A Gentleman’s view.

The Republicans have finally found a cause to coalesce around.

The title of this piece says it all when it comes to the plan the Republicans have decided upon as a course of action in opposition to President Barack Obama. They have attempted to reject him verbally with their “just say no” response when it came to the bank bailouts, the housing crisis fix, and any attempt to save our auto industry from implosion. These were no’s that you could bank on though, even if they were responsible for getting the country to this point to begin with, by way of business deregulation, getting back to fiscal responsibility always works the voting crowd. Bush may have run up the red ink after starting with black, and the party looked the other way, but that doesn’t mean we should continue down that road with a new President in place. Now is the perfect time to short-circuit any plans that would bring new cost to discussion while the main effort should be focusing on cleaning up the mess President Bush opportunistically left Obama on his way out of the White House. We have to clean up one war in Iraq and finish the game in place in Afghanistan; we don’t have time to be trying to save old people and poor ones with expensive health plans.

But that is not what the game that is afoot here, is it for the Republicans who have decided that it is their best interest to bite off their nose to spite their face. First off, let’s get rid of the silly notion of socialism that will come to be by declaring that everyone should have health care as a minimum standard. We have police, they protect the community, the neighborhood, the borough, the city, the state, and finally by the will of the people, the country and by it the government. Protection of the state is a socialist concept, as is public education, mandatory emergency facilities and equipment, Hospitals, and on and on and by golly, America has survived every one of those society imposed social institutions upon us. Flu shots, you don’t have to take them, they are highly recommended that you do, but socialistically speaking, they are made available by regulation and law, free or paid for. The Fire Department, depending on the location, township, city, population density, all kinds of various scenarios and requirements based on them, must have a certain amount to station houses to maintain the safety level of the public, again imposed upon us and damn! What do you know? We survived them also. Imagine that.

The game that is afoot is about making sure the Presidency of this Black man is the most unsuccessfully devastating experience both America and Barack Obama ever had in order to ensure that another black doesn’t attempt to go for this office ever again. This Republican party has but one mission, drag their feet, prolong and extend the debate, paint the most hostile and negative scenario for every single idea him or his administration can come up with that could possibly put him in a positive position or benefits anyone except the a limited few. They want him to fail at every single thing that he tries to do, as such want nothing to do with any success he may achieve. That this may be against the best wishes or needs of their constituents back home who may have invested in this first Black man who would be king, is of little consequence to them, it is all about the utter destruction of a man they feel has no business in the office of the President of the United States of America. I may be wrong, but suspect that is because he is a black man, who makes them feel so inferior in so many different ways because of his accomplishments and he’s jock on top of it, and a good one. The Republican Party today has no investment in constituents, or people dying in emergency rooms or going bankrupt under a mass of overwhelming medical bills. As Rick Santelli said, those type of humans are losers not to be subsidized by hard working Americans willing to scam their friends and neighbors as well as the general public to make a dollar. The white males of the Republican Party have but one mission, if Barack Obama wants something or his party wants something, whether it is good for everyone or not, just say no. Make sure another black never has the audacity of hope to believe he can be president in this country.
