Political Insanity
I’ve been trying to give my friends a rest from my rantings lately, but there is so very much bull excrement flying around the inner beltway of Washington and the political scene that it is hard to just sit still and I find my fingers must be heard. A brief roundup:
DeLay: So “the hammer” has been re-nominated by the geniuses that live south of Houston and received 62% of the vote in the Republican primary. One thing you have to say about these gun toting, evangelical, right-wing radicals is: they are consistent. Consistently stupid. Unlike the voters of Iraq who held up their ink stained index finger to show they voted, Mr. DeLay’s constituents are holding up their next finger over, to show their contempt for honest government. Of course there is no surprise there.
Cheney: Like the groundhog, the American Rasputin has crawled out of his secret cave long enough to threaten that there will be six more weeks, months or years of killing in Iraq. But don’t worry, the insurgency is in “it’s last throes” even though attacks and deaths are at a record pace. But don’t speak up against his predictions, he might shoot you, and it will be your own fault.
Bush: Don’t ask him anything about Iraq, Iran, Hurricane Katrina, the UAE port deal, the outrageously increasing national debt, American Constitutional guarantees of privacy, tax relief for the rich, reduction of veteran’s benefits, FISA, so much of the hatred that he has caused throughout the world for anything American (except our money), or the imperial presidency. Aw shucks folks, what’s a good old boy gonna do, except say: 1) he wasn’t there; 2) didn’t know about it in advance; 3) he’s a “war-time president”, 4) he won’t “change course”; and; 5) if you oppose what he says you’re one of those liberals who is supporting terrorism, giving aid and comfort to our enemy and he’ll have Uncle Dick shoot you. And remember, drill more oil so his family and friends can make more money off of our “addiction to oil.”
Frist: Now comes the good doctor who watched a video tape, medically diagnosed (incorrectly) a brain dead woman, and as leader of the Senate rushed through legislation to “save her life.” We all know how that ended. Of course that’s old news. But now, he is seeking accommodation with Mr. Bush and the White House, to have a 45 day investigation of the UAE ports sale, run by the self serving administration. What ever happened to the man who wanted to solve things by having “up or down votes?” This darling of the right-wing evangelicals will do anything to please these religious fanatics who want to control our country, just so he can have their backing for a presidential run.
Republican Controlled Congress: They renewed the Patriot Act with a couple of band-aid oversights. Be careful out there, or else the thought police will get you. Enough said.
Now how do I explain all this idiocy to my grandchildren who are inheriting all the debt, destruction, world hatred, and problems caused by this inept, secret government?
