The Politics of Insult

The Republican standard bearer has created an entire new politics of insult.

Republicans will never again be able to claim the high ground of good manners. Good manners after all are just a little too politically correct for them. No "pardon me", or "please and thank you" for them. Their self righteous victim hood will not allow common everyday decency.

You Have Got to Be Kidding

"The Trump campaign is a phenomenon rarely seen in presidential politics, boosted by his celebrity status, scorched-earth approach to his party rivals, and unfiltered self-promotion. Cable news channels have dedicated a seemingly endless amount of segments to Trump's comments. News websites have relentlessly covered every Trump tweet, outburst, and interview. Almost every single presidential candidate — Republican and Democrat — has either been willing or forced to respond to his statements."

UNSTOPPABLE TRUMP: The Donald is rocketing upward in the polls and dominating the 2016 race

By Colin Campbell 

Hallelujah, I believe.

The meaning of patriotism in the age of Obamacare.

In the short story, 'The Man Without a Country' by Edward Everett Hale, the character American Army lieutenant Philip Nolan laments his prior hatred for his own country which condemned him to a life in exile without mention of the United States.

"One day, as he is being transferred to another ship, he beseeches a young sailor never to make the same mistake that he had: "Remember, boy, that behind all these men ... behind officers and government, and people even, there is the Country Herself, your Country, and that you belong to her as you belong to your own mother. Stand by her, boy, as you would stand by your mother ... !"


More Coming soon.

Here is the deal.

If Republicans admitted the truth they would have to admit the following:

1. Democrats are just Democrats and not Socialists.
2. Obama's foreign policy of fewer boots on the ground is probably the right one in ME
3. The ACA is a reasonable response to an intractable problem.
4. Obama is a legitimate leader battling real tough problems in the real world.
5. Most of what the federal govt does is endorsed by the American people including Republicans.
6. Republicans are losing in the demographics battle and their message is lost in the wingnut end of the Party.

Some Future Romney has cooked up for America

Less freedom for women and minorities
An abdication of our sovereignty to a foreign nation and a $trillion war
Millions losing healthcare
The end to the Social Safety Net
The end to government involvement in developing new technologies
Fewer Teachers, larger class rooms and religious based educations not science based
Oil development in the most fragile ecological areas
Roll back of clean air, clean water federal requirements
Roll back of financial reform putting us at risk of another or worse Great Recession
Fewer jobs as the shrinking government collides with off shoring tax advantages and globalization
And an ever increasing debt
More Prisons built and privatization of schools
A life time with a Right Wing Supreme Court


13 off the top of my head. Is it any wonder I am voting for Obama?
