A COMEDY OF TERRORS

Before the recent midterm election the airways were regurgitating the tired meme that President Obama had mishandled or underestimated the dire consequences of ISIS/ISIL and EBOLA. While I agree that the public face of those crises was not presented well, the actual processes of containment are precise and effective in the case of ISIS/ISIL and in the case of the Ebola crisis the main problem is fear itself.

Now only four days after the election and the right-wing fearmongers have moved on. They have decided to monger fear about the terrible scourge of immigration. Using the euphemism of "waving a red flag in front of a bull" they are warning the President not to take executive action on immigration because they want to come up with a plan in congress. "Let congressional action take its course" they say. 

Well hear me out ----- THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR 6 1/2 YEARS !

Now Boehner, Barrasso, McConnell and Cornyn INC. are hitting the airways lamenting that the President "just doesn't get it."

The President DOES get it. The proposal to fix the status of the "dreamers" was a part of his campaign in 2008 and has been a priority of his administration ever since.

Now comes the rejuvenated right-wing delusionists claiming an election mandate against OBAMA'S policies when the reality is that Republicans got only 15.5% of the registered voters to agree with them.

Of course the apathy of the electorate was appalling, but so too was the success of the Republican 

redistricting circus and the vile voter suppression across the nation.

This entire governing by revenge thing makes me tired ---
