TPN—Judson Phillips: The coming darkness
November 24, 2012
Today is the day after black Friday. It is really the first day of
the American Christmas season. This should be a season of gladness and
joy.
Unfortunately, as we go into the end of the year and our holiday season,
what lurks on the horizon is not glad tidings but instead gloom and more
darkness.
What is coming to America
For the next two years, we are going to see the death of the conservative
movement in Washington
There will still be conservatives in Washington
In January, we are going to see massive tax hikes. First, the
Obamacare tax hikes, originally passed in 2010, are going to kick
in. The Bush tax cuts are going to go away. Obama and
the Party of Treason say they want to increase taxes on the rich.
Unfortunately their definition of rich is anyone who is not on Obama’s food
stamps.
Two years ago, when Obama signed the law extending the Bush tax cuts, he
pointed out that raising taxes in a soft economy would harm the
economy. That was when he was looking at reelection. Now that
he is a lame duck, he doesn’t care.
Actually, Obama understands tax hikes will push us further into the Great
Obama Depression. This is Obama’s goal. Remember, Obama is a
Marxist who believes America
Where are the Republicans?
John Boehner has been busy consolidating power in the House of
Representatives. He now has absolute control over the GOP
majority. Eric Cantor has gone along with Boehner and conservatives
who object to Boehner’s surrender first policy and big spending policies are
simply out of luck.
Where are the conservative Republicans in the House? You will find
them in the House. You won’t find them in the leadership of the House.
Harry Reid’s top priority coming out of this election is “filibuster
reform.” Anytime any idea comes from the Party of Treason with the word
reform attached to it, you do not need to read anything beyond the title to
know that it is a bad idea.
Reid wants to eliminate the filibuster, thus making it impossible for
Republicans to offer any meaningful resistance in the Senate. He has
already changed the rules in the Senate so that Republicans cannot offer any
amendments to bills unless Reid specifically wants the amendment.
In short, he is turning what is supposed to be a deliberative body into
little more than his own rubber stamp.
As we go into 2013, John Boehner is going to be raising his freshly
laundered white flag of surrender early and often. He will surrender on
taxes. They are going to go up. He is going to surrender on
the debt ceiling. He is going to surrender on spending. The only
spending cuts we will see will be in one of the few areas the Constitution specifically
mandates a role for the Federal Government. He will cut the defense
budget so that by the time Obama leaves office in 2016, China
Our spending and borrowing will continue to push us on a trajectory towards
a Grecian outcome.
We have two choices.
We can surrender or we can fight.
Since I have never been a fan of John Boehner, I say we fight.
Saying we should fight is easy. Actually doing it is hard.
If we are going fight, we need a plan.
Here’s a plan.
