Has the world completely turned upside down? Has Hell frozen over? Well today it has. Myself and most Conservatives in this country were actually routing for Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. It sounds odd to write and even more to acknowledge.
However, as the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) was indirectly voted down in the House, both Conservatives and Democrats rejoice at the overwhelming win over Obama and the RINOs in Congress. Though the TPA was essentially passed, it cannot return to Obama for finalization because a different component known as the was not also passed by the House—essentially stopping the Bill along with its “fast track” from going to Obama for final authorization.
If TPA were passed, it would have expanded presidential powers in numerous ways unintended by the Founding Fathers of this country. Most notably, Obama would be able to negotiate international trade deals that Congress would be unable to amend, change or even discuss before being fast tracked into a single Yes/No vote. Plus, as Senator Sessions warned, Obama could potentially implement the agreements and deals made by this Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) through executive action and bypass Congress all together. So what would happen then? Guess what, other countries in this union could essentially rewrite United States Law without Congressional approval. Your rights as an American will essentially be handed over to the global elite—an elite that does not have American interest in hand; an elite who care for their own financial prosperity; an elite with no cares for the general masses. (All of a sudden it makes all those conspiracy theories regarding the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Grove, and the Illuminati seem all to tangible)
If the TPA was passed it would also usher in other unwanted trade deals such as Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). This agreement would restrain the United States ability to control its own immigration policy and deregulate the United States work visa program.
What is most concerning is that we don’t even know what’s in the TPA. Just like Obamacare, it was fashioned behind closed doors without public scrutiny. There is probably much, much more in it and other trade agreements Obama is negotiating that we don’t even know.
So now it becomes clear why Obama adamantly wants to sign TPA into law and came to Capitol Hill to lobby for its passage. With the goal of fundamentally changing America, he could essentially have carte blanche to do whatever he wants. Through executive order and fast track, the USA as we know it would cease to exit! God help our country!
Mitch McConnell and John Boehner typify what is wrong with the Republican Party. Their allegiance is not for the people who voted them into office, nor is it to the principles of the party itself. Instead, they are proverbially in bed with the Democrats and have has their own interests and self-perpetuation as their paramount concern.
Their most recent digression against the will of their constituents was to pass obama’s trade bill through the Senate. What other negligent baggage will they carry into June—the re-passage of the anti-Bill of Rights Patriot Act? Plus, where has Congress been in the repeal of Obamacare, creating legislation to secure our southern border, checking/balancing obama’s unilateral legislation through executive action, or reinvigorating the massive-job creating Keystone Pipeline?
Instead, McConnell and Boehner rebuke and politically neuter those within their ranks who do not comply with their own agenda. Even when the Republicans publically cast their dispersions against Obama and the Democrats, there is never any effective action behind those words. Just look at what the Republicans have achieved since gaining both houses in 2015. Name one accomplishment? Name anything they did that they promised they would do?
Plus, because the Republican Party has created such negative baggage, can they ever recover? Do we need a fresh new start with an entirely new political party—a party that would combine the best of the Conservatives, Libertarians, Tea Party and yes Republicans? I say some immediate changes need to be made or our once great republic will be just a short footnote in the history of the world.
