Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See


The GOP wants to repeal ObamaCare because it's a Big Government takeover and a horrible intrusion on your personal freedom of choice. At the same time, they intend to use the machinery of that same govenment to control marriage between consenting adults, and to prevent some women from choosing to terminate their pregnancies. Incredibly, they see no contradiction in this whatsoever. They really just don't see it.

The moment President Obama is sworn in, the GOP says their only goal is his defeat in 2012. They stall, obstruct and dissemble at every turn. They engage in a birth certificate witch hunt, launch a state-by-state gerrymandering push, and pass voter suppression laws to limit turnout by the old, the young, and minorities. At the same time, they accuse the President of being "divisive". Again, they see no contradiction and they see no racism. Just don't see it.

Don't want to.
