Other than the passage of the 17th amendment the action of the Senate yesterday to strip the rule of minority consent, sold by the media under the obfuscation term of “the filibuster rule”, nothing has been so stark as to destroy the very foundation from our republic.
To justify the usurpation the White House tweets this message:

Understand the severity – The “minority consent“, now dispatched in rather willy nilly fashion, by Majority Leader Harry Reid is the thread which binds the very fabric of the constitution.
There is NOT one mention of the word “Democracy” in our constitution – NOT ONE.  The absence of the word democracy is specifically intentional.
The exact phrase which sums up our united states charter is:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government.”

The “Consent of the Minority” was not merely a substantive point of constitutional construction.  It was -by intentional construct- the very binding substance which created the parchment before a single word was penned. (more…)

Prior to the revolutionary war the majority did not want to fight England for our independence.   During the revolutionary war the majority did not want to help fight England for our independence, they were called loyalists.   In the actual fighting itself many loyalists assisted the armies of King George against the army of our congress who were called Continentals.
From our own soil 50,000 Loyalists joined England and fought for King George.   For comparison only 35,000 Continentals were in the fight for independence.
Hence 44,500 non-military militia were needed and eventually mobilized from every village and farm.
People often forget it was a minority of patriots who wanted, fought for, and won liberty for an entire nation.

Those Loyalists who favored British colonial rule never left, they were not dispatched after our national independence was won.   Those British Loyalists who were uncommitted to our struggle for independence stayed here in a new nation enjoying the liberty and freedom they never lifted a finger to support – and in many cases fought against.
For 207 years we have been in a war of ideas with that uncommitted crew.   We have been fighting a war of ideas between a proposition of “liberty and independence”, and those who prefer, or at least are comfortable with, a lesser freedom.
Today that loyalist-minded majority changed the rules.

I am so angry, I can barely type.  The only reason Harry Reid changed the rules today is because the Democrats are constructing a second term bailout of President Obama, while solidifying his legacy.  This maneuver today will effect generations.

It cannot be emphasized enough how TODAY, November 21st – 2013, will go down in history as the single most definitive day when your life changed.    The entire construct of the balance of constitutional checks and balances has been tipped.   THIS IS ABSOLUTE TYRANNY ! 
Obama/Reid have previously presented the most radical judicial nominees to federal courts all over the nation.    They have been blocked by the lack of minority consent – that is the intention of the Senate.    This is not a change to “filibuster” per se’, the use of that term is just obfuscation to make what has been done seem unimportant or technical.   What Obama/Reid are doing is blocking, avoiding, ignoring the concept of “minority consent”.   The concept of “minority consent” allows a minority to protect themselves from the tyranny of the majority.
Obama/Reid have just destroyed the essential framework of freedom and liberty protection that was cemented into the building blocks of our government by Thomas Jefferson.
President Obama will put the most radical of the federal judicial appointments on the DC 5th circuit.
The DC 5th district court of appeals hears most of the cases surrounding constitutional issues and challenges against legislation stemming from Washington DC.
What Obama / Reid are doing is insuring those legal cases/challenges can be squashed before they reach the Supreme Court.   This cements the ability of unconstitutional legislative bricks to set and destroy individual liberty and individual freedom.
Today, EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE CHANGED – You just haven’t noticed yet. (more…)

It’s bad enough to know confirmation exists of Al Shabbab Islamic terrorists having crossed the U.S. Mexico border;  but to know we are allowing immigration through traditional processes is, well, beyond alarming.

Several dozen suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees, according to FBI agents investigating the remnants of roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan. 

(Via ABC News)  Two al Qaeda-Iraq terrorists were discovered living as refugees in Kentucky in 2009. The men later admitted in court that they’d attacked U.S. soldiers in Iraq, ABC News reported.
The investigation showed that Waad Ramadan Alwan was mistakenly allowed to resettle in Bowling Green, home to Western Kentucky University and very close to the Army’s Fort Knox and Fort Campbell. (more…)

Of all the narrative collapses which could possibly have occurred, this has to be the most devastating.   Jessica Sanford reflects the ACTUAL REALITY of ObamaCare and President Obama used her example as advocacy.  WoW !   If the mainstream media picks up this story Obamacare might just collapse from the publicity.

Instead of $169/month as she thought, and President Obama claimed, her actual Obamacare premium cost is $621/month.   Even higher than her pre-Obamacare quotes from private insurance companies:

WASHINGTON – Jessica Sanford, the Federal Way woman who got a shout-out from President Obama last month with her fan letter for the Affordable Care Act, got a rather rude awakening last week.   Turns out she doesn’t qualify for a tax credit after all.
At least that’s what the letter said that she got from the state. Now she says her dream of affordable health insurance has gone poof. She can’t afford it. She’ll have to go without. “I’m really terribly embarrassed,” she says. “It has completely turned around on me. I mean, completely.”
Chalk it up to a bollixed-up state website that apparently still has major problems. Originally it said Sanford and her child would get a whopping tax credit that would reduce their total premium to $169 a month. Now the state is telling her it goofed – twice – and she has to pay full ticket. (more…)

(via Daily Caller)  It’s Nov. 16, 2013, and the partial government shutdown ended one month ago today. In those four weeks, and the two prior, everything conservatives said would happen has happened.

What’s more, the Democrats’ united stand against them has turned into a retreat — and is primed to become a rout — as they amend Obamacare’s disastrous rollout, President Barack Obama apologizes for his failures, and electorally vulnerable Democrats break ranks and flee. Hell, even the polls that D.C.’s Republican pundits shrieked, wept and clawed over show the Grand Old Party has bounced back while the Democrats have fallen behind. Because, in the end, real people simply weren’t affected by the shutdown, so they won’t vote on it — a distinction Obamacare does not share. (more…)

Back in 2009 Senator Jim DeMint began the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF).  The goal was to fund conservative candidates of like-minded association who could join with DeMint and push back against the establishment class of big government Republicans, the Decepticons.
DeMint’s efforts brought forth folks like Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Tim Scott and a guy named Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
However, during  the recent defund Obamacare fight, Senator Johnson pulled the “Robert The Bruce move” and was the only member of the Tea Party supported Senate Conservative team to break ranks.    Johnson sided with the Decepticons and Democrats and voted to approve “cloture”.  [If you ever saw the movie Braveheart you know who Robert The Bruce is – That’s Ron Johnson].
Since then he has been on a campaign to get back his credibility, his old image, and hide his Decepticon infection.     We will provide no cover for him – nor will we forget.
Johnson’s latest self-serving exploit was to present the GOP weekly address today:

We harbor no illusions as to the importance of the Kentucky Senate Race in 2014.   The primary, which takes place in May, will determine far more than the next Senator from Kentucky.
That’s why Mitch McConnell will attack Matt Bevin relentlessly and he will use the full weight of the establishment GOP Republicans to do it.
If Mitch McConnell wins – Conservatives will have lost.  Period.  McConnell MUST be defeated.

FRANKFORT — Saying there should be no doubt that he intends to win the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate next year, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin filed Friday to try to unseat Republican incumbent Mitch McConnell.
Bevin’s wife, Glenna, and Larry Forgy, a Lexington attorney who lost the 1995 GOP bid for governor and is an ardent opponent of McConnell, signed Bevin’s filing papers in the office of Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes in the Capitol.
Grimes is expected to be the Democratic nominee in next year’s U.S. Senate race, which political observers have estimated will cost $100 million in campaign spending.
Bevin, a well-heeled investment manager in Louisville, had announced in July that he would be a candidate. He has founded several firms and has invested in companies with interests ranging from manufacturing to software. (more…)

OY, this level of arrogance is merely reflective.    Rand Paul says Mitch McConnell challenger, Matt Bevin, is a “good, honest, Christian man”.    McConnell’s campaign manager gets tweeked and says Rand Paul misspoke. 
The arrogance of the power hungry McConnell people is astounding.   I’m thinking Rand Paul can speak for himself, but that’s just me…. 
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) – Tea party darling Rand Paul has endorsed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, [the reason is well outlined HERE] but he’s saying kind words about McConnell’s GOP primary challenger, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin.
Paul referred to Bevin as a “good, honest, Christian man” and said he doesn’t have anything bad to say about McConnell’s challenger. Paul made the comments Friday in Louisville, shortly after Bevin filed to run against McConnell in next May’s GOP primary in Kentucky. (more…)
