Don't Bother, They're Here

            If you don’t meet our demands, we will temporarily eliminate your government, at no cost to ourselves, until you stop causing us to eliminate your government and bend to our will.  If you meet our demands, you can keep your government.  What kinds of clowns think this way?  The ones we elected!  Now do you see the error of your ways?

            Send in the clowns who believe it is ethical to damage our economy and millions of American citizens if the President and the Senate fail to throw away one of the laws of our land.  And by the way, nothing in that law is unconstitutional.  Nothing in that law will cause anywhere near the wreckage inflicted by a government shutdown.

            Send in the clowns who can waste millions of taxpayer dollars, repeatedly failing to overturn a law, then make these threats and say they are doing it to protect Americans from “the tyranny of the majority.”  They are bullies threatening to bloody America’s nose.  Some of them even believe the falsehood-based story they are telling.  They are probably the most dangerous—they don’t even realize they are joined in a tyranny of the minority. 

            Send in the clowns who think there is something proper about running a government on stopgap Continuing Resolutions in the first place.  This is a signal of intellectual failure and practical ineptitude, for which Americans pay 24-7-365. 

            On second thought, don’t bother.  Around here, we think the clowns are already in the House.
