I’ll Huff and I’ll Puff and I’ll Blow Your House Down
by Malik Isasis
Ah, the Republican Party. Remember them? A bunch of lemmings who lead from the top down, mesmerize by power for the sake of power, self-indulgent fear mongers, imperialists, corporate pirates with a penchant for collapsing under the weight of pure unadulterated incompetence once every generation.
Drama Queens
The Republican Party although still very dangerous, seems like a shadow of them old selves. On February 14, 2008, Bush as usual whined and tried to bully the passage of a bill. This time the bill was the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which passed the Senate but failed in the House. Chicken Little stated that the U.S. could face attacks that would make 9/11 pale by comparison. In what appeared to be a choreographed performance, House Republicans staged a walkout when House Democrats voted to hold two of Bush’s cabinet members in contempt for refusing to testify in an ongoing investigation, rather than voting on Bush’s request to make FISA permanent.
The Republicans walked out onto the steps in front of a readied mic. Not a detail was left out on their spontaneity. The walkout by the Republicans and Bush’s poor governance through bullying, fear mongering and whining looked pathetic. The statute of limitations on using 9/11 as a reference to get your way has run out, right Giuliani? The country has moved on, yet the Republicans are performing their tired act before an empty room.
The Peter Principle
The modern Republican Party overrun with neocons, and religious fanatics has made the party an unsustainable movement. The country needs more than Laissez faire tax cuts, fear and Jesus to remain a viable power in the world. Maybe it’s their political DNA, which tends toward fascism upon reaching the pinnacles of power. What is clear though, is throughout the 20th century; the Republicans have wrought disaster after disaster. During the 1920s there were three consecutive Republican Presidencies: Warren Harding (1920-1923), Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929) and Herbert Hoover (1929-1933). Nothing like the stock market crash and The Great Depression to warm the cockal of the heart.
It’s the Peter Principle, which theorizes that a person will be promoted to the highest level of his/or her competence and eventually advance to a level of incompetence. The modern Republican Party implodes every other generation under its own ineptitude and rises like the Phoenix, only to repeat the same mistakes.
