A Quorum of Cowardly Quislings: Your Representative Government at Work

The U.S. Senate Shows Its True Colors – Gunmetal Grey and Green

“Mark my words: if we cannot make our communities safer with the Congress we have now, we will use every means available to make sure we have a different Congress, one that puts communities’ interests ahead of the gun lobby’s.” – Gabrielle Giffords

“Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And out on the street
Singing power to the people
Power to the people” – John  Lennon

“All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington” – President Barack Obama

Wednesday, April 17^th 2013 will forever be recalled as a sorrowful and regretful  day in our country’s proud history, for it was on that date when the pathetic, pitiful, un-patriotic, purchased and paid for, devious, unethical, immoral, (feel free to contribute colorful, creative, polysyllabic invectives of your own, employ Monsieur Roget for all he’s worth), treasonous, traitorous, treacherous, spineless, soulless, enemies of the people and of America – the  United States Senate,  rejected, discarded, spurned and snubbed (kudos, Roget) every principle, tenet,  and even, very foundation  of our government of the people, by the people and for the people.

On that early spring afternoon, the virtues and values that so many valiant men and women sacrificed, bled and died for over these last two centuries were rebuked, rejected and rebuffed. The dreams and determinations of our Founders; their brave new world of a free and equitable Republic and Representative Democracy was terminated and destroyed; and in its place was created a new nation, conceived in payoffs, lucre and bribery, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created unequal, and born to fulfill the financial fealties of those whom we’ve misguidedly selected to represent our needs and interests.  Our dishonorable and shameful Senators disregarded the wishes of 90% of the American public and instead chose blood over babies, money over morality, death over democracy, and the treasures of the opened purse of the National Rifle Association over the will of the people whom they have sworn to serve; in one single heinous and villainous vote, subverting Representative Democracy, shaming the memory of our Founding Fathers, and disgracing our great nation.

That decision, to not extend background checks to close the internet and gun show loopholes, was a determination that the right to massacre infinite numbers of our children, and the accompanying pecuniary profit gained, is of more importance than the right to life of our citizens and the desperate need to keep military assault weaponry out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable. Such seditiousness begs the query - how much money does it take to sell the lives of our offspring and precisely how does the NRA and Senate reach an agreement on those figures?

The U.S. Senate and the new United States of America – 2013 reboot

A new homeland requires a new flag and a new Pledge of Allegiance. Thanks to exhaustive and extensive research, and the complete willingness to just make stuff up, we here at “… and several butcher’s aprons” have acquired premiere, and exclusive rights, to that oath and banner and proudly and fictionally present it to you.

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the National Rifle Association, and to the Oligarchy for which is stands, a gun nation under Satan, divisible, with liberty and justice for those who can afford it.”

  

Power to the People

Perchance, might you be of a disposition to harass, harangue, annoy and aggravate? Would you be anxious to reclaim some of the rights and liberties granted to you by Providence? Below is a complete list of the vile-voting Legislators and their Twitter handles.  Let these Judas’s who sold out our country for bloody pieces of silver hear your vengeful voice and feel your righteous wrath.  As a collusive congregate, they have razed our Republic and transformed a land of liberty and freedom into an Oligarchy ruled and governed of and for the few. And remember, when the next massacre occurs, these are the accessories to the crime. May they find some measure of mercy in Hell, for they shall no longer find it here.
