Bringing Down the (White) House & America Held Hostage

They Had Nearly Eight Years to Prepare for this (given the tax breaks that they received over the past 8-years), and before the next Republican imposed disaster could occur - I would call that an ample Republican headstart. 


Therefore, it is not of any concern , to the modern-day 'Do nothing but Filibuster Party',  to make choices that will have a deleterious impact on all other Americans, who did not receive 8 years of tax cut subsidies!


It occurred to me earlier this evening, that the former Whig turned Republican Mafioso Party,  America's modern day radical fringe Party,  are simply repeating history.

Not since former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's Contract With America revolution of 2 decades ago, have we seen so many angry Republican men, and today women too.  And can someone explain to me what do they have to be so angry about? Again, they are secure, and their Party is responsible, more than anyone or any other Party, for what has transpired in America, since Ronald Reagan's diminutive administration was in power?  Or, are they simply angry because they are not completely in charge, to do more damage, in Washington?  Whatever the cause, America is being held hostage by radical republicans, and less than 300 republicans on Capitol Hill.


We have got to take the nation back and to rid ourselves of the scourge!

The outlandish behavior of  Republicans, led by Representatives Mitch McConnell, Boehner, Rush Limbaugh, Grover Norquist, Anne Coulter and all of the rest of the gaggle of venal Republican malcontents, are the reason for the current state of affairs in America as well as in Congress, the White House, and your and my house.   

Can someone tell me, what did Benedict Arnold have on the modern day Whig turned Republican Party American  traitors?  Do you suppose that any of these jokers, ever get on their knees and pray?  Here is a question for you:  What do you get, when you cross an Republican elephant with a non-Republican donkey?   Answer:  You don't get anything done!


One thing for sure is, that these folks are not Americans first, they are "Republicans now, and Republicans forever more"!  


Their anti-American behavior also begs the question, will these spoiled angry children on the Right,  ever grow up and cease their obstructionist practices in deference to what the rest of America wants or desire?

I thought before, that The Angry Men's Party, was decapitated when Newt and subsequently George Bush Jr. and the Republican members of Congress were vanquished from power in the House and Senate, just five years ago.  However, however, they're back, having not learned a thing since the last time that we tossed them, along with the rest of the 'Bushtanista Party', from power!    


There was a housecleaning alright, however the Republican obstructionists, to my chagrin, were able to return to power when the American people caved in for the third time.   And how did they, the tyrannical Republican fringe, manage to regain control of the power in the Senate, after such a terrible display?   The answer is in the question, for just as Benedict Arnold and other traitors had sympathizers, the radical Republicans have a reliable group of Republican sympathizers on the Left.  


Here is an ironic twist, I suspect that if the economy were to be brought due given the actions of the anti-American radical Republican fringe, that even though the majority of Americans would suffer, they would still blame the Left, for America's failure.  


I wonder what would William F. Buckley, or Senator Barry Goldwater have to say, if they were both still alive to witness the current sideshow that is being put on by members of their Grand old Party.  I'm certain that if Ronald Reagan were here, he would be ecstatic, given that he is responsible, in a broader sense, for what we are witnessing now with his legacy Party.  


Republican tactics, always seem to work to their advantage, particularly when dealing with a politically naive and illiterate American electorate.  Imagine if a Republican were to walk up from behind, and stab a Democrat in the back, something that they have been doing every time that they have taken hold of the reigns of power in this nation of ours?  And what would the Democrat do?  


He would turnaround and blame the stabbing on a Democrat, even if there weren't any Democrats in sight.   And the strategy has essentially worked, for as far back as I can remember.  And I became politically aware of the American process, when John F. Kennedy ran against Richard Milhouse Nixon.  Kids, probably Republican kids, would punch you, if you weren't against Kennedy and voting for, almost got impeached, but got out of town first, Richard Nixon.


Democrats and Republicans together, after knowing that they were guilty, absolved the Republicans of any wrong-doing since Nixon and Watergate, right down to Ronald Watergate Reagan, George H. Bush Jr. and all Republican led Congresses over the past 40 years. Republicans are adept at employing 'The Twinkie Defense', when they are giving of committing murder, or better yet, the OJ defense.  
For even if the gloves fit, they are still acquitted!


The same tactics always seem to work however, because Republicans know how to push non-Republican's buttons, which is typically ' the sky is falling fear button', that customarily results in Americans, who ought to know better, switching sides. 


Zel Miller of late, and Twinkle Toes, Senator Joe Lieberman, could tell you something about that.  By the way Joe, choose which side you are going to be on - and to think that I voted for that guy before, well actually, my vote was for Al Gore.  Joe, happened to be on the ticket.


Yes, the sky is falling, however, who is responsible for its fall?  How 'bout them, bring the government down, permit the nation to default and allow the rest of America to implode, economically Republcians?  Are these  Republican guys, gals and Benedict Arnolds, anti American or what?
Will their sophists leaders, John Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Grover Norquist, Annie 'Shoot 'em up Oakley' Coulter, Rush to Judgment Limbaugh, T-Party Republicans … instructing the rest, when will the rest of the Party began behaving like responsible citizens again, as opposed to one large hate group?
 What we need are some Americans on the other side, to begin behaving like concerned Americans, and they need to begin doing so, sooner than later!   And once again, why should they learn to behave?  The answer is because, they are supposed to be patriotic Americans, and in deference to the majority of America's citizen's, they have had a nearly a decade tax-break headstart.
Isn't it amazing that the same group, never cried foul, when Republican President George H. Bush Jr. continued to borrow spend, in deference to the deficit ... in order to continue 2-wars  in Iraq and Afghanistan?   So, while pushing America to engage in wars that America could not afford before that contributed to the current economic predicament, we are asked to believe that they have all of the sudden experienced a sudden stroke of being fiscally responsible, I DON'T THINK SO.  It sounds more like 'bile', get it, to me!  


If only the rest of us had been given, an 8 year head start, perhaps we could better weather the current storm, that Republicans, more than any other person or party are responsible for creating.  I am not an apologist for President Obama, however, he is not responsible for the current bleeding in America, in my opinion.  He is trying, without their cooperation, to stop what they, a woe-be-gone Party, are responsible for starting.  


And the President let it be known earlier today, that he might be ready to do what he should have done nearly 3 years ago, to stop pandering to the obstructionist Right, and to stand up to these non-compromising, right-wing nut jobs, unless he is secretly one of them.  His endorsement of Ronald Reagan's policies years ago, gave me reason to wonder..

The wound that America, and most Americans are suffering from now, is as a result of Republican profligacy, historical elitism, a penchant for ware and the mismanagement of the American treasury. These are the reasons that America is in the predicament that it finds itself in today, in particular, the American people.  And what is even more remarkable, is that despite the problems that they caused, they are already plotting to recover the 3rd Jewel, control of the White House in 2012.  
And the filibuster strategy, has resulted in their having gained a certain amount of ground, over the past 2 years alone. 
And how does that policy/strategy work with Republicans?  They simply say no to everything that the other side proposes, and then they turn around and convince the public that the other side is ineffective.  It kind of reminds you of what often takes place in sports, where you only need a good defense to be in place in order to win, if you were team were only to score a few points for themselves.


I cannot think of one thing that the Republicants have done, to benefit the majority, whenever they were in power, or the past 4 decades - well, Nixon did resign, er herm!


Will they succeed this time?  I must admit, that it is very possible that they will succeed,  given that they, The Republican fringe, knows how to push the buttons of, repeat the same behavior and expect a different result, Americans.  

I have never seen a group so adept at inveigling a group of people, even if they are still holding the smoking gun.  They will argue, that if it doesn't fit, you must acquit!  Have you heard that one before?  The problem is that all too often the glove does fit, and they, the Republicans, still get away with murder.

As I close, there remains a scintilla of hope, that the Republicans may have outdone themselves this time, however, it is still too early to tell.  I am hoping that the American people will finally see this Party for what it is, a party of anti-American anarchists and malcontents.  If the Republican Party was an American state for example, they likely would have ceded from the Union  a long time ago, and they would have taken as much of America's wealth and military might along with them.  


The Republicans don't want the people, that refuse to rubber stamp their un-American activities (remember that department in the federal government)?  Republicants, simply want America's wealth and power to remain under their control.  To the extent that America is a commonwealth to them, would be if their names were 'Common', or commonwealth! America is the means by which they can retain and  acquire wealth, in addition to all other forms of power in America and around the world. 

Clearly, these turkeys would prefer to bring down the entire economy in order to satisfy their own whims.  Am I the only one that believes that what they are doing now, ought to be considered an impeachable offense?  And isn't it amazing, how history repeats itself?  The last time that a junior Senator from the Illinois Legislature rose to power, the Whigs, the former Republican Party, opposed him and his rise to the power. 


And here we are today, a century and a half later, and the Republican Whig Party of the 21st Century, is trying to bring down another Senator turned President, who originally hailed from the Illinois (Senate) Legislature.  
What needs to happen this time, is that the Republican Whig Party needs to be done away with, and just one stroke by the American voters will finish them off, once and for all.    
Wouldn't you believe that a faction of their Party would stand up for the United States Constitution, and in so doing, support the will of the majority of the American people?  


One has to wonder, whose buttons will the American people, be pushing during the next 2 elections, McConnell or Boehner 's … a couple of knuckleheads?   If we were to elect either of these two to a higher office, when they take the oath, could someone have them to read and sign the Patriot Act as well - I'm not certain that either one of them has ever read it.  And, this is what happens, when you have second-string leadership, at the top!
