The enemy within Congress

To paraphrase Pogo (not Poco): We have met the enemy and they is Congress.

Last month, several fascist members of Congress - Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), Sen. "Diaper Dave" Vitter (R-Louisiana), and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) - hosted a gathering in Washington of self-styled "constitutional sheriffs." The "constitutional sheriff" movement is a small gang of far-right lawmen who enjoy picking fights with the Obama administration. None of their ideas are actually drawn from the Constitution. Currently they're engaged in an effort to gather supporters to move into a county in Arizona and overthrow its government.

During this meeting, supporters of this movement gathered outside the White House and demanded Obama's lynching. One man declared, "Hang the lying Kenyan traitor terrorist piece of shit!" Another threatened to run the President through a wood chipper. Then they went to the meeting and shook hands with the congresscritters.

But they call me the crazy one because I voted for Steve Beshear?

What has to happen to get more people to realize just how stupidly dangerous and uncivilized the Far Right and much of Congress is? No false equivalence. Both sides are not equally guilty. Our side isn't out there demanding the death of a legitimately elected President.

I've known forever that the Evil Empire has something wrong with them, and this is more proof. You can't talk sense into people who have something as seriously wrong with them as this. Now they're in Congress.

So let's live in denial and ignore it some more.
