By Zena Gray signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court, a law that does nothing more than extend the possibility of health insurance to the millions of Americans who do not presently have it. Mind you, this law was based on a proposal from a conventional think-tank and taken out on the test track in Massachusetts by a Republican governor who also happens to have been the party’s 2012 nominee for president of the United States. That is why the government of the United States continues to remain closed.

Well maybe the few still living with child-like naiveté could not have seen this day coming. But when voters elected the worst Congress in history in 2010, they set forth the surefire decision that this day would come. Of course in the past we’ve had Congresses that were more remiss, more negligent, more indolent and more malicious, but there has never been a single House of the Congress with a more disastrous grouping of political aspiration, political foolishness, and vain displays of politics than those that exist in this one, which in turn has resulted in shutting down the federal government.
Why you ask? Because this glorious group of intellects that was put together disapproves of a law passed by a previous Congress,
“The only real consequences will be felt by the millions of people affected by what this Congress has forced upon the nation, which was the whole point all along, wasn’t it?”
We have elected a national legislature in which Louie Gohmert and Michele Bachmann have more power than the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Americans can’t look to place the blame anywhere except on ourselves. We elected this collective assembly of ungovernable people. From the Bible-thumpers to the absolute frauds, we have elected people to govern us who do not believe in government. We have elected a national legislature in which Louie Gohmert and Michele Bachmann have more power than the Speaker of the House of Representatives. We have elected a national legislature that looks into the mirror and sees itself already cast in marble. We did this. We looked at our great legacy of selfgovernment and we handed ourselves over to the reign of morons. (continued on page 3)
