All the hand wringing about Dems being ordered to capitulate to right wing crazies, begs the question. Should we?

Leading up to the election, we were warned what would happen. And why. Strangely enough, in a poll. The American people feel uneasy having a party rule the three branches. For any reason. So, they subconciously weighed giving a part to the opposition. To keep the Dems honest. Should they allow them to rule the sober, more reality-based Senate? Nope. The place for Fema camp blathering, man-mice brained mountains outta molehills is the House of Reps. Was this well thought out? I doubt it. IT is a truism. An unexamined axiom. Of which we have many.

The game of moving the middle up around insane, and demanding the opposition move to the middle, is the bogus direction these cretins have moved in for some time. The groundwork was laid when they argued that Hitler was a leftie. That Obama is a communist. We should be talking to the opposition in very stark terms. calling their idiocy just that. Obama's attempts to mainstream the Repubs, when they spew hate or rubbish, to encourage humanlike response, is the WRONG direction.

We should NOT apologize for calling the ignorant such. Their inclusion in averaging opinion, is foolhardy.

Make fools own their idiocy. Grant them their druthers, in philosophy, and stomp them. Make them flesh out their monsters. Brush the Reagan bromides aside, and demand the rubber to hit the road.

Making nice, gives our opposition legitimacy. Engage, respond, deliver. That is the tactic that will prevail.

Yes, it is taxing, but the alternative makes us apathetic, and our opposition apoplectic. Fit them with rhetorical sandwich boards, and soon enough, the Repub party will go the way of the dodo. As we so impatiently predict.

This tactic also will drive a wedge between the Repubs and Teabaggers. Make the Repubs answer for their pets. Rub their noses in the Teadroppings. Make them use their bare hands, if they are so rude as to have jettisonned all their bags. Or ordered the wrong ones.

We can do this. We are hardened. We need only gather their doodoo on youtube. Extinguishment will do the rest.

Gosh. If only someone had thought of this sooner.

I tend to think of them as bugs that run away from the light.

All of us need to shine the light constantly and in doing so keep these bugs in hiding.
