I’m b-a-a-a-a-a-a-c-k!

I haven’t blogged in a dog’s age for a whole host of reasons, one of which is to protect my blood pressure.

Now, my blood pressure is perfect - the kind the doc smiles about. But I can feel the pressure in my head increasing when I (1) watch the Republican clown show “debates,” (2) read about the Republican candidates’ neverending lies, and (3) generally read/hear/see anything about this entire fiasco.

And you may not need or want read what I really want to say in this atmosphere.

It is hard to write about this clown show without appearing to malign all Republicans, without appearing to believe that all Republicans are mean, hateful, stupid, dishonest, greedy…etc.  No, they aren’t all that way. But you wouldn’t know it, would you, to watch the clown show? The clown show that we must all take seriously because some people really think these clowns are qualified to rule this country. It just boggles the mind.

Watching the clown show is kind of like trying to watch Fox “News” or trying to listen to Rush Limbaugh or Laura Ingraham or Glenn Beck or trying to read Charles Krauthammer or Thomas Sowell - it’s so maddening.

The main problem I have with it all is the endless lies. I can’t watch Fox “News” for 5 minutes without wanting to shout out the truth in response to the endless lies…or listen to Beck/Limbaugh/Ingraham with wanting to shout at the radio in response to their endless lies…or read any of the columnists without jumping to the “comments” section and spouting my own hysteria in response to their shameless lies.

In other words, it’s hard to keep one’s cool in the face of the never-ending onslaught of lies, lies, lies - and that’s all it is…lies, lies, lies that it are difficult for us to challenge effectively after they’re put out in the ethernet.

In addition to the stress that their endless, unashamed, unabashed lies can cause, I am totally enraged at what I know the history books will say about how this country treated President Barack Obama, our first (of many, I hope) African-American President and a man who I know will go down as one of the greatest ever. Barack Obama will trump (ooh…don’t like using that word, even, it’s so yucky now) Ronald Reagan and every other Republican president in the “greatness” category hands-down when history makes its judgment.

And that’s what they can’t stand, folks: That Barack Obama is not just a good President, but a great one, perhaps the greatest one in history (it’s time to say it) - they just can’t stand it.

Read Andrew Sullivan’s article that I posted yesterday - and spread it far and wide.

I’m b-a-a-a-a-c-k. And, rest assured, when you read what I write, I will restrain myself to protect my health - I’ll ask myself, “What would Barack Obama do?” then proceed accordingly with our best role model.
