Only A Motion Away

Paul Simon once wrote about “a strange and mournful day.” Today, the brewing discontent within the country regarding its government and how it is being run brings it citizenry closer to the sad conclusion that talk alone will not alter the actions of their representatives. The headlines screamed today that “Livid Democrats demand AIG return bailout bonuses,” according to the Associated Press. The lead “Talking tougher by the hour, livid Democrats confronted beleaguered insurance giant AIG with an ultimatum Tuesday,” belies the ineptitude of those making the claim. A worthwhile demand perhaps, but as with every other entity the government touches their “black thumb” is really the result of their own double standards, unwillingness to stand accountable, and the corruption of their very soul.

The Democrats themselves as well as the administration’s naked incompetence is showing. The process is controlled entirely by one party. The strings of legislative power control are in Democrat hands. They command the purse strings, the budget, and have little check on them, yet in passing the bailout, of A.I.G., specifically they not only didn’t forget to address the issue, but they struck down efforts by Republican’s to thwart this very eventuality. Now Democrats scream like wailing fishwives, whose husband’s have stayed out past their bed times. The hypocrisy would be incredible, if it were not par for the mode of Democrat operations.

Before Obama was elected the Republican worry was, maybe he would be as good as his rhetoric. That unfounded fear has been put to bed. His compatriots in the Senate and House headed by Hysterical Harry and Nagging Nancy compound the light shining upon their routine insincerity. All this was accomplished in a matter of two short months. Harry and Nancy were well known quantities before this, but Obama now completes the “Three Amigos of Arrogance.” Does anybody in Washington think that the people are not watching?

Compounding the Carter-like malfeasance is the repeated aid from media outlets to prop up the notion that any effort is better than no effort. In the short term that may look fair, but over the long haul, the landscape changing decisions are being made under the nose of the sleeping giant population. At least that is how the mindset in the White House and Democrat halls of Congress seems to be interpreting the bubbling voter silence.

Unfortunately, the stupidity of the left is matched only by the ineptitude of the right. Had we been under these circumstances in the early 1990’s, Newt Gingrich could have parlayed his power to the Presidency, instead of merely the House of Representatives. The battle of stupidity rages in Washington despite the bleeding heart party’s ascent to power, and the cold hearted bastards’ ouster. The only folks, who are going to be hurt by the D.C. hijinks once again, will be the people.

Most of the public are up for changing they system from within, but given the uselessness and dismissal of the people’s point of view in the eyes of both parties, and barring the next unforeseen Newt, the turn toward violent dissention is as Paul Simon said, “only a moment away.”
