Apparently republicans are quick to forget. At least that is the impression I have been getting lately. There have been many moments that make me think that… but this morning I was getting my son ready for school and decided to turn on the tv to see what’s happening in the world. I turned the channel to msnbc to watch Morning Joe. Certainly not because I like Joe Scarborough… I think he is an arrogant, self serving asshole who couldn’t hack it as a politician. No, I have to admit, I watch it for Mika. Anyway… on to my rant… This morning the shit spewing forth from Joe’s mouth had to do with the release of the CIA memos about torture. He was rambling on about how several politicians knew what was going on back in 2002 and 2003 as they were heading up committees that were briefed on these actions. Yet they didn’t speak up or do anything about it back then and now they are outraged by the knowledge that we tortured. He went on about how in the aftermath of 9/11 they were all willing to do whatever it took but now that the country is “safe” they are outraged.

Seems like maybe Mr. Scarborough has forgotten a thing or two about how the Bush administration operated which pretty much falls in line with how the rest of the Republican party is acting these last few months (I could go off on a whole new rant just on that.. but im going to stay focused on my point and get this over with…).

I recall years of hearing shit like “you’re either with us, or against us” spewing forth from the almighty Bush administration. The patriotism of people being brought into question. Whether or not they loved their country. We were all told that the shit the President and his administration was doing was needed in order to protect our country and if it was questioned by anyone, the person was labeled as Anti-American or non being a patriot.

Maybe Mr. Scarborough has forgotten about all of that? Or maybe he is just going on being his old self serving, arrogant, asshole like self. Who knows, but there isn’t much room for anything else in his statements as far as I’m concerned.
