Political Cleansing

We all understand the evil that is ethnic cleansing. It involves oppression and death. It's excesses are inhumane and beneath contempt. Therefore, when I present this post, which I have titled Political Cleansing, I want to make it clear that although this offense is not lethal, it is similarly venal and unfair.

Since the election, Congress has been mostly concerned with decimating the Republican Party. Although the nation is at war, illegal aliens are flooding over the border, children are doing without health care, and crime is running rampant, all that Congress is trying to do is destroy careers through character assassination. Every Republican is a target, and even their personal lives are being scrutinized. Digging up dirt seems to be the Democrats' first priority.

Meanwhile, "prominent" Democrats such as Harry "Lost" Reid, Nancy "Big Planes" Pelosi, Teddy "You, swim, girl" Kennedy, John "I served in Vietnam" Kerry, Jack "Surrender" Murtha, Bill "The Adulterer" Clinton (I could go on forever) can do or say any unconscionable thing they want and Congress ignores it; but let one Republican surrepticiously pick his nose, and they're all over him.

When the Democrat Congress told us things would be different, we foolishly assumed it would be for the better. Instead, we got vindictiveness and a disregard for the needs of the people. And we've always been told that liberals were loving and caring. . . .

Extra: It's official. . . the New York City Council is crazy. Following a series of outrageous decisions, they have now banned metal baseball bats in high schools. As a baseball purist, I have never liked metal bats, but because they are no more dangerous, less expensive, and more durable than wooden bats. I have come to accept them because their use allows more young people to participate in the sport. This ban will reduce or eliminate some programs.
