What a irresponsible thing to say.

You forgot clean water…

The issue here is to simplify things.

1) The Bills in Congress must be shorter, more focused, less adorned with earmarks. Try readable in three days by a reasonably well-edumacahted professional.

2) The rules of economic exchange must be simplified. Businesses have to know what “is” is or they aren’t hiring or investing jack!

3) Governmental chains of command need to be leaned and streamlined. The Bolsheviks killed the Czars for some reasons that were commendable. To govern well, the leaders need to know the exact nature of their powers, limitations and their mandates.

The left always seems to run on the Anti-this or the Anti-that. They generally don’t run on issues other than women’s health (as though without abortion clinics, women couldn’t get treated for a cold, or something), and race. Neither position is strong, but they spin it to appeal to a certain demographic.

But on this issues, they lose, hands down, every time. America is a center-right country and no election of a Progressive is going to change that fact. This is why Progressives don’t last in the White House. LBJ: one and done. Jimmy Carter: same, same. Barack Obama may not make it through two years.

Winning on “change” with a large turnout of under-educated college kids doesn’t mean a mandate for Progressive policy- it’s nothing more than a “at least he’s not THAT guy” vote. When they suggest that the electorate is ungovernable, they’re confusing them with the few hardliners that actually agree with their far-left policies.

I’m trying to celebrate over here.

Typical lefty logic…”the people are ungovernable, press on them harder”.

What the Left fails to understand is that the American spirit does not want or need to be governed, nor is our constitution a document that lends itself to the whims of politicians.

It is the people themselves who govern the government. Right now, at this point in history, after seeing what a tremendous mess politicians have created, and the abyss that will be our future if they are not stopped, the American people have decided that political gridlock is our will.

When rank and file Republicans, Democrats, and Independents speak with one voice, telling government to “STOP IT”, the Left sees that as the people being ungovernable, when in truth, it is the people governing, just as the constitution has mandated us to do.

In 2006 and 2008, we saw independents move away from the Republican party – the Democrats and the media (BIRM) saw this as a rejection of conservative governance. The problem with that thesis is that Bush and the Republicans didn’t govern as conservatives outside of a few areas.

In comes the left as the default option (Homer: “Default? Woo hoo! The two sweetest words in the English language: De-fault! De-fault! De-fault!”) and they misread the American public. The public that rejected the big-spending, big-government of 2001-2006 Republicans is vehemently rejecting the even bigger-spending, bigger-government of the Democrats. Independents are mad that the same Democrats who complained about Bush & the Republicans as big spenders are even worse (even though we all told them so, this has really driven it home). Between bailouts, taking over the auto industry, stimulus kickbacks and payoffs, and healthcare disasters the American public is absolutely sick of government.

Good, it’s about time for a return to the limited government that the founders envisioned. Oh and a prediction, when Barack Obama loses the presidency in 2012, you will hear a lot of agitation from the left about secession. I won’t shed a tear over them leaving.

what they want, what are their options? What “crisis” will they use & how far will they go to force their ‘governance” upon the American people? As for guns–we have handguns, rifles, shotguns, & muzzleloaders & $800 worth of ammo at my house. Not advocating violence, but “forceful agitation” works
both ways.

I’d like to replace that with Easter Rising myself, but that’s another discussion.

I agree with the rest of that. This is about power. It’s slipping away, and that’s when the bad guys are at their most dangerous.

It’s a long tradition, spelled out in the Declaration of Independence and codified in the United States Constitution. Try reading them some day, Mr. President. Until you do, and until you understand them, just go sit down and hold the knitting yarn. That’s a job you can handle.

Huge difference. And if the lefties think that we’re hard to deal with at this point, just wait and see how seriously disappointed they’re going to be when we all collectively “misbehave.”

One thing you can count on from the left; to cover what they are, they loudly accuse others of being and doing that thing. The vast majority of Democrat officeholders and appartchniks have no organizing philosophical principle other than keeping their butt in the big chair; they don’t believe in anything, and will do anything to stay in power. And they want to call others nihilists?

…as it is that the Left can’t govern (e.g. California, New York State, New Jersey…)

And, per Achance above, it’s not so much that the Left succeeds or fails in governance, but that they squat atop the rubble afterwards.

Forty-three men have come before you in the 232 years of the United States existence and some have governed more effectively than others. Ultimately, the Citizens determine how they will be governed, not the Government. If the citizenry decides they don’t like the way they are being governed, they have many ways to grind the system to a halt and to correct its course before it founders. The Constitution guarantees those safeguards to prevent too many wrong choices from destroying the system. As Erick said, it’s a feature, not a bug. You are witnessing this feature in use.

The People don’t need a Federal, or even a State, government to govern themselves. They can live quite well without either. The Citizen agrees to form a Government to ensure a stable, civil Society. Government is designed to work for the Citizen, not the other way around.

Listen and learn, Mr. Obama. Quickly. We’re running out of patience.

This caught my attention this morning – Ron Brownstein on Morning Joe this morning said “the idea that we have become so divided and the filibuster has become so routine that you cannot govern with 59 senators, you cannot expect to attract enough republicans to do that, that is a really ominous prospect looking forward for this country…”

I’ve had it with this guy’s bs rhetoric and manipulative ploys.

If the Joe Blow understand how he swindles the American public by implementing policy through his bs budget, everyone would be up in arms defending the Congressmen that are worth defending.

If anyone so much as mentions that we should do away with the fillibuster, they are either a tool or a parrot — stupid, either way. Make sure you tell them so.

Defend it to the end..

Jerk.

“Capable of being governed or subjected to authority; amenable to law or rule; controllable; manageable; obedient.”

Conservatives don’t mind so much the first two definitions, as long as the authority is just and the laws are fair, but liberals are thinking more about the last three words. Controllable. Manageable. Obedient.

Yep – ungovernable, and damn proud of it.

I think the government became ungovernable on January 20, 2009. This administration under Obama has been so inept, out of touch with main strream America, and aloof to the real problems facing America, that it put the American dream on hold for many years to come. Regardless if the health care debacle is stopped or not the debt these guys have put us in is going to take lots of years to fix. 10% plus unemployment is a real problem and that has to be the top priority to get fixed; the problem is the Democrats don’t know how to do it.

Dang, just when I thought that my pre-election cases of ammo, and newly built FALs would now only be used for enjoyable sessions at the range for the next few years. Oh well…

That is on the way to my local gun shop…..

FOR ME!

To the Soros led DKOS crowd:

BRING IT!

It’s hard to say who’s ungovernable, the citizen or the government itself.
I believe that if the citizen help the government and the government gives back what is due for the citizen, there’s no such thing as “ungovernable”.
