The “ascendancy” of the republican party is a trick of smoke and mirrors. Crediting Rahm with that “ascendancy” is further compounding a very false premise.
This is about US not the politicians. The GOP were literally humping Zeros leg before WE, the ANGRY malcontents, started getting rowdy. Make no mistake, if given the chance, the gop will GLADLY go back to slobbering over zeros shoes and killing themselves to “reach across the isle”
The ONLY damn way the GOP is going to benefit from OUR work is if WE take the wheel of that miserable shipwreck of a party and kick the socialists overboard. We are going to need to do this in the near future anyway... But we need to do it at the STATE level first.
This will end sadly (gladly for us). Rahm will be marched out and shot through the head at some point before it’s all over and it will probably be Michelle Obama who gets it done. (Remember Don Regan? Nancy Reagan had to finish him off after the damage was almost irreversible).
But the best part is when Obama does his Mia Copa speech. You know the one...it produced the Nixon, “The American People need to know their president is not a crook...” or Carter’s “The American people are suffering from a malaise...and this job is too big for one man.” Every failed presidency has that moment when the president addresses the nation, jumps the shark and moves forever from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Don’t worry...it’s coming.
“The “ascendancy” of the republican party is a trick of smoke and mirrors...”
This is a great post. Until this nation realizes we are talking about the survival of the Republic and the restoration of the form of government that was given to us by the founders, we are not getting it. This isn’t about the corrupt Democratic or Republican parties that have been so coopted by lobbyists, personal power and influence peddlers. Who cares who wins a horse race when both horses are cheating? It’s about saving the track!!!
Forget about the horses. They are a distraction. Keep your eye on the prize. WWJD? (Not Jesus, Jefferson or Adams or Madison but not Hamilton...we’ve had enough of that foreigner’s potentate visions of central grandiosity).
I can’t believe the Democratic Party holds a dinner on Jefferson/Jackson Day. The party in power in Washington have no concept of the single person-single vote concept Jefferson espoused and not one of them share Jefferson’s or Jackson’s inate disdain for private bankers setting national monetary policy.
This nation is sick and it is incredible that we here at home get it and those career morons who have hijacked our government don’t. William Pitt was a more sympathetic leader than what we have now. Given the choice today, Washington and Sam Adams would have stayed with the crown. It was far less intrusive and indentured servitude was far less invasive then.
Things to think about...
