I sample a lot of news programs, particularly on National
People’s Radio, Fox, CNN, and MSNBC. For
the past two weeks, all have been in a dither over two issues: the Homeland Security Bill and the address to
a joint session of Congress by Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to all (except Fox), if Homeland Security is not
funded and if Netanyahu does speak, our Nation will crumble around our
ears. Really?
The President acted illegally by enacting law by executive
fiat. The power of the purse belongs to
the Legislative Branch. If failure to
fund is really a problem, then he will sign the majority bill. Otherwise, it is just all about him.
Likewise, the liberal media is up in arms because the speech
is something the President does not want.
Congress has done, is doing, and will continue to do lots of things lots
of Presidents don’t like. No biggie
here.
The thing is, for the past two weeks, I have talked with
lots of people in my community. They
have lots of things on their minds—the economy, jobs, their families. Not one of them has mentioned the DHS bill or
Netanyahu! NOT ONE!
So, Mr. President, as you told us when you and Nancy and
Harry shoved the ACA down our throats, elections have consequences. The 2014 election surely did. Man up and live with it.
