Not so united states

I blog; therefore I am. Or to put it another way, I need an outlet so I can't cope with the crap that parades as government. I think the Tea Party folks are right: the federal government is broken, and they have only themselves and their sycophants in the House of Representatives to thank for lashing out with the final blows that stymies any chance of it ever being repaired. The presidency of George W. Bush with its tax cuts, unwarranted wars, and drug program that profited drug companies contributed to our national crisis. It was nothing short of a rape and plunder of our National Treasury and drove this country into debt that the fools on the right think should be paid for with the funds from the “people's programs.” Obama missed the boat when he didn't charge that idiot and his criminal cohort (Dark Vader himself) with the crimes that they committed as well as the crooks on Wall Street. He had his chance and he blew it. He obviously didn't the learn the lesson in Aesop's fable of the frog and the spider.
But the past is the past and as it reads in the Rubaiyat, Piety nor wit nor all your tears wash out a word of it. So let's not pretend that this is a united country. For in order for us to even use the word united in reference to America we would need to redefine what united means, like a neologism, hmm something like the idiots on the right did when they came up with “job creator” for a billionaire.
To see Speaker Bonehead and his side kick Cantman is to witness a spectacle that could only exist in the Hoover years or perhaps Caligula time. These so called leaders are so steeped into their defense of the rich they literally will destroy this country to prove that they have the power to do it. Not only did these ill informed Republicans gave us the Katrina aftermath; now they want to double down on the ravages that swept across the northeast and simply ignore the pain and suffering of many communities. All of this, of course, is but proof that they don't give a tinker's damn about anything but bloated fat cat bankers and corporate thieves. So lets divvy up what left of this country and split it up – let's have a blue country and a red country. Let's let Bonehead and Cantman lead a bunch of Tea Party states into a new land. Quite frankly, it would be nice just not to have to listen to these idiots talk about our nation. Let them talk about their own red nation, let them create a pollution world where “job creators” can do whatever they want – let them have states where there is no safety net and the old folks can go on dog food or better let them have Paul's plan for medical care. Medicare and Social Security are often called the third rail, but with the new Republican plan, hell they can throw all the folks they want on that rail and let them fry. Also, they can have a land where every embryo is sacred, hell let them mandate that every egg and every spermatozoa is sacred. That would be good cause then they can pass a law that capital punishment can be applied to anyone who doesn't swear allegiance to Creationism. Of course, Rick “god is my pilot” Perry can team up with Michele Bachman and create a tent revival and pray with all the Sunday TV preachers who feel they can beat the crap out of all the kids that don't allow them to diddle.
Best of all, we would have to dismantle the Armed Forces, I would be happy to give the Red States the Pentagon, though I don't think the new found country could support it. Oh, by the way, with out a United States of America there would be no bombs to drop, no armies to fight, no navy, no nothing. I can even imagine the relief that would be freeing ourselves from fighting everyone and everybody. And to stop those assholes in the red states from encroaching on our land and our ideas, we would need only give them the money to build a wall around their land. I got a feeling they may resort to a time when the constitution was being drafted. They would probably want to go back to outhouses because the constitution didn't really mention sewage plants and of course some type of government entity is needed to run them and we know what they think about government.
They can have all the old shit and the blue states can have the modern stuff. President Perry can have all the minimum wage jobs though I see him being impeached given his penchant for going beyond his closed minded racist stance and leaning toward Mexican labor. Sure all this is complicated and would require a great deal of effort but it has to be easier than listening to these leaders of the red states who are just plain ass stupid. That is why the Presidency of Rick Perry is a good cause he believes in secession. One thing though, we got to keep an eye on him because he maybe dumb but he isn't stupid and the worse thing in the world is to hear a Texan tell you he has got a good deal for you.
