The Tea Pouty's Can't-Ho

I do not like U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA). He is at the centre of what is wrong with Congress; what is awry in the thinking of GOPer's aligned with the Tea Party who want to shave the American Constitution into little bits of parchment to fit their own view of who can be a verbal anarchist/arsehole and who cannot. (Perhaps that is why his last name so aptly defines his egregious personality - he just CAN'T find one wisp of moderation anywhere in his radical political views.)

Therefore, this recalcitrant rigid obstructionist is now using the primarily peaceful gatherings of disenfranchised Americans involved in OCCUPY WALL STREET to create manufactured negative hysteria by using the word "mob" to scare people into believing the Left has gone wild.

To present Cantor's continuing hypocrisy, read the following: The Mind Reels

Isn't Cantor's hypocrisy sad as well as infuriating to those with an honest sense of fairness? The GOP can have the Tea Party and people showing up at rallies with guns and threatening (oft-misspelled) signs of hate against the president, but anyone who dares to develop what is now a ground-swell of supporters simply saying that the 1% of our country's wealthy should pay a higher tax than the remaining 99% are "mobs"?

When the word "mob" is bandied about, it usually conjures visions of rowdy masses throwing rocks into store windows, beating on each other, looting and rioting in a very uncivilized manner. The inner vision we all share of that word is not conducive to peaceful gatherings, which is precisely what OCCUPY WALL STREET has been in the overview all over the country where the protests are in motion.

Fascinating how people like Eric Cantor love to create trouble: to fan flames that aren't there to win political points and maintain their insidious agenda of ousting a president they do not like through ignoring the overall will of the people who roundly support a tax on the 1% rich to save our sinking economy. It is, as I continue to write, a form of treason in my book of what is "right" and "wrong" with government to make the country pay for the stubborn, at-the-core devious ploys to turn back time to when social programs did not exist and many minorities had no power.

The twisting of words; the deliberate hot-trigger talking points to create a dust-up wherever possible between the GOP and the Democrats, is why I so loathe many in the current GOP more that at any other time over the years of political polarizations. This latest GOP group holds the copyright on how to play dirty politics despite the times Democrats pull out a few of their own ridiculous games. Dem's just don't do it as well.

One prime reason why OCCUPY WALL STREET is beginning to thrive is that someone has to speak for those who have been kicked around by the Ivory-Towered money men and women when more than half of Congress in both parties are beholden to Wall Street to maintain their political careers on the campaign trails. That is why there is now, and will be growing just as strong, a determined effort by the Cantor's of the world to stifle the free speech of those who are and have been suffering, struggling, through the mortgage, unemployment fiasco of recent years.

The best voices in this ugly economic mess are from those who have been victims of the issues at hand...just as the Tea Party is comprised of people who have a different view of where the U.S. should be heading and have been using their voices for well over a year to get what they want and damn the little people in the process. But, dare anyone criticize them and it's considered anti-American. When "they" see a challenge from the other side, it has to be something to immediately twist into fear so that the hold on their base remains narrow-mindedly strong.

After all, there's nothing like fear to keep the cattle in line by creating scary verbal images of cattle prods on the loose in the Tea Party's pasture, which is exactly what Mr. Cantor and friends are doing.

Get ready, cuz' when the beady eyes and minds of people such as Eric Cantor get moving on word-play, the potential for sabotage is strong and not at all beneath the politicians and their backers from creating chaos where none had been.

Remember, we are not dealing with mature individuals with a view to what is actually better for America. It is what is better for one specific political party and how to benefit their benefactors who have the most to gain because they are the 1% who we are told will simply shrivel and die if they have to write a check to the US Government to help the country that brought them success remain safe in which to live.

I could go on. The Flog Whip is feeling feisty today. However, a rant is a rant is a rant, and personally I've have enough of focusing on the little ant by the name of Can't-or for one afternoon.
