Today's MOZEN: Drop the GOP

F LoBuono

Despite what my many detractors may claim, I make a real effort to be balanced, non-judgmental, and not overly mean-spirited with my writing. I really do. But, of course, I often fail. However, there are also times when the kid gloves need to come off. Soft peddling something that begs to be SCREAMED with authority is small minded and reeks of Political Correctness .

This is one of those times to SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a well known fact that I am liberal leaning in my politics and my life (that just raised a few eyebrows!). And, I try to respect those of a more conservative bent. There will always be room for respectful differences in opinion. Well, ALMOST always - because now I'm quite simply PISSED!

Every son-of-a-bitch Republican Senator just voted down the most meaningful, most significant gun control legislation this Nation has seen in years. In light of the most recent massacre in Orlando, it was hoped that at least sensible control could be exerted over who buys a weapon and what type it may be. It seems that people considered too dangerous too fly (the terrorist "watch/no fly list") can still find it easy to buy a gun - and, not just any gun - even lethal ones like the AR15, which seems to be the weapon of choice among mass murderers.

This is more than absurd. It's downright DANGEROUS!! Yet, Republicans insist that they are "protecting" the rights of ordinary Americans while we gun down our neighbors!!! They continually hide behind the controversial 2nd Amendment, using it as a bludgeon against anyone who might propose common sense regulation over the most powerful firearms the GREAT MAJORITY of people consider unnecessary, even for self protection. It is painfully obvious that EVERY STINKIN' ONE OF THEM is bought and paid for by the most powerful organization in this Country - the NRA.

And, their buffoonery is not limited to Gun Control. If you look at EVERY single piece of shitty legislation recently enacted in this Country, from the nonsensical "Bathroom Laws" to the continued use of the Confederate Flag over State institutions, it has been sponsored by a GOP controlled government. They constantly speak out of both sides of their mouths. First, they say they want less government, so they refuse to pass legislation that they say infringes on our right to bear arms. Then, the next day, they want to get into your shit by taking away a woman's right to choose. Well, which one is it??

I'm sorry, but I cannot, for the life of me, see how anyone could support the GOP, especially after this latest sorry episode. Unless, of course, you are a pasty-faced old, white man which is the majority base for this party. It's time for them to dry up and blow away. And, you can help them along the way by voting every single one of the sons-of-bitches out of office.
