“House of Turds”
With House Speaker John Boehner’s picture
Agree or disagree?
Agree! Agree! Agree!
With thousand voices of Government workers
Who have no work and no pay
John Boehner’s Government Shutdown!
Unashamed and unaffected you are
You get paid no matter what
How much work is lost from the Shutdown of Government?
It’s O.K. for you Mr. Boehner and your Tea Party gang
If there are no jobs or the economy is bad
You are going to blame the black man in the White House
And shout out loud
“He is not a capable President”
Impeach him! Impeach him!
Is that what all you prejudice people want?
Bring him down no matter what
Even if the country will collapse or default
He is not black
No one is
His skin is naturally brown
How come you are so tanned?
You are a white man aren’t you?
You are fooling yourself and others
By making your skin tanned
But wait!
You have African blood too
We all do
It is your body and your prerogative
But by shutting down Government
You destroy the country!
And the people!
Pleasing Your Tea Party
That is your legacy
No one will forget
What you did
It is not too late
Get people back to work
Then they can do the Government’s work
That is what you want isn’t it?
Working for you!
You come to work for the country
Having fairness for the people
Who you are supposed to work for
The whole country!
Not just for one minority group of people
Be smart!
Do the right thing
No one said
You are stupid to Shutdown the Government
But The Daily News front page said

Shut It Down! Shut It Down!
Eric Canton, my pal
Dictate me! Dictate me
Said John Boehner
Hey! Rand Paul Come!
Whistling in my ear
We win! We win!
We have more power than anyone
In this land
We can command the Shutdown of Government
Tea Party Republican and John Boehner with his tan skin
And perfect hairdo
Proudly declare
“We want fairness for American citizens.
American people told us so”
Unashamed! Unashamed!
The poor and the government workers
Said with no voice
Hey! John Boehner, Eric Canton, Rand Paul
And all the other Republicans
You are all government workers too!
But you all get paid
You, law makers cleverly issued
Self’s protection, no matter what you want to do
Clever law makers are you?
You all get paid
Unashamed! Unashamed!
The poor and the government workers
Said with no voice
Cut down the Food Stamp Fund
The Poor eat too much
The Republican said out loud
With kindness and God on their side
But wealthy pharmaceutical companies
Paying tax for medical devices
No cannot do
Not fair, not fair
Said the Tea Party Republicans
And the rest of the Republicans
Quietly follow along with the Tea Party
We have to shutdown government
To protect the wealthy pharmaceutical companies
Shutdown Government!
Shut it down!
All the Republicans show their Power
Who are the government workers?
I do not know
Who care if the government workers
Waiting for the pay checks
For food, for rent, mortgages
Or medicine for sick children
I do not know
And I do not care
Said all the Republicans
We are all government workers too!
But we all get paid
We, law makers cleverly issued
Self’s protection, no matter what we want to do
We want to cut down the deficit
Said all the Republicans
Sixteen days shutting down the government
Cost the government more than twenty-four billion
Important government work lost for sixteen days
Let alone the reputation and credit of the country
President Barack Obama
Cannot go to the APEC CEO Summit in Indonesia
American Influence is lost
Trade by American corporations with Asian countries
Would be affected not only by the financial loss
But by the loss of jobs for American workers
All law makers should be concerned
Their job is to help the citizens
What is the consequence?
I do no know
Said Tea Party Republicans and John Boehner
And the rest of the Republicans agree
They proudly declare
Shutdown Government!
Shut it down!
Show them we have power!
Yes, we can!
I do not understand much about the laws and the country’s policy but as an uninformed person I think it is dangerous to have one man, Mr. John Boehner have authority to prevent the democratic votes in the house of representative and be able to cause the shutdown the government. How can the country do all the business that the government is supposed to do for the citizens? How about if Mr. John Boehner wants to hold on to his authority to shutdown government for longer than sixteen days, maybe a year or two or longer then does everybody has to comply? I think the country will be doomed if this happens. Who are the people who made this law? They probably are the same group that allows special privileges for law makers to get paid even though others will suffer while waiting the a merciful decision by the Republican leader in the house.
I do not think this type of law is of benefit to any one even if the Democrats have the majority in the house and use the same tactics the Republicans. Republicans will not like it if the leader of Democratic Party in control of the House behaves as Mr. John Boehner does. Mr. Boehner wants to keep his job more than keep his reputation and helping the citizens including government workers. Who is going to get into trouble? I think not the wealthy law makers but all the citizens that law makers swear to help. Law makers are supposed to help all citizens to have a better and more peaceful life.
Something needs to be changed in order not to cause suffering to citizens who are affected by the shutdown of the government directly or indirectly. This shut down produces turmoil for the entire country and the world. If the country is going to progress democratically, becoming a more civilized society, then law makers have to have integrity, honesty and be willing to serve all citizens.
The members of Congress are elected to help all citizens but not elected to cause problems. In the past corrupt members of Congress have been sent to jail or punished in some other way. But in some cases politicians were able to use their position to cause a lot of trouble for citizens. For example, Senator Joseph McCarthy used the Senate Committee on Un-American Activities during the period from 1950 to 1954 to destroy innocent people who lost their jobs and some killed themselves. He called them Communists and traitors with lies and false claims in a process now known as McCarthyism.
Someone mention to me that Ted Cruz looks a lot like Joseph McCarthy. I hope Mr. Cruz will be aware enough of the comparison not to cause citizens and country to suffer the kind of trouble caused by Mr. McCarthy. Politicians sometimes have hidden agendas to promote themselves first before attending to their duty to represent the people who elected them. This lack of love of country and its citizens will do a lot of harm not only in the present but in the future affecting the next generation and those beyond.
Selfish people who elect selfish politicians to represent them have only themselves to blame when things go wrong. Let us learn from the government shutdown and become more civilized. We can show the world that Americans at the present time are able to cultivate themselves to be better, influencing the world to be closer, more peaceful and harmonious.
After I wrote the above passages I went to Google learning more about McCarthyism. I found an article “Ted Cruz-The Reincarnation Of Joe McCarthy” written by Rick Ungar, Forbes website, if you have time please read this article.
