The Charade of MONSTERS
The other day I decided to flip over to CSpan to see what kind of warped bizarre tactic the Republican Party would try using to even remotely defend their hostage taking of America and our citizens, and their justification of furloughing 800,000 workers who live paycheck to paycheck trying to put nutritious food on their family's table and pay bills. Not to mention the millions of others who will be negatively impacted by this Republican-induced Govt. shutdown.
What I was greeted with was the most horrifying, sickening, and ghastly site I have ever witnessed on this usually mundane and melancholy news channel; a female GOP rep fake crying over the defunding of children's cancer research. A defunding that THEY perpetuated, a defunding months in the making, and a defunding that can easily be resolved. Yet in her heart (or lack thereof) of hearts, she believed that by standing on the House floor, acting out a charade of fake compassion, it may somehow make her decision to cut these kids funding in the first place allow her and her only to sleep better at night, certainly not the parents of these children. It was an amazing (although completely transparent) spectacle of cognitive dissonance. Projection of the highest sort. Like a FOX news tactic, she believed if she kept perpetuating this lie over and over again that it's not her or the Republican Party causing these hardships for millions, maybe she would even start believing her own lies.
This fake crying made my rage-o-meter hit DefCon1. First, because it was so disingenuous that only a complete moron would fall for this fake compassion. Second, because there ARE millions of morons who WILL fall for this fake compassion. And third, because this lady is fucking with ACTUAL lives, real people and children who will suffer because she thought it would be a great idea to defund the Govt., then turn around and put on a charade so she can make sound bites and video clips for future campaign ads and elections just in order to try and keep her own Govt. job, Govt. paycheck, and Govt. healthcare benefits.
And how do I know it's all a charade? How do I know it's fake compassion? Because this is a Republican Party who have proven time and time again that they are heartless soulless MONSTERS.
This from a party that cheers executing inmates.
This from a party that boo's gay soldiers in a war zone.
This from a party that cheers cutting food-aid to children and struggling families, veterans, seniors, and the disabled.
This from a party that viciously stands against expanding healthcare to millions.
This from a party that votes against helping those effected by natural disasters.
This from a party that votes to keep wages low, crush unions, and outsource jobs.
This from a party that openly treats others as second class citizens, denies equality, and despises the working class.
This from a party that proudly cuts funding for education, early education, and school lunch programs.
This from a party that hyper-actively sends kids to war in foreign countries while cutting their benefits upon their return.
This from a party that watched 26 children get massacred in under 6 minutes and STILL took the NRA's side.
And now THIS from a party that cuts children's cancer research because of its own warped and delusional ideological reasons.
At every turn the Republican Party ALWAYS puts party over country. Their own best interests over our country's best interests. The ONLY things Republicans love is hate, greed, power, and control.
EVERYTHING else is just a charade.
