Rep. GK Butterfield (NC-1) -- Continuing the use Broken Consent on Amnesty...

Byron York on amnesty...

So why are Obama, Pelosi and Reid going forward? There are five possible explanations.

1) They've lost their minds.

2) They are very smart and know something we don't.

3) They're out of touch with the public's concerns.

4) They want to be able to tell the most ardent supporters of reform that they tried.

5) They're fully aware that the public doesn't want "comprehensive" reform but are racing to do as much as they can before the elections take away their power to defy the public's wishes.

The first possibility is highly unlikely. The second is less so, but still pretty unlikely. The third is plausible, but not probable. The fourth is arguable. And the fifth? It makes a lot of sense, especially in light of the Obamacare experience.

I have been arguing number 5 above for some time now. Governance through Broken Consent.

GK Butterfield is an en enabler of this type of governance as he votes with Pelosi, nearly 100% of the time. As a result, I believe he is more of a follower within his own crowd than a leader.

Is there any doubt GK Butterfield would vote counter Pelosi, Reid, and Obama? Of course not.

Removing GK Butterfield from office would be a step toward breaking governance by Broken Consent.

BJ Lawson vs. Rep David Price on Illegal Immigration and the Common Bonds That Unite...

polifrog


David Price, born in 1940, is part of the leading edge of the Boomer generation and has chosen to identify himself with the portion of his generation that turned its back on the success and sacrifice of the greatest generation. To that end David Price has governed America toward lost liberty, poverty, dependency, moral decay, and has strained the common bonds that bind us together as a nation.

• Where once we had a melting pot we now have cultural balkanization.
  

• Where once churches and community helped the down trodden we now funnel that help through a soulless government.
  

• Where we once had the crisp suit of moral certitude we now have the tie-dye of moral relativism.

BJ Lawson and David Price spoke to the issue if illegal immigration last month.



BJ Lawson recognizes the importance of the common bonds that made America great.

In contrast, David Price, like his increasingly doddering generation, continues to reject the ingredients of American strength that he enjoyed the fruits of.
