thank you, Sen. Ted Cruz! Keep exposing all the duplicitous dregs taking refuge in the GOP Big Tent for what they truly are - spineless, pandering, Democrat-lite Progressives. (1 comment) Comments >> By JGillman, Section News
