Dr. Strangelove: Or how I learned to stop worrying and laugh as the GOP committed suicide.

The more I listen to the dribble that comes out of the mouth of the GOP the more my mind glazes over like a doughnut. I swear, they are all starting to sound like Charlie Browns teacher to me every time they try and articulate words....Waw wawa wa waw. Honestly I don't care how Romney feels about Gingrichs' record. I don't care how Gingrich feels about Romneycare. I don't watch Jersey Shore because of it's a brainless and completely Godless waste of time and space. I don't tune into a presidential debate to see the same thing. I wonder if these things are tempered thus because Americans have dropped to double digit IQ's. Possibly even as low as room temperature. When is a candidate going to say to a moderator: "My friend, I respect that you asked me the question however, I believe that the American people no longer wish to watch dirty politics and name calling. It does not matter how I feel about another candidates policies. Would you please, sir (or ma'am), ask me a question on my policies and hold my feet to the fire on whether I am right, wrong, or telling the truth."

Still waiting.

Let's talk about taxes now. It doesn't take a genius or someone with full set of teeth to look at our tax code and say, "Wow, that doesn't make a lot of sense". While some on the right have come out with plans to make changes to it, to which I commend them, no one has really stuck it too the left on the truth of American taxes. Here's what I mean:

The left says, "Tax the rich. Tax the rich."

The right says, "Trickle down economics. Trickle down economics."

While I don't disagree with trickle down economics, the average American is saying, "The tax code is messed up and needs fixed. It does, at times, overly favor the rich because they were involved with writing it. It does allow people who don't pay income taxe to recieve income tax return for having lots of kid and being single." So where is the leader who says, "The tax code is broke. But all you people who are calling for tax the rich are just using code words for class warfare Communism. Taht being said, we will not listen to you. Instead, we are going to strive to find an American capitalist way to fix our tax code."

Since we are talking capitalism we will go there next.

The left says, "Capitalism has failed. Capitalism has failed."

The right says,"..........Trickle down economics."

Where is the one to stand up and say, "Of course what we have is failing. It's not true capitalism. Look to the past how great capitalism has been and how much it has provided for the world. Even in a time when it was broken. We have not been a true capitalist country since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. While some during the 20th century have been able to make capitalist gains under this system, it is still not true capitalism. It is really economic totalitarianism. No leader has said that yet.

Waiting. Twittling my thumbs.

How bout this one:

The left, "A woman has a right to choose."

Where's the leader to say,"Yes a woman does have the right to choose. If she so chooses to abort her own body no one is going to stop her. However, we have a duty to make sure that the body that is growing inside her is protected."

The left counters,"What about rape and incest?"

The leader says,"Well right now we are working on a system where convicted rapists and child molesters get the electric chair. Once that is implemented that problem will be drastically reduced."

How about the contraception mandate? Obama will waive it...but....

If the right does not say we will not back down until it is out of the law (or the law is repealed) then they are pathetically myopic. As soon as Obama sees another opportunity (Like after 2012?) that waiver will go the way of the Constitution; Right down the White House plumbing.

Still waiting....Would someone please check if Boehner is a man please. Maybe Pelosi left a crap load of estrogen in that room and it made their testicles shrivel? Just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Lastly, I'm going to talk about Concealed Carry Reciprocity. Yes my cynicism knows no bounds. It transcends race and culture and is an equal opportunity employer.

Before I say that it's a bad idea, let me explain a bit. It's not a bad idea as an idea, It's a bad idea as an indicator. Here's why:

The law says that each state must recognize the rights granted by other states. Did you catch that? Rights granted by other states. Last I checked my right to keep and bear arms came from God. So even though this is a law that is supposed to guarantee rights, it is guaranteeing rights given to us by the state (or states). As an indicator this shows just how far America has fallen from Her identity. So even Constitutional rights are granted by the states? I guess Barak Obama was right when he removed Creator from our Declaration! It seems, in practice, the right agrees with that.

I can hear Wayne LaPierres argument now,"We had to do this because of what the left is done!" Yes Wayne, I understand that. But my concern is that no one has pointed this out yet. I'm not a genius. Heck, I didn't even finish high school and I'm missing teeth (Luckily they are molars so you can't see it), but I figured this out. So I want to be clear and state that I don't disagree with the law. I'm just disgusted at what it indicates about America. I'm further disgusted that no leader stood up and said it.

I'll leave you all with this:

Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discrimination, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it. Let us not ignore this fact, my dear brethren; but let us lay it to heart, and be thoroughly awake to our responsibility in respect to the morals of this nation. --Charles G. Finney, December 4, 1873
