Irrational and Irresponsible – Extremism in America (#43)
Since the first term election of Barack Obama as President of the United States, the Republican Party has vowed to oppose his administration’s every initiative to the point of shameful and destructive partisanship. ‘Shameful’ because they are acting like immature juveniles, and ‘destructive’ because they are undermining stability in a very unstable global political and economic environment. If a country sets itself up as a ‘World Leader’, which the United States certainly does, then it must act like one, especially at home where its credibility is initially earned.
