I've been starting to analyze situation after issue, and begun to think that Republicans are not stupid, but immensely evil. Yet, not Karl Rove evil, but “five year old, stealing candy from his little brother” evil.
And the reason I evoke such a quasi-charismatic association in the name of our favorite party-foulers parallels their most recent endeavor which, by the way, is starting to borderline the 21st century of cliché; Cut Spending.
By all means, I am not against cut spending when it comes attached to a pretty good reason, let alone if it is utterly necessary; However, the GOP's fonding of spending cuts has reached its peak (or maybe not). The plan to cut Pell Grants, heating subsidies for the poor, and cut off NPR from federal grants is on the way.
Several emotions closely related to anger and anxiety come to one's mind when the outrages news arrive to our door. Nonetheless, irony and sarcasm are always here to save us.
No, seriously, in the midst of Republicans and Maniacs accusing an entire generation of Socializing America and bringing our future back to the good' ol days of red, these people actually have the Yarbles* to go out and imply they're getting public opinion radio off the air and forbidding (or at least making it way tougher) poor teenagers from pursuing a college education.
And what the hell? Cutting heat and health subsidies for the poor to alleviate further possibility of inflation? Are we living in Burma? Damn, that Paul Ryan must be really happy right now...
...And the rich were filled with glee that day.
Now, in the vain of the GOP's five year plans, suppressing of the poor and talented (Oh, yes. They are also cutting grants for better-performing schools), and screwing with public radio, let's never forget Republicans go by the color red.
Have a great decade.
*Using “A Clockwork Orange” argot to keep the message clean and subtle.
Good post. You shouldn't be too surprised, it's the typical Republican slogan: cut everyone's spending but my own. When Obama suggested cutting spending for the military in order to have a copper Lincolns rolling in the bank, Republicans said "no way!" And of course they want to cut spending for education, keep the people poor and ignorant, so that they KEEP voting for us! Guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. No, scratch that, guess you can teach a Republican dog any tricks
ReplyDeleteGood, interesting post. Thanks for THE CLOCKWORK ORANGE reference--another great Kubrick film.
