Republicans still get the blame for Democrat inaction

It's getting tiring hearing from liberals how the GOP "messed up" on passing up any comprehensive immigration reform that has forced President Barack Hussein Obama to act all on his own via his use of executive order to grant temporary relief for millions of illegal immigrants in the United States.

How can this be?  How is it the GOP's fault?

Well, let's take a look at one of the most forceful advocates for amnesty, Geraldo Rivera, who as a lawyer should know a thing or two about the Constitution and abuse of power as he's always reminding the public of President Nixon and Watergate.

But, you see, to Rivera, Nixon and Watergate were republican in nature whereas Obama and his granting what many see as an illegal use of executive order is not a crime or an abuse of power.  It's simply a way to address what the GOP refuses to do legislatively.

Say what?

But, why now, in late November 2014 and not when Obama had complete Democratic control of congress between 2009 and 2011?

Because as I've said and written many times, comprehensive immigration reform was not a major issue for Democrats between 2009 and 2011.  The Democrats simply kept this issue alive for as long as they could possibly to keep the illegal aliens in limbo and the Hispanic community in line.  That is, in the Democrat pocket just for the right time.  And that time is now.

Surely, Rivera must have seen that Democrat game played, but because the GOP has had to walk a thin line so as not to upset the TEA Party representatives within their caucus, Rivera goes right to the GOP jugular blaming them for all this nonsense.

Thus he began his silly rant, "Republicans had it coming" followed by "They allowed their House Leadership to be rendered irrelevant by anti-immigration radicals like Steve King of Iowa and Mo Brooks of Alabama.  The right wing herd and its supporting cast of screamers like Matt Drudge and Judicial Watch are indignant because they claim the president won't wait for the legislative process to work; that what Mr. Obama is doing is unconstitutional, imperious and impetuous.  On both counts, that is total horseshit."

So two weeks after the most stunning mid-term election in recent history where the president's own Democrat party got trounced in congress and on the state level, Rivera tries to save Obama's presidency and presidential action by blaming the republican party.  How dubious of him!

It wasn't too long ago, in fact, it was on November 19, 2012 (two weeks after his re-election), when while in Myanmar (which has been struggling with democracy after years of military rule), Obama told the audience, "As president, I cannot just impose my will on Congress -- the Congress of the United States -- even though sometimes I wish I could," he said.  Obama continued, "The legislative branch has its own powers and its own prerogatives, and so they check my power and balance my power."

So, in essence, Obama speaks with two different teleprompters depending on the audience at hand. While traveling, he generously promotes democracy.  But in his own country, he practices and relishes autocratic partisan rule.  And that is just fine with Rivera, so long as the president is a liberal Democrat like he is.

Writes Rivera, "The GOP has zero intention to do anything on immigration except build higher fences and hire more border guards."

Well, the Democrat party also proved they had zero intention to do anything on immigration, as well when both Speaker Nancy Pelosi ran the House and Reid ran the senate together during Obama's first two years in office.

Indeed Geraldo, the GOP is listening to the vast majority of Americans who oppose amnesty and want our borders secured with more border patrol officers securing our borders.  Is there a problem with that?

I'll end on this note.  I do think that Obama has gone rogue because he doesn't have much of a legacy despite six years in office.  The economy has been sputtering along despite Wall Street reaching record highs, but that is only due to the Federal Reserve's Quantitative Easing policy.

The trillion dollar Porkulus passed in 2009 hasn't provided the shovel ready jobs Obama and vice president Joe Biden promised it would have.

Billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to green companies that have gone belly-up have gone to waste with not a whisper from the liberal mainstream media or the Democrat leadership.

And we still don't have accurate figures as to how many Americans have enrolled and paid for ObamaCare policies; or how many Americans have lost their health insurance plans because of ObamaCare; or why the supposed 30 million Americans who were uninsured prior to ObamaCare have not signed up?

Lastly, and I can go on forever, I'm not fooled by the unemployment numbers coming out of the Department of Labor.  We need a true account of unemployment in the United States.  Let's pray the GOP can get to the bottom of it and many other matters during the 114th Congress.

May God Bless America!!!
