After
the terror attacks on 9/11, Osama bin Laden remarked his long term plan
was drawing America into a long drawn out war that would wreak havoc on
the American economy, and shrub junta kindly
obliged him. An act of terrorism to destroy a nation’s economic security
is no less despicable than a suicide bomber destroying a nation’s sense
of physical security, and it is likely a prudent government would take
whatever steps necessary to thwart an act of terror they knew was
underway. After weeks of warnings and blatant threats from a powerful
terror group, America is in the midst of a terror attack, but there is
little the government can do to thwart the terrorists because they are
firmly entrenched in the government.
Terrorists instill fear to
extract concessions from their target, and repugicans are using fear of
a government shutdown and economic devastation to force President Obama
and Democrats to meet their demand to eliminate the Affordable Care Act
and enact steep cuts to Social Security and Medicare. If any American
thinks islamic terror groups such as al Qaeda or the Taliban are any
less dangerous or despicable for killing innocent civilians to extract
demands than repugicans, they are deluded. Unfortunately for Americans, repugican terrorists will inflict damage on millions of Americans’
lives whether their demands are met or not, and it informs that compared
to the repugican cabal, al Qaeda and the Taliban are reasonably kind-hearted
humanitarians. For the American people, the simple truth they must come
to terms with is that regardless if repugicans shut down the
government, crash the economy, or succeed in eliminating the Affordable
Care Act, millions of American lives will be devastated.
On
Friday, Americans witnessed the beginning of the operational phase of a
terrorist act in progress as repugicans in the House passed a budget
with a provision to wipeout the provisions of the ACA. To make matters
worse, Speaker of the House John Boehner had the temerity to announce the terror attack was a victory
for the American people, and doubtless there are terrorist sympathizers
in the population who celebrated an act of terror to deprive 30-million
Americans of healthcare. It is noteworthy that the act of terror is
also an act of insolence in attempting to eliminate a law passed by both
houses of Congress, signed by the President, and ruled constitutional
by the wingnut Supreme Court. House repugicans are now daring
Senate Democrats to foil their terror plot to eliminate the ACA, and if
they do, the terrorists will shut down the U.S. Government. If anyone
thinks the repugicans are not the American version of al Qaeda, they
will be convinced when the next phase of the terror attack gets under
way when the full faith and credit of the United States is the price for
rejecting repugicans’ attempt to deny tens-of-millions of Americans
healthcare.
Shutting down the government is a very serious threat
and one many repugicans are advocating without remorse, but the real
danger lies in the repugican cabal’s threat to cause an economic catastrophe if they
cannot keep millions of Americans sick and dying. There is little
argument from economic experts and repugican leaders alike that a
credit default will create a world encompassing economic and financial
crisis to rival the Great Depression, but with support from 66% of repugican sycophants , the repugican cabal figures economic ruin is a small price to pay to
prevent Americans from gaining access to healthcare. Regardless if
President Obama breaks precedent and negotiates with repugican
terrorists or not, millions of American lives will be adversely impacted
either by losing access to healthcare or suffering through a 21st century Great Depression.
It
is safe to say most Americans expect Islamic extremists affiliated with
al Qaeda to launch terror attacks against innocent American citizens,
but it is likely few expect a devastating attack from members of
Congress. The repugican al Qaeda is worse than Osama bin Laden’s
organization because at least the islamic terrorists gave America a
demand that, although unacceptable, would stop further damage to
innocent victims; repugicans intend to harm Americans whether their
demands are met or not, and it puts them in a special category of evil
even the worst radical islamic terrorist cannot fathom. It is true al
Qaeda or the Taliban have little compunction harming their own people,
but they always give them a way out that doesn’t incur more damage; repugicans revel in inflicting damage on Americans.
It is not
often that intelligence agencies are able to identify and track a terror
group’s activities from the planning stages through to the actual
attack, but the entire nation has witnessed repugicans broadcast their
intent, launch the first stage of the attack, and ready the next phase
that will be more devastating and affect much more than just the
American people and the economy. To be fair to the terrorists, they did
warn the nation two years ago they would hold the debt ceiling hostage
under threat of inflicting major damage to the economy like they did in
2011, but the threat of a government shutdown and defaulting on the
nation’s debt in exchange for keeping millions of Americans sick and
dying, or their Social Security and Medicare intact, exceeds the damage
even the most evil al Qaeda terror cell could dream up to harm the most
American lives.
The President announced not long ago that it was
time to shift the focus of the war on terror, but it is likely he did
not imagine it is time to focus on the true terror threat to America,
its economy, and people; the repugican cabal. For the American people,
they are witness to a crime of terrorism in progress, and although the
majority of Americans shudder at the damage repugicans intend to
inflict on the nation and its people, the unfortunate truth is that many
of them are on the sidelines cheering that the terrorists succeed.
