Five years ago when Donald Trump road that escalator and announced his candidacy, everyone including most people who are now Trump-for-lifers, believed it was a stunt, and he was clearly unqualifie...October 6, 2013
Yesterday the House passed (407-0) the Federal Employee Retroactive Pay Fairness Act, which will pay furloughed federal employees back pay once the shutdown ends. You could instead call this bill the Make Government Less Efficient Act, and it’s sponsored by congressional Republicans.

The Tea Party emerged almost simultaneously with Barack Obama pledging the oath of office in January 2009. Since that time, the Tea Party has threatened to primary many moderate Republicans, and won. And now the Tea Party is dragging the carcass of the Republican Party around town, wearing it like an Edgar suit.

Republicans say government is the problem, then they get elected into office and prove it, and then they blame others for it.

I really wish moderate conservatives could be honest with themselves and with the rest of us. I wish they could look past their ideology to see the people they support with their votes or their silence are not fellow conservatives. I’m talking about Tea Party Republicans who control the GOP and who are responsible for the government shutdown. These dissidents are no conservatives. They are radicals. I used to call them right-wing radicals but they are beyond left and right. In fact, some of them could be considered anarchists, at least when it comes to formal governing. They might still believe in an order of hierarchy along other avenues, like patriarchy, but when it comes to government, especially the federal government, they are partisan firebrand agitators worshiping at the altar of demagoguery and malcontent, while speaking the language of cynicism.

And it’s quite likely some Republicans may require simultaneous treatment for the very dangerous Obama Derangement Syndrome (ODS). Let me kick off the process by offering these essential steps.

There are some who are climate change deniers. No amount of evidence will ever convince them anthropogenic global warming is real and happening right now. Then there are others who may choose to play the role of devil’s advocate, even if they fully accept climate change is real. When a UN report shows 95% certainty that climate change is real and humans are the cause, the devil’s advocate says there is still a 5% chance they are wrong, so therefore people who say they are skeptics (including out-and-out deniers) have a valid point. — No, they don’t, and here’s why.

You get a cookie to go along with your coffee if you can name the movie this was from. 🙂

Martin Bashir offers up a biting and accurate critique of the modern Republican Party. They reject the social contract in favor of selfishness. And nothing could be more selfish than being a filthy rich billionaire who for ideological purposes produces an ad telling young adults to forgo health care insurance.

To understand our current predicament you must first examine how we got here. And while there are potentially endless influences that contributed to the current impasse in Washington, I do think there are a few big general influences that are largely to blame for the gridlock and obstruction that passes for governance in America.
