The End Of The Republican Party ?

And The American People Helped

by TIME

In the polls, the American people support the Republicans by about 20%. More in some parts of the country and less in other parts of the country. The Republican party is quickly becoming as important as the Green, Communist, or Socialist parties. They have no one to blame. but themselves.

It's a combination effort needed to destroy the second biggest political party in the country, and they will probably never die out completely, at least not the radical right wingers. There will always be the haters of the party who still believe that the destiny of America, means white America.

Most importantly, in the last 30 years the conservative philosophy of less taxes, less government regulation, and smaller government has become a proven failure. Not that the Republicans ever reached success at that stated philosophy, and that was just one reason the American people have rejected the honesty of their ideology.

President Bush was the foreseer of the failure of their economic utopia, when he declared it "Voodoo Economics." It was not an economic ideology (trickle down) invented by President Reagan. It was based in the sensible idea from hundreds of years ago, that government was to serve the people and to do that it should stay out of the way, as its people would be the driving force of its economy through their capitalistic businesses.

Having abused that ideology and their power while in office, they have wounded themselves and earned the hostility of the American people. They used hate, fear, intimidation, and illegalities in the performance of their official duties. They have been given more than a fair chance (over 30 years) to prove themselves, and they have failed.

Not only have they failed, but they have left America in worse shape than at any other time in our History. For the first time, Americans will leave a country to their offspring that is not better than it was given to them. Our ancestors must be rolling in their graves, and for good reason.

It is the American peoples reaction to their mismanagement that leaves Republicans out of the serious political discussion. Especially when their discussion of the issues includes the hate speech of "racist" as the weapon they choose to debate ideas and issues. Not only weak, but harmful to the unity of our society.

Now we can add a new nail in the coffin of the Republican party. Our new President is a very good politician. He has seen that the American people have rejected the Republicans for their exclusive, extremist ideology and has decided to help them destroy themselves.

President Obama is appointing the few Republican moderates left in the Republican party to work in his administration. This will effectively box the Republicans into their extremist viewpoint, even as they search for moderates within their party to boost their popularity in the next election cycle. This will keep these moderate Republicans out of the election cycle at least through the 2012 election.

In a true adaptation of the political tactics of Thomas Jefferson, President Obama has learned from his political History. Yet, it will not secure him the office of President in 2012, if he cannot move the American economy for the better and put people back to work. Although, Americans have been know to give their Presidents time to prove themselves. Example: voting for George Bush (43) twice.

life is death and up is down

"Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Strange days indeed
strange days indeed.
Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move"

i find it incredibly interesting that there is a segment of america who genuinely believes that it's ok to kill others-- despite what they are taught in church. these folks believe it's ok to take the life of another- not in self defense but 'to protect the innocent'- and despite the fact that there are laws on the books that often differ with their particular worldview. vigilante justice isn't part of any biblical passage i have read- but i guess when you believe that YOU are god- the interpretation is quite loose.

these are the same folks who condemn the islamic rite of stoning folks to death and puff up righteously and call these folks 'terrorists.' the hypocrisy and arrogance is almost as thick as the irony. looking at what i know i was taught in my bible belt, baptist upbringing- and what these folks proclaim as 'the truth'- well, somebody was taught wrong. or perhaps they have twisted the bible to their own will instead of their god's will. see, life doesn't end at birth. if you are anti abortion, then you also need to be anti capital punishment, anti torture, anti war, anti poverty,...

i am currently reading chris hedges' book 'losing moses on the freeway' and it is an eye opening read. he obviously believes in god, but he harbors no illusions about organized religions. he disects the ten commandments chapter by chapter but this is no synopsis. he uses real life situations and experiences and draws it all around and lays bare all hypocrises. i have a feeling it might be too much truth for these 'patriots', these 'god fearing christians' to handle. it might interfere with their own god complexes.

No we didn't!

Our pundicrats love to bloviate about what a change it was when America elected its first Black president.

The trouble is that we did no such thing!

Black is culture, not race.

We will have elected our first Black president when, after taking the oath, our bling-bedecked president steps up to the podium, glares into the camera and begins his inaugural address with:

"Yo! Listen up, motherfuckers!"
