GUEST BLOGGER: TYRONE POWER
Good God what has happened to the Republican Party? They just seem crazy these days, and not in a fun way. At least I could laugh at Ann Coulter. It was fun hearing Mary Matalin and James Carville throw verbal jibes at each other. Now we have crazy Glenn Beck shouting ‘Nazi’ and ‘Racist’ at the President of the United States. They all seem like a bunch of loony tunes characters these days, straight out of Central Casting. Whatever happened to the good old days? I used to love listening to William Buckley. Disagreed with him, sure, but the man was intelligent and thoughtful. A fun opponent. And he knew the difference between feces and shoe polish.
Now we’re at a point where discussion from the right seems to have descended to the intellectual level of a Michael Vick dogfight. Nothing but name-calling and the promulgation of misinformation and alarmist rhetoric. “Nazi Robots will steal your social security check and disconnect your cable!!”
Is this the best we’ve got? Barry Goldwater must be turning over in his grave (although he was kind of turning over before the grave…)
The real problem is, there’s no agenda from the right. And even speaking as a Democrat, we need an agenda from the right. Balance, not bull**it.
You think Obama’s health care reform is too costly? Really? You didn’t balk at spending over a trillion on a dishonest war in Iraq or on bailing out banks and car companies. But then again health care is someone else’s problem. That’s why we’re the only civilized nation on earth whose health is in the hands of insurance companies, drug companies and the stock market.
Education? I see you’re screaming about Obama ‘brainwashing your kids’. (Are your kids really that easily influenced? Then for GOD’S SAKE get them to stop watching Miley Cyrus and WWF wrestling.
But again, you don’t propose doing anything except cutting funding for education. I’ll listen to your arguments as soon as you can tell me why you think it’s okay that gun shows all over the country sell automatic weapons to drug cartels.
No, seriously, I’ll listen. Really, I want to. Like before, when there was intelligent discussion.
Just stop shouting at Town Halls and start actually saying something.
The First Tyrone Power, who acted on the American stage in 1833; William Grattan Tyrone Power (1795 – 17 March 1841) known professionally as Tyrone Power was a stage actor, comedian, author, and theatrical manager. He took to the stage achieving prominence throughout the world as an actor and manager. He was lost at sea when the ship PRESIDENT sank.He was well known for acting in such Irish-themed plays as Catherine Gore’s King O’Neil (1835), his own St. Patrick’s Eve (1837), Samuel Lover’s Rory O’More (1837) and The White Horse of the Peppers (1838), Anna Marie Hall’s The Groves of Blarney (1838), Eugene Macarthy’s Charles O’Malley (1838), and Bayle Bernard’s His Last Legs (1839) and The Irish Attorney (1840). In his discussion of these works, Richard Allen Cave has argued that Power, both in his acting as well as his choice of plays, sought to rehabilitate the Irishman from the derogatory associations with “stage Irishmen” (”Staging the Irishman” in Acts of Supremacy [1991]).
