"The greatest impediment to governing America according to conservative principles is not the Democrats – it is the progressive establishment of the Republican Party.

And there is no better proof of this theorem than the role Kentucky Republican Representative Hal Rogers, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, is playing in the current battle over President Obama’s plan to grant an unconstitutional amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

Before the final tallies of the votes in the 2014 midterm wave were even official Rogers announced that he was preparing an omnibus spending bill and that he had the agreement of Republican leaders to pass the bill by the end of the year.


According to an interview with CQ-Roll Call, the Kentucky Republican said House leaders will make the case to skeptical conservatives at a caucus meeting on Thursday (today) that it’s better to clear the decks on fiscal 2015 now, during the lame duck session session, than to wait until Republicans take Senate control next year. Waiting would require passing another short-term continuing resolution once the current one expires Dec. 11.

Setting aside the fact that such a move gives the recently defeated Democrats unprecedented power over next year’s spending, it amounts to unilateral disarmament in the face of Obama’s announced plan to grant an unconstitutional amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
