Pat Buchanan: Rogue President
Asserting a legal and constitutional authority he himself said he did
not have, President Obama is going rogue, issuing an executive amnesty
to 4 to 5 million illegal aliens.
He will order the U.S. government not to enforce the law against
these 5 million, and declare that they are to be exempt from deportation
and granted green cards.
Where did Obama get his 4-5 million figure, not 2-4 million, or 5-7
million? Nowhere in law, but plucked out of his own mind, as to what he
can get away with. Barack Obama just felt it was about right.
Thus does our constitutional law professor-president “faithfully
execute” the laws of the United States he has twice swore to uphold?

Schlafly: Obama Could Launch Another Civil War
“I think he lies about everything”
President Obama’s looming executive
action on immigration reform represents a Fort Sumter-type moment,
according to conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly.
Schlafly at first considered comparing the Obama amnesty to the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor but decided that Obama’s plan is much
more subtle.
“With Pearl Harbor, the American people knew what was happening,” she said.
But Fort Sumter, where the opening shots of the Civil War were fired,
represented the beginning of a ruinous conflict, and Schlafly, like
fellow conservative luminary Richard Viguerie, speculates that an
executive amnesty might touch off a sort of modern-day conflagration.

Dear GOP, Do Your Damned Job
From Conservative Review
By Steve Deace
November 17, 2014
Dear Republican Party,
On November 4th the American people spoke with a
resounding voice, and voted “no” to President Obama’s Marxist
Progressive agenda/tactics. The numbers show the American people gave
you a definitive mandate as well.
- Democrats are now at their lowest numbers in state legislatures nationwide in 86 years, and Republicans now control more than two-thirds of the state legislative chambers across the country.
- Republicans have the most seats in the U.S. House of Representatives since before the Great Depression.
- Republicans posted one of the top five election year swings in the U.S. Senate in the past 70 years.
- For the first time in 58 years there will be Republican governors in Illinois, Maryland, and Massachusetts at the same time.
- Over 80% of U.S. geography is now represented by Republicans.
The depth and extent of GOP gains were unforeseen by every pollster and
pundit that correctly predicted the outcome of the 2014 election. That’s
because they failed to see two things:
1) The willingness of the conservative base you’ve been battling in recent years to still turn out and turn the tide in several key races.
2)
The American people were far angrier with Obama than they were with
Republicans; disregarding the fact your 42% approval rating in the
latest Gallup poll is the same as the president’s.
Despite claims from liberal media pundits on election night, 2014 was
not an anti-incumbent election. Almost all of the Republican incumbents
won. In fact, the only Republican governor who lost was the one who
raised the gas tax.
However, defiant as ever, the president has reacted to the 2014 election results
by threatening anti-constitutional executive amnesty for illegal
aliens, appointing an Eric Holder clone to succeed him at his renegade
Justice department, and to essentially create an Obamacare for the
internet.
Even Obama’s chosen architect for his signature legislation has been caught
on camera admitting Obamacare wouldn’t have passed without a lack of
transparency from Democrats, and the stupidity of the American people. The Obama Regime is nothing if not shameless.
In spite of this president’s repeated efforts to thwart the rule of law, this is still a representative republic. On November 4th
the American people did all they can lawfully do to save themselves
from Obamaism. They more then went out of their way to change the
direction of the country, even electing Republicans to positions of
prominence within deep blue states like the president’s own home. There
is nothing more the American people can lawfully do that they haven’t
already done.
Now it’s up to you to lead.
See, the American people weren’t just sending a message to Obama, they were
also sending a message to you. And if you refuse to act upon that
message, then you will be guilty of defying the will of the people every
bit as much as the Marxist Progressive in the White House.
The message from the American people is clear – stop Obama.
Contrary to the cynical claims of the Obama Regime, the American people are not stupid. Therefore, you cannot run ads nationwide
reminding voters Obamacare was on the ballot this year and then not do
everything you can to save them from it. You cannot send Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
all over the country to rally a wary conservative base to use this
election as a means to stop Obama’s illegal executive amnesty scheme,
and then not do so.
Despite your lackluster record, we are trusting you again because the
future of the country is at stake and you were our only viable
alternative. Sometimes you have to fight wars with the soldiers you
have.
It is your solemn duty to come up with the remedies that honor the
faith the American people have placed in you, not to mention that
upholds your sworn oaths of office to defend the Constitution against
all enemies both foreign and domestic.
For Obama cannot unilaterally act lawlessly in our system of government.
The separation of powers requires fecklessness on your part to permit it
to happen.
Forget what your consultants tell you is politically possible. You’re
up against an opponent who doesn’t care about possible, let alone
legal. And if this is how this president operates when he had to pretend
to care what the American people thought, imagine what boundaries he’ll
push these final two years when he does not.
You will not be able to outmaneuver or outlast a Progressive who is
hell-bent – literally – on winning a Marxist argument with history. You
will have to face him and defeat him. This isn’t about the technocratic
tactics you too often obsess over. This is about the only tactic that
matters now—survival.
Your courage of conviction is required. History is calling on you to
hold the line on American Exceptionalism, so there’s enough liberty left
for the next president to hopefully start turning the country back to
the vision of the Founding Fathers.
Do your damned job, or you may be the generation Ronald Reagan once
warned us about. The one who will have to explain to their children and
grandchildren what it was once like here when people were still free.

Mark Levin on Worthless RINOs, Government Shutdowns and the Power of the Purse
In our view, there is no more articulate defender of the United States Constitution and the need for Congress to use their power of the purse to stop a tyrannous President, intent on tearing up the Constitution, than Mark Levin. Levin understands, as too many Republican leaders do not, that the many new Republican members of Congress were elected to STOP the Marxist thug in the White House, not to "work with him."
Listen to "the great one" in his own words:

Hoover Institution: The 2014 Congressional Elections in Historical Perspective
David Brady, Hoover deputy director and the Davies Family Senior Fellow,
compares congressional elections from the 1880s to the present,
emphasizing eras of uncertainty, party parity, and surges in independent
voters. His primary theme is the importance of distinguishing between
party sorting versus party polarization and the widespread effects of
party sorting on several aspects of the elections, including incumbency
and election financing in the House and the Senate; local parties,
nationalization, and split tickets; and polling discrepancies with final
election results. He ends by applying these concepts to predictions on
the upcoming general elections.
