Conservative forces inside the Republican Party have made a concerted effort over the last few years to destroy the liberal and moderate wings of the party.  Internet searches and emails to these liberal groups turned up defunct web pages and returned email.  Only some pro-choice, gay rights and environmental Republican groups remain.

My wife Jeri and I were recently driving through Stony Brook on Long Island when we noticed a group of tea baggers on the side of the road waving brand new American flags and also waving and wearing the yellow, Don’t Tread on Me flag.  You could tell these people did not have the means to afford all this paraphernalia, that they were being funded by some ominous and unknown group of money people.

The latest scandal to envelop the Bloomberg Administration brings back memories of David Paterson’s tenure as governor where he too tried to cover up a domestic violence charge against a high level official.  Only there is more to the story about New York City Deputy Mayor Goldsmith than meets the eye.  It isn’t just that he was arrested for domestic violence in Washington but that he has abused the city’s workers as well.

Texas Governor Rick Perry spastically gesticulates with his hair perfectly feathered like the fur on Davy Crockett’s raccoon skin cap pointing his finger wildly at every major Washington figure from President Obama to the head of the Fed accusing all of treason as if he is the last man standing at the Alamo when it is in fact Perry that is in need of heightened scrutiny for treason because of his crazy eyed rants threatening to take Texas out of the United States of America.

The tea baggers are as self absorbed as the compulsive masturbator in the film Boogie Nights.  In their ego’s search for importance first they attempt to grab the mantle of the founding fathers a group that was the very kernel of Liberal Western Thought having hardly much in common with your typical tea bagger.

So now Governor Rick Perry of Texas wants to run for president of the United States of America.  It seems like only yesterday that this modern day Sam Houston wanted Texas to leave the United States and become its own nation and he even had done some research on this and found that it could be done legally.

My friend Regina reports in response to my Who Killed the Waltons blog that a Mrs. Godsey on that show was most likely a tea bagger.    This is a shocking revelation that pushes tea bagging back to the show’s origins in the 1970s and perhaps even further back to the time in which the show took place, the 1930s.

My wife and I were in Paris one year when France won the rugby world cup and we marched up the Champs Elysees towards the Arche de Triomphe with thousands of Parisians shouting out “Viva la France” to groups of celebrants carrying their flag.

Yes it was the same old same old among the GOP presidential hopefuls marching through the fields of Iowa.  You know the drill, gay bashing to appeal to religious kooks, tipping the hat to wealthy fat cats by equating corporations with people something that will make Justice Scalia a curiosity to future historians and so forth and so on leading one to wonder with this drought of ideas why does Iowa have such a big say in the future of America.

As a former Republican I have observed that the GOP has been in a train wreck and many of its members are in a state of trauma unable to effect action.  Oh the party has not lost power but instead undergone a seismic shift in demographics.
