Incoherent ramblings. Four paragraphs into it and I still couldn’t tell what the Hell the rant was about, so I stopped reading.
Perhaps if he had written it in Cobol you would have had better luck. It was perfectly clear to me but I am not a code toad.
He said that moving the ball down the field in short planned gains is sometimes good, although he used a golf metaphor instead, but that sooner or later you have to go for the score. He said that the Republicans had been wimps, never daring to go for it all or even for a big gain.
He said the reason for that is they remembered what was considered a fumble back in 1995 when they refused to pass some funding legislation when they controlled the House (for the first time in forty years) and there was a government shutdown. The media heaped all the blame on the Republicans although the Democrats and Clinton were just as much to blame. That served its purpose of intimidating the Republicans and it has lasted even until now.
Incidentally, it was the media demonizing Bush for eight years and giving Obama a free ride which gave us what we have now.
The author said that the present Republicans should go for the gusto and demand $300 bil or more in cuts, threaten to defund the dept of education and planned parenthood. He said they could then bargain down if necessary but at least they would get something out of it. He said when it came down to the nitty gritty they could at least defund planned Parenthood if nothing else.
Keep in mind this is a Catholic publication we are citing.
Does that help any at all? If not, I am sorry but I tried.
