Republicans in Congress should let Obama have his way

Let them eat totalitarianism

The only hope for an America that would reward such epic failure by re-electing Obama and a Democratic Senate, is to accelerate their re-education in the consequences of liberal Democrat economic policies.

Speaker John Boehner should announce that he has heard the voice of the people and will honor that voice by letting the President’s agenda be fully enacted so that there will be no doubt who owns the economy. We can’t obstruct enough to make a difference in the natural outcome of events, so why strain at gnats?

Let us make clear that we are doing this out of respect for the vote to re-hire Obama and to let the people have what they voted for. It took many decades to produce such an electorate and if the Titanic liberal culture can ever be turned around, it will only be after hard lessons are learned and the voters can easily assign blame.

I say, let’s get out of the way and let Americans have it all now, while some may still have a faint memory of the jewel of what was, and so might have a chance of choosing to return to Liberty rather than devolving into Third World status.

This lobster seems to need to feel an even greater boiling water heat. They chose it. Let them have it all. Reason doesn’t work with these people. They are beyond those appeals.

Time for tough love. Let the teenagers drive the car unrestricted and maybe we can recover after the inevitable car gets wrapped around the tree.

America now resembles the guy that jumped off the Empire State building only to decide to reverse course after descending to the 25th floor. He must suffer the natural consequences of his irrational acts before he can act to improve his lot.

Let them eat totalitarianism.

      The patient is so sick, it needs more medicine from Dr Obama.

        The problem is, this Doctor is not giving medicine, he is doing blood letting. As George Washington dies, so does the country?

          The raw material may not respond to more blood letting. But they aren’t going to hold Dems accountable if we are complicit either.

    I’m with you 100 percent on this one. Next month when it comes up again, raise the debt ceiling. Let taxes go up. Cut the military. The faster we go broke, the better. Give the people what they want. Fighting the Obama agenda just delays the consequences. People need – no, DESERVE to feel the pain.

    Mike,

    Didn’t you read his speech? Boehner has already done so.

    I don’t understand how so we held the House so well, but “common ground” is what is called for. If I were to see what the American people asked, is that they want government that will do absolutely NOTHING, hence the Presidency and Democrat Senate, and a House that has enough Republicans in it that Nancy Pelosi cannot be the Obama implementer.

      Nothing? No, they want to gut the military via sequestration, keep Obamacare in place, allow tax rates to rise, and allow Obama to be flexible with Russia, nukes and the rule of law. They want Obama to put his hands over his ears when ambassadors cry for help lest we offend terror states. And they want “free” contraceptives.

        Let’s give it all to them.

        Except Obama will probably act for a while on the lower-income tax cuts.

    The problem with this approach is obvious when you look at Greece. As you said, “Reason doesn’t work with these people.” Liberty has no appeal to these people, only security. Why should we think think they will not blame capitalism and such until the end, and beyond? More likely that we would end up full blown communist than return to liberty. More likely we would turn aggressive militarily in order to plunder resources to feed the machine, until the world as we know it is long gone. History will be much kinder to those that stood up to madness than those that bowed to it.

      Do you favor shutting down the government to try and force Obama to compromise on certain proposed laws? Which ones? More later. You raise a good point, but need more specifics to determine what “standing up” means, and whether it has a better chance of saving the country or just allowing the drip drip slide to continue. Hastening hitting bottom might not work, I admit. In fact, I doubt anything will work. But it is possible that immediate and sharp suffering that is seen as caused by liberal policies could re-educate enough people to reverse course.
