Decepti-Cons and RINOs

Apparently the RINOs and Decipti-Cons are unable to take the job of cutting the budget seriously because as terrible as I thought the Republican's "Pledge to America" was when it proclaimed to cut the budget back to 2008 levels; the latest news from the Republican leadership makes it worse. You may be wondering how it can get any worse since that small of a cut is a drop in the bucket but trust me it is worse than expected. Those who were the cheerleaders of the Republican party and assured us that the Republicans had learned from their mistakes share part of the blame. The plan to cut the budget back to 2008 levels as laid out in the "Pledge to America" seems to have a few hidden disclaimers in it. Those disclaimers are as follows:

1) Budget cuts don't include cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, "security" funding, or non-discretionary funding.

2) Budget cuts will be phased in and will be fully in place in 2015.

3) These budget cuts are subject to change without prior notice or warning or if we don't have the stones to go through with it or if we lose power or if we have a Decepti-Con in the White House that will rubber stamp anything we want or if the next Decepti-Con president can think of some way to put us deeper in debt.

Alright, now that those disclaimers are out take another look at the first disclaimer. Notice that the cuts won't apply to Social Security so that black hole will continue to be insolvent. Medicare see the previous sentence. Medicaid, we can't expect the individual States to take care of their own poor so we'll do it for them for a small fee.

As offensive as those three are, the fourth area that is off limits is "security" funding. What, pray-tell, could that cover? Of course that will include most of the budget from defense to TSA. I know that defense spending is supposed to be the sacred cow of the Republicans but we can cut defense spending without risking our safety and security. Why do we "need" a sizable defense budget? If you ask any of the RINOs and Decepti-Cons, when we're completely out of Iraq; except for the bases that we will hold "just in case" and the permanent security force left on the ground; and once we are almost through with Afghanistan, we will bomb Iran into the stone age and set up a government that we approve of in our quest to bring democracy to every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the world. In addition to defense, security funding will include the Department of Homeland (in)Security, ICE, Border Patrol, TSA, FBI, and any other agency that may remotely be tied to "security."

Now the second disclaimer is so blatantly offensive that it doesn't need to be expounded upon further.

The last disclaimer isn't one that will actually be said but anyone who has been following politics for more than a couple years and who is honest know that the Republican leadership has the back bone of a jellyfish and doesn't have the guts to withstand the pressures of the "mainstream" media. For some reason; probably because they don't really believe in a limited government; anytime the Republicans are criticized for wanting to cut spending, they are unable to make a principled and coherent argument as to why they are cutting spending or why they want to reduce taxes or any other idea that may get us ever closer to obeying the Constitution.

When will the Decepti-Cons take their oath seriously and err on the side of liberty? When will the establishment Republicans see the error of their ways in fighting never-ending wars and imposing our will around the globe? When will the Republicans do what is necessary and defund 90%+ of federal agencies and departments, most of which are unconstitutional regardless of what the Supreme Court has ruled? When will Republicans yell, "Stop!" at this runaway freight train that is the federal government?

It would be nice if this were to happen, but truth be told, the establishment Republicans, RINOs, and Decepti-Cons don't really want a limited government, they want to be in charge of the government and will only pay lip service to limited government only inasmuch as it keeps them in power. When they see it as a liability, they will scuttle those views in favor of a large, overbearing government.
