If It Walks Like A Duck And Talks Like A Duck...

...it must be a duck; unless you think like a (tea-bagging) Republican.

Our political climate is rife with unchained fervor right now and it's kind of freaking me out. The more the Democrats progress, the louder and crazier the Republicans get. I've tried to stay out of it - really, I have - but - well, I just can't. At least not this morning.

Thanks to guys like Hitler and George W. Bush (with their underdeveloped intelligence and over-developed senses of self) who've modeled a pattern of behaviors that show folks that they can say and do whatever they want whenever they want and to whomever they want - no matter how horrifying, ridiculous or detrimental - seemingly "normal" people have begun to create an entirely separate and distorted realm of "reality" wherein hatred, intolerance, anger and violence are the modus operandi.

If their messages weren't so glaringly dangerous, I would find the irony of the far right's desire to kill and destroy everyone in their path sort of amusing. Everything that they say they stand for is, in fact, the exact opposite of what they do, who they are and how they operate. It doesn't take a super-genius to figure that out, so I guess the amusing part is how gullible (read: stupid) the average right-winger is. Sorry, folks - but ya are stupid, ya are.

I guarantee you that if Glenn Beck or that flaming asshat, Rush Limbaugh, said the sky was green because of some demon witchcraft brewed up by Obama, they'd all fall in line under a clear-blue sky demanding Obama's head on a platter. Stupid lemmings.

I use the word "stupid" intentionally because ignorant is no longer a viable option. It's not like facts and information aren't available. Even if you're dirt poor and live in a cave, you can always go to the library and use a computer. I have a feeling, though, that the stupidest of the stupid are actually a well-dressed, well-coiffed, pinky ring-wearing bunch who happen to have access to microphones or television cameras and who try to scare the shit out of anyone who will listen to them. If there's an alternative to brazen stupidity - sheer, unharnessed, irrational, unflinching stupidity - I'm all ears.

I want to point out that not all conservatives (Republicans, right-wingers, etc...) should be lumped in with the lunatics. It's too bad, though, that they haven't held their own to a higher standard of accountability. In that regard, their actions (or lack thereof) are even more unconscionable than the crazy-makers'.

This continued behavior is embarrassing - it's like having six crazy, drunk, half-naked, gun-toting aunts running around the family reunion. Oh sure, it's funny to watch (and by funny, I mean horrifying), but these people have disgraced themselves, their party and this country immeasurably.

That's all.
