what eye thynk: Sometimes sarcasm is the only answer. In that vein, I bring you "A Letter from the GOP to America.
Dear Fellow Americans:
Yes, we're desperate and talking about suing our democratically elected President for trying to govern despite all the times we have tried to stop him. But we hate him so much that we have been in a dither for nearly six years now so this latest idea actually sounds reasonable to us.
You can help us by ignoring the well documented numbers quoted above. Those are facts and we can't have you being confused by them. All you need to know is that even one executive order delivered by an -uppity black man Democratic president is one too many. Just listen to us and we'll tell you all you need to know...no messy truths needed.
The office of President of the United States is a position of leadership that we feel should rightfully belong to no one but us. God told us. We know you share our sense of outrage at the current state of the executive branch and look back fondly on the years of President Cheney and his side-kick W, when there was always a new war on the horizon, the poor joyfully paid taxes so the rich didn't have to, when the earth was ours to exploit and health care was a privilege available only to those with sufficient funds to pay for it.
With your help, we can get there again. Our planned lawsuit against the President is just one step in our master plan to take back our country. When we succeed, we promise you will all be welcome to stay, as long as you do one of two things: be rich, or be silent.
We are the GOP, the party dedicated to the Bible, war and rich white guys. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Your Republican Party
this letter ... what can I say? I dislike it on so very many levels because, well because it hits home. It tells a 'truth' that they never will.
ReplyDeleteAll except the part about "dedicated to the Bible". Unless you mean as a tool to hook simple minded people into an easily lead faction.
Notice I said "simple minded", not simple people. I tend to be one of the latter; a 'simple man'. I can mow a lawn, shoot an arrow straight, and I can spot bull shit in a crowded room.
Most recently, the crowded room I speak of is in the House of Congress.
