Reply #52: Like Pavlov's Dogs: Dems cower and submit - or sell out [View All]

[radhika]

Every time the Repugs put in an odious, in-your-face show-of-dominance clause they are really taking the measure of the Opposition. Like kids in a school yard, dealing with bullying. First you start calling the kid a baby, a momma's boy. Then you steal the lunch money, then a punch to the gut --- then? It can go anywhere, can't it?

These collected names provide no value to security. There are Arrogance Acts that demonstrate the complete and total submissiveness of elected Democrats to Republican overlords. Worse, it clearly signals to firefighters and other public servants that they can expect no accomodation or support in DC. In either party. And they can kiss unions goodbye while they're at it.

All of us here in people-land get it: Bullies need to be confronted. Fast, early and strategies must be developed to deal with them. That's OUR job, them that we voted for just ain't up to the job.
