Bits and Pieces
"Politics is mostly pill-taking."
This little pearl of wisdom comes from onetime Republican Speaker Thomas B. Reed, who became disenchanted with the aggressive actions of the United States against Spain in 1898, and later against the Phillippines in 1901. I should think he was speaking mostly of bitter pills, since Reed left politics with a heart completely filled with hate toward the entire political process, Republican and Democrat.
Now Walter Jones (R-NC), who became the butt of many jokes for his mind-bogglingly stupid "Freedom Fries" bullshit, has finally seen the light. He stopped getting on his knees to take upon his tongue the tiny, yet potent, Hits of Black Acid that Bush and his criminal gang have handed out liberally to anyone who wished to stick their tongues out. Walter Jones is now against the war, going so far as to write the families of the 1,701 Americans who have died For A Lie.
Well done, Congressman Jones. You finally allowed your conscience to filter through the drug haze.
"Anger is not the WHOLE Republican agenda. There’s also xenophobia, paranoia, whining victim mentality, criminal fiscal irresponsibility, hatred of Science, “magical thinking” and a worship of Ignorance all wired together with cancerous cult ideology founded on a debased and perverted view of Christianity. So they've got that goin' for them." - Maestro Driftglass
While I usually find myself agreeing with everything Driftglass says (and he reminds me a Lot of that Renowned Deity of Journalism, Dr. Hunter Thompson), I am not a Republican who espouses any of this complete and utter dog manure.
I am a member of the Big Brass Alliance - I am working to break the wall of lies and take the GOP back from the fringe lunatics.
Which got me thinking - when did the fringe hijack the Party? Reagan could never have beaten Carter (although he might have - Carter proved again that teaching Sunday School is not good Presidential training) without that fringe. We need to go back as far as 1972, when Nixon sold the Party out. Knowing he couldn't get re-elected, he basically guaranteed a Democrat victory by allowing the Miami Convention to be run by the Agnew and Goldwater supporters. They even had Goldwater speak and tell everyone he was Right even back in 1964 - just a bit premature.
With a taste of power, the Fringers ran amok over the moderate and liberal wings of the GOP, forcing out virtually all of the liberals and making the moderates a hunted minority. They couldn't have done it without help, though - and for that, they allied themselves with the most hateful group in America. Evangelicals.
They come from all walks of life, but I won't weary you with a list of their qualities - Maestro Driftglass has done that admirably. They must be stopped.
They must be stopped, and I will endorse, support and vote for Democratic and Independent candidates for local, state and Federal elections until the Bombs-n-Jesus Crowd is pushed back into the fringe from which they came, and political discourse returns to sanity.
