I think it's very embarrassing that the 113th Congress has enacted only 52 pieces of legislation so far and only plan on working 113 days next year. I guess the Republicans figure that doing nothing is good strategy! That's what they do best, nothing!!

I believe that there is an informal but nevertheless effective organization which brings these issues to the fore in waves. The informal contributors to this organization include academics, fellow travelers in the news media, the usual suspects in Congress, a few celebrities, and much of Hollywood and morning television. This is how the president won reelection campaigning on condoms and how the Democrats took the governorship in Virginia.

The point is that Conservatives dare not dismiss these patently absurd appeals of Barack Obama because leftists manage to coordinate all the forces that move society while we can find no traction because we are literally ignored to death or disparaged by the same forces.

Consider yesterday's hearing in the House on the unconstitutional and dangerous usurpations of powers by Obama which threaten our personal liberty and our constitutional system. Dana Milbank in the Washington Post writes an article satirizing the Republicans for the absurdity of their preoccupation because it is not politically viable to expect impeachment and mocking them for throwing red meat to their own base. Not a word does he have to waste on whether there might be substance to the charges and the threats to our liberty which were recounted at the hearing. What should be put out there by the media to be debated by the people is simply rendered taboo by that same media, and the music plays on.

But when the President of the United States utters flat-out Marxist lies the entire panoply of the left will coordinate to force the message through to the consciousness of the most ill-informed voter. We will soon see the economic version of Sandra Fluke become the focus of the media.

We need men like Senators Paul, Cruz, and Lee who are possessed of the forensic skills and the courage to use them to break through and fight our corner. That task is daunting enough in the face of the media hostility but it is impossible with the Boehners and the McConnells of the Republican Party feeding that media with ammunition to undercut heroes like Ted Cruz.
