Op-ed:
Hey Schumer...Bring It On
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American
Political Radio
Well well...so
it seems that our dear Democratic ‘friend’ Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
has been very quick with his tongue and his pen of late...so quick to spew out threat after
threat on the Senate floor as to how the Republicans will be the cause of
Democrats being forced to shut down the government if they insist on building a
wall along our still unsecured southern border; if they dare to start mass
deportations of illegals (their prime voting block); or if they try to defund (abortion
mill and baby-parts seller) Planned Parenthood.
In fact
those very threats...threats of “severe
consequences” made by hypocrites and sore losers who not only destroyed
their own party but who have fought long and hard against all Republican attempts to
shut down the government over budget disputes... saw Schumer and other top
Democrat senators write a letter composed of what they called “red lines” to Republican Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and to Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad
Cochran. Saying, “If Republicans insist
on inserting poison pill riders such as defunding Planned Parenthood, building
a border wall or starting a deportation force, they will be shutting down the
government and delivering a severe blow to our economy,” this letter is
nothing but an attempt to try to get Republicans to back down...to get
President Trump to back down...on promises made to ‘We the People.’
Hopefully
that backing down will not happen even with the likes of RINO Senators John
McCain, Lindsey Graham, and a few others, always on the ready to throw a wrench
into the Trump and/or Republican mix.
And Schumer also
was quick to remind them both in said letter that just last year the Republicans agreed
to the Democrats' request that any government funding measure would move ahead
without any of what he called “controversial
policy add-ons”...like what they now claim Trump’s “$25 million per mile” border wall is...after Trump suggested the
possibility of attaching money for it to the must-pass continuing resolution to
fund the government...or even as per the rumor mill that Trump is looking to
cut funds from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the U.S. Coast Guard in order to fund
the wall.
Saying that
cutting money from those agencies to pay for the wall is a "pointless burden" and would make Americans less safe, Schumer
went on to say in the letter that any cuts of that sort would never happen if
he had any say in it.
Sounds like
more threats to me...as it should to you as well.
Now as for Chuck Schumer’s
threats to shut down the government if mass deportation of illegals begins in
earnest...lost on Schumer and his cohorts is the fact that if you come or are
already here illegally then you are by definition a criminal for you came to this country knowingly breaking our immigration laws. And nowhere in the Constitution does
it say we must harbor or protect criminals of any kind.
So by the
government allowing known criminals to remain here the government itself is actually
in violation of the Constitution for the Constitution does not delegate to the
federal government power over immigration, only over naturalization once
someone is here legally...meaning naturalization happens only after going
through the required legal processes which illegals obviously have not. Wonder what
Schumer would say to that...what excuse he would have for Democrats now taking
part in a law-breaking activity as they are the primary one’s fighting tooth-and-nail
to stop said deportations. I’m sure he would find some excuse to make right
what he well knows is wrong as his party can ill afford to lose one of their prime
voting blocks.
And whether
illegals be granted some sort of citizenship or even voting rights...or
if they continue as they do now...voting albeit illegally...Schumer knows well they
do so predominately for Democrats... Democrats who when illegals put their hand
out fills it up with whatever they deem they need in exchange for their vote. A
vicious cycle indeed but one Schumer dare not allow to be broken.
And I hate
to tell Schumer...actually I love to tell him this...but changing the moniker ‘illegals’
to ‘undocumented immigrants’ in no way changes their law-breaking status.
Lastly, as
to Planned Parenthood and Schumer’s threats surrounding it as a reason why they
would shut the government down...we know the Republicans (rightfully) want to strip
hundreds of millions of dollars of Medicaid reimbursements and eliminate tax
credits from any and all insurance providers who cover abortions and that
includes from Planned Parenthood. But our Democratic ‘friend’ needs to
understand the true facts about Planned Parenthood and the lies surrounding it.
First, Planned Parenthood, contrary to the liberal hype, in no way has millions
of women relying on them for their health care needs...period. Planned
Parenthood serves only a small percentage of women’s health care needs as they
perform less than 2% of all women’s cancer screenings; as they perform less
than 1% of all pap exams; and as they perform less than 2% of all breast exams in
the entire country, and that particular one is because Planned Parenthood does not provide
mammograms and never has.
And second,
what Planned Parenthood does best...or should I say worst...is perform
abortions...not abortions as in the case of rape, incest, or the life of the
mother, which the Republicans have rightfully left in their new health care
draft...but abortions as population control or abortions on demand for a woman's selfish
reason alone and even late-term abortions...you know where the baby could
very easily survive outside the womb... murder in other words...abortions to the tune of
160 performed for every one child referred out for adoption.
And this is one of the things uber liberal Chuck Schumer and his cohorts want to shut the government
down for...what amounts to the killing of babies...and no words I say can
ever describe the vileness of this...no words at all.
But no
matter the reasoning or the threats issued on the Senate floor, in the letter,
or in media interviews, what is fact is that the Democrats shutting down the
government over the upcoming $1 trillion spending package is not an impossibility.
And why...because Chuck Schumer knows well that the spending measure needs 60
votes to pass and that doing so requires Democratic support. And he also knows Republicans
only have a 52 to 46 majority in the Senate (there are two Independents) and
therefore would need eight Democrats to cross party lines and vote with them in
order to get the measure passed, and thus end any surely-would-come Democrat filibuster
of it.
And honestly,
I do not see that happening...crossing party lines I mean...but the fact
remains that even if the Democrats do force a government shutdown on April 29th...as
the government is only funded through the 28th...life here in these United
States would not come to an crashing end.
And how do
we know that...simply remember back to October 1, 2013, the first day of the
2014 fiscal year, when a ‘funding gap’ happened after disagreements over ObamaCare...as
in trying to stop its implementation...thus causing the government to shut down
for the first time in over 17 years. That shutdown lasted 16 days, and resulted
in the temporary ‘furlough’ of what the Democrats insisted was hundreds of
thousands of mostly Democratic federal employees... overpaid and seriously not
needed federal employees...federal employees whose very numbers are now being
rightfully trimmed by President Trump.
But did that
government shutdown really affect the daily lives of ‘We the People’ to any serious degree... no it did not...and
neither will another government shutdown do so if it indeed does happen.
But in the case
of the Democrats and their ever so in-your-face obvious vendetta against Trump because
he is president and Hillary is not, if they do dare to shut the government down
it not only makes them look even worse than they already do, it actually would
throw the political ball into Trump’s court as he could now come back and say that he and
the Republicans were just keeping promises made to ‘We the People’ and that it
is the Democrats who are trying to stop the will of the people...the very people who
overwhelmingly voted for him and who have in turn turned their collective backs
on the Democrat’s agenda of socialism, inclusion, and freebies for all who have
their hands out...an agenda based solely upon an exchange for votes that is.
And what has
been Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s response to all this highly
overinflated Democrat bravado and chest beating...McConnell said he was "amused by the Democrats apparently
warming up to the idea that threatening to shut down the government is a good
idea," knowing full well that the Republicans win either way as shutting the
government down would rightfully hurt the Democrats big time in the upcoming
midterm elections...as we know it well should.
So to Chuck
Schumer I say ‘bring it on’ for whether the government is shut down or whether
the funding measure passes as written, President Trump, the Republicans, and
‘We the People’ win and you and your fellow Democrats lose. But know that we have
plenty of bubbles, crayons, coloring books, and therapy puppies at the ready to
go into service when you and your minions run to your safe spaces to whine and cry...just saying
and saying it with a happy wink and a nod.
