Ann Coulter: Explains Rubio’s Stance on Immigration

Nobody Cares

Slowly the pundits are jumping the Jeb Bush Titanic ship of fools….including the man who was in charge of his campaign. (By the way, has anybody else noticed that Dana Perino sort of disappeared?) So, the ‘money’ people are eyeing Rubio, who is young, handsome, and determined to beat Lindsay Graham in the “I’ll be the greatest Commander-In Chief” contest.

There’s something pretty scary about a man raised in a bar fighting the Chinese, Russia, and ISIS. I just can’t picture Lindsey NOT crying if we are attacked. Putin will take off his shirt, and Lindsey, would probably go have a beer. Hillary would bring another push button. Rubio, what would Rubio do? Give a long speech and probably give himself a year to consider his options.

Rubio was one of the “Gang of Eight” that was going to help out Obama in his quest for more democratic voters, which Ted Cruz just reminded Fox commentator Bret Baier— he stopped dead in its track. Don’t tell TED he never accomplishes anything.

From Adios America!(Ann Coulter, p.42-43)Ann Coulter

Marco Rubio went on a worldwide tour swearing that his “comprehensive immigration reform” absolutely insisted on “enforcement first.” Then the bill was unveiled and it said:

Step one: Everyone who is here is legal.

Step two: After they’re amnestied, they can bring in all their relatives.  

When would the enforcement part of Rubio’s “Enforcement First!” plan have kicked in? Answer: Never. As Rubio said on Fox News Sunday. “Basically, Homeland Security will have five years to meet that goal. If after five years Homeland Security has not met that number, it will trigger the Border Commission, who will then take over this issue for them.” So if the Department of Homeland Security failed to secure the border, ANOTHER GOVERNMENT COMMISSION WOULD BE CREATED! (That always works, said the Department of Education.)  And if the second commission failed, Rubio would personally write a strongly worded letter. Would the 11 million illegal’s already legalized lose that status if the border remained wide open? Of course not. Refer to Step One. But the bill sure would have spent a lot of taxpayer money.

I love Ann Coulter.

Now, if Rubio said that he has changed his attitude, would you trust it?

Can YOU say….Adios America? I’m counting on Ted Cruz and Donald Trump to take him out…and I’m sure, Ann Coulter will be down at the border helping them.

Nobody Remembers House Speaker Henry Clay

Nobody Remembers

I thought that since today, Paul Ryan took over as House Leader, it might be a good time to remember just how the speakership got so powerful.Gingrich

Nobody hopes that Paul Ryan will not be the dictator that Nancy Pelosi, and John Boehner turned out to be. The spot itself, just like the Presidency, has grown exponentially in power and size beyond what the Constitution meant it to be.

Not many people know this, but Newt Gingrich, once welded the same kind of power over his members, as John Boehner. While Newt was known as the man who put the Republicans back in power in 1994, after fifty years of democratic rule, there were many men and women who went to Washington to serve in Gingrich’s ‘revolution’ and yet, in closed meetings they were told by Newt that either they go HIS way, or none of them would be re-elected or get on committees. Hard to believe, but Newt, after that ‘revolution’, abandoned many of the ideas that he wrote on that Contract with America board and cuddled up to Bill Clinton. The Freedom members of that time, had to admit defeat and just go back home.

When did this ‘power’ of the “speaker ” come about?  According to some historians, It was Henry Clay that started it.

From A History of the American People…Henry Clay

Henry Clay (from Kentucky) was probably the most innovative politician in American history , to be ranked with Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison as a political creator. A year after getting to the House he was elected its Speaker. Hitherto, the House had followed the English tradition, whereby the Speaker presided impartially and represented the collective consensus. Clay transformed this essentially non-political post into one of leadership, drilling and controlling a partisan majority and, in the process, making himself the most powerful politician in the country after the President. This made him a key figure in promoting the War of 1812 and in negotiating the Treaty of Ghent: and, somehow or other, he escaped any blame for the war’s disasters and returned from Ghent in Triumph. This led him to think he ought to be secretary of state to the  new President, Monroe. When the job went to John Quincy Adams instead, Clay organized and led in the House a systematic. “Loyal opposition” another political innovations.

By all accounts, Henry Clay was a pre-Bill Clinton lovable cad. He was a big playboy, drank and gambled heavily. And he was very rich, due to the deals that he arranged by the power he held.

He was incredibly talented at stacking the house and getting his way. He was a dictator, but as one of the men in the house said about him:

“I don’t like Clay. He is a bad man, an imposter, a creator of wicked schemes. I wouldn’t speak to him but, by God, I love him!”

So, next time you wonder why your “representatives” in Washington D.C. never seem to do what they promised you they would do..

Go ahead. Blame Henry Clay. He expanded the power of the speakership and it remains to this day, next to the Presidency, a position of great power.
