The Fillbuster Lives On

The Republicans had the votes and the chance to cut off the Democrats once and for all and allow judicial nominations to be voted up or down. Instead they decided to play nice and compromise with the Dems and let them fillbuster on judicial nominations in the future. Brown and Owen will likely be serving on the respected courts they were nominated too, but this fight over judges will still go on with that dreaded fillbuster alive and well.

If this happened to be the Democrats instead of the Republicans, and the Dems knew they on the winning side. The GOP would be crushed big time. I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Republicans are a bunch of wimps. The Dems can dance the political 'Toxic Waltz' so why can't the GOP.

I agree with Neal Boortz that the loser is this fight is the United States Constitution. There is nothing in it about fillbustering. This was an old Senate rule. Nothing more, nothing less.

Lefty talk Ed Schultz and his ever famous online poll asks this question.

The Senate averted the "Nuclear Option" last night when a bipartisan group of Senators reached a deal on the judicail filibuster. Who is the winner in this stand off?

The Choices are:

The Republican Majority

The Democratic Minority

President Bush

The People

As of this writing here is the break down of this dumb poll.

The People 37%

The Republican Majority 30%

The Democratic Minority 20%

Bush 13%

If you believe that the Republicans won, then you are truly nuts. I think "The People" is a better answer and I think those are the real winners in this dumb fight. Wait a minute Don, why are you saying the people one?

Yes; "The People" won and please pay attention to the quote marks around those words. Now let me explain this to you.

When you hear the term "The People" used by the liberals/progressives, what they speak about is the 'Collective.' In their world their is no such thing as a 'Individual Person.' In fact certain liberals have made a commitement to fight a war against that belief of an 'Individual Person.' Boortz has managed to collect some great quotes about this

"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society."
That quote was made by a woman who might want to go down in history as the first woman president of the United States: Hillary Clinton

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans ..."
Hillary's hubby is no better people. He should do a great job being at the top at United Nations.

Guess where this next quote comes from????

"Comrades! We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all."

...and this one????

"All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all."

I shall let hang a bit, but I will tell you at the end of this piece.

Now do you understand why "The People" won? It all about our government serving the collective that represents. From being Pro-Union to sub-grouping minorties, and talking about support "The Worker," "The Poor", etc etc. It about elites in the government who control every aspect of the "The People's" lives.

The Democrats have embraced Socialism big time, and this modern Democratic Socialist Party goes back to the groundwork that FDR layed down back in the 1930's, and sadly some Republicans have allowed this man to do such. Next time you hear Dems crying that the GOP wants to crush "The New Deal" (allthough they have proven that they will not do it), remind yourself that this Deal was a stepping stone towards socialism.

Will somebody take a stand for what our founding fathers (framers for you politically correct Sheep People) wanted for this beloved country? We may lose more freedoms before people see what our government is doing to us.

Keep in mind that China offically calls themselves "People's Republic of China." We know that it is NOT a republic, but a communist state.

Now those mystery quotes.

"Comrades! We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all."
Nikita Khrushchev , February 25, 1956 20th Congress of the Communist Party. Sounded like a commie didn't it???!!!

"All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all."
Vladimir Lenin, as quoted in "Not by Politics Alone."

And the Clintons are such great Americans...I Wonder???

The President should be able to nominate qualified judges that he (and maybe someday she) sees fit, regardless if their are Republican, Democrat or whatever. I just hope the Republicans will do the same thing that the Dems were doing to Bush's nominees should we get a Dem in the White House and a Democratic majority in the Senate once again. One can only hope.
