not your father's

“Its not your Father’s Oldsmobile, said the marketing mavens of GM as they tried to re-introduce the new version of a classic automobile, the Oldsmobile. “Its not your fathers Oldsmobile stated the creatives at GM as they pretended the newer version of the classic was really new. And then it was not your fathers Oldsmobile indeed because GM stopped producing a car that offered a new by-line but nothing else. It had a whole lot of hype and hyperbole but less content and complexity to make it better.

“...he was a community activist...said Sarah Palin the ex reality TV star with great indignation regarding the presidents credentials to be president. And you know what that means, she inferred to the half baked brains of her followers. Community is a code word for Communist And “you betcha” activist, well by golly that must mean Socialist, smugly smirked the ex beauty queen. Wonder if she still sees Russia from her back porch or maybe that other Commie-pinko nation China. Wait maybe she sees a Chinese restaurant from her back porch. She is a favorite of the Republican Party, and this Party is sure not like your Father’s Republican Party.

“...bipartisanship is Democrats coming to the Republican point of view...” said the newly crowned Republican Richard Mourdock candidate for the Senate in the state of Indiana. And surrounded by the people who find compromise, consensus  a naughty word and an UnChristian value Mr. anti bipartisanship was nominated to represent his state on the November ballot. In a year that Congress has received its lowest approval rating ever another Republican unwilling to find answers to the nations problems, but create more problems is ready to raid the sanity of Washington. He is a favorite of the Republican Party and this Party is sure not like your Fathers Republican Party.

“Weird--why did BarackObama Sr. fail to list @BarackObama as his son in his 1961 INS application?” Donald Trump asks.. According to the World Net Daily it’s because Obama’s parents entered into “a sham marriage arranged for immigration purposes only: a supposedly married couple who do not live together, a ‘husband’ with multiple girl friends on the side and a baby neither parent seems determined to raise.” The Donald is a talking head for all things Republican. His vision of America as seen on his reality show is about making dogs jump through hoops then firing them at his whim. The peasant works for the king. And with all the PR available The Donald charms the lifeless wanna be’s who call themselves real Americans. He is a favorite of the Republican Party and this Party is not like your Fathers Republican Party.

Former Navy SEAL Ben Smith with Tea Party ties launches Swift Boat-style attack on Obama for taking credit for Osama Bin Laden death. He stats that the President didn’t kill Bin Laden the American people did. I don’t remember being in Pakistan when Bin Laden was killed. I don’t remember being asked my opinion of the plot to kill Bin Laden. I don’t remember even knowing where the hell Bin Laden was hiding. I do remember however the Republican president at the the time George W. saying Bin Laden was enemy number one and he was going to kill the man. And then I remember the same George W. stating with that arrogant and ignorant voice and tone that well shucks folks he, George W. has bette things to do then hunt down that man. The Democrat president weighed the pro’s and cons of killing Bin Laden, felt compelled to right a a dramatic wrong, and DID give the orders to kill Bin Laden. He and the brave men and women of the Seals killed Bin Laden. But Ben Smith is a Republican and has amnesia when it comes to the lack of backbone or motivation from George W. He has all his faculties however in wanting to rewrite a Democrats history. He is a favorite of the Republican Party, and this Party is not like your Fathers Republican Party.

“...maintaining Obama as one  term president is job one...” said minority Senate Leader Mitch McConnell on the day president elect Obama was to be inaugurated. There was little discussion about the economy, unemployment, the deficit banks regulations, but secret meetings to do one thing and one thing only, make Obama a one term president. yeah, yeah McConnell and his self serving comrades talked a lot about about the other business of the nation but felt so inclined to NOT pass any laws that might actually help the American citizen if in fact it hindered any Republican from being re-elected and of course from the president from ever being elected again. McConnell is a favorite of the Republican Party, but this Party is not like your Fathers Republican Party.

It was not the label Oldsmobile that changed, just the stuff it was made of and made from. The car once had a great reputation, why else would you Father have purchased it. It is not the label Republican that is bad, it is the people who now say they represent this party. This nation needs a point counter point, but not that is how democracy thrives. But this batch of hooligans claiming to be Republicans are anything but American. We need to redirect a party once willing to compromise, find common ground, that stuck to their principles because those principles were based on just and fair, not bigotry and bias. Nope it is not your Father’s Republican Party anymore it is more like a Nightmare on Elm Street.
