Infuriating

"........happened because of the same reason the Civil War happened in the United States. The Civil War happened because the Southern states, particularly the slave-holding states, didn't want to see a president who was opposed to slavery. In this case a lot of people in this country, I believe, don't want to be governed by an African American, particularly one who is inclusive, who is liberal, who wants to spend money on everyone and who wants to reach out to include everyone in our society. That's a basic philosophical clash."

Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.)  

----Congressman Moran's take on why Democrats were ousted from power in 2010----

A good scolding is needed by the citizens in Congressman Moran's district.  Although they certainly aren't alone in sending morons to congress; they sent this guy.

I ask the good people of his district to look around at your neighbors. Do they look like a bunch of unreconstructed yokels hell bent on succession over having a black president?  Do they?  Are we as passionately divided over the president's skin color as the nation was over slavery and the power struggle between the federal and state government?

The answer to both questions is an obvious and resounding no.

How do jack-asses like this guy get elected?  Plenty of blame to go around, and I hear it all the time.  "Special interest money," or "disenfranchised youth or minority voters," or blah blah blah effing blah.

I'll tell you who's at fault.  Us.  You and me pal.  We are the ones who continue to elect these people. It's a democracy.  He was seated in the house because he won the most votes in his district.

I have no earthly idea about this man's politics, and I don't care.  All I need to know is he believes that the tens of millions of voters that disagree with him are just a bunch of dumb racists incapable of seeing past the president's skin color.

Our country has a lot of problems, and we are never going to solve them with guys like this running the show.

So to the people of his district....You should be ashamed of yourselves.  I really wish I could line you all up and go R. Lee Ermy on your asses.  You're not alone.  Plenty of others failed to live up to their end of the bargain as well, but this one is on you.

Now get your asses in gear and fix the problem.
