Conservative Hounds, Sitting on Their Haunches

CONSERVATIVE AMERICA failed in its primary objective; to kill Nancy Pelosi, or to hold her hostage and torture her until she agrees that the election was stolen from Trump, with a promise to return it. But they got in a few good hammer blows to her husband, and that, for the moment, will have to do. Gleefully they celebrated their most recent violent achievement on the newly reinvented, unfettered Twitter, tweeting their glee, disappointment, and hopes for a more violent, fascist, far right wing future. For proof of their disgusting response, simply log on to murky, musky twitter, and behold the vile right wing Republican spew. This is in keeping; they consider the insurrection at the Capitol, the one which killed seven people while trying to violently overthrow the American government by dragging the Vice President into the parking lot and hanging him, to have been "legitimate political discourse", the media response to it "overblown", and Trump, the chief insurrrectionist in chief, the messenger of God and/or Christ. Meanwhile, A Republican running for Attorney General in a small southern state lists as her qualifications: "I am a gun packing, Bible toting, conservative momma". She never mentions whether she attended law school. (One needn't have a law degree to be elected Attorney General. One need only run, and get elected). She evidently considers gun and Bible ownership prime qualifications, but she never explains how so or why. Why whether one is liberal or conservative matters to an elected official whose responsibility is to represent the legal interests of the state is never explained. A gentleman conservative running for the same office reminds us that he is conservative, and that he opposes Biden's left wing extremist agenda. He fails to mention, or to understand, that Biden is a moderate. Republican candidates insist that they will attack "Biden's inflation" head on. Unmentioned is that inflation is a global phenomenon caused by the drastic decline in the production of goods and services during the shutdowns of the pandemic, sharply decreased supply with increased, pent up demand and renewed, robust spending, that every currency in the world is experiencing it, and that no president of the United States has any real power to control it, that only the Federal Reserve can enact government policy to fight it by raising interest rates and slowing down demand. Also left unexplained is how an Attorney General in any state can possibly have an impact on reducing inflation, or opposing Biden's policies. Left unsaid is that teh increase in gas prices is caused largely by the monopolisitc fuel industry reaping record profits (Exxon made about twenty billion in the third quarter of this year), or that neither Biden nor any American president has anything to do with setting fuel prices. While they celebrate the prospect of harming Nancy Pelosi, they will doubtless come up with something...or other, to explain...everything.
