WASHINGTON FULL OF MEAN-SPIRITED SCOWLERS

Have you ever seen Harry Reid when he wasn’t scowling? Well, what about Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frankfarter or Chris Dodd, or Barbara Boxer or…. ?? Have you noticed that even Barack Obama is now developing a glowering, sulking scowl? When you line their pictures all up together, the crows all leave the cornfield.

Nancy Pelosi comes out and accuses the CIA of lying to and misleading Congress on a regular and consistent basis. Then, in the face of denials from CIA Director Panetta, she stonewalls it. Finally, after weeks of shucking and ducking, stories surface that Dick Cheney and the CIA had worked on a plan to assassinate Al Queda leaders and then shelved it. The allegations are flying that Cheney and the CIA mislead Congress because they never told Congress of their “plans,” even though they never came close to the implementation stage. Pelosi would have us believe that every time somebody in the CIA starts conjecturing, she must be told about it. On that basis, Pelosi is guilty of micromanagement. The CIA has no obligation to inform Congress of any plans unless it intends to implement them. Therefore, Pelosi has simply manufactured a scandal smokescreen to divert attention from her prior statements.

But, wait! Her audacity is boundless! She has the unmitigated gall to suggest that the proposed Health Care Reform Plan is not going to cost the taxpayer one dime, but then announces with glee that Congress is going to raise our taxes anyway. And she scowls at us when we throw up our hands in disgust?

Then, you have the illustrious Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Oversight Committee who was at the helm pushing Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac to get the money out the door to unqualified housing buyers and we who then has the temerity to say that there was not enough regulation of financial activities. Who was in charge there? And he scowls at us when we throw up our hands in disgust?

Chris Dodd, embroiled in controversies and whose wife sits on the boards of several Health Care related organizations and corporations… Chris Dodd, whose ties to Countrywide Financial are almost as endless as his seemingly outright lies and deceptions… now stands firmly behind Ted Kennedy’s Health Care Reform plan and asserts that we need to get this done. Less than 1% of the Connecticut voters say they will vote for his reelection and yet… he scowls at us when we throw up our hands in disgust?

Barbara Boxer dresses down a military general for calling her “ma’am” instead of “Senator, then wags her pointing finger at the Chairman of the National Black Chamber of Commerce and attempts to shout down his views on environmental issues that she champions and, when Harry Alford protests and voice his frustrations at her tactics, she dumps on him big time. He has since accused her openly of being racist, as it appears she is… and she scowls at us when we throw up our hands in disgust?

Nevada’s “Mr. Clean” Harry Reid has been trying to maintain a low profile ever since he raised the ire of millions of Americans when he tried to subvert the Constitution by refusing to seat newly appointed Illinois Senator Roland Burris last spring. Riding roughshod over the rest of the Senate herd, Reid has never hesitated to pull a dirty trick in order to ramrod his agendas down the throats of Congress or the American people. He scowls at us when we throw up our hands in disgust?

Finally comes our President, back from another international apology tour, who senses that the Health Care Reform Bill being tossed around the halls of Congress right now is in trouble because the American citizens are beginning to understand the future tax implications and losses of liberty that the bill embodies. In a true, tough Chicago basketball move, he puts on the full-court press and practically orders Congress to get the Bill passed before the August recess because he knows what Members of Congress are going to hear from Americans when they return to their states and he knows the Bill won’t stand a chance of passage as a result.

He too now scowls at us as we once more throw up our hands in disgust.

It’s as if they all would scowl together and lament, “Those damned, stupid citizens keep clinging on to their religions and guns!”

Don’t you think it’s time that we at least scowled back?

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
