Record-breaking heat across
the states this summer invites a retrospective question: What if a
conservative, like Reagan or some other revered rightwinger, had prophesied
climate change before Gore had a chance to be crowned forerunner? Before Al
became their object of derision with climate science butchered as collateral
damage, what if a Reagan or even one of the Bushes had sounded the alarm? From
the day climatologists (i.e., "intellectuals") and Democrats (i.e., reviled
"liberals") heralded the cause, Republicans, rather than getting onboard to
solve the crisis, have dismissed climate change as a hoax
perpetrated by the left to influence redistribution of wealth.

The issue isn't climate
change, but conservative insolence. Unless they think of it, it can't be done
(or won't be allowed to go forward in any practical manner). And even if they
originally propose ideas (if the left agrees and attempts to follow through as the
right advises initially), Republicans reverse course forthwith.
The nation's crumbling condition
is a casualty of rightwing immaturity coupled with leftwing passivity.
Nothing of crucial importance
can be solved in America today due to the right's spoiled-child syndrome. This
statement sums up why the nation is sliding into the Third World and why the
world speeds to catastrophe. Republicans today are children unwilling to play
fairly with others while vandalizing the playground if not granted full
control. If not leading, they're destroying.
It was interesting one day at
the dentist's to observe a mother and her young son. Two seats were empty: a
bigger chair for an adult and a smaller one child-size. Immediately, the
spoiled son impulsively flung himself into the bigger seat, then threw a loud tantrum
when his mother asked him to move. Mom (the Democrat) finally gave in and
squatted awkwardly into the little seat, almost breaking it in the process.
(Moral: Conciliatory Democrats reinforce bad behavior on the right which leads
to the worst possible outcome for all.)
That's the current picture of
America and how Obama has repeatedly attempted to appease the spoiled child at
the expense of the country's best interests. Republicans will never cooperate but
are willing to sacrifice the country for control. Their constant refrain is "Party
and politics above people."
Why don't' we have the Dream
Act? Why can't jobs bills be passed? Why no practical, affordable health care
system like other industrialized nations? Why do we pay more than any other
nation and get less? Why is the government in total gridlock and the country
reeling from a bad economy?
These are actually questions with
one simple answer: rightwing obstruction. If the spoiled brat can't get its
way, it'll throw a tantrum and destroy the whole playground.
All Democratic presidents are
demonized, no matter what race, sex or regional background. Clinton was scoffed
as a barefoot hick from Arkansas until they found ammo in womanizing -- enough to
impeach. (As if they never indulge in similar secret escapades.) Obama has dark
skin. The right doesn't need much more than that to inflame bigots, their base.
The lies about the man never cease.
If Hillary would have been
elected, anti-women themes and chain emails would be floating around about the
first female president (and will, as soon as she's elected in 2016). These are trademarks
of the Republican Party's never-ending campaign. It's war, actually. They exist
to destroy, not construct. Thus, America is caught in the crossfire. Banana
Republic USA is not far away.
Meanwhile, it gets hotter and
hotter with no relief in sight. Obama's hands are tied. Congress is just a
sounding board for religious fruitcakes (hypocrites) and fake patriots that can
only pass meaningless, repetitive resolutions. Republicans had rather see the
nation lose than Obama win. He gets credit for nothing good, blame for all bad.
They openly promise to sabotage the economy
as part of their campaign.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reaffirmed recently, "The Republican
Party's number one goal is to deny Barack Obama a second term." How more
straightforward can it get?
