A Rebel Without a Clue

 

By Sarge (Bio and Archives) Thursday, February 13, 2014

After watching John Boehner fold (again), and after enduring his prepared, watered-down excuses for failing to challenge the status quo of Democrat dominated proceedings in the House, I must say I wasn’t surprised.

 

Boehner’s voice is less than thunderous. The sound is belied by a foul odor’s presence. It’s another fart he’s uttered more than a lightning strike. His whiny delivery explaining why there weren’t enough votes to do anything but offer up a “clean bill” concerning the debt ceiling was typical of his white-feathered past.

 

A white feather is a traditional symbol of cowardice, used and recognized especially within the British Army since the 18th century. Somebody asked if Republican brinksmanship should be considered over-and-done-with? This was asked because of a supposed tactic where (after winning sufficient controlling seats in the Senate and hopefully gaining more seats in the House) Republicans could rise to lead us from this mess Obama and his disastrous healthcare debacle has led us to. Good luck with that.

 

The concept of “brinksmanship” must be understood. Brinksmanship is when you pursue a dangerous policy to the limits of safety before stopping, typically in politics. In more readily recognizable words: are the Republicans better at “playing chicken”? “Chicken” is a game best remembered when James Dean (in his iconic film – REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE) and another dolt drove their cars at break-neck speed toward a California cliff to see who’d be the last to jump out before falling to the bottom of the cliff. It was supposed to be symbolic of courage but is nothing more than a testosterone challenge better left unanswered Scissors-32x32.pnghttp://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/61155
