Is this all-out, too-the-death, political warfare an appropriate way to govern the country? When the my-way-or-the-highway crowd says that nothing is more important than what they want and that they get it the WAY they want it, can there be a more morally corrupt bargain possible? Is it even justifiable for a minority party? If the Democrats were the minority party, would I be singing a different tune. No.
The list is long. The items listed in this piece are only the beginning. The GOP is all in. They view the rule of the minority to be more important that the rule of the majority. Think about that for a bit. Rule of law, majority rule, representative democracy.... All of that is out the window with Republican obstructionists. They are fighting to the death for homophobia, xenophobia, death to 9/11 responders, a crippled judiciary, a compromised national defense, a failing education system, a polluted environment and crumbling national infrastructure.
Government for profit? Public Theft? Corporate Cruelty? Political terrorism? Political zealotry? Refusing to compromise? Fighting to the death? Is this an appropriate discourse in the United States of America? Are these "American Values" worth fighting for? Not to me...
