July 4 infamy: Republicans try to destroy the American economy
By Brent Budowsky - 07/01/11 09:36 AM ET
Ron Paul would defeat the debt-ceiling increase and cause a global crash. Paul Ryan would destroy Medicare and impose huge punishment on seniors. Mitch McConnell has said his No. 1 goal is to destroy President Obama, not improve our economy, and has abused the rules of the Senate to obstruct every major jobs program for more than two years. Eric Cantor walks out of the debt-ceiling talks and the big question is whether Cantor's dagger is aimed at the back of President Obama, Speaker Boehner or both. (I vote for both.)
On this July 4 the Republican Party is divided between the "hope America fails" Republicans, who appear to actively want joblessness to rise to seek political gain, and the "radical Republicans" who adore Ayn Rand, like Paul and Ryan, who favor extremist economic policies that would make America fail (as Republican economic policies often do).
The "hope America fails" Republicans are a disgrace, with their disgrace made more dramatic as the rest of us celebrate the Fourth of July. It is incredible, amazing and unprecedented that any leader of a major party in Congress could publicly state that his major goal is not to improve the economic lives of Americans, but to destroy a political opponent, while opposing programs to create jobs that Americans desperately want and need.
There is something strange, sick and weird about certain Republicans who express joy, glee and happiness with every new jobless worker while they brag about their success in destroying policies that would create new jobs.
Is there any better reason for large donors to give big money to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Majority PAC?
The radical Ayn Rand Republicans sincerely believe in their reactionary support for unlimited greed and their destructive opposition to any programs that would create jobs.
Is there any better reason for large donors to give big money to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and House Majority PAC?
My guess is that the "hope America fails" Republicans and the "radical Ayn Rand" Republicans may well bring Democrats back to power in the House, and preserve Democratic control of the Senate. Americans do not like partisan politicians who hope America fails, or ideological radicals who would make America fail with an extremism that is hostile to the heartland of the nation.
This is why so many Republican governors are collapsing in the polls and a growing number of Democratic recall battles have a good chance of prevailing, beginning with Wisconsin.
There is a large truth involved here.
The real Boston Tea Party that helped to create this country is most represented by names like Kerry and Kennedy.
The spirit of the Declaration of Independence is best carried by the great liberals of today, and in many ways, mocked by those who wear the Tea Party costumes of the faux Tea Party today, but are really the partisan and ideological ancestors of the British Crown and the oligarchs who backed them, and tried to destroy the colonists, in 1776.
Yes indeed, both the "hope America fails" Republicans, who seem to take joy when the jobless rolls rise, and the "radical Ayn Rand Republicans," whose extremism would ensure that the jobless rolls keep rising, are not the heirs to the colonists of 1776. No, they champion the cause once championed by the royalists and their oligarch benefactors Americans defeated in our magnificent war for independence!
And Commiecare™ hasn't even hit yet.
It must be hard to type so much while in a strait jacket.
Republicans want to destroy the economy?! It is Democrats who DO everything that they can to take from, hold back and control businesses and those who create them. It is Republicans-or at least conservatives and libertarians-who want to unleash those who build and drive the economy. To say that conservatives want to destroy the economy are living in an upside-down world. A would in which evil is called good and good evil.
Brent Budowsky also puts out and spreads his poops for the Huffington Post.
absolutely amazing!

Just a wee bit of a reach here? LOLOL
Seriously, this perfectly illustrates the Orwellan nature of modern liberalism. You can say anything you want -—no matter how bizarre-— and it will be so, just because you said it.
Was in a hurry and made some mistakes. Correction below:

We are at a point of political crisis in this country, and you cannot talk to people who think like this. Time for talking is about over.
But increasing the minimum wage doesn’t do anything to the economy. Oh no. /sarcasm
This is so far out in left field that it is satire, right?
One couldn’t ask for a better example of liberal
disconnect than this piece of the big lie.
As far as which is the party most like England at the time of the American Revolution, I’d ask this guy which is the party of higher taxes, and leave it at that.
Why am I not surprised? This reads like a slightly more coherent posting at DU.
“We are at a point of political crisis in this country, and you cannot talk to people who think like this. Time for talking is about over.”
I agree with you.
Indeed, the founders were true liberals.
Those who have co-opted the word today are nothing of the sort. They are communists, autocrats who seek a return to the type of governments where a ruling class is above the law and imposes their will on the people.
I was thinking the same thing while reading it. Usually there's a line or two that exposes the hoax. This one has zero.
I learned this through experience during the Clinton Regime.
According to and judging by their actions, the majority of politicians and voters are bound and determined to destroy the United States as a Nation.
First they put a Jimmy Carter in Office. Next they put a Bill Clinton in Office two times. And in one of their last moments of glory, they gleefully put a Barack Obama, that is ten times worse than both Carter and Clinton combined in Office.
On top of that as obama puts them out of work as he promised during his campaign, they cry "I was duped!" Duped my butt, they didn't get the freebie they thought he promised. But wht they did get was obamacare and in the end it will kill them. It will take a while, like the death penalty in the judicial system, unfortunately it will get us also, but,we deferred tothe politicians instead of taking to the streets. Anyone that expects the Republicans to defund or repeal it are only deluding themselves.
I had always thought and believed that if freedom died in the United States, it would die with a bang. Instead, the evidence has shown that freedom is dying with a whimper. The wimper? "Please don't cut my benefits". Sad and tragic.
Christie has an approval rating of 47%, disapproval of 49$ andd the polls are 6 weeks old. Christie is a Rep in a HUGELY liberal State and after what he has accomplished his numbers are nothing short of amazing.
There are no polls on Kasich, which I could find after early March and those showed a fairly strong uptick in approval % wise.
Once the benefits of the cuts and forcing muni workers to pay into their own health and retirement plans begins to bear fruit and deficits shrink and in some cases turn to surpluses, these numbers will shoot up as they did for the Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels.
You will recall on his first day in office in 2010 he decertified ALL municipal unions and his approval sank precipitously in some polls.
“On Mr. Daniel’s first day in office, he decertified the state government employee unions; in the first eight months, 92% of government employees quit paying their union dues (before decertification the dues were being automatically deducted as they were in Wisconsin)
Said Gov Daniels, “Mr. Daniels said that Republicans are “presumptively” the “party of the rich,” but said that there were Democrats out there who wouldn’t know a working person if their limousine drove over one. Mr. Daniels himself travels his state by motorcycle, staying not in hotels but in peoples’ homes.
