You
may have noted that Harry “The Hilarious” Reid, the Senate Majority Leader,
made another of his cameo appearances.
This is the guy who has buried bill after bill after bill from the House
of Representatives and then whines that they haven’t voted on his slap dash
bill they threw together last week.
Forget that for weeks he has had a House bill that would extend all the
current tax rates and has steadfastly refused to bring it out for an up or down
vote. Forget that he has not produced a
budget for four years in direct defiance of his constitutional duty. Forget that he hasn’t proposed a single
actual spending cut. Forget that he
demanded twenty years of Mitt Romney’s tax returns but has yet to produce a
single tax return of his own. By the
way, you Maven of Mirth, where’s the apology you, your acolytes and your
“reliable source” owe Governor Romney for saying he never paid taxes? You are such a cutup.
The
national debt has now escalated to over $16.4 TRILLION dollars, half of which
has occurred during your six-year run as Senate Leader. Who are you to lecture anyone on fiscal
responsibility? And exactly why are you
getting a pay raise? Why don’t you
explain how if it is bad for the economy to raise taxes on the middle class,
how it is good for the economy to raise taxes on the rich? In fact, just exactly how do you plan to grow
the economy? Oh that’s right, you don’t
have a plan. When you do come up with
one, I’m sure we’ll have to pass it to find out what’s in it. That worked really well last time, didn’t it?
We
won’t find out any more about the details of our government gun-running
operation “Fast and Furious” this year than we did last year. However, expect all sorts of Chris Mathews’
spittle about gun control and assault weapons.
If someone swings a baseball bat at you, is that an assault weapon? Ask Tiger Woods if a nine iron is an assault
weapon. If someone tries to stab you, is
a knife an assault weapon? If someone
tries to run you down with a car, is an automobile an assault weapon? Expect tons of Washington time to be spent on
how many bullets can legally be in a clip or magazine by people who don’t the
difference between automatic and semi-automatic weapons. Expect the media and the internet to continue
to rail about the Bushmaster AR-15 that was used in the Newtown massacre. It wasn’t but don’t let the truth get in the
way. Expect Hollywood to wax poetic
about abhorring gun violence while continuing to stylize murder and
mayhem. Expect video games to get
progressively more graphic and violent. Expect
liberals to continue to strongly protect the rights of criminals and judges to
release more of them back into society.
Expect liberals to mainstream the mentally ill. Expect the Department of Justice to jail a
filmmaker for a movie trailer that had nothing to do with the Benghazi murders
but expect the Department of Defense to give unparalleled access to the makers
of “Zero Dark Thirty” and give no thought to Muslim reactions to the latter.
Don’t
expect Hillary to shed any light on Benghazi.
Doesn’t it seem odd that none of the survivors of the attack have been
interviewed by the Congressional committees?
Are they also suffering from medical difficulties? If there is systemic failure, why hasn’t
anyone been fired? Oh that’s right,
they’ll get pay raises too….
Washington
politicians will continue to talk out of both sides of their mouths on both
sides of the aisle. They’ll all come out
with far more wealth than when they went in.
They’ll make sure that outsiders never interfere with the political
ruling class. It’s a political insider
club sucking the economic life out of America.
Here we are at the end of the year on the edge of another fiscal
disaster perpetrated on the American public by our duly elected
representatives. If you elect clowns,
you shouldn’t be surprised when a circus breaks out.
