Although Republicans will never admit openly that
the deal they made with the Koch devils to create and install extremist
teabaggers in positions of power in Congress was a disaster, the
five-year inter-cabal civil war reveals their obvious distress. Now,
Luntaic fringe ultra-wingnut extremists in the House are conspired to unseat
Boehner for not embracing Cruz and the House Freedom
Caucus’ crusade to shut down the government; this time over, among other
things, religious opposition to women’s reproductive healthcare
providers. The latest threat is that if Boehner dares move ahead with
funding the government with Planned Parenthood funding in place, after
the extremists shut down the government they will shut down Boehner’s
tenure as house speaker. One way or another, the extremists want to
close the government and if the Republican leadership is not with them,
they are the enemy.
Many Republican voters are convinced that shutting
down the government is a winning tactic based on their near-sweep in the
2014 midterms and their belief is hard to dispute. After all, Cruz
told them to shut down the government for 16 days costing the government
tens-of-billions of dollars, killed thousands of jobs and they still
increased their numbers in the House and won control of the Senate
despite “creating havoc with the budget over the course of several
years.” Republicans typically hate everything about the federal
government, and as in the mind of un-American immigrant Cruz, if Republicans cannot eliminate it permanently, they can at least
shut it down just to show their supporters they mean business.
Although the primary driver of the current shutdown
threat is Republicans’ belief that Congress exists to pass legislation
founded on a bastardized form of christianity, there is more than just
Planned Parenthood funding at play for extremist Republicans. There is,
of course, women’s reproductive health, the debt ceiling, the Iran
nuclear deal, raising military spending, and slashing most domestic
spending to death; all valid extremists’ reasons to shut down the
government if “wingnut Marxists” fail to get what they demand.
The Republican who labeled shut-down agitators
“wingnut Marxists” was Boehner’s ally
Representative Devin Nunes. Nunes lashed out at “Republican insurgents”
in the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) for “undermining Boehner’s authority
and stirring up this trouble.” Nunes said, “The wingnut Marxists
have teamed up with Pelosi. They’re the ones who always team up with
Pelosi. They are the Pelosi Republicans. The Freedom Caucus is an arm of
Pelosi.”
Obviously the HFC, although they are like all
Republicans wingnut Marxists, have not “teamed up with” House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, their antics do provide House Democrats
with a measure of power a minority party seldom enjoys. Nunes has had
sharp words for the Cruz-inspired Marxists in the past when he called
them “lemmings with suicide vests” in 2013 for the “Obamacare shutdown
fight” Democrats were instrumental in ending to save Boehner. Perhaps
Nunes’ goal was insulting the HFC by linking them to the Democratic
leader, but he obviously does not comprehend the resolve of the “right
wing Marxists” to shut down the government to show their theocratic
leader Cruz and extremist base that their raison d’être is eliminating the federal government.
The House Freedom Caucus has been eyeing this shutdown for some months because “
none
of the House committees have done their jobs, there is no budget
proposal to send to the Senate, and the deadline for the current budget
appropriations is rapidly approaching.” There are not even plans in
the works for Congress to pass a continuing resolution to run the
government because a shutdown was always the goal of the wingnut
Marxists. And
according to a “
longtime congressional observer” Stan Collender, the odds are at 75% that the Marxists will succeed because the “
ongoing dysfunction is most likely an insurmountable challenge for Boehner and McConnell.” Translation: Boehner and McConnell do not lead their respective caucuses, Ted Cruz does.
The man expecting to emerge victorious
from a seemingly certain shut down is the leading wingnut theocrat
and Marxist Cruz. Cruz successfully engineered the last government
shutdown and although some Republicans were put off, the Canadian
immigrant made major points with the theocratic anti-government
Republican base; the base Cruz needs for his Republican pretender
nomination bid.
As noted earlier, a potential government shutdown is
part of “religious Republicans, fiscal scolds, and military hawks”
strategy to force their extremist agenda on Americans. However, no-one
will benefit more than Cruz. Cruz is once again screaming loudest
that Republicans have to shut down the federal government to save
America. He is particularly opposed to any domestic spending for any
reason, he and his preacher-daddy demand an end to women’s reproductive
healthcare, and he wants the United Nations nuclear deal with Iran
scuttled and replaced with immediate plans for another Middle East war
on Israel’s behalf.
As the wingnut Marxists’ lead extremist, Cruz
laid out his set of demands to keep the federal government operational.
Cruz said, “Congress should pass a continuing resolution that funds
the government, but that provides two conditions. Number one, it does
not give taxpayer funds to a private organization — Planned Parenthood —
that is under multiple criminal investigations. Number two, it uses the
power of the purse to force this administration to hand over the
Iranian side deals.”
First, evangelical Republicans in states around the country have “
called for” investigations and hearings on Planned Parenthood, and some inquiries were “
announced” in Arizona, Indiana, Florida, Kansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Ohio, and Texas; but the medical providers have been cleared of
any wrongdoing. As an aside, the dirty outfit that created the video evidence
is under
a Justice Department investigation. Second, the United Nations Security
Council members, including President Obama, have no side deals with
Iran to give to anyone, much less an un-American Canadian immigrant like
Cruz. Still, it has not stopped Cruz from
claiming that “
the world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism, President Barack Obama, ‘did too’ make a secret deal with Iran.”
This drive to shut down the government is, as one observer noted, “a crucial part of Cruz’s presidential campaign strategy”
to make him heroic for pushing “squishy” Republicans to “confront the
President” over issues important to religious anti-American immigrants
like Cruz. When the possible shut down fails, Cruz will blame “Washington Republican insiders” for being weak and set himself up as the only “true wingnut” willing to go to war against President Obama.
Cruz, desperate to bolster his “anti-government and anti-Washington” bona fides with anti-government extremists lashed out at the Republican leadership on Tuesday claiming that “The
position of Republican leadership boils down to this: They will support
100 percent of the priorities of Democrats. Today, the leader in the
Senate is Harry Reid because Republican leadership has said nothing will
pass without Harry Reid’s support. Today, the leader in the House is
Nancy Pelosi.” It is interesting that the opposing sides in the
Republican civil war both accused the other of allowing Democrats to run
Congress, and it is just another signal that the Republican cabal is truly off the
rails; or as Devin Nunes said, “a bunch of right wing Marxists.”
Republicans are wingnut extremists, all of them,
and the current dysfunction the cabal is experiencing is its own fault
for embracing radical religious and anti-government maniacs. For many on
the left it is entertaining to watch the Republican civil war raging in
Congress, but like all wars there are always noncombatant casualties,
and collateral damage. Sadly, the only casualties are the American
people suffering yet another worthless Congress and tragically for this
country, none of the casualties are religious and anti-government
Republicans. However, that is something voters can reverse in 14 months.
