"... the Republican leadership has made political orphans of millions of Americans"

No, that heading is not the latest demonization of Republicans to be spewed by Obama's minions. It's a quote from the latest MUST-READ by Angelo Codevilla:

As Country Club Republicans Link Up With The Democratic Ruling Class, Millions Of Voters Are Orphaned

 

.... By repeatedly passing bills that contradict the identity of Republican voters and of the majority of Republican elected representatives, the Republican leadership has made political orphans of millions of Americans. In short, at the outset of 2013 a substantial portion of America finds itself un-represented, while Republican leaders increasingly represent only themselves.

 

Codevilla is one of the very few spot-on observers of our times and as such is always worth reading... but all the more so if you ARE one of those political orphans.

-- Yael

" In 1776 America’s country class responded to lack of representation by uniting under the concept: 'all men are created equal.'  In our time, its disparate sectors’ common sentiment is more like:

'who the hell do they think they are?' "

It isn't just Republican "leaders" who have lost their bearings. Yesterday, four run-of-the-mill Republican senators (including one -- Rand Paul -- who aspires to the presidency) voted to make Chuck Hagel -- an antisemitic nincompoop and surely the most unqualified person ever nominated for the job -- Secretary of Defense. Which makes me wonder: Is anybody who's stupid enough to vote for Hagel for ANY job really qualified to sit in the United States Senate? Or should we just conclude that these four guys have betrayed the cause of Republicanism -- and deserve to be voted out of office?
