The year 2013 is shaping up to be the year of the island. Republicans, it seems, have decided to give up singing America the Beautiful for the Simon and Garfunkle lyrics " I am a rock I am an island." The tenant that America is a diverse nation has given way to the self centered ideology that there are 315 million separate little islands that are ungovernable. Electing congressmen , whose whole goal is to obstruct and wage gridlock , is just insane. How has this madness come about? Republican governors draw up voting districts that ensure right wing zealots being elected. Politicians of this ilk don't put Americans first, ideological purity comes first. They care only about not allowing the government any tax revenue. They've got theirs and to hell with everyone else. Mitt Romney said it best, " I don't care about those people they won't vote for me anyway. Even Gilligan wanted to get off the island named after him but Republicans want their own islands. Until the vast majority of Republicans are voted from office America will remain a stalled ship just drifting along on the worlds currents.
