Look at the Clinton impeachment. I always say that the repugicans launched a witch hunt and they eventually caught a witch. My point being, they were out to destroy Clinton from day one, with zero evidence to justify their jihad against the man. They didn’t like the way the election went, so they tried to reverse by nearly all means necessary.
Democratic electoral victories, progressive court victories, are not legitimate in repugican cabal eyes. And if repugicans find themselves losing the game, fair and square, they simply change the rules.
Of course, it’s more than simply hating America and the way our democracy is wired. The repugicans hate facts, and they loathe reality. Reality, you see, has a liberal bias. If we let judges rule, citizens vote, journalists report, students study, and scientists research – all independently – for some strange reason they keep coming up with conclusions that, more often than not, go against the repugican cabal.
Hell, repugican president wannabe Marco Rubio couldn’t even admit that the earth was 4.5 billion years old a few months back, lest he inflame the flat-earth base of his own cabal.
Look at the repugican position on education. For some reason, when people go and get an education, they start to disagree with a lot of repugican positions (this is related to the repugican cabal’s judge, journalist and scientist problem). So, rather than conclude that maybe people with educations don’t like repugicans because, you know, they’re now better informed about the world – repugicans have concluded that college “brainwashes” kids to become liberals, and thus education is bad. As a result, you have people like repugican presidential candidate Rick Santorum criticizing the notion as “elitist” that an American parent might want their kid to go to college.
The repugicans must destroy any institution that guarantees, any result that comes from, an objective assessment of the facts.
And that’s why more than half of the repugicans polled, in various recent polls, want to see President Obama impeached and removed from office. HuffPost concluded, “More than anything, surveys finding support for impeachment show just how divided Americans are today along party lines and how strongly rank-and-file members of each party dislike presidents from the opposing party.”
But it’s far worse than that. America isn’t divided. The repugicans are seceding. There’s a difference. It’s a bit like me walking down the street minding my own business, you decide to mug me out of nowhere, and an observer says “the boys are divided.” The boys aren’t divided. One boy was walking quite peaceably minding his own business, while the other boy attacked him. Such is the state of our democracy.
The repugican cabal is in 24-hour attack mode, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. And their victim isn’t just Democrats, it’s democracy itself.
