Rhode Islanders Must Shout: #ImTiredOfThis

One scandal after another is defining the Obama Presidency, and Democrats throughout the country, including those ruling Rhode Island, are getting taken down in the wake of the Obama-Drama.

Let's start with the conflict which symbolizes the deepening Democratic rot.

US House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) rankled some of his fellow Republicans along with Democrats for refusing to back down on finding out what the IRS did to conservative groups, as well as what the White House did not do for the four diplomats in Benghazi, despite their repeated pleas for increased security.

Democratic ranking member Elijah Cummings (Maryland) has downplayed then stonewalled any meaningful investigation into the scandal-circus-roller-coaster of the Obama Administration.

In an early March hearing, Lois Lerner of the IRS plead the Fifth in order to avoid answering questions about what she knew regarding the IRS abuses against conservative groups.

After attempting to adjourn the meeting, Cummings demanded an opportunity to ask a procedural question, then launched into pontification against the whole investigation. Issa offered ranking member Elijah Cummings the opportunity to ask a procedural question. When the mike was turned back on, Cummings condemned the IRS hearings instead of asking a questions.

Then he launched into this tired tirade:

"If you will sit down and allow me to ask a question. I am a member of a Congress of the United States of America."

Then he shouted, so that the cameras would start snapping pictures of his disgraceful grand-standing:

"I am tired of this. You cannot just have a one-sided investigation. There is absolutely something wrong with that, and it is absolutely un-American."

Instead of shouting at Darrell Issa and the Republican majority investigating the rampant abuses, Cummings should listen to the American People, who are tired of the litany of lies, fraud, and deceit flooding out of the White House.

 #ImTiredOfThis: I am tired of Rep. Cummings defending this corrupt President and his corrupted, polluted, and incompetent administration.

How about you?

Then there's California, my home state, where a Democratic state senator from San Francisco (Leland Yee) was indicted for bribery, influence-peddling, and also gun-running with Asian triad gangs (and Islamic militants). Yee supported gun-control, yet his dangerous and unseemly double-standard would control the guns of law-abiding citizens. Ron Calderon of East Los Angeles and Roderick Wright in South LA have been caught up in the liberal-Democratic maelstrom, too, for influence peddling, bribery, and mail fraud, Roderick Wright was already convicted of voter fraud and perjury.

The state senate suspended the senators, who are still taking their pay.

What?! #ImTiredOfThis

And now Rhode Island. I have written to local leaders and contacted state officials about the rising tide of corruption they see in the Ocean State. From 38 Studios, to pension crises, to structural deficits left unmanaged by the negligent Democratic hypermajority in Providence (including the failing and unsustainable Health Source RI health exchange), it's time for Rhode Islanders to join the chorus of frustrated Americans and shout:

#ImTiredOfThis

Speaker Gordon Fox (D-Mount Hope, Providence) admitted that he had ties to the 38 Studios deal on live television, yet refused to recuse from the oversight process on the deal, which is costing Rhode Islander $75 million and counting. Fox did attempt to shepherd through comprehensive pension reforms, yet his "leadership" has left much to be desired. With the FBI descending on the Providence statehouse, taking boxes of documents out of Fox’s office, the specious Speaker suddenly resigned. How about getting rid of the rest of Fox’s Democratic posse with him this November, Rhode Islanders?
Governor Lincoln Chafee's budget raises taxes and increase spending, advancing a determined, offensive, statist agenda hinging on ancillary interests like gay marriage and removing E-verify as a mechanism for employment. Chafee (and the Democratic hypermajority) have created a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants. But what about the lawful, law-abiding citizens of the Ocean State?
Or the small businesses and the working people (as well as those who want work?)
RI GOP Chairman Mark Smiley slammed the anti-business climate in Rhode Island, too, which charges firms a tax just for being in the state. Public sector unions attempt to stifle free speech in Providence, then buy willing politicians who pay special attention to the special interests at the expense of the public interest.

Dr. Dan Harrop, mayoral candidate for the City of Providence, is the only one willing to blast incumbent mayor Angel (of debt) Taveras for ignoring the structural pension debt. What will Providence’s public employees say when they see their retirement go the way of Detroit? Central Falls, slowly I turn. . .

A recent report revealed that President Obama's approval ratings have crated to 38%, yet at least 40-50% are receiving some kind of subsidy from the government. Excluding Social Security recipients and veterans, one must recognize that even the welfare users (or abusers) are getting tired of being poor and without options, too.

One dedicated Rhode Islander told me that he stopped being unaffiliated and got involved. Now he is telling everyone to end the anti-democratic Democratic dominance in 2014.

Rhode Islanders: Shout out loud:
