Creating the Crisis

Don't you just know, deep down, that all these errant republicans making the news are distracting sacrifices? . . . Don't you get the feeling with every resignation that something else is really brewing? . . . Isn't it like we are looking at "a show" but what we are seeing, isn't actually the "real deal?" And don't you just know there is another cataclysmic catastrophe around the bend? . . . And don't you just know there is some obscure piece of legislation that will either postpone an election or control it with "new, old" amendments? . . . It seems America has slipped into some strange "beyond the looking glass time warp" and there is just no getting out of it. When I read the headlines, I am reminded of another time and place. I keep thinking of the old days in Al-Anon. Just for the record, different husband, different "life," but the rhetoric and the terms of the organization still resonate. I remember when they told us that "as our significant other" attempted to give up the addiction, there would be times of creating a crisis. Well, since we have a President that is an admitted recovering alcoholic, don't you just wonder? I realize his fan club is in total denial of this, but the AA teachings and the Al Anon support groups do confirm that this is part of the behavior of a recovering alcoholic. I'm wondering just how many of his "following" are "unresolved enablers" or co-dependent. Just how many of the Bush camp would qualify as members of Al Anon with someone in their life? Is anybody else beginning to notice a marked difference between the Bush camp and true conservatives and the rest of the republican party? The Bush fans are no longer the mainstream members of the GOP. And anyone that is reading any news headlines at all is aware that those that claim to be republicans are no longer necessarily traditionally conservative in their "social interactions." That's why we have all this "taking responsibility business." With some of the Bush camp and supporters, "taking responsibility" is license to do whatever they choose, then when caught, simply take responsibility.
Having been through this sort of thing in my twenties with others in some sort of "recovery," I'm just waiting for "the other shoe to drop!"
Will it be another war? Will it be a postponement to a "free election" in America? Will it be more 'hand-wringing" helplessness? Whatever crisis comes to pass, it should come as no great surprise . . .
