You say you got a real solution/Well, you know/We'd all love to see the plan/You ask me for a contribution/Well, you know/We're all doing what we can/But when you want money for people with minds that hate/All I can tell is brother you have to wait. "Revolution" — The Beatles
Calling all rational conservatives, calling all rotational Republicans — HELP! Look, I think your party’s been taken over by the wing-nut, fringe-groups of your realm. It’s got to be, otherwise someone really needs to explain to me just what in the hell is going on around here.
See, I get it — you, they, whoever, they don’t like President Obama. Okay, cool, I get that. I didn’t much care for President Bush (either one of them) it’s pretty much human nature to not like the guy you didn’t vote for … otherwise … you’d have voted for them but holy bejeebus, Batman! I mean come on, when did the right become the party of stupid? I really miss the conservatives like George Will, P.J. O’Rourke, and Andrew Sullivan.
I didn’t and don’t always agree with what they said but they sure knew what they were talking about. Their arguments made sense and was backed up with facts. When an argument against current policies can be debunked with a quick, 90 second Google search, something has gone horrible wrong! I mean “Obama wants to euthanize my grandma” are you serious? Access to a professional medical counselor who will provide the elderly with information on preparing a living will and other issues facing older Americans is a death panel? Holy crap! I guess every time I deploy and have to essentially do the same thing through a Soldier Readiness Process I’m going before a military death panel! Just for the record, probably not.
Birthers, tea-bag movement and on and on and on … really? This is what you’re spending countless hours on? Going rogue? What’s the deal?! What happened to intellectual honesty? What happened to honest debate? What happened to at the end of the day you could look at the other side and while you may not agree with their methodology, you knew that they too wanted the best for our nation? We’re two sides of the same coin here gang.
