Mutiny on the Bountiful

Over the past few weeks stories have emerged and discussion flows regarding the malevolent mutineers who have taken control of the Ship of State. Republican politicians and strategists met over a lavish dinner a few blocks from the White House on the night of President Barack Obama's Inaugural celebrations. That night they formulated and solidified their plan to effectively hobble the new President's agenda by any and all means at their disposal.

Since that time, we have borne witness to the obstruction, lies, propaganda, smears,and general mayhem resulting from the implementation of their devious plan. The RNC, the GOP House and Senate, the Republicans in the various state governments throughout the US have sabotaged the economic recovery at all times. The Bush years had created the mess, and these guys are determined to keep rubbing Americas' face in it. All this for the singular goal of removing the black man from the White House.

If they could fool all of the people all of the time, this strategy may have worked for our treasonous Pirates of the Wannabeans. And to be fair, they have convinced many within their own ranks of the wisdom of mutiny. They know their own, they understand how to control and manipulate the GOP base through fear and greed and racism. Winning at any cost through carefully crafted false messaging, voter disenfranchisement, buying off the public through massive funding from wealthy donors and Super PACS, creating diversions and scandals, inventing outrage, propping up talking heads to spew endless nonsense are just some of the tools in their treasure chest.

The damage done to millions of Americans has been intentionally prolonged because these Republicans CHOOSE to block the necessary steps to full recovery. They thrill at the sound of higher gas prices, economic downturns, weak employment numbers, trouble in Europe. In GOP Land, bad is good!

This week they have chosen to make Eric Holder walk the plank. He is black, the highest ranking law enforcement official in the Obama Administration, the perfect proxy for our racist and dastardly mutineers. The Pirates of the Wannabeans are having their fun at the expense of America.

Sail on, sail on, oh Ship of State!
