Our enemy is not the 40 freedom fighters Al Queda's has in Afghanistan. It's 40 enemies who have infiltrated America's government and are bent on destroying it.
They want to paralyze America's government using guerrilla tactics. They want to "Freeze America Totally" and they are succeeding. They are winning the undeclared war.
Yesterday, the enemies passive-aggressive protest shut down the Senate Committee tasked with solving global warming. That's their newest battle tactic, shutting down things. And it worked. The bill can't get out of committee now. So no global warming bill. No cap and trade.
They have frozen the full Health Care Bill, of course, but they are also preventing consideration of the Veterans’ Caregiver and Omnibus Health Benefits Act. One issue at at time they are paralyzing our government.
Yes, you guessed it, the enemy is the GOP, and their SWAT team are the 40 members of the US Senate. 41 if you count good old Joe.
These pretend patriots are kicking America's ass and we are not even fighting back. We're taking it. We're not even mad as hell. Some of us didn't even realize we were at war.
You think, I'm exaggerating, don't you. You think I'm sounding like a conspiracy theory nutcase, a babbling Beck or lefty Limbaugh, who you don't take seriously, because they are wackjobs. So was the painter with the mustache.
Republicans are boycotting the Environment and Public Works Committee hearings, blocking action by exploiting a committee rule that at least two members of the minority have to be present before opening markup. On Wednesday, ranking Republican James Inhofe of Oklahoma, the foremost denier of global warming, made a brief appearance at the hearing, dropped an IED and left.
Republican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma is the freedom fighter preventing consideration of S 1963, the Veterans’ Caregiver and Omnibus Health Benefits Act of 2009, by using putting a hold on a bill.
They have stopped the nomination of the Surgeon General during a declared epidemic.
This is not coincidence.
The plan, as we all know, is the plan authored by Rush Limbaugh. Make a Obama fail, the GOP can take back power. And if America is destroyed in the process, so be it.
If you've seen Glenn Beck lately, all he talks about it revolution.
This is not just Dick Nixon's Dirty Tricks Team. This is serious stuff and we'd better take it seriously. But I don't see anybody doing so.
Be aware that America is not going to win this war. We can't. We have met the enemy, and old Pogo was right, he is us.
The enemy took two states on Tuesday without a shot fired. And we discovered a lot of people are with them, judging by FoxNews ratings, which did better than all other networks combined. Yes, more people watched the returns on Fox than CNN and MSNBC combined. The propaganda is working.
The enemy wants to "Freeze America Totally" so that Dems will get depressed and sit at home so that next year the enemy can take back power. And if we don't wake up the FAT-heads are going to do it.

I have lots of friends and relatives (people I dearly love) who embrace this abomination of a political philosophy. I try to reason with them…to point out the absurdity of the situation they bolster.
I guess, considering the way our democracy works, that is the best thing one can do.
That, and posting commentary like yours, of course.
Good job.

We were so freakin impotent during GWB's even more egregious law-breaking for 8 YEARS, it makes me want to scream. Give us a plan. We need somebody to come up with a plan. Senator Sam (and those who knew what to do) are gone.
The real enemy isn't any poltical party, it isn't even the corporations. It's not our system of governance or our national character.
The real enemy is thinking there's an enemy at all. Give humanity a little time to evolve. We'll get it right, eventually.
