Failed States
What manner of fresh hell will the Republicans think of next?
First the Republican Governors adapted Karl Rove’s lockstepping, bootjacking game plan to quickly ram measures through their legislatures to decimate public employee unions, i.e. those traitors who did not support their elections. Many guvs favor bashing money-grubbing teachers who do the hardest job in the world [trust me on this] and earn $35,000 a year. God forbid the guvs would tax the rich.
Meanwhile the Republicans in Congress, too chicken to bite or regulate the hand that feeds them, are doubling down to bully the poor, immigrants and women instead. And again. The Pence Amendment to prohibit federal funding of Planned Parenthood is a cynical threefer. Tax their Viagra.
So Happy 100th Birthday, Ronald Reagan. This is the wreckage of your blithely vicious anti-government claptrap. This is what corporate government looks like at thirty years. One of Reagan’s idiotic fantasies was a Star Wars Missile Shield. Schematically it resembled a domelike diaphragm over the US, just waiting for the Washington Monument to come to town.
In Reagan’s memory, Republicans want to create an equally fantastical airless Bias-sphere, with sky-boxes above for the rich to watch the death throes below. Grab one of Pat Buchannan’s old pitchforks and join the protests.

I am so incensed at the duplicity of these sorry arses. I hope their political careers are cut short. I hope they have to live the hell they’ve consigned so many other Americans to -no jobs, no housing, no money coming in, nothing.
I’ve got a few choice words for these jerks: Take a look at the Middle East. What do you think will happen now that you’ve put so many out of work here in America? They haven’t got anything better to do than make your political lives miserable. THAT’S WHAT YOU GET -a bunch of out-of-work, pissed-off people who vote.

Agree!
But isn’t the outrage refreshing?
And for the first time, Dems & traditional blue-collar unions are coming to see public sector workers as real, legitimate Labor.
Why don’t you phone Gov. Walker & pretend to be Sarah Palin?

Wouldn’t it make sense for our President to step in and re-engage with the very people who got him elected right now? This seems like the biggest no-brainer yet. Join wiht us, put up a fight, kick some Republican ass! It’s what we’ve all been waiting for! It’s the only way he’ll be re-elected and we’ll take back the house at this point!
