As August dawns, I wake up to Michele Bachmann standing for crippling government that has supported her and Marcus with liberal aid. Such hypocrisy (sorry inconsistency) is standard on the right. The Tea Party is the GOP depending on what day it is. We have no idea even now what idiocy may be launched in the coming hours. Michele wants us to do nothing. Let the global panic develop. She creates extemporaneous lies to suggest this is not a real crisis. Much has already been done. It was done when we let Michele and her ilk take over the narrative, turning a simple legislative act into an Armageddon moment. We should never have allowed this to develop but hindsight is 20/20. Now we need to flag the Tea Party for what it is. We must wrest the narrative back. The narrative is how we can move the country in the direction of greater tolerance, greater helpfulness, greater democracy and end our idolatry of everything and everyone save the One Jesus called Abba. (I am listening to a Maureen Down column being read on Morning Joe. It echoes this text, minus the articulation of saving values.)
