It's All About Sensitivity

I was thinking about the Democrat's five week vacation today. I did this while hard at work, doing my small part of contributing to the welfare of America's economy. I had random thoughts also, of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's contributions to the welfare of our nation's economy. It is closing in on midnight just now, and I still have to come up with but one of her contributions.

Wait though. It isn't because the woman hasn't tried. She simply hasn't had fortune on her side. What a shame for her; what a blessing for America. While waiting patiently for this single accomplishment to reveal itself to me, I thought of her past near misses. She tried desperately, but unsuccessfully to have that man of distinction, Alcee Hastings, appointed as House Intelligence Committee Chair. Almost succeeded too, until those rascally Republicans publicly noted that Mr. Hastings was the same former Federal judge impeached, and removed from office. They even had the temerity to note that Ms. Pelosi, herself, had voted for his impeachment. Scratch one!

Next on the list of august names for appointment, was one John Murtha. He seemed a logical choice to be the Democrats new Majority Leader. Then came the revelation of his past. An unindicted co-conspirator in the Abscam scandal of years ago, and his seeming unrepentance. Scratch two!

Who can forget William Jefferson, aka "Cold Cash Jefferson". She wanted him appointed to the Homeland Security Committee. The vote was unanimous! Unfortunately, Republicans didn't think he was a good fit for that committee seat. No doubt because he couldn't protect his domicile from the prying eyes of federal investigators. Wouldn't want his hands gripping a nuclear trigger, would we? Scratch three!

Not since Henry Clay, has the US House had such an individual as it's Speaker. In Clay's defense, he merely presided over the declaration of war in 1812. He also pushed his agenda of support for the development of America's transportation infrastructure. He saw a need, and developed an action plan of implementation. Contrast that with Speaker Pelosi's action plan for American energy independence. Can anyone spell vacation?

So many Democrats who think they really are the president! Wasn't it Senator Obama who referred to himself as having been a Senator LAST YEAR? How about Speaker Pelosi's defiant trip to Damascus, Syria, to meet with President Bashar Assad, and convey warmth, and the fuzzies, while carrying good tidings from Israel in hand. She sure showed President Bush how to get it done, didn't she?

Heaven help us if the Democrats decide that the Twenty-fifth ammendment to the Constitution should be revisited, especially as it relates to presidential succession. As third in line, Ms. Pelosi must feel that close, just a heartbeat away from the grandest chair in the office. Talk about breaking glass ceilings! Is Susan B. Anthony turning in her grave, or just turning the page in this woeful tale of two Americas?

Perhaps we shouldn't be so harsh, nor so negative here. It is possible isn't it that the Speaker is back home where she left her heart, in San Francisco? I can see her now, prodding the city elders to reverse their "Sanctuary City Policy". You know, because in August this year, Edwin Ramos, a beneficiary of that lofty status, murdered a father and his two sons after a traffic dispute. What a wonderfully caring woman, wife, and mother.

Life goes on, except in the cases of the murdered Bologna family members. A wife and a mother is left to singly prod Mayor Newsom and his brethren on the matter of ridding the city of this sanctuary policy, and the murderous illegal thugs as well. Life does go on, and it is time once again to check on the progress of the children.
