The Party Of 'NO' Should
Just Say 'NO'!
It would make their hero, The Gipper, and Nancy soooo proud.0 comments
This has been rolling around my head for months now, although I haven't as yet said it. Bob Cesca says it better than I: Go Ahead, make your day! Turn it all down! Show them who's boss.Therefore, I'm calling upon Sean Hannity to use his prime time television program as a platform to rally Republican politicians, cable news hacks and citizens alike to refuse delivery of not just recovery bill spending, but all so-called "socialist" government programs. Send it all back. End American socialism now! All of it.
Yes. All of it. Every bit. The GOPers and the NOPErs should absolutely stand on moral purity, and refuse every last damn cent that those evil Federales attempt to shove down their throats.What red-blooded, real-man American doesn't already know that any fire will just burn itself out at some point? Besides, if necessary, that's why the good Lord invented buckets. Who needs police if my kids can just sling Uzis over their shoulders on their way to gym class in their private school, or if I can simply take out a Blackwater rent-a-thug contract to look after them? Real Americans are rich and/or smart enough to have heliports on their property because they don't need no stinkin' roads.
The fact that rejection of any and all monies from the stimulus bill comes from the governors of five states (Alaska, Idaho, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas), four of which GOPers have long-since turned into impoverished Third-World Countries, and from the loony right-wing media sources (the fools at FOX, Rush, AEI, Cato) is emblematic of what is wrong with Republican taste makers and leadership today. The fact that three of those governors have presidential ambitions, so they can help lead the rest of the country into Third-World status, is lost on no one, especially the poor residents of those states who unfortunately are merely rats locked in some giant nobles/serfs social experiment. Ironically, no state in the Union is in more dire need of stim money than those locked tightly behind the Loony Red Curtain of the South and Alaska.
So, let these leaders cry out against "socialist" stimulus measures—just as long as they put their impoverished states where their political mouths are and turn down all stim money.
Then, we can simply sit back and watch.
Now, I don't know if folks in those Loony Red states will cotton much to seeing the rest of the country eventually go back to work and begin to enjoy the fruits of any new prosperity while they're having to eat their young just to survive. I don't know if they'd be all that partial to being left behind because their governor wants to make political points with loony fringe voters while their babies and spouses are left to die.We may be approaching torch and pitchfork territory here. Seeing a fleshy porker like Mississippi's Haley Barbour roasting on an open spit, then parceled out to his hungry constituents may give other Loony Red leaders pause about the wisdom of their position. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Mark Sanford of South Carolina probably aren't in danger of being eaten by their citizenry—but only because there really is no meat on either of their bones. But those fundraiser dinners and cocktail receptions may be just enough to fatten up Rick Perry of Texas to be dinner, he's that close. Also, now that the price of oil has fallen through the floor, cutting off most of the cash that has kept Alaskans afloat, that state's population may well begin to look hungrily at Sarah Palin's prodigious array of kinder before they start to eye their own.
Just sayin', is all.
