COWARDICE It’s Time To Start Over
COWARDICE
What other word can there be for virtually every Republican in Congress today. They are afraid of a group of members who between them don’t have a single redeeming quality and more importantly don’t have an ounce of loyalty to this Country and actually have a disdain for the Country and the American people. Any members of Congress, and especially the king of cowards “Speaker” Kevin McCarthy, who are afraid of Matt Getz or Marjorie Green should be driven from congress. The explanation I presume will be that they represent Donald Trump and his MAGA cult and they will destroy any member who has the courage to call them out for what they truly are. What they truly are is overly feared mindless people whose only source of power is the cowardice of those around them. The anniversary of 911 reminds of us that true cowards can only temporarily succeed and that success comes crashing down when those with courage, in this case the American people, look the cowards in the eye and say we are not afraid and this will not stand, no matter what the cost. The Government shutdown is the Republican’s 911. They failed to look the cowards in the eye and say we are not afraid, and this will not stand, no matter what the cost. It would be nice to believe Republicans will find courage but it is clear they will not. They will continue to cower in the corner and give up their ability to present ideas and policies and actually legislate to improve this country and help it succeed. As a life long Republican I have tried to hold on to the belief that the Party could heal itself from within, but it has become undeniable that the Republican Party has been denigrated beyond recognition, and it will require the almost complete decimation of the Party at the ballot box for there to be any possibility that the Republican Party that I believe I belong to, can ever reemerge from the carnage that Donald Trump and his minions and cowardly accomplices have wrought.
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
