My Buddy used to taunt me that me and my ilk suffered from Bush Derangement Syndrome. We were like the good Doctor who keeps writing screeds in the Reader Weekly who believes that the CIA was behind the planes that flew into the World Trade Towers.
Let me make this clear before I proceed any further. Most Americans don’t suffer from the latest edition of the Derangement Syndrome the one reserved for President Obama. Certainly the 12% who switched from Obama to Romney after the last debate did so because of the debate not because of any syndrome. But some people have it bad and some of them are in Congress.
Since the Day that Congressman Joe Wilson shouted “YOU LIE!” at Obama during an address to Congress its been apparent that the distaste for Obama has been so visceral that mere partisanship doesn’t explain it. Here are the considered words from another Republican, Jon Hubbard, (an Arkansas legislator) in a book he has just published:
“… will it ever become possible for black people in the United States of America to firmly establish themselves as inclusive and contributing members of society within this country?â€
The conviction of such people is rock solid as when another Congressional Republican recently stood up for the Bible by proclaiming:
Georgia Rep. Paul Broun said in videotaped remarks that evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory are “lies straight from the pit of hell.”
Maybe, as my Buddy keeps insisting, I’m just a bigot for expressing such chagrin for the Current Republican Party’s politics. What else could you expect from a blogger like me who evolved from the pit of hell.
