The progressive controlled Democratic Party is running Congress like the autocrats they are. Back in 2006, radical Nancy Pelosi promised an open Congress. She lied and instead has run this once great institution as a private patrimony. She is a Progressive Fascist who runs the House of Representative with an iron fist. The Republican minority has no input or say. Blue Dog Democrats are also marginalized or strong armed into supporting progressive legislation. Also, let us not forget Mr. Tax Cheat Charlie Rangel (D-NY), who is being allowed to keep his chairmanship. That is why the excuse the Democrats are using to keep the Republicans out of committee rooms for bad behavior is laughable!

Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) locked Republicans out of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee room to keep them from meeting when Democrats aren’t present.

Towns’ action came after repeated public ridicule from the leading Republican on the committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), over Towns’s failure to launch an investigation into Countrywide Mortgage’s reported sweetheart deals to VIPs.

For months Towns has refused Republican requests to subpoena records in the case. Last Thursday Committee Republicans, led by Issa, were poised to force an open vote on the subpoenas at a Committee mark-up meeting. The mark-up was abruptly canceled. Only Republicans showed up while Democrats chairs remained empty.

Republicans charged that Towns canceled the meeting to avoid the subpoena vote. Democrats first claimed the mark-up was canceled due to a conflict with the Financial Services Committee. Later they said it was abandoned after a disagreement among Democratic members on whether to subpoena records on the mortgage industry’s political contributions to Republicans.

Read the rest.

This is another example of Progressive hypocrisy. They used to complain about the GOP locking them out of decision making. Well, now that they have power they are doing even worse. They are just keeping Republicans out of the rooms all together. Clearly they are hiding something in regards to Countrywide Mortgage’s VIP program. Progressives only love the market when they benefit from it! Progressivism is a corrupted ideology. That is why leftist regimes are corrupt. The Obama-Pelosi Tyranny is no different. It is your typical corrupt Progressive regime.

Special Note on Pat Buchanan:

I very rarely come out and disagree with another Admin’s posts, but I have to here. There is an article posted here about a topic Pat Buchanan discusses. For the record, I don’t agree with Pat Buchanan’s analysis. As much as he pretends to be a Conservative, he is a Leftist himself. Pat Buchanan is an Economic Nationalist, which is a form of Progressivism. His economic ideas of industrial policy, subsidies and tariffs are Progressive ideas. He is a supporter of the Islamist-Palestinian cause and a hater of Israel. All of these views are Progressive.

Pat Buchanan is an enabler of the Progressive agenda and I want nothing to do with him. He allied with radical Progressives at the WTO protests in Seattle back in 1999. This event alone should discredit him with any Conservative/Libertarian. Anything he writes is of little value or truthfulness to me. He is a Progressive with some cultural Conservative views. Who is Pat Buchanan to judge what a “traditional” American is?  Pat is a tool for the Progressives and I will call him out on it.

To me Traditional Americans are all those that believe in the uniqueness of American society, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, limited government and free markets. The American identity is based on common values, not ethnicity. Americans of all races have been victims of Progressivism. We all need to unite as a nation and wipe out the Progressive Cancer! Pat Buchanan is part of that collectivist cancer!
