Boehner To Resign from Speakership, Congress

Friday, September 25th, 2015

Under pressure from conservatives, U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner will resign from his position and congress effective at the end of October.

This need not have come to pass if Boehner, who campaigned as a conservative, had actually governed as a conservative rather than a dish rag willing to give in to Obama on just about anything over fears Republicans might hurt their poll numbers.

After having Boehner betray them on issues various issues great and small, it turns out that House Republicans were finally willing to draw the line at continued taxpayer funded infanticide.

For all the talk of the Tea Party being a spent force, they’re he ones who took Boehner’s scalp, and the Senate Conservatives Fund just sent out an email crowing over Boehner stepping down.

The Center for Medical Progress also deserves congratulations as well. Without their activism and sting videos, Boehner would still be speaker.

All this could have been avoided if John Boehner had actually obeyed the wishes of his caucus rather than the Washington establishment. Having the majority is worthless unless you actually use it instead of rolling over for Obama at every opportunity. The next Speaker is up in the air right now (though House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California is reportedly Boehner’s choice to succeed him), but whoever it is must take seriously both Republican wishes and the coequal role of the legislature the writers of the Constitution intended.

And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell should consider himself on notice.

Here’s the unedited version of the main talk for comparison:

Holy fark. If you thought the previous videos were difficult to watch, you might want to skip this one entirely.

“She gave me the scissors and told me that I had to cut down the middle of the face.”

While the baby was still alive.

Fourth Planned Parenthood Video Drops

Thursday, July 30th, 2015

Despite a probably unconstitutional restraining order to prevent showing some (not all, as some news reports suggested) of the remaining Center for Medical Progress sting videos, the latest video has been released and is posted below. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet (because of Stuff and Things), so Caveat Inspectora.

And for those who also don’t have time to watch it, here’s a summary of the lowlights.
