Man! Dude! Session #219: The GOP Disrespecting US Veterans



(M)an: Dude! Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, is a solutions-focused compassionate fighter. She was making the case for a voiceless victim in this Republican Sequestration and Government Shutdown distraction purposefully set into motion to avert attention from state-level cheats like Governors Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania and Chris Christie of New Jersey.

(D)ude: Man! Randi Weingarten? I saw her appearing on multiple shows this morning discussing the death of a twelve-year-old asthmatic child, Laporshia Massey, due to the Philadelphia budget cuts implemented by Governor Corbett that left Laporshia’s school without a staff nurse.

M: Dude! My sister has asthma. It is a chronic condition and requires a lot of responsibility and constant vigilance to protect the sufferer from harm. Having been the sibling of an asthmatic since elementary school, I remember the relationship my parents and sister had with the school nurse.

D: Man! Does Rebecca still have a nebulizer and inhalers to get her through, like in school? The school nurse kept inhalers in a locked medicine cabinet and there were some nebulizers in the backroom closet. It was fascinating to see the nurse cleaning the equipment as often as required. It is hard work! Quite the commitment on part of the school nurse. 

M: Dude! One of the nebulizers most probably was Rebecca’s that you saw back then. Yeah, she’s still got the inhalers and a nebulizer. Asthma is not just a condition. Actually, it is a chronic disease. My parents always were on the lookout for signs and symptoms, because asthma is so deceptively simple to grasp theoretically. But it is physical hell upon the sufferer.

D: Man! What about the physical hell upon minority and low-income public school children and adolescents who have type 1 diabetes, epilepsy, anemia, and sports related injuries due to playground activity, physical education, and sports? Kids these days are surviving childhood cancer and must manage their ongoing treatment plans consistently. And what about the child who is put at-risk for becoming the school outcast because of a disease like AIDS?

M: Dude! Imagine having a chronic illness otherwise under control be known to the faculty. I am not certain whether or not there is a Hippocratic oath for teachers and educators to take upon licensure. But school nurses do, as health professionals, hold steadfastly to patient confidentiality as well as wellbeing.  

D: Man! What about the four-hour mob that descended upon the World War II Memorial on the National Mall yesterday? What about the metal barricades that Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz had orchestrated with their own federally registered political action committee SarahPAC, circa 2009?

M: Dude! Senator Ted Cruz is George W. Bush’s crutch. Cruz was hired by Bush-Cheney in 1999 as a policy wonk like Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin likes to refer to himself still, despite a non-budget budget proposal that remains brutally flawed. Whereas Paul Ryan is incapable of revision, Ted Cruz’s inflated ego has a serial killer’s instinct and he botches and rewrites to the point of total political chaos, a trait that Cruz and Palin share deeply together. The two are in the midst of an affair of the simpleminded right now, evilly excited by rallying prepaid and prearranged miscreants to desecrate national monuments and historic sites in Washington, DC by mixing in with legitimate war veterans who are trying to honor their fallen brothers and sisters in uniform.

D: Man! That must be really terrifying for the legitimate war vets! To be subjected into a crowd of premeditated mayhem and destruction. Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz ought to have their SarahPAC  held responsible in recovering the mess made yesterday and be held liable for trashing and vandalizing government property.

M: Dude! Governor Tom Corbett and the State of Pennsylvania ought to be held accountable for the untimely death of Laporshia Massey.

D: Man! Governor Corbett and the State of Pennsylvania are withholding the $45 million in federal grant money from the Philadelphia public school system. Do you think Corbett and the GOP, including his staunchest supporter and neighboring New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, are methodically instating a government shutdown and Thursday’s government default for the purposes of personally pocketing government money?       

M: Dude! The GOP Republican Tea Partiers are attempting to confuse everybody, creating an existential havoc that has collapsed due to their own lackluster leadership. I mean, who in their right mind selects Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush as presidential material and  potential cultural icons?

D: Man! Senators John McCain and Mike Lee and Time Magazine or Peggy Noonan and the Wall Street Journal and Mary Matalin?

M: Dude! The GOP wants payback. The Republican Party newcomers in 2010, the ones Diane Sawyer questionably rounded up and conducted a sit-down with upon their winning seats in Congress, came for only one purpose and that was to pillage the states and national governments with a program of continuing heavy military involvement and warfare, perhaps even pillaging the countries of the Middle East that celebrate a rich heritage of multicultural alliances.  

D: Man! Governor Chris Christie and Governor Tom Corbett campaigned tirelessly to get Corbett the governorship of Pennsylvania, a predominantly “blue state” like New Jersey. Not surprisingly, one of the first schemes Tom Corbett backed, after winning the governorship with Chris Christie’s enthusiastic assistance, was to split the state’s Electoral College vote in order to essentially turn Pennsylvania into a “red state”.  

M: Dude! Senator Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin are an evil collaboration of fatuousness and injudiciousness. While Ted Cruz filed the papers for Bush v. Gore in 2000 after putting together the legal team that successfully won George W. Bush two terms in the White House, Sarah Palin was using binoculars and telescopes to find Russia from her house.

D: Man! Her miscalculation was brought to her attention after her interview with Charles Gibson during the McCain-Palin campaign. And for Ted Cruz, he filed those papers with the Supreme Court of Florida and the United States Supreme Court, the latter to go on to dismantle the Voting Rights Act of 1965 while the former was in the state where Jeb Bush reigned as governor from January 5, 1999 to January 2, 2007.
