Now here is a political cartoon that represents the whole thing. The central political issue of our time, and perhaps all time for that matter. Economy, health care, standard of living and what have you. The same story.
And as you contemplate that, the Republican House of Representatives are about to vote to cut $40 billion dollars from the mouths of hungry children. LITERALLY. And they will get away with it. It is who they are, not the Tea Party or the new hybrid of Evangelical Christian Libertarianism, but the Old GOP doing what it does.
And half of us vote for them no matter. Why? One of the big reasons is represented by the recent standing ovations Paula Deen enjoyed in Houston over the weekend. Add the guns, religious intolerance and country club bankers to the mix and you got the Grand Old Party.
