Party Like It's 1899
So you Republicans had your little ideological keg party this weekend - where you former frat boys and your ilk got drunk on your looney "philosophy" and congratulated each other for a single victory of any import, as if that were some kind of crushing blow to an administration scarcely more than a year old that came in on the heels of an economic apocalypse. You did your song and dance about this allegedly new and allegedly populist movement, that is really just a loose confederation of the same old fringe crazies - anti-tax anarchists (one of whom crashed his plane into a federal office building to demonstrate the clear-headed reasonable nature of his compatriots), anti-reality Christian evangelists (who believe they'll be rich like the guys who run the GOP if they can just insert "Jesus" into every phrase of the Constitution), and of course the rich guys who run the GOP (who think successful marketing is somehow equivalent to successful policies but should know you can't really make a Gucci bag out of polyeurethane) - only even louder and more shrill.
Hello? We had eight years of your laughable-if-it-wasn't-so-catastrophic leadership. Eight years of you running this place, running us right into the ground. And now you're going to make this about Obama? You think progressivism is the cancer? You think high quality health care for all, equal opportunity, clean air and clean water, the right to control your body and express your mind with impunity, and an end to an expensive and illegitimate war that involved torturing people, is a cancer? Who are you people?
I say you are the terrorists. You have been trying to blow up our civil institutions and our culture for years now because you don't like people of color, animals or trees, women in the workplace, and sex. And I will tell you this - we, the real Americans - will not be cowed by you any longer. Enjoy your tea party and take lots of pictures, because in a few years all that's going to be left of you is a dried pool of Earl Grey and some crumbs from an orange cranberry scone (or coke and cheetos as the case may be), you wankers.
