The obstructionist party of no was obstructed today by a giant “NO!” largely from the grotesquely misnamed anarchist wing of the Republican party--the “Freedom Caucus”--who will be satisfied with nothing short of a “We-Don’t-care-about-poor-or-sick-people” health care law so that their rich bribers have more money with which to bribe them.
Nevertheless, it will not pay to take our eyes off this scheming cabal. They are committed to their unprincipled and anarchist principles. The only freedom that infamous and incongruously named caucus and the yahoo’s who voted them into office know or want is the kind of freedom Cain discovered when he murdered his brother and thus freely acquired his brother’s flocks. They are intent in sacrificing the poor in order to further enrich the already filthy rich.

“And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies:
but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 9.3-6) I know that it is all very dizzying, but let’s see if we can get this straight. First, the man has a psychotic break, accompanied by delusions, and makes clearly false and easily refutable slanderous accusations. “Obama wiretapped my palace.” “The Martians are coming.” Then, with a cynicism unparalleled in our national history, he doubles down on his fantasy, and calls upon congress to waste its time and money investigating his obvious delusion. Everyone knows it’s a lie. When it is clear to everyone but fools that there was no wiretapping, well, “it’s in quotes.” Even fools should understand that when something is placed in quotes, it is an indication, apparently, that it is not meant to say what you think it says. Are you keeping up with this? Well, it gets better. Rather than admit that he is simply out of his mind, the president accuses our closest international ally of doing the dirty work for Obama! Where is Kafka when you need him. It is all absurdity. It is madness. One hardly knows where to put the exclamation points! I am sorry, but the man is an idiot. That’s not anger speaking. It is a simple unassailable fact. The world is round (unless you are a certain NBA player), and the man is a sick, sick man. Totally mental. The latter is as certain as the former. But, it gets better. He is not yet finished with this delusion. “Oh, no evidence that the British are coming? Well I heard it on FOX. I’m just reporting what I heard them say. Go take it up with them!” The madness here is simply too deep to plumb. “You’re not a blasted reporter, (read expletive here). You’re,” gulp, “President of the United States of America. Act like it!” First, get on some medication to stop your delusions. Second, stop lying. Third, be a man and learn to say, “I was wrong.” Fourth, learn your lesson and stop being duped by the money grubbing cynics over at FOX. It is not a—I was going to say “legitimate news source,” but that is giving it too much credit. It is not a news source at all. It is a source of traitorous lies. Now, one might say, “This is a small thing. Stop picking on him over trivial matters. Let’s see what he can do with the things that really matter.” Well, that’s just it. There are, in fact, much more important issues: health care, immigration, regulation, global warming. But, if he cannot discern reality from fantasy in this small matter of wiretapping, how in the world is he to be trusted with these more important matters? He can’t. If his judgement is so poor in discerning a news story from a traitor’s tale, how is he to be trusted with the big, important stuff? He is not. If he doesn’t understand what is appropriate behavior and what is inappropriate behavior in a small matter, how can we place our trust in him? We can’t. If he is such a loose cannon as to make incendiary accusations against an ally, what kind of trouble will he get our nation into with those who are our enemies? Disastrous. Besides, we have already seen him in action in relation to important things. Look what he’s done with immigration. It is downright evil… in the Christian sense. Lucifer inspired and directed. Then, devoid of conscience, he lies to the courts about his intent. He is about to rape the poor, the immigrants, the elderly, the climate… Oh, we could go on. Though perhaps the American electorate has earned his obvious contempt for its intellectual and reasoning capacities, still, the nerve of it all is breathtaking. How long will the electorate choose, consciously choose to believe whatever they darn well please to believe? To heck with the facts! It is all simply astounding!! Surely I am asleep. Dreaming a nightmare. It can’t be real, can it? American can’t have fallen so low. Gone so stupid. Become so darkly evil. The worst of it all, of course, is that his voters have committed themselves to a man that should be committed—as in institutionalized. Knowing his every word is a lie, they will willingly choose to believe his blatant and obvious lies and willfully reject the truth. We are in some deep, deep trouble here. We have a madman leading a nation of madmen. We keep hearing from those who wish to justify that man’s terrorizing of undocumented workers that “my people came here legally, the right way.”
