They simply HAVE TO criticize. They're stuck in a rut. They HAVE TO find fault. Because. Because Benghazi or some other lame excuse. They really, seriously, truly DO "got nuthin'". That's all they have and all they know. They aren't in the White House so they don't get to set policy and do the leading, they don't get to be direct, active participants. OUR team gets to be the direct, active participants. They're stuck on the sidelines and all they can do is whine and complain - from the SIDELINES. That's all they've got. Piss-ants and Sore Losermen - ALL. It's knee-jerk stuff. It's not their ball. So all they can do is sit with the other spectators, OFF the field, and complain and snipe-snipe-snipe. It's all they've got.
They don't HAVE anything. They've seriously "got nuthin'" because it's their basic belief. They don't like government. They don't like big government. They don't even like so-called SMALL government, which they yap about in every speech and grandstanding moment, and then when they whittle it down, they STILL yap about how their newly whittled-down "small government" still isn't quite small enough.
I put it down to arrested development. What I think we see here is the acting out of many adult-size spoiled brats who grew up being told that they don't have to listen to anybody and they don't have to follow anybody and they don't have to be led by anybody, and they don't have to take guidance or follow rules from anybody else. The rules don't apply to them anyway. They're the little bitty infant tantrum throwers stomping their fat pudgy little baby feet and yowling "NO ONE IS THE BOSS OF MEEEE!!!!!!!!" I've seen so many of them insist "NOBODY tells ME what to do." Look at cliven bundy and company, for example (and that's just ONE example). They don't want rules. They don't want regulations. They don't want restrictions - even the wise and reasonable and well-vetted ones. They don't think they should HAVE TO. They don't want to be told what to do - by ANYBODY. Even the law.
I think they're really just anarchists. Our Founders worked and warred and struggled awfully hard for many years, and risked everything, to construct a government that would address their realistic needs. These latter-day assholes who dare to wear those three-cornered hats and call themselves old-fashioned "patriots" and "originalists" and whatever fancy title they just made up to make it sound all credible and important and official-like - to harken back to THOSE times. When the Founders wrote the documents and what their original intent was and blah-blah-blah. But they take all that colonial and revolutionary effort and SHIT on it. They sure want to tear all that down - the work of what they CLAIM they revere.
That's why they don't have ANYTHING to offer after they've taken your newly-affordable health care program away.
That's why they don't have ANYTHING to offer after they've taken your Social Security away.
That's why they don't have ANYTHING to offer after they've taken your Medicare away.
That's why they don't have ANYTHING to offer after they've taken the safety regulations and worker protections away.
That's why they don't have ANYTHING to offer after they've taken the voting rights away from the carefully-selected groups they've targeted.
That's why. And on. And on. And on. Because they don't think they should have to! And they don't want to help you or anybody else in need of help. They don't think they should have to. Some of 'em have actually said that's what the churches are supposed to be there to do. They don't want ANY government at all. I wonder how soon they'll decide that we shouldn't have traffic lights because - heaven forbid, that's something else imposed on them from on high, making them do something they just might not feel like doing at any given time - to stop for opposing traffic, because it works for the GREATER GOOD. I don't need to worry about anybody else. It's all about ME ME ME, and my three favorite people: Me, Myself, and I. And nobody's allowed OR authorized to tell ANY of those three people what to do. That's the essence of that "sovereign citizen" crap we hear about every now and then, these days.
THEY SUCK. What they want, and envision, and fantasize about, is unrealistic, impractical, unworkable, anti-social, mean-spirited, selfish, thoughtless, reckless, ill-informed, ill-advised, immature, greedy, entirely UN-CHRISTIAN, and just plain WRONG.
They don't want government? Okay. Well, then, that renders them, BY DEFINITION, unfit to govern. Because they get into power and all they want to do is tear it all down. ANARCHY is what they really want. And not one of them is ready or willing to admit it. Sometimes I feel as though they don't really even KNOW what they want. But that IS what they want - total ANARCHY. Because there just shouldn't be ANYBODY or ANY entity out there that gets to tell them what to do.
And they sure as hell won't accept any such directives from a black guy.
