| Republican Civility = "Go F__k Yourself." |

“Go f— yourself,” Boehner sniped as he pointed his finger at [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid, according to multiple sources present. Reid, a bit startled, replied: “What are you talking about?” Boehner repeated: “Go f— yourself.” The harsh exchange just a few steps from the Oval Office — which Boehner later bragged about to fellow Republicans — was only one episode in nearly two months of high-stakes negotiations laced with distrust, miscommunication, false starts and yelling matches as Washington struggled to ward off $500 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts. I'm guessing most rational people recognize the problem in Washington is not a problem with Democrats; it's clearly a Republican problem. But that's not even what I want to say about this. I have an 11-year-old 7th grader. How am I supposed to teach my child that it is inappropriate to treat his friends, teachers, employers and complete strangers civily when we have Republicans in Washington acting like this? Republican leaders apparently believe it is reasonable to talk like this while dealing with others. John Boehner is second in line to be President of the United States of America, and this is how he treats the people we expect him to work with every day. This is Kevin Cramer's leader. It's embarrassing. And then he went and bragged about it? I do not understand how any reasonable, America-loving, rational human can continue to affiliate with the Republican Party any longer. To those of you who do... You all should be ashamed of yourselves. You built this.

Politico is reporting this was part of the negotiation process in the White House recently:

... What do you expect? Is anyone surprised? This whole nutty bunch are completly convinced that the Austrian Theory is its chief proponent Grover Norquist that the only way to fix America is to forcibly shrink our government via tax reductions in order to "Shrink government so small that we can drown it in a bathtub" (Grover). They view government as the only enemy except maybe some Muslims or a few that still see a Commie under every rock. In reality, their theory is so flawed that it does not require much debate. Furthermore, they are the unwitting dupes of the Elites who fund them, run them, control them, convince them that one day they too will acheive Elite status or better yet---Royal families and the dispensing of any form of democracy. Just too cumbersome and the rabble(that is us) are incapable of taking care of business and God in His infinite wisdom has annointed "them" to be God's soldiers. Wow, what a mouthful!!!! The Democrats have yet to confront this assault on our liberties. They still think that you can negotiate---ala Clinton. That is an abject failure of possessing real beliefs and the character to fulfill our destiny. The enemies of the American Dream are organized, have limitless funds, a plan and patience. They are what Franklin tried to warn us about. And 150 years later, so did Eisenhower. Can we ever grasp that we must heed these warnings? I hold that our entire future rests on our committment to these ideals and principles. |
