The Right-Wing Does The Darndest Things...
Sometimes Republicans really, really make me mad. I'm serious, though. They honestly make me mad to the seams. And I'm not taking it anymore, honestly. Look at what is happening in the Senate. We now have a egomaniacal and sociopathic Majority Leader, Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) threatening that Democrats who oppose radically conservative judicial nominees are attacking their character because they are "against people of faith." He even appeared in a TV spot that encouraged and promoted this attitute - through mainstream America. Absolutely ridiculous is the fact that America actually believes all of this hogwash - there's no truth to it at all. It is again the repetition of the GOP character assassination tactic - if we can't get something to work for us, then we'll brutally take down everyone else and not even *think* of the consequences. << *THAT* is the true ideology of the Republican Party of 2005. So depressing it is that our country is being run by these absolute morons.
The so-called "nuclear option" in and of itself is a complete abomination. Not only would such a measure corrupt democracy even more under the auspices of the Bush administration; it would take away the fundamental human freedoms. These are simply known as minority rights - and yes, I understand that this is *very*, very hard for the Republicans to believe - but minorities do have rights. Of course if the Republicans don't get their way, then they'll go cry wolf - but I stand by what John McCain said about THIS arrogant proposal. He esentially said that if such a thing is to happen to the Dems, then it will come back to haunt the Republicans when *they* are out of power! And he is absolutely correct - its not only arrogant and downright stupid; its also ill-fated. The fact that people like Tom DeLay and Bill Frist even *exist* in our legislature is an insult to me, it really is. And its ridiculous how they can evade the truth! Its always some new attack against an "arrogant judiciary run amok" or how "liberals are ruining everything." But can the GOP congressional leadership *ever* be held accountable for *anything*??? No. Don't think of that happening any time soon.
Then of course we have John Bolton - the ultracrazy far right-winger, ex-Reagan and Bush administration employee, etc. etc. Bush, who is just too dumb in the end to make *any* judgment, is left to stand up there and say, *texan accent*: "Well, huhhuh, uh...Ah nawhmihnated Jawhn Bohltuhn for duh Yooneyetihd Nayshunz beekawz he is thuh best mayun forah thuh jahb." Yeah, real great leadership we have in this country, right? If you look back in a few posts of mine, then you'll see that John Bolton is the type of neoconservative who believes that a) it is geopolitically impossible for the UN to exist, and b) if it is to exist and function properly as an institution, then the US leadership is critical. Well, I'd agree with point b - but none of it matters (nor does point a) - because Bolton's style and decorum has now been (rightfully) called into question. And I know, this is rare on LoL, but I commend Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) for expressing his severe reservations on the nomination of John Bolton even though it contradicted the overall position of his party. Sometimes, a shake-up is needed, and things *must* be examined from all angles in this case, not just the blindsighted GOP one.
When will the arrogance end? I honestly do not know. As support for Social Security rapidly drops, there may be *some* hope left. But concurrently, with the casualties mounting in Iraq (1565), and as the "Iraqi Security Forces" are more brutally attacked than American and British servicemen combined, I can see no end to this Republican-engineered madness that has enveloped this country and has turned paranoia and ignorance into a phenomenal national epidemic. Perhaps the only good thing that could happen to the GOP will be its implosion...And even with that, nothing will be certain. Because *someone* WILL have to pick up the pieces that are going to be left in the wake of everything when this administration leaves Washington. And please, do NOT give me some uneducated Republican answer, like "Oh you shut up you liberal pussy you hippie communist George Bush is the greatest president ever!!!!!!" Because you know you're wrong if you say that, and don't try to BS me into thinking that you're right. Because you're not. The Republicans have been so arrogant as to anger me to the point where I no longer care if you try to label me or paint me as a liberal. Because I am *proud* to be a liberal.
Now if you can't get over that, then I'd think you're really insecure. Just as the state of this nation is with its scarily crazed neoconservative leadership.
