Remember how not long ago the Republican Party contended that President Obama's healthcare law was destroying our freedom? That probably happened earlier today as a matter of fact. Oh, it just happened again. ...and again. ...and again. This could go on for a while, I'm thinking...
Well, wouldn't you know it? The same House Republicans whom elected to shut down the federal government and cost this country $24 billion because the Senate and president wouldn't go along with their idea to defund or delay Obamacare have decided to try and pass a bill which would require a person to pay a fee of $5,000 if he or she wanted to file an official protest against a proposed drilling project.
House Republican logic
Trying to improve our healthcare system through a mandate and more competition - a threat to our freedom
Forcing a person to pay a $5,000 fee in order to protest drilling - perfectly acceptable
Fortunately, President Obama said that if the Federal Lands Jobs and Energy Security Act passes both the House and the Senate, he will likely veto it.
The GOP certainly is the spokes-party for freedom as it so claims, isn't it? The party reminds me of a song I'm about to make up, which I'll call, "Freedumb."
"Freedumb"
Unless you're black and want to vote,
Or a guy who likes another dude,
A woman who's about to die,
We believe in freedumb,
Unless you wanna yell about oil,
Or marry your own kind,
Wanna build a mosque,
We believe in freedumb,
We believe in freedumb,
F-r-e-e-d-u-m-b,
Free from rules are the rich,
Too dumb to see are the rest,
We believe in freedumb,
F-r-e-e-d-u-m-b,
Free from the rules are we,
Too dumb to see are the rest.
