Can We See "Clearly" Now??
Yesterday's defiant performances before the Values Voters Summit , by Senator Cruz of Texas and others, http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/11/ted-cruz-heckled-during-his-impassioned-remarks-va/ should make it clearer for all to see that our Virulent Right is clear in its intent, and relentless in its pursuit of their goals. Cruz, along with Rubio, Graham, Paul, and former Senator Santorum, are similar weeds that sprout from the polluted grounds of our Virulent Right. "Damn the Torpedo(s) and Democracy, Too" appears to be their battle cry. They are joined by Republican Governors around the country in their goal of ending Constitutional Rule, while also using remnants of our electoral system to fashion their "New (white-ruled) Confederacy".
The "Sabotage-Democracy-Campaign" the Repoobs started in 2008; wherein Republicans have undermined everything that President Obama has tried to do, in his efforts to clean-up the economic mess they made during their 2000-2008 rule; has "failed", so far, to make him "fail".
In that same Cheney/Bush period, someone proclaimed: "The Constitution will not be a Suicide Pact". They've moved beyond that position to conclude that our Constitution is of little "value" to the Virulent Right in its drive to guarantee White Rule, in spite of impending Demographics. Their choke-hold on the House of Representatives comes from their ability to "vote the trees"; and thereby deny electoral clout to urban citizens in this country. They can also "bet" that citizens will not vote in local and state elections; paying attention only to national elections. Only a "revolt" by all citizens eligible to vote at the local and state level, will save our economy, "fix" our problems, and return the effectiveness of our Constitution.
Their tool is the DEBT CEILING. They perpetually threaten the good faith and credit of the nation in order to extort ransom from the nation at large. The Speaker of the House, thereby, becomes more powerful than the President of the United States. The economy will FOREVER hang by a thread. Voters don't get to decide who will be Speaker of the House. A weak person in that job can be bullied by a small minority in the Party that holds a majority in the House. A weak minority Party that is incapable of waging an effective counter threat to the minority within the majority-Party, is equally responsible for the impotence that redounds to our Constitution.
Stay Vigilant! The Demagogues are Gathering!
