Thank you, and God Bless yo...Dear Senator Sessions:<br />Thank you, and God Bless you.<br /><br />I filled the message topic box with "other" because I'm just writing to thank you for standing up for the rule of law, the Constitution, and our very sovereignty as a nation. I hope you may be able to prevail on the Republican leadership to move in the direction of Obamacare repeal, immigration/citizenship enforcement, and truth about Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the Veteran's Administration corruption, and the attack on conservatives by the Internal Revenue "Service." I was very pleased to see Senator Roberts sign on with you in your fight against executive amnesty, and I hope you are able to inspire others to find their courage on other fronts<br />It is a sad state of affairs when the rule of law is a partisan matter, but that's where we are. The Republicans can't simply remain silent, pretend that the President and his party are not despotic.<br />Thank you very much for your consideration and for your representation of those in the patriot diaspora who wish their elected people weren't uniformly afflicted with alienated-liberalism syndrome.<br />Peter Brush<br />Hartford, Ct.peter brushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-47930140789331534292014-11-11T12:36:56.384-05:002014-11-11T12:36:56.384-05:00Still, it was a remarkable election. The question ...Still, it was a remarkable election. The question is whether the People is awakening not merely to the immediate crisis but to the false god of statism broadly. I hope the rumor is true that Joe Markley may try to become Republican Party Chair. He gives every appearance to this observer of being an honest and decent public servant who, unlike Romney/Foley, understands what is going on and can articulate a response.<br />---------<br />Mr. Markley Makes His Move.<br />by Kevin Rennie<br /><br />State Senator Joseph Markley (R-Southington) has begun to solicit support for a bid for Republican state chairman. Markley and others are seeking to replace failed incumbent Jerry Labriola months before his term ends in the spring.<br /><br />Markley and other aspirants and conspirators aspire to perform the take down in December at a special meeting of the Republican State Central Committee.<br /><br />Markley would draw his support from the most conservative elements of the GOP organization.peter brushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-60097311132869297072014-11-11T09:45:27.544-05:002014-11-11T09:45:27.544-05:00It is almost impossible to overstate the triumph o...It is almost impossible to overstate the triumph of Republicans in the 2014 midterm elections.<br />------<br />But, it is still doable for a Deep Red Pessimist. Mind, the election was, as Chicanos have been heard to say, mas mejor, more better than the alternative. It would be almost impossible to overstate my disappointment if, for example, the Republicans had not won the Senate. But, Baraq Obama won reelection just two years ago, even though his incompetence and disrespect for our Country and its People were manifest as early as the 2010 Obamacare Assault.<br />Obviously, he'd win again here in El Estado de la Nuez Moscada even now as the dishonest and cowardly Esty, et al., tell him to stay away. I think it probable that nationally our Hawaiian Tyrant would win against Mitt Romney, than whom a more decent, honorable, and competent person is unimaginable. <br />My conclusion is that there is a growing number of people sick and tired of our governments' pushing us around with lies and deceit. Some people previously unaware of how much lying and deceit have been involved at least since 1965 are waking up and smelling Mrs. Obama's low-sugar/high-fiber breakfast as the hideous Jarrett woman gives the roiling pot a stir. Perhaps most mortal pols can't be as brazen as Nobel Laureate Baraq, but a small majority nationally and a sizeable one here in Connecticut are perfectly ok lying and deceiving their fellow citizenry in the interest of ideology and/or freebies from the state. Can self-government endure when the people are not only lacking virtue, but tell us in the media and at our universities that virtue is merely a lifestyle choice? Celebrate diversity, embrace falsehood?<br />---------------<br />“This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. So it was written to do that. In terms of risk related subsidies, if you had a law which made explicit that healthy people pay in and sick people get money it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to get the thing to pass.”<br />http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2014/11/gruber-strikes-again.phppeter brushnoreply@blogger.com
