Lately I have noticed a return by the Obama administration to the tired old Democratic tactic of calling those in opposition to his foolish agenda as being "obstructionists". This is something that Obama and his comrade Democrats in congress have been doing all along, of course, but it seems they are now doubling down with this tactic lately, as has been reported ad nauseum by their Democratic allies in the state-controlled main stream media.My advice to the Republicans that actually are in opposition to Obama and the congressional communists is for them to say, "Damn right we are obstructing your Marxist agenda!" Unlike the conventional wisdom that I hear so many people say about how they just wish that those in congress could just get along with each other, I definitely do NOT want them to all get along with one another.
The Democrats and Obama's agenda is foolish, dangerous, and often un-Constitutional. I expect my elected representatives in congress to fight, oppose, and if necessary to obstruct this un-American Bolshevikism from being enacted into law. Now, they can be civil and of good humor while they irritate and obstruct the communist side of the aisle in their debates, but I as a voter insist that they don't just give in to that tripe in order to just get along. They all swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. It would be nice if at least one party took that oath seriously.
Please tell me, what part of the Obama agenda should the Republicans NOT try to obstruct or be in opposition towards anyway? Should they support his desire for cap & tax climate change legislation that is based on manipulated and falsified "scientific" data? How about Obama's insistence on mirandizing terrorists and giving them American Constitutional rights to a civil trial? How about the trillions spent for TARP and the stimulus packages? How about Obama's snubbing our allies like Israel? How about his governmental take over of private companies?How about his making us and our allies less safe by scrapping a theater missile defense system that was to be built in Poland and the Czech Republic? How about his protocol-inaccurate and American-demeaning habit of bowing to every head of state he encounters? How about his half-measures in fighting the war on terrorism and turning it into a giant police criminal investigation?
The bottom line is that if it appears that the current Republicans in congress are obstructing everything that Obama and the Democrats are trying to do, then that is a very good thing for a change I truly can believe in. Evidently the Republicans are the only party that is listening to their constituents and the majority of the American people. If they continue on this course, it is likely they will be rewarded with a stronger minority, if not an actual majority in one or possibly even both houses of congress later this year.
Obama insisted he would be a post-partisan president when he was campaigning. He would unite the country again. Frankly, I knew this was a bunch of crap from the very beginning just by looking at his past actions. Never has Obama reached across the aisle and compromised with those of the Republican party. His sole idea of compromise is for the right to move to his side of the argument.

Well, when the Republicans did this, ala George W. Bush and the previous congress led by Dennis Hastert, we the majority of American people got ticked really quickly and tended not to show up on election day to vote for these fools. If the Republicans want to compromise and govern like Democrats, then we might just as well elect the Democrats. Hence the mess we are currently in the midst of in our country. It seems the Republicans have learned this lesson well.
Our very nation was founded in the midst of passionate and often-times heated debate. THAT IS the American way. When the party in the minority is not allowed to have its ideas heard in a debate and the resulting legislation is contrary to everything truly American, then I think it is a party's duty to do whatever they can to obstruct the passage of such bills. Yes, continue to put forth your ideas to the public so that they know what your position is on the issues, but by all means obstruct away if that is the only recourse available to prevent the United States from becoming just another socialist quasi-European nation. In that regard not only is obstructionism a good thing, it is a necessary tactic!
