I have an idea. Let’s stop calling them “conservatives.” Let’s stop calling them “right-wing,” or anything else that has the connotations of a political philosophy. Let’s call them “Republicans,” and by doing so let’s recognize the word is a team name only, no different than calling them The Elephants or the GoP.

Because they don’t vouch for any kind of political ideal anymore. They are strictly anti-Obama. Whatever Obama wants, they’re opposed to, regardless of what it means. You know people like this—ask them who their favorite football team is, and they’ll say “whoever’s playing against the 49ers.” Or the Yankees. Or the Lakers.

Which is fine in sports, but in politics is just damaging to the country as a whole. It’s the cancer that makes a two-party system truly worthless. It’s the reason the proposed healthy care plan can’t get legs.

The latest example is how the various pundits are joyful about in Obama’s not getting Chicago for the 2016 Olympics. Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, to name a few. Go read this better written article at Huffington to see what I mean.

Glenn Beck crying on cue, Sean Hannity invoking the name “Hussein” every time he mentions the president, Anne Coulter’s Muslim-bashing. These are not “conservative” issues. These are the rants and insults that chubby arm-chair quarterbacks hurl at the guy in the bar wearing the other team’s colors.

Ask their followers why they’re anti-Obama, and they’ll give you reasons like He Wasn’t Born Here, or He Wants To Kill Grandma, or even His Wife Wears Outfits That Expose Her Shoulders. Can someone explain to me how this has anything to do with making our country a better place to live?

“That Trip to Copenhagen was a huge waste of time. There’s more important things for him to be doing.” That’s one argument, but consider this: Obama has been president for just 260 days. When your Bush was President, he spent over 900 days at Camp David or his ranch. I think we can spare Barack HUSSEIN Obama a few days to bring some goodwill and tourist revenue to one of our nation’s premier cities.

So I’m calling for an end to giving them the benefit of the doubt. They do not preach a conservative message, these angry gorillas. They don’t have a right-wing agenda. They’re not even capable of a pro-rich conspiracy anymore. I mean, at least Cheney, being evil, was true to a form.

No, they’re just a bunch of GoPs in their ball caps and their team-shirts, throwing beer cans at the other teams’ logo. Losers.
