Political Stupidity

I have been neglecting this blog, instead occasionally posting the odd political observation in the other one.

So I'm back to the political blog to vent on the whole frustrating picture.

Here we sit with Al Quaeda and an assortment of other radical Islamists wanting to wipe us out, borders nearly wide open, and a government that cares more about their own power and wealth than the welfare of the country.

And what's happening in Washington?

All night slumber parties in an empty pretense to please the anti-war left.

Impeachment talk to please the anti-war left.

Insults to the general population for loudly voicing their displeasure over a bill to open the borders even wider, followed by temper tantrums and vows to do nothing about border security.

Cowed Republicans afraid of their own shadows. And the big bad media machine.

Democrats introducing bill after bill and mounting investigation after investigation, all designed to embarrass George Bush.

Republicans simply voting against the Democrat bills to block as many as possible. Any that make it through will just be vetoed anyway.

A media machine so closely tied to the political parties that the idea of "objective journalism" has become a bad joke.

Democrats angry that Talk Radio is more identified with the Right, so they try to revive the "Fairness Doctrine". But their version would only apply to AM Radio, since they already own NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, etc. etc. ad infinitem.

Sort of like the old story of Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Congress plays petty politics while Al Quaeda plots and uninvited foreigners invade and conquer, one state at a time.

One day soon, an Iranian nuclear device will be carried into the United States across the Mexican border by somebody from Al Quaeda. It will be detonated in a major city, most likely DC or NY.

Assuming those left alive, the Democrats will blame Bush. Republicans will blame Democrats. The rest of us will blame the whole bunch of stupid, corrupt, narcissistic political leaders we were stupid enough to send to Washington.

I mourn for those who will learn too late that the enemy is real, is seriously bent on their destruction, and is not named George Bush. Want to impeach him? Then impeach him for failing to perform his duties, such as enforcing immigration laws and enforcing antitrust laws. But to do that, we would have to retroactively impeach his predecessors; Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.

Wouldn't it be better to just find a real leader to elect as Bush's replacement next year? Better hurry, because the field is already crammed with the same old hacks.
