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...February 15, 2017
Large-scale protests outnumber weeks on the calendar since Donald Trump’s inauguration. From the swiftly planned Women’s March, to spontaneous demonstrations at airports protesting Trump’s “travel ban,” it seems every few days there’s a new protest against Donald Trump, his policies, or his cabinet picks.

The first thing you need to know is I’m not defending anything Richard Cohen has previously written, I’m only talking about one particular column. And yes, I’m sorry my liberal friends, but I will stop and think and consider my response to a column before shooting my mouth off. Unfortunately I believe many liberals have done just that in response to Richard Cohen’s recent Washington Post article (“Christie’s tea-party problem“). Many are calling Cohen a racist, and this is the specific paragraph many liberals have focused on:

The overwrought and repugnant response to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) by Looney Tunes Tea Party “activists” and by many so-called mainstream Republicans, is patently absurd in a country that already has a nearly 50-year-old single-payer, government-run, health care insurance program called Medicare. And I purposely include “insurance” in the description of Medicare, because that’s exactly what it is. It is NOT socialized medicine. You still see your private doctor with Medicare. You can still go to a private hospital with Medicare.

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.

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.

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.

The right-wing radicals who have held the GOP hostage for over four years, are now threatening to hold the entire country captive until their demands are met. These “Tea Party” Republicans want further cuts to government spending, but their biggest demand is full repeal of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). They know repeal will not happen under normal circumstances, so they must create the grim conditions necessary for Democrats and President Obama to crack under the pressure. In other words, they must terrorize the nation. These extremist fanatics bathe in American patriotism and wave their flags, but until they get what they want, American democracy can go fuck itself. Yeah, I got your compromise right here.

Billionaires own Washington D.C. and much of the conservative movement, and the Tea Party has been their vehicle of choice. They fund the “grassroots” organizations that hand down the marching orders to the various Tea Party groups around the country.

Washington Representative Jim McDermott (D) was right to call yesterday’s IRS hearing “political theater.”
