“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” 

— Samuel Adams

Speaker Paul Ryan is a liar. The Republican National Committee is lying to us. This entire omnibus “budget” is a huge deception to hide cowards and thieves and its about time the American people learn the truth.

But are the American people willing to accept the truth and are they willing to do something about it once they’ve accepted it?

Republicans took the opportunity to spinelessly cave in to the entire Obama agenda while we were all preoccupied with debates and Star Wars. bread and circuses.

From Sen. Jeff Sessions’ blistering speech from the floor of the Senate: The more than 2,000 page year-end funding bill contains a dramatic change to federal immigration law that would increase by as much as four-fold the number of low-wage foreign workers provided to employers under the controversial H-2B visa program, beyond what is currently allowed. These foreign workers are brought in exclusively to fill blue collar non-farm jobs in hotels, restaurants, construction, truck driving and many other occupations sought by millions of Americans.

At a time of record immigration, with a full 83 percent of the electorate wanting immigration frozen or reduced, the GOP-led Congress is about to deliver Obama a four-fold increase to one of the most controversial foreign worker programs. The result? Higher unemployment and lower wages for Americans.

On top of this provision, the omnibus approves, without conditions, the president’s request for increased refugee admissions, allowing him to bring in as many refugees as he wants, from anywhere he wants, and then allow them to access unlimited amounts of welfare and entitlements at taxpayer expense. This will ensure that at least 170,000 green card, refugee and asylum approvals are issued to migrants from Muslim countries over just the next 12 months.

It also fully funds sanctuary cities for illegal aliens and billions in tax credits for illegal aliens.

Any representative who voted for this omnibus spending bill proves they are not only a traitor to this country but an immoral, evil and selfish person; choosing their own comfort over the liberty and future of many generations to come. If any American actually defend these cowardly boot lickers, they deserve the curse and condemnation of future generations.

Our country is in deep trouble. Wake up, Americans. Our government is stealing from us and they are stealing our children’s future! People wonder why Americans are fed up and distrust anything that politicians say. Well, this omnibus spending bill is a perfect example. They have screwed the country and we are just supposed to sit down and shut up because these fools in D.C. think they know whats best for everyone.

We need to look no further than our Founding Fathers for what to do about absolute despotism and tyranny! Thomas Jefferson said, “We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them, if we basely entail hereditary bondage upon them. We will in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverance, employ for the preservation of our liberties being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live as slaves.”

Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Papers No. 28 stated, “If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”

These are the admonitions of our Founding Fathers! What is taking us so long today?
