House Republicans are leading an absurd "Confederate Charge" the last act of the Battle of Gettysburg.. Their rebellious charge against Obama is also against the republic, meaning us, especially the less fortunate and the 9 percent unemployed

Republican Super Ignorants and Simpletons like Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan have plans to sink the Nation in Economic Stagnation and Despair ... Like Lincoln and the Union Army in Gettysburg reinforcements are needed to fight this battle helping President Obama.

Republicans Disrespect Obama on Debt Ceiling


Some excerpts :

So yesterday a gaggle of House Republican leaders went to see President Obama in the White House, where he lives as the elected leader of our American democracy, but they did not pay their respects. Nor did they listen to sweet reason on the economy's quiet desperation.

Right now, House Republicans are leading a Pickett's Charge—the last act of the three-day Battle of Gettysburg by General Robert E. Lee's men in Confederate gray uniform. Their rebellious charge against Obama is also against the republic, meaning us, especially the less fortunate and the 9 percent unemployed. Even the well-off, with their George W. Bush tax cuts extended, are watching their dimes. Doomed though it was, the Confederate brigade soldiers shed a lot of blood on both sides in an ultimately losing battle and Civil War. The 1863 denouement still goes down in some histories and novels as grand and noble, but not in my book. [Read the U.S. News debate: Should Congress raise the debt ceiling?]

So it makes me mad—and sad—to see American history repeat itself almost as a predestined drama that would make Sophocles weep.

About Democrats in Congress and elsewhere :

Drawing on another Civil War parallel, they are acting timid, like the Union's Army of the Potomac in the opening months of the Civil War. Under Gen. George McClellan, the army did more drilling than fighting until President Lincoln got exasperated enough to refer to it as "General McClellan's bodyguard."

Like Lincoln, Obama urgently needs more help from his side, his army, his supporters. Send in the allies willing to fight in the modern-day Devil's Den, Little Round Top, and Peach Orchard in Gettysburg. Because if they fight, the Democrats will win the decisive battle of this civil war.
