It’s according to Paul Ryan that when it comes to
American politics today, it’s easy to be “disheartened.” And so it was, in speaking on the state of
American politics and taking questions from Capitol Hill interns on Wednesday
morning, that Ryan said, “It is so easy to get disheartened” about what is
happening in American politics today.
Ryan delivered his remarks from the House Ways and Means Committee room
where he used to serve as the chairman before replacing John ‘Spineless’ Boehner
as House Speaker back in October.
And it was in referencing such things as tax reform,
trade, health care, welfare reform and entitlement reform that Ryan would go on
to say, “It is here in this committee that we debate some of the biggest most
consequential issues.” And he added, “We
took our jobs very seriously here on this committee.” And he recalled, “We disagreed without being
disagreeable.” That must have been with
him and his fellow Republican cowering over in a corner. Then he said, “It sounds like a scene
unfamiliar to many in your generation.”
It was in making his comments to those interns in
the room that Ryan said, “I see myself in each and every one of you.” And he shared with them that he too first
came to Washington, D.C. as a curious college intern. And he went on to say, “Our political
discourse, both the kind that we see on TV and the kind that we experience
among each other, it did not used to be this bad. It does not have to be this
way.” And he stressed, “Instead of
talking about what politics is today, I want to talk to you about what politics
can be.”
“America is the only nation founded on an idea not
on an identity,” he told the interns. “That idea is a beautiful idea, the
condition of your birth does not determine the outcome of your life.” And he went on to tell them, “Instead of
playing to your anxieties, we can appeal to your aspirations,” Ryan said about
politicians to the voters. “We just don’t resort to scaring you…we dare to inspire
you.” Adding, “We don’t just win your
support. We win the argument,” he added, explaining that this is how to have a
“confident America.”
He told them, “We question each other’s ideas
vigorously, but we don’t question each other’s motives.” He went on to say, “We all know someone who
we love that disagrees with us politically or votes differently,” but in a
confident America we don’t shut people down, Ryan stated, referencing the
division in American politics today. “We don’t insult them into agreeing with
us. We try to persuade them,” he added. “We shouldn’t accept ugliness as the
norm.” He said leaders should “talk
about ideas” and “not trade insults.”
But I’d be curious to know when exactly it is that
the Republicans ever question anything.
More often than not all they ever do is to simply roll over and play
dead! So what the Hell was Ryan talking
about? I mean, did he and the
Republicans question anything when it came to the $1.1 Trillion spending
package that essentially paid for everything Barry wanted through the end of
his presidency? I don’t seem to recall
many questions being asked. Ryan was too
busy giving it his rubber stamp of approval!
And now he has the nerve to whine?
So Ryan wants to talk about how ugliness in American
politics has become the norm? I’ve got
news for him, the level of ugliness can be traced right back to those
Republican leaders who have in charge since 2010. Because ugly is funding the enemy Democrats
to the tune of $3.8 TRILLION to enable every single progressive fad that they
are able to conjure up. Ugly is betraying the GOP base to please the New World
Order who continues to fund the political elite on both sides. Ugly is having six months off every year with
a six figure salary and six figure pension to boot!
And ugly is lying to the American people promising
to protect us and instead you signed our sovereignty away while continuing to
kill our economy via TPP. Ugly is allowing a Marxist in the White House to take
down America with a stroke and a pen while our party leaders are too cowardly
to put the nation first and stop him!
Ugly is to blame Trump supporters for defending themselves against the
racist Black Lives Matters crowd and other left wing thug goon squads. Ugly is
giving amnesty and welfare to gang members here in this country illegally.
Ugly is driving the country into bankruptcy while at
the same time ripping off seniors who can no longer work and disabled Vets in
order to make sure you’re able to keep funded massive welfare and food stamps programs
for able bodied people who blow their taxpayer supplied money on drugs, booze
and visits to the nearest tittie-bar.
Ugly is giving lower tariffs to goods that your cronies make in Red
China than to goods coming in from our allies in Germany or other places, thus
making a 3rd world Communist enemy country into an industrial super-power. WTF Paul?
Ugly is letting lawyers and insurance companies rip
our healthcare system, once the best in the world, to shreds in an attempt to
ruin it so that it can then be taken it over at the federal level. Ugly is funding
Planned Parenthood at a time when the GOP had control of both houses of
Congress and could have easily shut off taxpayer money going to it. Ugly is blowing our money trying to make
Islamic countries into first world democracies with welfare spending as a way
of combating Islamic terrorism while, at the same time, bringing millions of Muslims
into this country.
Ugliness, Paul?
This is the real ugliness in American politics! And I guess what you’re saying, Paul, is that
as we find ourselves on the verge of going over the edge if we were all just a
bit more civil everything will get better?
Well, what we, the voters, are no longer willing to accept is the business
as usual that we have continued to see ever since we gave you Republicans
control of Congress. The real reason,
Paul, that Americans are so pissed off is because the Republican Party has essentially
become the equivalent of Chipotle, and they’re making their own customers sick.
