If you ever needed to be convinced that Harry Reid was a corrupt politician whose loyalties are more to the progressive movement than to the United States of America you have all the evidence you need. You don’ have to look any farther than his failure to stand in outrage at President Obama’s clearly illegal “recess appointment” while the Senate is not in recess.

There are more than a few folks who should be completely up in arms over this incredible action. The President has trampled the concept of separation of powers and quite literally taken a stab at the role of monarch. His actions are more than arrogant they are illegal. Clearly. And yet the President of the Senate, the obviously dis-Honorable Joe Biden, sits in silent assent to the President’s grab for unlimited executive power. The Nevada whiner Harry Reid flops on his back like the two dollar whore he seems to be as the President renders the Senate of the United States irrelevant on his watch. And, why do Reid and Biden do and say nothing? The only answer can be because Party means more to them than the Constitution they have repeatedly sworn to uphold.

It has never been a comfortable relationship between the governmental powers held in check and balance by the framers of the constitution. Presidents have regularly tried to bypass the legislature and more often and more successfully use the judiciary to their own ends. But, rarely has a President made such a blatant grab of power in such a cheerfully accepted manner. In 1937, another anti-capitalist, President Roosevelt had the senate in his pocket and was being thwarted in his efforts to socialize American industries by the Supreme Court. So, Roosevelt attempted to stack the court by adding Justices putatively to assist with the workload of Justices over the age of 70. The difference maker in the late 30’s was that the public stood up in outrage at the corruption of the plan and shouted the President down. This President sit’s in benefit of 45 years of union indoctrination in the public schools, cowardly senate leadership and without a public smart enough to stand and shout in their own defense.

If you ever felt your freedom at risk you should feel it right now. Right damn now. This President, whether intentionally or not, is set to deliver on Kruschev’s promise. When that right wing nut job you liberals love to make fun of was telling you that the Government was out of control setting up regulatory agencies whose edicts have the power of law, this is what we were talking about. If the President with his crony Senate and hapless House can create agencies with unfettered power and then staff it with radicals like Cordray or stuff the NLRB with Democrat supplicants who only do the AFL-CIO’s bidding then your freedom is under assault. When the EPA can turn off your electric with mandated smart meters and the NLRB can keep you from opening a business in any state you choose and the Justice Department can provide weapons to Mexican drug cartels doing business in the U.S. your freedoms are under assault from your own government.

The elections will get here when they get here but the time to stand up and shout is now. Write your congressman. Write your Senators. Email the White House. It does not matter if you are Republican or Democrat or Independent or nothing at all. We are all being harmed by an over-reaching executive and we can at least agree that freedom should trump any policy.

We can agree on that, can’t we?
