Atrocious “Border” Bill
The Senate’s attempt to pass off the war bill as a “border” measure has been thwarted, and the credit goes to engaged conservatives nationwide. Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, in a conversation with Glenn Beck, acknowledges the collective effort of awakened citizens who have realized that the government is not prioritizing the people’s interests.
Roberts emphasizes the positive outcome that occurs when citizens become aware and take action, stating, “This is an example of the good things that happen when we wake up,” and underscores the importance of staying engaged in the political process.
One suggested way to stay involved is to address issues within the Senate, specifically by removing individuals who are not aligned with the right course of action. Glenn expresses his concerns about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to which Roberts responds by characterizing McConnell as a political symbol of what is perceived as wrong in Washington.
According to Roberts, the defeat of the bill indicates a political vulnerability in McConnell’s leadership. He speculates that this setback could be a precursor to McConnell announcing retirement, and he expresses optimism about potential replacements who could address the issues more effectively.
In essence, the defeat of the bill is seen as a manifestation of political discontent and a potential turning point that may lead to changes in leadership for the better.
