Too abusrd Not to comment

After the presidential election of 09, there were only a few times that the compulsion to rant about the many and absurd and misleading and outright lies spewing forth from the so called protectors of American values motivated me to add my observation to the debate. The election of Obama mellowed me and in my heart of hearts, I knew that the country was to embark upon a new millennium -- a millennium filled with hope, love, peace, compassion. The words of John Lennon echoed in my mind's eye: You may say I am a dreamer. Yes indeed, a new America would emerge from the flames of excesses and war mongering.
No one could have been more wrong or delusional. No one could have been more naive. Before the tears of pride dried on my cheeks watching a nation honor its newlt elected, intelligent, articulate black man, the buffoons of righteous indignation and stupidity were plotting with corporate slime to keep the country from ever reversing any of the past that allowed the immoral moralists to feed at the trough of the public treasure. Let's face it, in a capitalist country, capital is the only thing that matters. And the prevailing creed among the fat cats is simply, and to quote Mort Sahl, we deserve everything we steal.
The incompetence of the leadership in Congress is only surpassed by the equally bombastic conservative minority. There doesn't seem to be a single statesman in the minority. Equally the majority can't even come to a consensus on a single issue. The count in the senate is so tight that nitwits who crave fame and need to pay of campaign contributions can take center stage. Once there, you can see them perform. Notice too how the heat from the camera lights fills their egos with the sustenance to sustain their absurd and downright greed induced positions. There is always talk about what is good for the country, but the only struggle among those who sit in Washington who is going to gain the majority and thus capture the more prestigious offices on K street. Tom Delay, the master thief, knew that. And the democrats know it as well. This country is doomed because the interest of those who hold office rest only with their pitiful and greedy concerns. These avaricious slugs are only concerned with the next election. And it is obvious that the collected wisdom of this group is limited. Not a single one can address the problem of say health care beyond their petty positions.
So what are left with? Gridlock. And when gridlock occurs, the small rise in stature and are allowed to proclaim what it is that is needed to get a bill passed. Well, maybe it is time to endorse gridlock. Maybe it is time to draw the line in the sand. Strip these pathetic democrats of all stature. If Liberman wants to be an independent and chum around with Republicans, throw him out of the caucus. Hell you can only appease him by doing what he wants, and what he wants is nothing short of meaningless or but another give away to those who already stripped this country of its economic viability. Throw him out of the caucus. And to irritate, McCain whose Neanderthal positions might very well have thrown us back into stone age, shut him up as much as possible, at least we will be saved from Liberman's nasal whine. As for Ben Nelson, ignore him as if he is doddering old fool. As for the Republicans do all we can to put the ball in their court and let them drool on it. Take the money away from every Republican district when possible. Pull bases, close government offices, the states that vote right get the dough. And in this process, let's keep an eye on the electoral count.
We don't need another civil war. But we need to face the fact that this is not a united country. We are divided. So let's stop pretending. Let the states do what they want. If folks want to adopt conservative laws and run their states accordingly, well let them – who knows maybe that radical Muslims will like it when the women of this country are put in their place and have to listen to old men tell them what is good for them. Of course, the bible will provide the justification for nearly any foolish position or law the red states and its constituents can adopt. And maybe, if the blue states, can really get the bulk of government funding, perhaps, then we can show those who prefer to live in the delusion of a by gone day that never really existed how to manage a country. The only flaw in this logic is that the states are corrupt as well. Seems politics attracts self serving crooks at every level. Which leads me to an old Chinese curse, “may you live in interesting times.”
