Jumping Off More Than a Fiscal Cliff

It's gotten to the point that people are ready to push conservative

fanatics off a real cliff. Now, as 2012 comes to a close,

is 'Stupid' finally on the wane?

I'm certainly not one for false hope, but, after a few weeks

of disastrously moronic, insensitive, ridiculous, and insane

commentary and actions from major conservative

Republican Party members...

is it possible that the tide has finally turned, and

Americans are sick of stupid people running their country?

Let's start with possibly the most egregious and most ignorant,

talking-out-of-his-ass moment by far, the press conference held

yesterday by Wayne La Pierre of the National Rifle Association,

and his delusional crackpot theory that a further abundance of

guns will help kill less people.

Not only did he blame everyone possible other than the NRA for

the tragedy and the mindset of shooters, but he took NO

responsibility as a gun owner/promoter/collector/nut for

the tragedy in Connecticut. He's so far gone he didn't realize

he was putting on a PR faux pas the size of King Kong in what

was designed to be a heroic position!

Also quite fresh is Little Johnny Boehner and his failure to deliver the

compromise to bring Republicans to the table on a resolution for

the fiscal cliff. But it's all still Obama's fault, even though the majority

of American's polled (CNN/ORC) this week feel the Republican

Party is too extreme, and earlier this month, another poll

(NBC/Wall Street Journal, 12-13-2012) showed that only 19%

of Americans thought that Boehner and the GOP were capable

of solving the fiscal cliff issue!

This morning on CNN, a Republican rep was saying that

the failure to deliver a solution

 was not John Boehner's responsibility!?!

WTF! Uh, yeah...it actually is his fricking JOB! It's what

he was hired to do, but it looks like it's another four years

of stone-walling and bullshit for politics' sake while the

little guy suffers.

No, Republicans are saying that they won't raise taxes even

on millionaires (Plan B) because they don't want to be seen as

having raised taxes at all. Translation: They are obliged to their

rich donors and it doesn't matter how small a percentage of the

population it is as long as they have that money.

Because really, what could be more absurd than letting taxes

raise for everyone in order to avoid raising taxes for a small

percentage, and using the excuse that you don't want to raise

taxes at all?!?

Just more ridiculous smoke and mirrors, bait and switch

nonsense from Republicans. Do wrong, then blame Democrats

for doing what the GOP is actually guilty of. As long as it gets

in people's heads and confuses them, they win!

Then we've got all these hardcore 'religious' assholes who are

hell-bent on imposing their agenda on everyone else, while

playing the victim! (There's some more of  that deliciously

devilish, rank irony and duplicity for ya!)

Rick Warren and his lot are determined to convince the

world that gays and lesbians are the bane of all existence,

even going so far as to blame homosexuality and 'godlessness'

for the school shooting in Newtown (full article.)

 These people invoke the name of God while there is nothing of

light or truth or kindness anywhere in their souls.

And people are getting to the point of having had enough!

(By the way, loved having Shamu there sit on the interview chair

across from Chelsea Clinton and harp on the need for

congregants to be more fit and healthy, this week, while

he continues to balloon and rot! I guess that's more of

his "Do what I say, not what I do" philosophy that is so

popular with narcissistic, pretentious, power-hungry control freaks.)

People are getting fed up with the high level of 'unstable and crazy'

that has permeated and festered in the Republican party

for these last two decades. They're finally sick enough of
the hubris and the disregard that they are finally getting

organized and vocal in response.

So, maybe as we enter a new year, we can (of course) count

on the extremist Republicans to continue shooting themselves in

the foot--but not before they stick it in their mouth. And then,

maybe, the tide will just turn and we'll see some moral and social

responsibility become their focus, as opposed to merely

fiscal responsibility.

Which--just a reminder--they're not doing so hot with right

now, anyway!
