You know the Obama Administration isn’t so gay after all. The Administration is righting the overturning of “Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell” by the Court last week. It seems silly for the administration to work against themselves but legal experts tell me that’s the way it has to be. Otherwise any bill congress passes could be overturned by one friendly judge. You know the “lame duck” congress is just as potent in their abilities as any other congress and perhaps more so. That is because they don’t have to fear an election because they have already been voted out of office in some cases. They are in a unique position to do a maximum amount of damage before they leave, and might as well take advantage of that. I imagine they will renew all the Bush tax cuts before they leave. It was just arrogance that caused the President to get that Health Bill passed that mobody wants and everybody wants repealed. The President can hardly campaign on the truth when the truth is that the Republicans wanted to work with him. But the president said “I won, and that’s the end of the story”. If you are going to make a statement like that you better be prepared to face the consequences, and the President will. People will see the emptiness in his words. There is a good chance that the provisions of the health care bill that require people to purchase health coverage will be declared unconstitutional. People don’t like the idea of a gigantic nanny state. The sheer complexity of the health care bill invites charges of “socialized medicine” even if it isn’t true. Obama can’t be honest about his Wall Street connections. The people know that rather than useful jobs bills, the democrats were let loose and carried through with every pipe dream and pork barrel project they could come up with, no matter how silly or wasteful it was. The democrats acted as if they had a free pass but once again they were wrong, and in November they will pay the price. If by some miracle the democrats should survive November 2nd it won’t be because of the President’s campaigning but in spite of it. But if the President loses big this month he’ll look all the worse because he campaigned for his ideas so hard.
We’ve heard so much on the radio about the Koch brothers, as if they run everything political in America. They fund all of the republican groups. They even fund callers who flood call in talk shows and message boards. Thom Hartman is endeavoring to seek out and ban these people who post several times a day on message boards. Clearly these people are filthy rich and could retire and not bother anybody and be fine. But they want more and more power till America is like some third world banana republic, run by a small military junta. Of course we learned yesterday that when these tea baggers do voter signing petitions to get things on the ballot it might be something like animal dissection they would get liberals to sign. But they will get them to register to vote and insist the petition won’t count unless the X for Republican is marked, “because of a technicality”. And after this these ex democrats are targeted with epecially designed Republican literature aimed at ex democrats. Also of course they won’t get the services that drive them to the polls as usual, for instance, if they’re old people. Not only this but now they are running commercials in Spanish that say that the best way that Democrats can “send Washington a message” is to not vote next month. Presumably this is in response to the lack of action on a comprehensive immigration bill where illegal aliens can earn their right to eventual citizenship. You know one thing you can say about the political scene now is at least “Christ” has been kept out of it. This is a Christ-less political movement. Religion, for the most part, hasn’t gotten involved. Of course there are some really BAD churches on the left, too and I’ll name two of them - Gene Scott and Jim Jones. But this season it’s the liberals that are self sacrificing and not Christians. They used to extol the virtues of giving in the Church, although as I have said, this is usually with an ulterior motive, at least historically. But liberals will give their own money to make it so they will be among the ones who pay higher tax rates. But liberals are not a “Me first, last and only” type the way that conservatives are. We know this is the first all out corporately funned election. Campaign coffers are setting new records. No matter what happens, the whole world is watching, as they say. The whole world sees what America’s polital system has degenerated into. I would suggest prayer but I’m keeping God out of all this. This is not his problem. This is an issue of the American voters exercising responsibility in November in stopping this whole nut job tea party crowd from taking over the halls of Congress in January. It’s going to be really trippy around here come January if they win. One wonders just how far their sheer gall and avarice will take them. What rights will be suspended next. What is the next thing to be privatized? The police department? The military? We’re already half way there with blackwater and all that. Obama is a tool of Wall Street. He is doing what they tell him to do and that is to reinflate the bubble and keep the party going. Nobody can see beyond the next six months these days anyhow. One might think there would come a time where they will conclude they have arrived at perfection and control everything they desire to be controlled. But you really have to wonder what new unseen horrors are around the corner. There is the law of unintended consequences, and the ramifications of their actions now will cast a long shadow into the future. A future beyond 2012. If Sarah Palin really can see 2012 from her window I’m sure even she must shudder at the sight.
