Republican Gratuitiveness to the Progressives, A Lump of Coal to Their Voter Base

I received this email greeting from the Speaker of the House, who seems to be oblivious to the fact that the only ones celebrating the detestable Omnibus spending bill this season are the Democrat Party and their supporters. Speaker Ryan bestowed on the Progressive Movement and the Democrat Party a very generous thoroughly undeserved Christmas gift. Below is an email I received this morning and the response I relayed back to the Speaker.

December 24, 2015  |  

On behalf of the whole House, I want to extend my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Christmas this year. We spend a lot of time this season asking for what we want. But perhaps it would be better to ask for what we need. We have been given so much in this country that it almost seems ungrateful to ask for more. But all of us—at all times—need more of what is good. And this year, I hope that all of us continue to live in what I consider the spirit of Christmas: a courageous humility.

It took courage for God to humble Himself. He came down from heaven and became a man—a child in a manger. He did this while knowing that one day He would have to lay down His life for us. He would have to give up His only Son. At first, this might seem like a sad story. But we are to “rejoice in the Lord always.” Christmas is a day of celebration. And it is only through grace and prayer that we come to realize: what a gift He’s given us—what a profound act of love.

And so we rejoice. This year, may we continue the spirit of Christmas by facing our flaws fearlessly and by giving back boldly. May we recognize that our way is not the only way—it is not even the right way. It is God’s way we seek. May we cherish all the gifts we have been given—especially the men and women of our armed forces, the people who keep us safe. And may we remember that it takes courage to put others first. It is courageous to do the right thing. May we remember, and be brave—and be glad.

Here is my humble reply to Speaker Ryan's Christmas greeting.

Merry Christmas Speaker Ryan.

This year has been a great disappointment. The Republican Party has veered far from Conservative and Party Platform principles. The GOP in Congress has completely failed to stand up to the Democrats' and the President poisonous progressive agenda, and for conservativism.  

Why is the abortion giant and aborted baby-parts peddler Planned Parenthood completely funded for the new year? Why is ObamaCare completely funded? Why have you allowed the President's Amnesty executive orders to move forward with full funding? Why have you allowed the Syrian refugee resettlement program to be completely funded?  

This Christmas the Democrats and Progressives are rejoicing over their great victory over the feckless cowardly Republicans. You and you colleagues have only preserved, moved forward and even strengthened the Democrat agenda. I'm ashamed of the Republican Party.

Sincerely,

-Greg
