Our Republic is a Treasure

The Onion took out a full-page ad in the New York Times today that looks like a newspaper with the headline: 

“Congress, now more than ever,
our nation needs your cowardice.” 

It read in part:

“Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can too easily be lost. 

Our Founding Fathers in their abundant wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power and taking zero actions as this precious inheritance was stripped away

- and that is where we have finally arrived.”

Congress members will have a copy of the ad in their mailboxes tomorrow when they get back to work on the Republicans’ enormously unpopular budget reconciliation bill.
