For the new wave of American progress.
GOP Loser Dust

By Nicholas Ruiz III



For the first half of 2011, the Republicans have been boasting about
fantasy mandates and a glorious supermajority, some have even
spoken of divine right.

I see things a little differently.

Indeed, the Republican ‘stupid’ majority, being endured by
Democrats, and even some thoughtful Republicans, and even still,
some Republicrats that are complicit in that ‘majority’ - is almost
total in its media parade and circulation.

But peacock pomp and media hype do not constitute wisdom. Many
cultural or fiscal currencies and imaginary vehicles circulate and
trade, while being of unverifiable value. Just ask the credit default
swap gurus who bankrupted each other, and millions of people. Or
consider the overheated Aussie and Kiwi. Or the dilution of the U.S.
dollar. And of course, commodity price gouging, as a result of
excess money flooding into oil, gold and grain futures. And the
myth of job creation wrought by excess money afforded by ever
lower government tax rates and quantitative easing.

But keep in mind - it is often the unexpected and unforeseen things
that are most meaningful, even essential – from politicians like FDR
to artists like Dali to bands like Nirvana.

Hence, we take it on faith that Lady Justice massages the electoral
scaffolding of 2012, patient and alert. And of course we’ll do our part
to help her along.

In a sense, Baudrillard says it best:

“Even the most extreme, most sublime thing one can conceive of
will be taken over and surpassed by some other form - perhaps
even its opposite or caricature. This is how it is. This is the game.
Matters are never definitively settled.”

So XYZ news hurls talking points of every stripe like a one-eyed
Cyclops hurling boulders across the nation’s ear and brow, hoping
medieval ideologies stick and destroy democratic sensibilities and
reason – like when Paul Ryan (WI-1) lobs his swanky Richelieu
budget at the heart of America with the intent of making peasants of
us all, calling it a ‘path to prosperity’ – a gross caricature of
Benjamin Franklin’s ‘way to wealth.’ And then the skanky Gang of
Six (or Eight, incl. Corker/McCaskill’s offer) counter offers with equal
feudal swagger.

The most sensible American fiscal approach offered to date, the
People’s Budget by the Congressional Progressive Caucus,
endorsed with a bow by Jeffrey Sachs - was voted down like the
plague by the stupid majority. Kicked in the teeth and left behind in
House GOP loser dust. Over one hundred Democrats voted against
it. Why? Obama on the People’s Budget: enjoy the silence.

The GOP stampede drags everything along with it: Democrats,
Presidents, pundits, stock markets, cheerful celebration of an
enemy death…like other stampedes, non-similar flora and fauna get
swept up in the dusty fray.

So on behalf of rank and file Democrats everywhere, voting
Democrats, who want the real thing in 2012, who want to invest in
America, not in unnecessary tax cuts; who want social justice, not
social poverty; who want peace and diplomacy, before war that
must always be a rare and inescapable event; who believe
education extends beyond math, science and automated testing, to
art, humanities and imagination; who believe that a minimum wage
must move forward in terms of dollars, rather than cents; who want
government that errs to side of charity, not to the cold side of
indifference to its struggling people – a message for Sarah, Donald
and the rest of the Republican loser dust entourage:

“We won’t call you and don’t call us.”

For now, yes, you may have our attention,
but don’t get the wrong impression –
we are not in love:
