The new Congress convened yesterday and already Boehner is talking about cutting Social Security and Medicare--while we continue dumping trillions into the bottomless money pits of counter-productive Middle East wars without a peep from our lawmakers. Apparently, this insanity has become a Congressional Entitlement.
Historically, how often has a major power won an overseas guerrilla war?
The irony of our conservative "patriots" adopting the Boston Tea Party for a symbol is particularly rich.
The original Tea Partiers were guerrillas fighting an imperialistic super-power. Sound familiar?
If what we're attempting in Iraq, Afghanistan and beyond had a chance of success, we'd still be a tea-drinking nation--and driving to the cricket match on the left side of the road.
