Nuclear Senate and Presidential Hubris Questions Remain

To all of the people who participated in the November 4 mid-term elections, Thank You! Without question, I am ecstatic with the results because I sense the beginning of a possible respite from the cancerous growth of the progressive movement in our nation.

However, this election begs for answers to two questions:

Question number one: Will the Republican Party take advantage of this opportunity to pronounce the Nuclear Senate established by Harry Reid and the Democratic Party dead in the water or leave it untouched and use it in vengeance against that party? I sincerely hope that it is destroyed. This is a golden opportunity for all elected Senators from both parties, not just the new majority party, to do the right thing. The right to filibuster is important to all of us because it is a protection against the abusive rule and tyranny of those who are a part of a majority. That is why democracies fail and why the United States of America is a republic.

Question number two: When will our president finally come to grips with his personal hubris and truly make an effort to be the leader that this nation needs and deserves? For this man to tell this nation that he has heard the one third who voted in this latest election and then state that he also heard the voices of the two thirds who didn't vote is classic hubris. A simple thesaurus search reveals hubris as arrogance, conceit, haughtiness, self importance, superiority and superciliousness. Clearly, he lives and breathes excessive pride and is on a path toward his own personal nemesis. From the Greek, nemesis is literally ‘retribution’. The antonym for hubris is humility. I hope that he chooses wisely.
