We hear from the Republicans about the "liberal media," always shading everything in favor of the Democrats and the liberals. In the 30 July online New York Times front page is an article about the ethics problems of Democrat Representative Charles B. Rangel, which says that it's a "potential embarrassment for the Democratic leadership during the election season." Right next to that article is another article about the S. E. C. charges against the Wyly brothers, the billionaire brothers from Dallas who are "large donors to philanthropies and to conservative causes." No mention that charges of fraud by conservatives who support Republicans are any embarrassment to Republicans. None at all. No big deal. It's just taken for granted that, well, that's just the way Republicans operate. Fraudulently.
The Republican party of Iowa wants "the reintroduction and ratification of the original 13th Amendment." This is an effort to strip President Obama of his citizenship based on the wording of that supposed 13th Amendment that would make receiving the Nobel Prize a crime.
Fact: I looked at the constitution and the 13th amendment there is the original one, the only one there has ever been, and it only eliminates slavery and nothing else. There never has been another 13th amendment. The one in existence is the original and only one. The Republicans are not aware that it has to be a part of the constitution to actually be an amendment.
Abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality, manifests auditory and perceptual hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction.
That last one there fits Sarah Palin particularly well, since she couldn't complete her occupation as Governor of Alaska and quit.
The symptoms above describe schizophrenia, a mental abnormality. And it also fits so very perfectly the people mentioned above who are the best the Republicans have to offer.
A million years ago there were Republicans sitting beside us up in the trees. They argued against going down to the ground and walking around a little bit. That move from the trees to the ground was the first step in the transition of humans from gibbering apes to what we are today. Those Republicans are still with us. Still gibbering schizophrenically about what they haven't the ability to understand.
If it had been left up to the Republicans and they had got their way and had we listened to them and not taken that first step, we would still be sitting up in the trees, howling and scratching our asses.
