(D)ude: Man! The Republican Tea GOP Majority in the House of
Representatives wants to sue and impeach the Executive Branch, the Speaker of
the House John Boehner insisting that the President of the United States can be
found to be in violation of something in the Constitution of the United States
of America. But what about Speaker Boehner and the Congressional Republicans
violating that exact document themselves time and time again?
(M)an: Dude! Florida Republican Tea GOP Governor Rick Scott
violated Article 4 of the United States Constitution when he allegedly forced
on-duty Tampa Bay police officers to a local campaign event, which is a cited
misdemeanor under Florida law as well. Article 4 states clearly that The right of the people to be secure in
their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable
cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
D: Man! The Congressional Republicans and the John Roberts
Supreme Court and places of business such as Hobby Lobby are violating Article
9 of the United States Constitution, which clearly states that the enumeration in the Constitution, of
certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by
the people. If, like how Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan spoke at their 2012 Republican
Tea GOP political rallies, insisting that the crowds of attendees understand,
as Mitt Romney declared, quote unquote “Corporations are people, my friend”
with a sly smirk, then isn’t there a logical rebuke here that the we the people
can insist upon? I mean, if corporations
are people, then can we not declare corporations to be sexually abusive
predators if they insist upon specifying something as confidential as birth
control methodology to their female employees?
M: Dude! They’re also violating Article 10 of the United
States Constitution, which clearly states the
powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Women are people, too! And what about HIPPA and the entire medical records
confidentiality and patients rights guarantees that are clearly being violated
in the practice of the Hobby Lobby ruling by the John Roberts SCOTUS? Where are
the American Medical Association and the National Association of Social Workers
and the American Counseling Association anyways?
D: Man! Probably wondering if their professional lives will
be swept in the same swift hegemonic messiness of the Republican Tea GOP’s
deconstructing the Office of Economic Opportunity, or OEO, that resulted from
the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 through LBJ’s Great Society policymaking
strides? And, speaking of hegemonic messiness of the Republican Tea GOP, I’ve
got a lot to say with regards to the twentieth century of Presidents
Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and H. W. Bush regarding Central and South
America, and the Middle East and Asia, specifically the ending of FDR’s New
Deal coalition and the current attack on civil rights and voting rights as the means
to pit neighbor against neighbor domestically and abroad.
M: Dude! The OEO? You know, the Republican Tea GOP of today
came to fruition with Eisenhower and Nixon and Ford and Reagan and Herbert
Walker Bush, because Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were present in all five
of those presidencies. It was a toxic concoction, really, considering others
like Alexander Haig, George Romney, Billy Graham, Robert Dole, Margaret
Thatcher, Bob Woodruff, and Peggy Noonan figuring into the mix to create the
unnecessary havoc in the world of deliberated inaction at home.
D: Man! The folks you just listed methodically tore apart
OEO, beginning with the big trouble of the tremendous positive outcomes of the Office
of Economic Opportunity’s reach with Native American populations in the United
States attaining political capital and confidence through tribal community
action programs. Maria Shriver’s father championed collaboration and cohesion as
the first director of the OEO, from 1965 through 1968, the time period within
which he successfully cosponsored funding alongside the National Congress of
American Indians for Head Start preschools and modern tribal colleges, in
addition to increasing availability to advanced legal counsel and medical
services on reservations throughout the United States.
M: Dude! In other words, as the Native Americans rose in
stature economically and politically, particularly the Navajo, through the
efforts of R. Sargent Shriver and the OEO, later directors, particularly its
third director Donald Rumsfeld, became convinced of the intellectual hence
political threat empowered minority groups posed for degenerates like Donald
Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney’s clique, after which the agency basically was dissolved
into other federal government agencies such as the Department of Health and
Human Services? The current Congressional Republican budget proposal The Path To Prosperity outlines similar
fates for federal government assistance lifelines, like Medicaid and Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program for example, on the grounds of waste and
fraud.
D: Man! The less than less than one percent of waste and
fraud in Medicaid and food stamps has got the Congressional Republicans concerned?
Then why, despite the booming statistically verifiable success of expanding
Medicaid and twenty-two states and the District of Columbia finally agreeing,
nineteen Republican Tea GOP-led state governments and their Republican Tea GOP governors
are refusing Medicaid Expansion? And why are the Republican Tea GOP House of
Representative members under Speaker John Boehner refusing to pass
comprehensive immigration reform and a jobs bill after four years of
essentially sitting on their hands and declaring themselves incapable of any
constructive action, only willing to submit to the ridiculous rulings of the John
Roberts SCOTUS while surrendering to oligarchic tomfooleries such as the Koch
Klutz Klan?
M: Dude! Have you seen the Sunday, June 1, 2014 broadcast of
This Week With George Stephanopoulos, or read the rushed transcript online of
that specific show?
D: Man! Yeah! Did you see the Sunday, July 6, 2014 broadcast
of Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer, or read the transcript online of the
program?
M: Dude! Yeah! Yeah!
D: Man! Sunday, June 1, 2014 was seven weeks ago! Wow! And I
see you have really marked up the transcript in your hand. Seven weeks ago! Go
ahead, you go first, I’ll follow since mine’s from last week. Yeah, aren’t the
transcripts available online awesome?
M: Dude! Totally! Republican Tea GOP Senator Ted Cruz from
Texas was on This Week with Stephanopoulos seven weeks ago and the President of
the United States had just delivered the commencement address at the United
States Military Academy in West Point, New York the Wednesday before, if I
remember correctly, May 28, 2014?
D: Man! Yes, and Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl had just been
released after five years of captivity by the Taliban the day before this
particular broadcast you’re wanting to address, Saturday, May 31, 2014! Yes. In
exchange for five Taliban detainees being held at Guantanamo Bay, Bergdahl’s
rescue by special operations forces helicopter was immediately denounced and is
still being criticized by Republican Tea GOP Senators Ted Cruz of Texas,
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and John McCain of Arizona et al.
M: Dude! You’ve got three governments involved in the
tedious brokering of a peaceful resolution in POW Bergdahl’s release: US,
Qatar, and Afghanistan. Yet, the Congressional Republican Tea GOP reps like
Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee’s seventh district keep repeating the same ambiguous
messages over and over again, and again and again. Recycled, inconclusive, fragmentary
scripts like the damaged vinyl records that our grandparents used to mourn or the
scratched cassette tapes our parents agonized over. The sound and the insanity
of the Republican Tea GOP! Talking about blasts from the past and the evident
future of world affairs according to overzealous hoodlums who cannot keep from
sharing their own abhorrent intents and actions tomorrow today, Senator Ted
Cruz’s excitability on This Week with George Stephanopoulos was obscene, as he
laid out the plans he would have made if he were given executive authority:
It’s [negotiating]
not the only way. We can go in and use military force, as needed, to rescue our
fallen compatriots. But, look, Sergeant Bergdahl was fighting to capture these
terrorists.
D: Man! Ted Cruz gives me the creeps! Whether white men can’t jump or not, white men
sure can corrupt! White men like Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of
Kentucky and the Congressional Republicans led by Ohio rep and Speaker of the
House John Boehner, hide hideous hooded agendas and waste taxpayer money on keeping
a filibuster going on the Senate floor for over twenty-one hours with readings
of Dr. Seuss lit and endorsing reality television decay like Phil Robertson when
white guys like us cannot afford a basic electricity bill without having to
plan ahead of time as to whether to schedule an afternoon at the shopping mall
or the public library when our bustling vacationing nieces and nephews complain
about the temperature and humidity inside.
M: Dude! What about stay-at-home moms living in public
housing without means of transportation but in need of keeping their infants
and toddlers cared for throughout the summer days? And what about the added
stress of having school-age children home for the duration of a three-month
summer? We the people must elect responsible replacements for the Republican
Tea GOP kooks in the United States Congress who are obstructing legislation, hence creating or worsening crises
across the country and around the globe. Much worse, Senator Ted Cruz admitted
to George Stephanopoulos seven weeks ago on television, Sunday, July 1, 2014, about
being in that very region himself— interfering in President Obama’s strategies,
particularly endangering the troops of United States Military Advisors being
sent to assist Secretary John Kerry with international diplomatic negotiations—where
the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashed this past Thursday, July 17, 2014:
Well, you know, I
just got back last week from traveling to Israel and Ukraine and Poland and
Estonia. And it was striking – you know, one of the things Ambassador [Susan]
Rice said that was absolutely correct is that America is the indispensible leader.
But what our allies
are expressing over and over again is that leadership is missing. And the most
frequent thing you hear when you talk to an ambassador, a foreign minister of our
friends and allies is they pull you aside quietly in hushed tones, they say,
“Where is America?”
Number one,
President Obama should have spoken out clearly in support of freedom, in
support of the protesters when the protesters began in the Maidan Square
[centrally located in Kiev, Ukraine].
I had the privilege
of traveling through Maidan Square, being led by 16-year-old high school girl
who saw her compatriots shot by army snipers. And they continue to protest for
freedom. America should speak out for freedom.
But then after that,
we should stand with our allies and not give into Russia. We should, number
one, right now, install the anti-ballistic missile batteries in Eastern Europe,
in Poland, the Czech Republic, that were scheduled to go in 2009, that
President Obama canceled in an effort to appease Putin. That hadn’t worked.
And number two, we
should be using energy as a tool to help liberate the Ukrainian people and
impose costs on Putin. There are over 20 applications to export liquid natural
gas bottled up in the Obama Administration. He should approve them because that
would be a meaningful step to stand with the Ukrainian people and free them
from Russia’s economic blackout.
D: Man! And this is how Bob Schieffer conveyed what Republican
Tea GOP hawks John McCain and Lindsey Graham were up to in the Middle East and
the surrounds, having conveniently returned from Afghanistan at the exact time
that the head of the militant group ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, surfaced on
videotape in Iraq urging followers towards hawkishness, keep in mind this Face
The Nation episode was broadcast two weeks back, on Sunday, July 6, 2014:
And here in
Washington, we’re joined now by Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey
Graham, who spent a lot of time there [Israel]. They are also just back from
Afghanistan. Let me start with this video we just saw of this child [15-year-old
Palestinian-American and Tampa, Florida resident Tariq Khdeir who was beaten by
Israeli security forces during summer break in East Jerusalem when violent
protests erupted as a result of the teenager’s cousin’s abduction and death
earlier]. The State Department has put out a statement condemning the beating.
They’re demanding a full investigation. But is there anything the United States
can do here, Senator McCain, to calm this situation?
M: Dude! The
child, teenager Tariq Khdeir, is an American citizen and lives in Florida. He
has recovered, but he too now is vulnerable to feeling the visceral pain helpless
children and women and families suffer as the direct result of Republican Tea
GOP hawks purposefully breaking down President Obama and Secretary John Kerry’s
peace talks and negotiations abroad while obstructing President Obama and Secretary
Jeh Johnson’s efforts at home to protect the middle and working classes while
compassionately confronting poverty—versus the resolute inaction and
incompetent insistences on part of
the Congressional Republicans—as well as resolving the refugee crisis that the
Republican Tea GOP hawks insist is entirely a matter of securing our border
physically.
D: Man! Imagine
the emotional trauma that the unaccompanied immigrant children and women suffered
at the hands of deliberately misinformed, hence unwelcoming protestors
blockading Homeland Security buses carrying them, conscionable refugees
unwilling to submit to the violent, cartel, terrorist, separatist, underground
opposition party dynamics that have shredded the sovereignty of Central
American governments. The Republican Tea GOP is responsible and has applied
this method of gradual yet corrosive corruption in India with the calculated downgrade
of Rahul Gandhi and the United Progressive Alliance to second place status during
the 2014 Indian General Election in which the victor, Narendra Modi and the
National Democratic Alliance, had already been on the Republican Tea GOP radar,
specifically congratulated by Republican Tea GOP Representative Aaron Schock
from Illinois’s eighteenth district, on Friday, January 3, 2014 on the House
floor, for Modi winning reelection a third time as Chief Minister of Gujarat,
the Western Indian State and site of the 2002 Gujarat riots, which Modi handled
with the same animus as that of Congressional Republican Representative Darrell
Issa towards Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings in the House Oversight
Committee.
