| For the new wave of American progress. |
| Acrobat By Nicholas Ruiz III Never underestimate the fidelity with which madness may be carried out. When liberal radio personalities who attend town hall meetings, like Nicole Sandler who attended Republican Allen West’s (FL-20) event, are detained, imprisoned and maced without cause or provocation - we might say that “nothing makes sense; nothing seems to fit.” Yes, the tea barkers rolled through town this week. The tea distribution began with Republican Daniel Webster’s (FL-8) Orlando stop, a far cry from the glory days when Alan Grayson represented the district with the lucidity of a lighthouse. Webster, armed with poster boards of an overflowing water faucet and a big scary red graph, pitched the mantra of divestment in America and tax cuts for everyone. Few were impressed, or convinced. Republican Allen West’s (FL-20) militant tea debacle ended the way all militant debacles end: with incarceration of the innocent. Armed with a militant ego, and already knowing everything – all opportunities for dialogue were scripted right out of the final mix in Boca Raton. West taunted that those not in favor of his theater should “run someone against him.” It seems that West would believe that without him, FL-20 is nothing. Next, Sandy Adams (FL-24) fresh off a congressional tea bender in DC, dropped some brew off in New Smyrna Beach, once again alarming no one but her most intimate tea keepers, with colorfully frightening graphs and political posturing: “What drives the debt?” she asked slyly. A progressive Democrat responded in kind – “Three wars!” Indeed – we can thank the Daytona News Journal for reporting that scene and bringing some light for a change. Lastly, we encounter Republican Marco Rubio (R-FL). At an RSVP- only event in Daytona Beach, the auditorium was tea-packed and padded to the rafters. Hence multiple standing ovations, Brazilian- style cheer and assorted folly. It’s amusing that Rubio attempted to pivot his political future as opposed to America’s future. His political future is explicitly contingent upon his willingness to sell the Koch brothers’ agenda: under-taxation and under-regulation. Rubio was the No. 1 recipient of Koch money in the 2010 Senate races. Any wonder why he conspires to starve the federal government of important revenue, or diminish the U.S. Social Safety Net and environmental regulations, all while maintaining or even increasing corporate welfare and military spending? Essentially, representatives like these are employed to bring America to its knees before the Corporation. We must be acrobats. So don’t worry, and don’t let’em grind you down. As that song says, our time is coming around. In the mean time: Please contribute now to help NRIII unseat Republican Sandy Adams in 2012 - and work toward keeping a truly Democratic tradition alive in America: and please endorse, and invite friends to endorse his campaign here: Endorse Nick! Many thanks for your support! |
