I'm back!

After a long hiatus promoting my new book, A Letter to US Middle-Class Christians, and frankly taking some time off and moving, whew, I am back.

And none too soon. While I was away the Tea Baggers threatened to force the US into default on our debts. Imagine that.

EJ Dionne, of the Washington Post puts it like this: "“We weren’t kidding around, either,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told The Post. “Wewould have taken it down.” He said it with pride, yet the “it” involved the American economy and America’s standing around the globe. This is patriotism?"


Indeed.


I saw Jim DeMint calling the "Blaming of the Tea Party for Downgrade, Pitiful", well sorry Mr DeMint, but this is now "THE TEA PARTY DOWNGRADE". You play with fire, you get burned, it's your fault. Congratulations on the latest miscalculation by politicians elected in a mixed government, thinking they have a mandate to blow things up. Sorry, controlling one-half of one branch of government is not a mandate, you don't get to do whatever you want, you must comprimise, and if you don't and especially if you do harm (as you did) you will get booted from the privilege of serving the American people.


I expect the 2012 election will be a repudiation by voters of the Tea Party insanity and we will see the center of American politics move back toward the Left again.


Agree?
