I read today that Darrel Issa a Republican representative is going to investigate the Obama Administration for wrongdoing.
What is it with the Republican Party that they produce such leaders as Joe McCarthy who in the fifties went on a witch hunt for communist sympathizers during the 1950’s, Richard Nixon who engaged in criminal activities and went after imagined enemies in a fit of paranoia , Dick Cheney and George Bush Jr., who started a war against an imagined Iraq with weapons of mass destruction, Newt Gingrich who brought the US government to a halt in his persecution of the imagined charges against President Clinton and now Darrel Issa, to name only a few?
These are people of a party that would have felt right at home during the Spanish Inquisition and the persecution of Galileo a man who brought the truth to the world, the Salem Witch trials that persecuted innocent people, the purge trials of Joseph Stalin who persecuted those imagined enemies to consolidate his power and the Ayatollahs of today who seek to punish and destroy those who they imagine are their enemies.
If there actually were vampires in America who sucked the blood of its citizens could anyone doubt that these vampires would be Republicans?
Today’s Republicans are the Barbarians at the Gate. They have no positive program to build America so their only recourse is to appear to be doing something by claiming to investigate an imagined evil that has been done, as did McCarthy and Nixon.
I continue to fear for Democracy in America. I pity those Americans who were fooled and fueled by lies to vote for this Party of Evil. My respect for those few Republicans left who are of rational thought diminishes each day they refuse to ask of their leadership "Have you no shame?".
As I have said before, Halloween of 2010 will last a long time.
