Welcome to the conflict every corporate sponsored Republican has secretly feared for decades; the showdown between the Right-wing Crooks and the far Right Crazies.
The American Asshole led by the Crazies, have finally gained legitimate political representation in Congress. These wayward souls now have a seat at the table, albeit the kid’s Thanksgiving table where they will be barred from interrupting adults having serious discussions.
Republican Party chieftains and their corporate handlers will placate the upstart irritants with “benign neglect” for as long as they can. But this could prove difficult since the American Asshole will now be close enough to smell the scent of fresh bullshit as it is being cooked up.
When the American Asshole realizes what the Democrat voters instinctively sensed but were too shell shocked to admit, all hell will break loose. The fact that the revitalization of the US economy is more than two decades away, no matter what efforts are made in the short term, is being kept as closely guarded a secret as the formula for Coca Cola.
The ugly truth that neither Party has the slightest inkling as to how to significantly lower the rate of unemployment with an over paid and under educated/trained workforce is at the very core of America’s economic dilemma. No politician in his or her right mind is going to divulge that truth, fearing the backlash of a revolutionary magnitude.
Hence, we have the emergence of the Tea Party Candidates, a heretofore, loose network of individuals, many of whom are truly out of their minds. These far right Crazies are on a head-on collision with the Republican Crooks in their Party. The new Crazies elected by the emerging American Asshole will be just nutty enough to start asking the tough questions. It is the convoluted answers they will get that will set them off.
When they find their filthy rich Republican brethren are just as bankrupt of quick fix solutions to America’s economic woes, while being forced to admit they really have none of their own, the American Asshole could snap. Herein lies the danger, for unlike their cousins across the big pond facing austerity measures, these folks are well armed and they’ll be looking for somebody to blame. If history is any guide, the Republican establishment will try to direct the Asshole’s aim at anyone that don’t look, pray or live as they do.
While fueled by a low wattage intellect but highly energized by anger, homophobia, racism, and religious intolerance, this Fox Media led mob of morons will be primed for confrontation. The American Asshole has been whipped up into a frenzy and may not be able to be talked down.
The primary triggering mechanism will be evident when the Assholes finally understand that long cherished entitlements must be defunded at the expense of seniors and the poor. The secondary explosions will go off among Democrats as the Republicans exert efforts to roll back President Obama’s legislative reforms without having anything to replace them with but rhetoric.
In order to circumvent a total implosion of the nation’s economy, the American Asshole will be compelled to tell their grandmas and grandpas the government’s gravy train has been derailed. Social Security as we’ve known it is a luxury of the past, Medicare/Medicaid must be scaled back so far as to be meaningless and the masses of poor will be left out in the cold. As these realities come to fruition, the top 2% income earners will quietly snicker all the way to the bank.
In the end, the regular guy and gal will see no new jobs, their meager wages will continue to fall as healthcare costs continue to rise, foreclosures will hit new peaks and they will find Congress’ actual job is to lower America’s expectations as they manage America’s decline. This, of course, is all avoidable by simply letting a generation, maybe two; know they are essentially screwed and that we as a nation must prepare for the future.
Just as President Obama and Nancy Pelosi were consistently bitten in the ass by Blue Dog Democrats, the Crazies will prepare a bitter brew for John the “Tan Man” Boehner and the “pelican necked” Mitch McConnell. The one bright spot in all the madness will be watching the Crooks try to tell the Crazies and their army of American Assholes “no” for a change.
