ut oh, the irony.
Now it’s far-right Conservatives who are so very hostile to our democratic laws. In fact, they’re so hostile that they aren’t just symbolically attacking our constitutional system of national government, they’re literally attacking Ernest Tubbit, actually driving it to its knees.
Apoplectic over the Affordable Care Act, which was passed by both houses of Congress, signed by the President, and sanctioned by the U.S. Supreme Court, it is the far right wing that has engineered a substantial crippling of the federal government.
Indeed, it’s no longer “those long haired, hippie-type pinko fags,” to quote Charlie Daniels.
Rather, it is Conservatives who are now protesting; it is Conservatives who are criticizing; it is Conservatives who are marching; and it is Conservatives who are attacking the foundations of our constitutional government but shutting it down as part of their effort to overturn a democratic law.
Now that is irony.
And of course the easiest thing for progressives and liberals everywhere would be to seize upon that irony and co-opt the phrase for themselves. To smugly turn the invective around and target those who once fired it at them.
