John Boehner caves on Barack Obama’s Executive illegal immigration

 Earlier today John Boehner caved and brought a Department of Homeland Security funding bill to the floor which did not cut off funding for Barack Obama’s Executive Action on illegal immigration. The legislation passed and naturally this has conservatives outraged but there is no sense in being outraged when we we all knew this was going to be the end result–I am passed the outrage stage.

  This result was predetermined from the beginning: I have written time and time again that all of the Democrats and most of the Republicans are on the same side, this was just a game played out in front of the American voters and the game is known as the Hegelian Dialectic.

  In reality John Boehner played his role in the Dialectic perfectly. That sentence will most likely outrage many conservatives who do not understand what John Boehner’s role was.

    John Boehner’s role was not to oppose the President but rather to make it look as though he opposed the President to appease the Republican base while at the same time allowing the Executive Action to stand. 

  The Hegelian Dialectic, simply put, is thesis/anti-thesis/synthesis. Or if you prefer: create or take advantage of a crisis, create the opposition to the crisis while controlling both sides of the debate, and then implement the predetermined result.

  Thesis: There is an immigration crisis which the Congress fails to address so Barack Obama takes Executive Action to go it on his own.

  Anti-thesis: The Republicans complain about Barack Obama for taking an unconstitutional action and vow to reverse it. This whips the public into a frenzy and the people take sides as the game unfolds.

  Synthesis: In the controlled chaos which ensues Barack Obama’s Executive Action is allowed to stand and secretly both sides of the political elite are happy.

  However those that oppose illegal immigration in general, and Barack Obama’s Executive Action in particular, are still upset but John Boehner and the Republicans still have a little cover: They are now able to claim they did everything they could while placing the blame at the feet of the Senate Democrats and John Boenher, a la Pontius Pilate, is able to wash his hands of it while trying to console the people by saying the fate of the Executive Action is now in the hands of the courts.

  This allows the Republicans to continue to raise funds off of Barack Obama’s Executive Action even though they did nothing to stop it and that is why I claim that John Boehner played his hand perfectly; as I said above, the end game was not to stop the President but only to give the appearance of trying to stop him. And while there is talk about a possible coup taking place against John Boehner that is all it is–talk. The Dialectic continues…

  For those who might think I am way off base in my assessment of this situation, or will brush this off as conspiratorial talk, I would ask you to answer one simple question: why is it that no matter which party is in charge of the Federal Government nothing really ever changes?
