Collusion?

Now we learn that Mexico has stopped the flood of illegal minors from Central America somewhat before the past November's elections … see: Breitbart Article. This must mean that it purposely permitted the huge influx of this same group earlier this past summer. And the obvious question that this raises is, Why? Has the Mexican government been colluding with the Obama administration to try to influence the outcome of our elections … and earlier to grease the passage of an Obama immigration amnesty bill?

And was Mexico getting cold feet … which is why we were flying these illegals into Texas from Central America  … see: Forums Story?

It may take many years before we have definitive answers to these questions … but, seeing how, in the past, this administration has attempted illegal or immoral means to orchestrate things to satisfy its liberal agenda (remember Fast and Furious), I wouldn’t be half surprised that it had colluded with the Mexican poobahs in these matters. However, experiencing this kind of nasty and base corruption on the part of the Mexicans shocks … shocks me to the core!

I think that Charles Krauthammer keeps calling us a Banana Republic ... perhaps he is right?

The Wrong Target

Unfortunately, the many protests against the massive influx of illegal immigrant "children" in the southwest United States have chosen the wrong target ... clearly the hope of the Obama administration. Its orchestrated attempt to use immigration as a way of negating its scandalous behavior in most other quadrants of its governance seems to be working. The optics of angry protesters turning back busloads of these political pawns can do nothing but reinforce a Latino backlash against Republican candidates at the polls in November ... chuckle, chuckle ... see: Washington Times Story ... even though some of these protester may be Democrats.

The real target of these riled-up citizens should be the Obama administration itself. Why not send massive demonstrators in front of the White House ... or to the country clubs where our fearless leader is focusing on world problems? I can suggest a few of the picketers' signs: :"Mr President, Do your f-ing job!", "Are we just another banana republic?", "Would you put your daughters through this kind of hell?", "Do you know what 'faithfully execute the laws' means?", etc.

Then these protesters might suddenly not be the lede segments in the nightly TV network news programs ...

I Give Up

Uncle! I surrender! No mas! Call off the dogs! You win! I turn over my king … Obama, you have check-mated me!

It is clear that our President holds all the high cards and it is futile to resist.  I’m sure he knows that I have contributed to the Republican Party and he can sic the IRS on me at the drop of a metaphor. I sense the NSA presence in all my phone calls and hacked into this computer.  I have seen how Attorney General Eric Holder has dropped the hammer on conservative voices across the country and I don’t want to suffer a similar fate.  He seems to have the FBI on a short leash and is not hesitant to use them to go after those of us "racists" who don’t want to go along to get along.  

And I certainly don’t want to lose my health insurance or incur the wrath of future death panels.

I have seen how quickly the main stream media can destroy someone who poses a threat to this administration and the Democrat party. Witness Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, Robert McDonnell in Virginia, Dinesh D'Souza, and too too many others. And I have seen how the Chicago machine politics works … electing their friends time after time … seemingly against the will of the people.  I have witnessed President Obama use the Constitution like a napkin at one of his lavish dinners … and seen him castigate anyone with more money than he deems appropriate. Yet I have also watched as billions upon billions of government dollars are also funneled to his friends. I want to become one of those “friends.”

I sense to all-powerful nature of our government in picking corporate winners … such as Google and Solyndra … and losers … such as Koch Industries and JP Morgan. I cringe at the arbitrariness of our economic future under such leadership and worry if my nest egg of stock investments will be destroyed in a fit of pique by our Fearless Leader. As Charles Krauthammer observes, we are rapidly becoming a banana republic … and I want to be put all my money in Chiquita Brands Inc.

I have witnessed how Nancy Pelosi once used the House of Representatives as her personal playpen and how Harry Reid still does the same in the Senate.  I don’t want to get on their radar screens as being a miscreant. And I see the continued growth of the Clinton juggernaut … such as de Blasio in New York City and McAuliffe in Virginia … and worry that I have somehow offended them … and that they may seek vengeance after they once again control everything.  Please forgive my past sins! I promise I will vote for Chelsea whenever she runs for something!

We conservatives are finished ... we are on the ropes and I formally throw in the towel.

NOT!

Banana Republic

Charles Krauthammer has a sobering column in a recent Washington Post about how the standing rules are being ignored or brazenly broken in both the Executive and Legislative branches of our government.  It is a compelling read ... see: Washington Post Opinion Piece.  If you skip this hyperlink, one of its many important quotes is:

We’ve now reached a point where a flailing president, desperate to deflect the opprobrium heaped upon him for the false promise that you could keep your health plan if you wanted to, calls a hasty news conference urging both insurers and the states to reinstate millions of such plans.

Except that he is asking them to break the law. His own law. Under Obamacare, no insurer may issue a policy after 2013 that does not meet the law’s minimum coverage requirements. These plans were canceled because they do not.

The law remains unchanged. The regulations governing that law remain unchanged. Nothing is changed except for a president proposing to unilaterally change his own law from the White House press room.  

That’s banana republic stuff, except that there the dictator proclaims from the presidential balcony.

It saddens me that so few people of real influence see our government's unraveling and take to the barricades to denounce it. We used to have such people of stature ... they were called statesmen. Instead we are today served by Woody-Allen-style puppets who prance and pose trying to capture American's attention one step ahead of Mylie Cyrus's twerking.

We are in a sorry state of disrepair ... and as Charles Krauthammer closes his column with:

A Senate with no rules. A president without boundaries. One day, when a few bottled-up judicial nominees and a malfunctioning health-care Web site are barely a memory, we will still be dealing with the toxic residue of this outbreak of authoritative lawlessness.
