Balkanize

"Balkanize" means to break into parts. As the Ottoman Empire receded into history, the World Powers started nipping off spheres of influence in the Balkans.

I think the Republican Party needs help. Even as the Senate Comittee on Foreign Relations expressed deep concerns about their Boss's nominee Bolton, they held their noses and did their job, knowing very well it would ensure his installment in the institution he has vowed to destroy. Republicans don't need to be humiliated this way. They need to see themselves individually within the festering mess their mob has created, and weigh whether their leaders are actually pursuing the same interests.

The Culture War they're waging against their culture is misunderstood. Culture is diet. Community events like parades, theater, libraries are culture. The prohitibtion of nipples can't be included in 'Culture'. Marriage? That's in there somewhere, but so are gay folks. My neighbor sends his daughter to Chinese School. Another sends his son to Hebrew School. There, they learn the language and history of their ancestors. That's culture: Reading and Writing.

How many of our reps have been divorced? How many hide that data? We don't know how many have been divorced, because they all hide that data. I don't want them trying to protect my marriage.

How many reps are Christian? How many groups did Christ marginalize? How many opponents did he try to humiliate? How many Christians are supposed to give out Unconditional Love to Everyone? There are strings attached to everything in Washington, so it's not Christian. Christians don't demean their opponents, favoring instead chivalry. Christ walked with prostitutes, fishermen and rebels against Dominion. Since Dominion is the goal of these GOP dingbats, we can see their motives are hardly Christian.

So what are they? Republicans, you already know the discomfort of forced association. Please don't force Karl Rove's One-Party-Amercia on us if you're planning to allow your party to be run this way. Until you rebel against the ignorant leadership you hired, you're all terrible.
