The GOP's Self Inflicted Death

February 26th, 2015

My statements, opinions, and the terms "Congress" and "GOP" in this blog apply exclusively to Congressional Republicans. It will be obvious that they apply to Democrats as well but please be indulgent as that scenario will be for another blog.

It was early November 2014, but seems like only yesterday that a joyous GOP was smugly celebrating their lopsided Congressional victory over Obama and the Democrats. To a person they reveled knowing that their political fortunes had turned, Obama's lawless rule as a monarch was over, and America was back on the road to relative normality.

The Downside of Change: Funny how the age-old adage "the more things change the more they stay the same" so aptly applies to the GOP. Since that election nothing positive in corrupt DC has happened for the inept GOP. To the contrary they are worse off than prior to their meaningless self-proclaimed crushing defeat of the Democrats last November. The election results notwithstanding, Obama and leading Democrat in congress continue treating them like the irrelevant, fatuous group of amoebas they in fact are... and for very good reasons.

Congressional Oath of Office: When being sworn into office every congressmen/woman take the following oath:

"I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

Congressional Breach of Trust: Congress has turned their sworn oath into an absolute farce representing the very height of hypocrisy when considering their complicity in enabling Obama's acts, Executive Orders and edicts, their legality notwithstanding. Congress has consistently and willfully violated their oaths of office by supporting and enabling Obama to flagrantly violate the U.S. Constitution as well as Federal and State criminal laws on a regular basis.

This treacherous breach of trust has resulted in a continuing and detrimental systemic disruption of traditional American culture and values. You are probably familiar with some of Obama's higher profile acts that have contributed to disrupting America as they have been rehashed ad nauseam. For the sake of brevity a few included therein are as follows:

• Benghazi murders
• IRS targeting
• Funding and supporting terrorist organizations e.g., Hamas and MB
• Releasing high value Muslim terrorists from Gitmo
• Massive unchecked illegal immigration of the world's indigents and undesirables to America
• Supporting Iran's quest for a nucluer weapon

The GOP supported all of these outrageous acts through silence, acquiescence, or mere sniveling as not one act resulted in meaningful consequences regardless of its gravity. On May 12, 2015 they attepted to save Obamatrade, the highly controversial Trans Pacific Partnership, that had been shot down by Democrats. The act is very detrimental to American business and the integrity our coutry as a whole. Among other things it gives foreign corporations the absolute right to sue America... the very country Obama hates & whose traditional culture and values he is destroying with the willing support of Congress.

Executive Amnesty and Net Neutrality: Most recently however, is the GOP's egregious behavior in supporting Obama's illegal Executive Amnesty and Net Neutrality, a euphemism for controlling Internet content... for openers! Recently Federal District Court Judge Andrew Hansen in Brownsville, TX enjoined the implementation of Executive Amnesty on multiple legal grounds. Obama is appealing the decision but concurrently therewith is aggressively moving forward as if the injunction had never been issued.

Disobeying the order and authority of a U.S. District Court judge is consistent with Obama's disrespect for and hatred of all things American. His typical boorish behavior is to be expected and evinces Obama's total lack of concern for the consequences of his actions from an enabling congress comprised of worthless sycophants. However, Congress condoning Obama's aforementioned callous disregard for U.S. law and authority by supporting Executive Amnesty subsequent to its implementation being enjoined is simply outrageous.

Obama Attacks the First Amendment: The net effect of 'Net Neutrality' will be to enable the Government, i.e., Obama and his ilk of anti-Americans, to control our freedom of speech and continue chipping away at the First Amendment. Final regulations on controlling Internet content promulgated by the FCC pursuant to Obama's directive have not been released but will be forthcoming in the immediate future. The GOP has already indicated its acceptance of and support for these regulations restricting freedom of speech and arguably violating the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Lawlessness Unchecked: There is an abundance of cogent evidence substantiating Obama's pattern of overt lawlessness clearly constituting impeachable offenses. Inexplicably, however, Congress has purposefully failed to act in any meaningful manner to hold him accountable. Instead they've acquiesced like sheep by purposefully failing to take substantive action. In doing so they have not only willfully abetted Obama, but also disrespected America, her rule of law, and pre-Obama traditional form of government.

Disparaging America: Obama has been the first president of the U.S. to consistently disparage and blatantly lie about America to her allies and enemies in public forums. In every instance the reaction of Congress has been deafening silence. This can only be construed as tacitly agreeing with Obama's hateful remarks and lies, or pretending that they were never uttered. In either case such behavior is appalling. On May 11, 2015 Obama had the audacity to complain to the UN about America's unfair treatment of minorities.

The Ultimate Duty of Congress: Congress has a sworn duty to America and its citizenry to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, as it is the law of the land. Enabling Obama to rule as a virtual monarch with free rein to act as he pleases within or outside of the law with neither accountability nor consequence, as mentioned aforesaid, is contrary to and a blatant violation of their sworn oath.

I sincerely believe the personal agendas of Congress trump their sworn duty to America. Such conduct not only evinces a lack of conscience, it is reprehensible, unpatriotic, and should not be tolerated. Americans deserve better and the GOP has failed miserably.

One objectively reading the foregoing content, sans its preamble, would in all probability logically conclude that I was opining about Congressional Democrats. The fact that the topic pertains to the GOP in Congress is disturbing because it demonstrates that both parties are fundamentally indistinguishable, their respective names notwithstanding. Ergo, under Obama's 'significant transformation' America has evolved into a single party form of government, had its Constitution turned upside down, and effectively eliminated the GOP on the grounds of irrelevance. In my opinion their self inflicted death is very well deserved.

Everything looks right on. People need to understand the documents that define this Country and the fact that every elect member of Government has sworn an oath to uphold the principles of those documents. They also need to separate the Confederate Flag from advocating Slavery since the Civil War had little to do with slavery. And the fact that there are more black men and women today serving as slaves all across the Continent of Africa (mostly in Islamic Countries) and no outcry from the Obama Administration.

Very well written and concise description of the plight we real Americans face with a traitorous government of both parties. We have sold out by the oligarchs and corporate interests years ago. Sooner or later the people must rise and take their government back.Will Obama be the last straw? Or is that the plan for wide spread upheaval? Who knows we can only keep watching and be prepared for what may be the final match touched to the tinder box.
Thanx for your contribution to the debate.
