Kill Romney, the mobilization of a childish, fun loving base, and a Marxist media in love with itself and its power to influence an illiterate populace all combined to fashion the most unlikely victory in American politics. Can these folks, now, shift gears and act like grown-ups?

Over the course of Obama's presidency,  we all have read of the label given to the current congress (since 2010)  -  "the slowest congress in American history."    

Actually,  that summary statement is not exactly true.  

When we read of a "do nothing Congress,"  we are reading [only] of a Senate that was the most unproductive Senate in American history.  The House ranked 6th as to the number of bills passed and sent to the Senate. Combined,  the two gave us a record "do nothing congress."  If the Senate had matched the House,  as slow as it was,  in work completed,  this congress would have ranked somewhere near 20th  - still a poor record but not the "worst in American history."  

Harry Reid has proven to be more of a dictator than Obama ever thought of being,  deciding what will be considered by the Senate. 

There is no "bottleneck" in congress.  There is only Harry Reid.   

For example,  there have been a number of jobs related bills past by the House,  this year (2012),  the most recent of which passed through the House last June but was never submitted to the Senate;  a decision made by Harry Reid.   He,  alone,  chose to sequester these House bills (16 in toto) and [then] pretend the GOP was standing in the way of getting things done.  

His Senate has entered the fourth consecutive fiscal year without a budget and it appears that he will oversee 8 fiscal years of incompetence as relates to the annual budget before Obama leaves office. In his first term,   Obama submitted three budgets to Congress,  each failed without receiving a single vote from his own party  (failing in the Senate 97 to Zero,  99 to Zero and in the House, 414 to Zero).  A fourth budget proposal was so poorly written by Obama,  that the OMB refused to accept the proposal and score its conclusions.  In short,  this bunch has no clue as to the creation of a budget.  

What is scary is the fact that it is these very people  who have taken us all to the very "edge of the cliff."  

Point of post:  to remind the reader of what has been written over and over again, by this editor.  But even more so,  this post is a call to all to continue to be involved,  demanding that leadership get things done and stop making excuses.  

"They"  won the election.  We get that.  But,  they did not get a mandate from the voters that tells House leadership to ignore its 58 million voter base.  If you are a liberal,  do you really think that the conservative leadership can tell its constituency to go to hell?  Seriously.  Don't like the tea party?  Get use to their role in American politics.  The tea-party came through this past election unscathed and wholly intact.  Don't like that fact?  Tell your sad story to 58 million American voters . . . . . and don't start with "get f. . . .ked."  

To my friends on the Right,  I must ask the same question.  I do not believe in "compromise,"  but such a belief is limited to holding up the Constitution as our political code of conduct,  a secular reverence for the sovereignty of this great nation and its primary symbol,  the American flag,  obedience to established law, a fiscal plan that puts the private sector of  this nation on track to increase its GDP  and,  finally, a commitment to compassionate legislative resolution to various societal issues including the serious problem of immigration.  If that makes me a "wacko,"  you're an idiot.  

If I continue this blog,  it will be with these goals in mind.
