Almost Laughable

NOW THAT WE THE PEOPLE, acting through our national legislators, have decided to pay for everything we had already purchased, and Obama got the victory which was inevitable, comes the post mortem analysis. The tea party republicans in the U.S. House thus become as ghosts from the Alamo. They fought the good fight, and they died nobly, covered in glory. Ted Cruz, John Boehner, prostrate and lifeless on the ground Davy Crockett-like, surrounded by the bodies of Obamacare enemies they dispatched before going down; there were just too many of them. Makes you want to march down the street with head held high, carrying the tea party free market social darwinistic banner, vowing to return to fight another day. "Remember the fight to kill Obamacare"! Its almost laughable, and would be, were they all not in such deadly, self absorbed earnest. They had their fifteen minutes of fame, and by now the hollow morning after. Champions of budgetary restraint, they claim, who went down with honor. You half expect them to offer you some good prime land in south Florida. The only thing these tea party people want to do is eliminate all official government help for America's teeming poor masses, so that the help can be given privately, through churches, through the benificence of those well to do, who insist, above all else, that the choice to give unto th epoor be theirs, and not the government's. Oh, what a difference that makes! Why should we all cooperate on anything, why should we all work together to take care of everybody, or anybody, when the true spirit of America, and the true spirit of Jesus is; make it on your own. So that these teeming poor, victims of their own laziness and bad choices, can get off there couches and learn to work, to produce, to succeed. And, in so doing, put a few dollars back into the pockets of the highly moral highly compassionate christians,that they may maintain their upper middle class status with a bigger buffer, and give; when they damned will want to. Jesus, guns, and money. They work so well together! Go they way, and sell whatsoever thou hast, and give unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. For the ultra conservative jesus guns and money tea party folks, heaven must surely be here and now, for verily, they have their treasure, and they sho do intend to keep it.
