If you watch TV news, you probably have heard that the
villainous Republicans have shut down the government. Although, unless you are
trying to go to a national park or another site that is controlled by the
National Park Service, the might not have noticed any problem yet. The president and Democrat leadership in the
Senate and House of Representatives have been hysterical about the dire
consequences of the “shut down” describing the Republicans as “terrorists” and
“hostage takers”, who are holding the American people ransom threatening to
blow up the government if they do not get their way. It would be funny if it were not so sad for
the rest of us who value accuracy. Well, wait a minute—it is still pretty
funny. I mean watching Obama, Reid and Pelosi spew their rhetorical hypocrisy,
while keeping strait faces is always humorous. Some people don’t see them as
funny, but then many people—especially women—don’t get the Three Stooges
either. Now, who are the hostage takers?
The hostage-holding analogy is a tried and true hyperbolic
argument for Democrats. It worked pretty well when a similar situation happened
during the Clinton administration. Republicans got the blame in most people’s
minds because most people get their left-biased news reportage form TV news and
entertainment medium who reported it that way, though there were two parties
involved with differing opinions about where the money should go and how much
needed to be spent. It is interesting to me that the president and Harry “Dracula”
Reid—Unlike the Democrat politicians, I can say insulting and demeaning things
about people whom I disagree with because
I am not an office-holder who is supposed to show decorum—are constantly
clamoring for a clean spending bill. A clean spending bill would be, in the
Democrat’s view, a bill that meets all of their requirements, funding the
entire government, which would not exclude anything that the Republicans did
not want to fund. But who are the
hostage takers again?
The Democrats are not very good when it comes to history,
especially when the things they do and say seem to come back to bite them, as
when they try not keep from raising the debt limit because it would be “unpatriotic”.
Yes, that was what Obama said as a Senator when trying to defund the war effort
in Iraq. Historically speaking, spending bills in this country used to be
passed on an individual basis, not the so-called “clean bill”. The House of
Representatives, as most people know, hold the purse strings and decides what
bills are funded. If they choose to defund Obama Care, for example, or to fund
individual segments of the government they can legally do so. They were voted in to use their discretion,
just as the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives and the
Democrat-controlled Senate chose to unilaterally pass Obama Care without
knowing what was actually in it, as Pelosi unwittingly (her favorite position)
admitted. The use of words like “hostage” and “ransom” are inflammatory and
inaccurate in the extreme, but it seems to be offensive to the media if applied
in the right direction, just like it seems to be impossible for minorities to
have racist feelings. And again, who are
the hostage takers?
Though the hysterics on left describing hostage taking and
ransom demands are purely infantile, let us go with it for the sake of
argument. This time around, it has been pointed out, by reasonable observers on
the right, that normal “hostage situations” require someone, with experience in
such matters, to “NEGOTIATE” to free some if not all of the so-called hostages.
In fact negotiators who care about people will try to get as many out of a
hostage situation as possible. So, it
would seem that the Democrats only care about their favorite hostage of the
month: Obama Care. It should be pointed
out that the Republicans have met initially tried to defund Obama Care, passing
a bill that would fund everything else. When that did not even get voted on by
the Senate, the house passed, as used to always be the case, spending bills for
individual projects or departments. Those efforts have also been ignored by
Senate Majority Leader, Harry “Emperor Palpatine” Reid. When asked in a news
conference, why he would not allow a vote on passing the House’s funding of at
least the NIH, if it were to help a young child get cancer treatments, Harry “Wicked
Stepmother” Reid replied, “Why would we do that?”. The like-minded Senator Chuck “Commander Lyle
Tiberius Roarke” Schumer chimed in, “What right did they have to pick and
choose what part of government is going to be funded? Oh, I don’t know… Maybe
it was Article 1 of the United States
Constitution, you idiot! Not only are Democrats typically bad at history, they
apparently have not read the Constitution since high school if even then. The
House has offered to fund the government, but the President and
Democrat-controlled Senate refuse to budge. If the words “hostages” and
“ransom” are to be applied, then who is really Hell-bent to hold the American
people hostage or hold them for ransom? Could it be the Democrats? I think so.
Let us also take a look at who is actually getting hurt the
most and who is doing the actual hrting. The House passes budgets and spending
bills but the President apparently has discretion on who actually gets hit and
who gets favored status. The day that the government was officially shut down,
Endowment For The Arts, which targets PBS, Sesame Street and Big Bird and Elmo,
was given nearly a half billion dollars, while the President ordered the
federal parks closed. And, the Obama administration barricades the WWII
Memorial, but allowed an illegal alien amnesty rally on the Washington D.C.
Mall during the “shutdown”. At the WWII Memorial, Carol Johnson
with the Park Service says, they were told to close the site by White House's
Office of Management & Budget. This was also the case at the US cemeteries
in France, where travelers wanted to pay their respects to the WII fallen
heroes, but found the entrances locked. The National Park Service, under orders
from Obama, have been blocking off all of the viewing areas of Mt. Rushmore
with cones. Not only did they close down the park that the monument is located
in, but they are now blocking off any and all spots along the roads surrounding
the park that provide a viewing spot for picture taking. South Dakota
Democratic State Senator, Tim Johnson, said that the problem would be fixed if
Republicans would just send a clean CR that funds Obamacare to Harry “Satan” Reid. Where you used to see unarmed park rangers
you now see armed guards keeping people away. It has been reported that park
rangers have been instructed to make it difficult on the public. One wonders
what would happen if someone should stray across a barrier to the Lincoln or Jefferson
memorials. How difficult should it be made on us? Deadly force, perhaps? We
might be being held hostage, but not by the Republicans.
Help, Help, We’re being repressed! I just hope we do not
experience the violence inherent in the system. But nothing would surprise me
with these guys.
