Well, the Dems have done it now they exercised the ‘nuclear option’ in the Senate…

Today’s Democrats have grown up in the Saul Alinsky tradition, and on Thursday they proved it with a partisan vote to break the Senate filibuster rule for confirming judges and executive-branch nominees. The new rules will empower the party’s liberals for as long as they control the White House and Senate, but they will also set a precedent for conservatives to exploit in the future.

I am sure Harry Reid and his sheep in the Democratic Party think this was a great move. But in reality, its a perfect example of an unchecked, abusive, 51% majority, hell bent on imposing its will and values on a 49% minority, and thereby taking us one step closer to a massive civil rebellion. Its the equivalent of Pearl Harbor on the Senate floor, i.e. short term gain at the expense of “waking the sleeping giant.”

Informed voters can still communicate their displeasure, and make a difference in the near future. But if the 49% continue to vote and regularly come up just a little short, and they continue to be trampled by the 51% while being expected to carry and increasing percentage of the financial load, it is going to get really ugly.  Problem is, we are quickly running out of “informed” voters.

Judicial nominees? That’s just the beginning for BO and Reid. Drunk on perceived power, I believe they will soon expand the simple majority rule to other issues.  Fortunately, at least for the time being, there are still some checks provided by the House. I can hardly wait to hear Dingy Harry squeal like a baby when the shoe is on the other foot.

BO is going to claim he didn’t know anything about Reid’s intentions and that he only learned of the vote on The Evening News just like the rest of us. After all, he was against it before he was for it.

Republicans – How dare you do to us EXACTLY to us now what we tried to do to you before.

Democrats – Quit crying about EXACTLY what we cried about.

I can’t help but wonder if it may be a good time to pull back a bit and position oneself a little more “off grid”.  Concentrating on getting your things together at home to be self-sufficient and largely invisible may be a good thing moving forward.
