Don't Send in Any More Clowns

The Political clown shows of the two parties used to be somewhat interchangeable. Each party depended on similar types of moronic and hypocritical behavior. That all changed when the nation elected a black man President of the United States of America in 2008. 

Most of America saw this as a positive thing, a move in the right direction. Unfortunately, it fired up the die hard Right Wing Racists and re-kindled their White Nationalism which apparently had been lying dormant these past many years. Racist White men and women popped out of the woodwork; certainly more than anyone thought were out there. They are emboldened by the recent atmosphere of hate and are defending themselves against perceived attacks on their entitlement of racial and cultural superiority. Seeing a black man and his family in the White House was all of a sudden, patriotic and religious blasphemy.

This simmering cauldron of White Wing hate and discontent in the GOP finally bubbled over when, in 2015-16, a Great White Bwana with golden locks assured his lowlife racist Bible thumping sycophants on the Right that he was here to save their day for them and nobody else.

This is where the clowns of the Left and the clowns of the Right parted ways.

Today, 15 years after that black man was elected the first time, the head clowns of the Right and the GOP have completely dumped any hint they want to actually govern. Now their goal is to obstruct, retract, and limit many of the rights we have come to take for granted. 

The leadership of the Right doesn't even pretend anymore to being responsible stewards of our trust. These new age spineless guardians of Scum and Sleaze now play to the interests of the extremists from the white populations. These Righteously Indignant Nincompoops would rather legislate what we read, how we have children, who can wear skirts, who can't, who can vote and who cannot. Dealing with budgets, taxes, healthcare, infrastructure, defense and the rest of the nuts and bolts of government that smooth our way forward have only token attention paid to them. 

Republican leadership has embraced immoral and unethical behavior to attain their culturally regressive policies and goals; more so than any of the sleaze currently found on the Left. And in the meantime, they do everything they can to hinder the Democrats' efforts to actually do the grunt work of governing.

Yeah,  the White Wing Clown Show is a bastion alright. Just not the honest, upstanding moral bastion their talking heads would have us believe they are. They are scum and they know it. What's worse is, they do not care.

I used to hope the GOP would get their shit together, but I gave up the day the traitor Ronald Reagan was elected. Now I hope to live long enough to piss on their grave.

I feel better now. I guess I took too long a break from venting my political frustrations.

Keep it 'tween the ditches ..............................
