Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) wrote in an op-ed in Friday’s edition of “The Washington Post”, he says, “ ‘Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is under assault, and that is wrong. No matter who is in the White House, we Republicans must stand up for the sanctity of our democracy and the rule of law.’ ”
Since when? For the entire period the Republicans held the congressional majority during Obama’s presidency, leaders of the G “NO” P ignored the sanctity of our democracy and were constantly changing the rule of law to suit their partisan purposes. (Like your bullsh!t voter I.D. laws.)
Frist, like his Republican brethren in congress, wants everyone to forget the decades they spent subtly convincing their right wing followers they are under attack from all sides. Republican con-men made white, poorly educated conservatives believe they were the most oppressed members of our society. Right-wingers were told the so-called “war on Christmas” was an assault on conservative Christians’ right to say “merry Christmas”, and that saying anything other than “Happy Holidays” was illegal. Of course, as perpetual victims, conservatives believed this.
It is the same with gay rights. For countless years, conservatives have been told gays, if permitted to marry, will come after their children. And they believe this is true, just like their imagined “war on Xmas”. (It therefore follows. once homosexuals have turned all the kids gay, their next goal will be kicking in the doors of God fearing conservative Christians to confiscate their guns.)
People of reason and rational thought can’t help but laugh at the total nonsense conservatives have been fed by the RNC, and have eagerly eaten up as truth.
The Republican Party leaders’ blueprint for creating an oligarchy to rule the United States from the shadows dates back to the Reagan administration. And it was successfully on track until the idiot trump high jacked the GOP’s ignorant base.
Immediately after beginning his campaign, the idiot trump threw the Republican leaders’ subtle approach away. He waded right in, encouraging his mindless followers to do as he does, abandon civility, deride the physically disabled and the mentally handicapped, and to feel free to express the hatred they have been forced by polite society to keep bottled-up inside.
At his rallies, the idiot trump urged audience members to violently attack protesters who were present. And the idiot trump’s open disrespect for women was an instant hit with working class white men, most of whom believe a beer gut and a foul mouth are the attractive qualities a woman looks for in a man.
Yes, unlike the the slow but sure methods used by the GOP over the past four decades, the idiot trump fast-tracked the acceptance of conservatives’ racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, and ending our democracy in exchange for the totalitarian (read as: “small”) government the conservatives have longed to create.
Naturally, the congressional Republicans are pleased, for the most part at least, with the idiot trump’s success in reversing Obama era policies. But, his irrational and negative reactions towards leaders of our allied nations, and the assistance the idiot trump is giving to Putin’s efforts to break the western nation’s alliance, can only hurt corporate profits.
And, while the idiot trump is a billionaire-type the GOP’s politicians are sworn to serve, there are few, if any congressional Republicans who would not greatly prefer to have Sheldon Adelson, Foster Friess, Charles Koch, David Koch, or some other member of the 0.1% calling the shots from the White House. Any of these men would be better than the idiot trump, he puts his ego ahead of the GOP’s ultimate goals far too often, and his blatant Nazism is an embarrassment.
So Frist, you and the other “hand-wringing hypocrites” in the Republican Party have no reason to claim you are the defenders of “the sanctity of our democracy and the rule of law”. Why would you? Neither issue has been of any importance to the GOP in the past.
