National Healthcare

Actually, there is the number one proposal that will change the entire political pair-a-dine, and that is National Healthcare. Obama’s plan is more incremental than most dems, but it is still going to be the battle Royale between left and right. Once it becomes the law of the land, the last nail in the Conservative Movement coffin will be driven in. It will redraw the political playing field in favor of dems, and change our economic model forever. With businesses, especially small ones, no longer having to worry about this albatross around their necks, it will cause a boon in small businesses across the board, and also help big corporations. At least in the beginning. Later on, paying for it will mean more taxes likely and other problems of delivery and facilitation. Wingnuts will be reduced to braying about socialism and chipping away around the edges. The edges of the voters life and death access to health care.

The Coming Show

In sixty three days, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. After 8 years of governance by the GOP, if you want to call it that, the reality of having a democratic run government is slowly sinking in. The country is currently teetering on the brink of economic disaster, we have two wars going on and the task ahead for democrats to clean up Bush's giant mess is breathtaking and a little overwhelming.

We here at the Funhouse look forward to the good fight to come. Our wingnut rivals will be bringing on the stoopid in heavy doses, and liberal purists will test our patience. There is nothing remotely funny about the present state of America and the world, but Funny is nevertheless a necessary nutrient for the body politic and great effort will be made to deliver it in appropriate doses, along with the serious. Our correspondents and contributors are as clueless as any MSM counterpart, but the different is that we know it and they don't. So buckle up for the ride through snark land and parody park.

No, I agree. A Constitutional Republic needs two viable parties to
work properly. The trouble is, that the devils bargain with the
Southern Strategy has come full circle. What we call Wingnuttery is
actually not the Republican Party nor loyal conservatism. What we now
have in charge of the GOP, are the remnants
of the conquered secessionist ideology of the Old South. Their beef is
with the Constitution itself, or those parts that are either explicit
or have evolved liberally into things like progressive taxation,
separation of church and state, total equality under the law and a
whole host of public laws that insure fairness and accountability, such
as privacy, and laws of God versus those of Men.


The conflict is currently intractable IMO, and who knows what will emerge out of the ashes of the also conquered Conservative Movement.
