A speech a Republican needs to give
I come to the floor of the Senate today to speak, not as a Republican, but as an American. What I’m about to say will probably cost me my seat at the next election, but so be it. This is not about what’s best for me, or my party, but what’s best for America. It’s time to end the insanity, and take back our once reasoned conservative party.
First of all – No! The President was not born in Kenya! He’s not a secret Muslim, or the love child of Malcolm X and Bernadine Dorn…he’s really not! Now, there came a time when saying what I just said would be “common sense and non-controversial”, but in today’s world of “hate radio” and t-bagging insanity, I’ve just become a traitor to the Republican cause. How the “eff” sick it that? How far have we fallen, where simply stating what we all know to be true, that “President Obama is legally and ethically authorized to serve as President”, would be considered “blasphemy” to the conservative ideology? He’s won two landslide elections, and NO! His voters were not “illegal Immigrants” and his victories were not the result of “massive voter fraud”. He’s an American…PERIOD! What the “eff” is wrong with you people?
And Obamacare? NO! It’s not some “socialist-death-panel-Armageddon enducing” program…it’s a reasoned and rational law, designed to provide comprehensive health care to the uninsured, or under-insured. Hell! A great deal of it came from the “effing” Heritage Foundation. Obamacare is the type of program that Eisenhower, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan and even Lincoln could have got behind. For Christ’s sake, call it Reagan-care if it makes you feel any better, but it’s NOT what the T-bagging idiots have been telling you. It’s not the Apocalypse, unless you think that, as it’s working, it’s demonstrating the vapid, nonsensical and downright crazy ideas that fill the heads of every Goddamn Limbaugh listener who calls your Senate or House office asking; “why haven’t you had the Sergeant at Arms arrest President Obama yet?” Seriously, these are the people who we Republicans listen to today???
And NO! Planned Parenthood is not involved in some “Black Market criminal conspiracy” to sell “baby-parts” to the highest bidder..AND, they get next to nothing in Federal Funding. Unless we are going to cut off every single medical organization or doctor that takes Medicaid patients, we need to leave Planned Parenthood alone. Oh I know the stories about tiny little hearts being donated for medical research get the crazies in our party fired-up, but its bullshit, and it’s deceitful. Bottom line is that fetal tissue donation is a common practice, and without scientific research, we’d all still be dying at the age of 40 from disease and petulance. And that’s another thing…Science is not a bad thing! It’s not some occult Black Magic designed to ensure you rot in hell. I know that by even saying the word “science”, I run the risk of being primaried in the next election cycle, but like I said, this is not about me. It’s about taking our party back from the brink of fascism and madness.
And all of this horse-shit about taxes?? Hell, that’s all been a ruse for over 30 years so that we can pit one American against another. Joe Six-pack listens to hate-radio, and he’s convinced himself that the only reason he’s not successful, is because his tax money is being taken and given to someone else. Well, you know…HE’S RIGHT! His tax money is being taken and given to someone else, but it’s not the bum on the street, or the criminal, or the non-existent “Welfare Queen”…His money is being taken and given to the Corporate CEO who lines our pockets up here in Washington.
So, there it is. To summarize
- President Obama is an American.
- Obamacare is a program we should support.
- Planned Parenthood is NOT a criminal organization that rivals ISIS.
And
- All this talk of tax-cuts is just Class Warfare against the poor and the middle class.
Those are just 4 examples of the crazy lies being told every day. Those lies are just examples of what you get when you allow hate-radio and Fox News to run your party. It’s time to take back the Republican Party from the crazies.
And Ted Cruz…EFF YOU TOO!!!!
