Yesterday the Republicans, via threat of filibuster ad nauseam, blocked the extension of unemployment benefits as well as medicare monies to some 1.2 million Americans for the eighth consecutive time in the senate.  People for whom, time has run out.  For reasons deeper than simple obstructionism.  Not for mere pettiness, or the only reason being to oppose a President who actually won the election without the chronic malfeasance that accompanied the previous two presidential elections.  Yep, I own and still assert, that they cheated like dirty bastards in the last two.  First in Florida and then in Ohio and we have not yet begun to suffer that chicanery.

But no.  Not for that alone.  But I bet they like that part.  I bet they do.

They mercilessly withheld relief from Americans unable to find a job for six months or more because there is barely a middle class job left in this country as result of their prolific and prodigious efforts.  I know this to be true firsthand.  Nevermind that it represents the most efficacious cost to benefit ratio of any stimulus money we could ever spend.  The money spent goes right back into the system and when those people actually have a job, the deficit will cease to grow and start to shrink.  For hundreds of years the middle class American has been the moral, ethical and economic center of gravity and therefore power in this country and that is precisely why so many Republicans have fought for and cheered it’s atrophy.

When I was growing up, the middle class may not have dictated the national agenda but it damn sure brought force to bear.

Them days are behind us.

Remember when Kanye said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”?  He was right. He’s a bit of an ass, but he was right.  I would posit that what is an even more truthful petard is that Republicans don’t give a mad fuck about anybody that isn’t rich.

Ask yourself this:  Why would the alleged deficit hawks object so stridently to extending unemployment benefits at a cost of some $30 billion or so as opposed the literally trillions it would cost to extend the stupid fucking tax cuts to the wealthiest among us?

Let’s talk about the Republicans shall we?

There exists not a single doubt in my mind that the the obstructionist game they play is hell bent to squash a barely recovering economy, despite the desperation of the people they were elected to protect, so as to be able to blame a sick state of affairs on Democrats in general and the Head Nigger in charge in particular.  That’s right, I said it, they hate him for his liberalness and that varies, but they hate that he’s black, and that’s consistent.  It’s a completely plausible explanation for the vitriol and vehemence.  They just can’t stand that a black man was legitimately elected.  The racism that I’d hoped was over by now that I’m aging a bit, is still white hot and raging among the cross eyed, round headed, inarticulate Louie Gohmert style fucks.  I single that little prick out because he had the shameless audacity to compare America’s current president to Hitler on the house floor.  That little fucker from Texas needs to be fitted for a special helmet and given a pass for the short bus.

I’m sick of this shit.

Yes, let’s talk about the fucking Republicans.

Orrin Hatch seeking to amend the bill he had no intention of voting for under any circumstances, to include mandatory drug testing for benefit recipients.  Jon Kyl supposes that unemployment benefits  are a disincentive to actually work for a living.  Dean Heller says out loud that it will bring back hobos.  It goes on and on.  Insensitive, out of touch Republicans kicking once hard working Americans, once with a modicum of pride, while they’re down and just about out.

Meanwhile, they eat their own.

They indoctrinate, persuade and pervade the very people who support them with such bullshit, myopically singular issues, that are so frustratingly irrelevant, inane and beyond anything germane.  Guns and socialism, for example.  I’m confident that less than ten percent of assault rifle owners can even define the term socialism, yet I guarantee they adamantly believe it’s the socialists that want to take their guns away. The Arpaios, DeMints, McCains, Pauls, Bachmanns, Palins, and Rubios, who so actively foment disdain and mistrust of minorities and those of a different sexual orientation, seek merely to to distract their own followers from anything resembling salient.  From simple lexicon to entire culture, the whole construct is morally, ethically and intellectually bereft.

And it’s fucking sick, disturbing and disgusting.

To wit:

All of the sudden they’re fiscally conservative.   It happened when we began to actually count the wars and unfunded mandates and stuff.  You know, count them in the budget.  Um, on the books.  Dumbya had a party, passed out and puked everywhere minutes before he was due to leave forever on Marine One…….. no attempt to clean up even the most cosmetic of issues.  Wouldn’t have done any good.

So our man Obama is in the throes of inhaling a giant, inelegant platter of steaming, vaporous crap.

Bless him.  I mean that generically, but still very sincerely.

He did grab a big ugly bull by the horns to start, but this bull he’s got a hold of is more than what came out the gate.  He may have thought he knew what he was getting into.  As smart as this guy so obviously is, I wonder.  Seriously, how smart can you be and still want this gig?  They always talk about his balls, metaphorically, as in his courage, you know.  I love it when they do that.  To raise the issue is first hand testimony for extraordinary ignorance.  He’s white but he’s black.  They didn’t believe he was a citizen from the beginning.  His middle name is Hussein and nobody can help but embrace the irony there.  He has giant ears.  Of course he has balls.

And they’re fucking racists.

Anybody want to take exception to that?  I realize it’s a big bad thing to say.  I am fully prepared to support it.  Bring it.  I can’t wait.

That last sentence will bring the crazies and I can’t wait.

The moral majority is neither.  I got that from MAD Magazine when I was twelve.

Drinks for my friends.
