An Open Letter To John Boehner

 
 
Dear John..or can I call you Johnny?
 
John-Boy, I am very concerned about what seems to be your lack of an operational spine and testicles. I don't know what these Tea Dragging morons have on you, but it must be awful for you to kowtow to the worst bunch of political bullies to come down the pike since the days of Boss Tweed.
 
Is it just that they threaten your seat as Speaker of the House? Is the dubious prestige of that position worth watching your country go to hell in a handbasket? Or is it something deeper...have you done something so reprehensible that to have it see the light of day would ruin all you hold dear? Are you being blackmailed? Is that it? Perhaps you are being extorted and so you will allow a nasty, evil, vocal minority to extort the rest of us, all in the name of trying to ruin the name and legacy of one of the best chief executives we have had in years.
 
See, Johnny, M'Lad, when you give in to the pressure, you just allow for more of the same. You are already ending your career as a congressional representative, so what is the problem? Right now you look more flattened than a Cuban sandwich. You have the power to make a MAJORITY of the nation happy. Just allow a real vote on a clean bill. What's so hard about that? Are they going to cut off what is left of your manhood and let you bleed to death? Will Ted Cruz put a Canadian Mojo on you? I just don't see it. I am at a loss to understand why you are digging your own grave.
 
Those folks that seem to hold your leash have made our nation into an international laughing-stock. Those that aren't laughing are disgusted. Children and the elderly are going without food. Our educational system, once one of the finest in the world, is reduced to sending out high school graduates that cannot spell or write in cursive. They read "Through The Looking Glass" and state that it is about a rabbit. They can sound out the words in the content but do not have the thinking skills to get the context.
 
And what's with this pandering to the religious right? Since when has government been the business of the church or vice-versa? Do you, as an educated man, not see the danger in that bit of chicanery? The Supreme Court is in deep doo-doo as well. (Next up...a letter to John Roberts. Hizzoner needs a smack-down.) Face it. ALL of you on the far right are dangerously over-stepping and messing with the things that most of us hold dear. Separation of church and state is a VITAL part of our Constitution. It allows for diversity and disallows oppression on religious grounds. It amazes me that the evangelical christian Taliban screams that we are headed for Sharia Law when they are endeavoring to do the same damn thing. Think about it John. Are you pure enough for the reactionary Puritans? Do the Koch-backed Dominionists pull your many strings?
 
I would love to see you step up and be a Real Man and do your job as it is intended to be done. But I have little hope of that happening. You and your cohorts are playing a game of "Who Blinks First," but we who are watching are sick and tired of your playtime. We have elections coming up next year and there are a vast legion of voters who are ready to fire your worthless asses. You will be out of the running for Congress, but what you might be doing after that is anyone's guess. Let's just say there are those of us who will do all in our power to make sure you are doing nothing in the halls of government.
 
I don't know what they have on you, John. It must be pretty bad. Or else you are what you are being called...a total COWARD. I'm sorry as I can be, but I am more sorry for the people who are getting the shitty end of the stick from you and your butt-buddies. There's a reckoning coming. Count on it.
 
Cheers,
Robin
