Legacies. We're surrounded by them.
They're psuedo hibernating, some of them, in their respectable foundations--like Hillary at the Clinton Foundation, coming out only to sniff the air, clearly avoiding Washington snits, and then returning just long enough to have people wonder, "Where is Hillary?". Don't forget Chelsea.
It is in these lairs that the betters among us fulfill their beauty/fitness routines to get in shape for the fight. This foundation scheme is very convenient and is indeed a literal platform from which to spring forward towards the biggest fight of them all: America's presidency.
Then, there's Jeb Bush. And the nephew, George Bush. Why is it, everyone's a candidate, just like Grandpa and Uncle Georges? Enough already. Can't they find real jobs?
Liz Cheney? Okay, I guess. Another legacy, as if she somehow deserves to be where she is by virtue of genealogy.
And one Obama is enough for anyone.
What I like to see in the Republican Party are the new lines and new faces. I like when they kick the president where he lives and try to stop his illegal executive pronouncements like delays in Affordable Care Act.
I enjoy watching the Legislative branch of our government actually performing its job, riding herd over the Executive branch. It's absolutely thrilling to me to see our freshmen congressmen stand up and speak truth to power...and then follow through again and again. These new Turks are serious and seem uninterested in the core power of the old GOP and their rules. I admit to having to renege on my view of nepotism because the son of Ron Paul, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, is tearing up Washington. He's running for president. Then there's Senators Ted Cruz from Texas and Mike Lee of Utah, both attorneys, who are convinced we can name this Affordable Healthcare Act a turkey before it even gets started, and hoping to defund the entire thing.
It is interesting that the President is using the guilt card as he stumps for implementation of the ACA. He likes to say that we Republicans are denying some 30 million people from receiving their coverage. Of course, his metrics are as phony as his rhetoric. What he should be saying is this: your coverage is going to cost you yearly anywhere between $6500 individually and $12,500 for a family. And you have no choice. Those are the real facts. The old guard in the GOP seem to be oblivious to these issues while they hang on to the maddening status quo. In other words, they've given up, as usual, to the drumbeat that the Progressives have kept going, as if there's no other option.
In addition, considering perception in politics is reality, we in the GOP simply cannot risk poor PR--again--by shutting down the government. Surely this matter can be played more deftly than we've done so in the past. Indeed, some Republicans are arguing that the last shut down wasn't all that bad, that we gained seats in Congress, and it all came out in the wash. Be that as it may, the perception overall, was unfortunate, and the low information voter remembers those low lights, instead of the principled debate that the old GOP put forth. One still hears how the bad Republicans blinked, while the Dems and President Clinton played it to the hilt. Let's not make that mistake again.
Rinos need to understand once again that compromising with Progressives is a fool's errand. Some of the new blood in Congress gets that. Whether it be about Obamacare or immigration, we've been had over and over, and the new strong hearts of the party are correct in their impulses to stand firm. Out of all of these new voices, we can hear some strains of exciting and encouraging arguments, while the old is so old that it creaks from its constant preoccupation with twentieth century ideas and solutions, most of which belongs in a trash heap.
The new, on the other hand--those in the GOP who understand governing from strength, are on the cusp of change, ready to relieve the constrictive hold of the middletons in our midst. It is time not to compromise for compromise's sake; rather, the time has come for the GOP to acknowledge a new electorate with a new understanding of what it is to be a twenty-first century citizen of the United States.
New leadership, new ideas and new policies are needed to carry forth a reborn America--one which recalls the greatness of our country--first in the world in all things--as it used to be when we were not ashamed and guilt ridden because of the words of a few minority bosses and race hustlers.
In my theory of "Everything's Wrong in America," a huge axis change must occur. That begins with regular people beginning to understand the old ways of establishment politics. Of course, term limits are a part of that change. The professional politician is the bane of our lives.
Meanwhile, HRA, Hillary Rodham Clinton, is poised to be coronated Queen.
Dear Lord, I'm so sick of her. Why must we have these infernal personalities who are no more caring of you and I than she is of a bunch of animals in a zoo? It is the structure of the system, as well as their deep egos and greed (just how much are the Clintons worth now?), that we are subjected to the constant barrage of their politics and activities.
The Democrat Party has become nothing more than a clown car pouring out entrenched, tired, shameful personalities as old and predictable as ever. The Republicans? Well, fortunately, we've somehow found it in our beings to elect a few stars.
Out with the old; in with the new.
Thanks for the read.
