Burning Loyalty: House on Fire

The President is the President of all the People. Rush Limbaugh is the defacto leader of the Republican Party. He demands absolute loyalty worship. When he told his minions to set the house on fire, they did. When he told them to trip the firemen on their way in to save it, they did.

Escalating deregulation, which began in earnest in Reaganomics, whereby businesses were less and less bound by rules or ethics, or even morals, is what brought us to where we are today. Businesses were allowed to merge, crush competition, and monopolize industries without the bothersome constraints of 'regulations'. Unconscionable incompetence and greed thrived, flourished and collapsed of it's own weight. Affluence turned to effluent in what was the predictable outcome of removing all the laws that would have prevented the disaster we are in today.

The fat man has been a big fan of deregulation. He touted it as if it were the Holy Grail of GOP and GOD. Dutifully, his minions, who acknowledge they could not rise to the level of elections without his guidance, pushed for and got, more and more deregulation. They set the house on fire.

When the fire first started, he scoffed at those who said they smelled smoke and wanted to investigate. They were 'alarmists' using 'scare tactics' and his minions lined up to refute the obvious, and the public was not alerted. Those who tried to sound the alarms were ridiculed.

Now, with the economy going up in smoke, he demands his minions again, line up to trip the firemen as they try to get in and salvage what is left of our economy. Their goal: To make sure that by the time any help gets through, there is nothing left to save. That way, they can blame the President and have a better shot at the next elections. They want to say that Obama let the economy burn down.

The fat man has never had so much power as he does at this moment. He has elected officials doing his bidding, despite his lack of education in the field of economics. They do his bidding because they fear him and his influence over the reactionary masses that elected them.

We, as a nation, have the most intelligent, insightful and gifted president, perhaps of all time. If we are to save ourselves, it must be with everyone pulling towards the same goal. The fat man cares nothing for the nation he seeks only to tear apart, as sport, for the sake of a party that has gone down the wrong road to the point of increasing losses. Fat man feels that if he can sabotage our country enough with his hypocrisy and lies, those who pay his $25Million a year check, will be well pleased.

Obama trying to save the Nation, Limbaugh trying to sabotage the entire country, to boost up a failing party with bad ideas, that are responsible for most of this mess.

Loyalty oaths were taken by these elected officials. Allegiance, to protect and defend the Constitution. However, it appears that a greater, burning loyalty oath was sworn --- to the fat man.

So, in this time of crisis, who ya gonna call? The firemen? Or the fat man?
