MEMO TO THE "GOP", NO, THE SOUTH AIN'T GONNA RISE AGAIN!

Dragging their feet on (1) setting up insurance exchanges in their respective states even though such required funding is 95% guaranteed and supplied by the federal government and (2) snuffing out voter participation with artificial constraints designed only to stifle voting and (3) lastly rendering a women’s right to an abortion as nothing more than a mere abstract exercise will all, in combination, propel the 21st century GOP into utter oblivion in the face of the overwhelming changing demographics that are heavily weighted in favor of Democratic Party affiliation.

The impetus for the Tea-Party phenomenon is for the most part fueled by the still-lingering embers of the Southern Confederacy and the bible-strewn small towns littering this section of our nation that still insist on casting out those demons of the modern nation-state that dares to empower individuals with the full trappings of individual rights and choices.

The South had its share of snake-oil charlatans in the 19th Century and it continues today with the Tea Party Express.  The Koch Brothers are the new southern-based snake oil salesmen par excellence, single-handedly fueling the Tea Bagger Movement but they are fighting a losing battle with history, demographics and the human capacity to transform our species into higher levels of existence.

The folks beating the drum for a return to the “Dukes of Hazard” will shortly run into the biggest dose of whoop-ass this country has ever seen, starting now and lasting through 2014.  Starting with formerly mild-mannered Senate Leader Harry Reid and on down to GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Democratic opponent in Kentucky in November 2014 [Alison Lundergan Grimes] along with the current Democratic candidate for governor in Virginia (Terry McAuliffe), the Democrats are according themselves as the kicking donkeys that is the very trademark of the party.
