"There will be no unconditional surrender," says Boehner

sounding like he's already lost the battle. According to the rules of war, he does not get to write the conditions of his surrender. I am hereby reminding him of the last time someone said no to "unconditional surrender." We went "Hiroshima" on their ass.

And who the hell does he think he is declaring war on the American people anyway? Any member of Congress standing with the GOP against the government of the United States is in violation of their oath of office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.


Here is the law they are violating:
Federal law regulating oath of office by government officials is divided into four parts along with an executive order which further defines the law for purposes of enforcement. 5 U.S.C. 3331, provides the text of the actual oath of office members of Congress are required to take before assuming office. 5 U.S.C. 3333 requires members of Congress sign an affidavit that they have taken the oath of office required by 5 U.S.C. 3331 and have not or will not violate that oath of office during their tenure of office as defined by the third part of the law, 5 U.S.C. 7311 which explicitly makes it a federal criminal offense (and a violation of oath of office) for anyone employed in the United States Government (including members of Congress) to “advocate the overthrow of our constitutional form of government”. The fourth federal law, 18 U.S.C. 1918 provides penalties for violation of oath office described in 5 U.S.C. 7311 which include: (1) removal from office and; (2) confinement or a fine.

The definition of “advocate” is further specified in Executive Order 10450 which for the purposes of enforcement supplements 5 U.S.C. 7311. One provision of Executive Order 10450 specifies it is a violation of 5 U.S.C. 7311 for any person taking the oath of office to advocate “the alteration ... of the form of the government of the United States by unconstitutional means.” Our form of government is defined by the Constitution of the United States. It can only be “altered” by constitutional amendment. Thus, according to Executive Order 10450 (and therefore 5 U.S. 7311) any act taken by government officials who have taken the oath of office prescribed by 5 U.S.C. 3331which alters the form of government other by amendment, is a criminal violation of the 5 U.S.C. 7311.

Boehner, you are a man without a country. So you can take your flag pin and all your patriot hogwash and shove it up the place where the sun don't turn you orange! You have declared war on Americans. You and the rest of your traitorous crew. And come October 15, you will be standing eyeball-to-eyeball with your fellow Americans. And we will make you blink. Believe it. BONZAI Boehner.

I appreciate how your laid out your case. Thank you.

I find the crime or no crime discussions fascinating, but I will remain Switzerland during the crossfire. Both sides make great arguments.

I think the Democrats went after organized crime under attorney general Bobby Kennedy so I guess they would have the guts to go after these guys, but this mafia called the Tea Party scares the mightiest of us EXCEPT President Obama. He is not scared, which makes me scared for him. I pray for him as he struggles against these haters.

Yes their will. And you sir will make it. soulfully, Humbly, and with the keenest of sincerity. Other wise they will charge you with sedition and treason. You see sir, we the little people, you know the voters, can go from following you to chasing you at the drop of a hat. So as I have stated, We're listening.

Able was I before I saw Elba?

I vote to send Boehner far away. (with apologies to Malvina Reynolds)

We don't need the GOP,
We don't need the bums,
We don't need to have them round
The no-good worthless crumbs.

They can come to see us
When we need to clean their messes,
Otherwise they can stay at home
And read about Ronald Reagan.

We don't care about them,
We can do without them,
They'll look cute in a bathing suit
On a billboard in Manhattan.

We don't need the GOP,
We don't need the bums,
We don't need to have them round
The dirty lowdown crumbs.

They can come to see us
When they finish bellyaching,
Otherwise they can stay at home
And whine about their taxes.

We don't care about them,
We can do without them,
They'll look cute in a bathing suit
On a billboard in Wisconsin.

We don't need the GOP,
We don't need the bums,
We don't need to have them round
The lowdown dirty crumbs.

The can come to see us
At the soup kitchens and shelters
Otherwise they can stay at home
And watch themselves on Fox News.

We don't care about them,
We can do without them,
They'll look cute in a bathing suit
On a billboard in Tierra del Fuego.

Boehner thinks he can ride his warhorse Comanche (the US government) to destruction, but little does he know that Comanche will be the only survivor in the end standing alone in a field of dead Republican dreams.



May Comanche the Brave Horse survive the destruction wreaked by the GOP.
