"Go Sit At The Children's Table."

Senator Jim DeMint is placing blame on President Obama for the most recent attempted terrorist attack on America because President Obama has yet to place an individual to head the Transportation Security Administration (T.S.A.)

Huh!

The President has named an individual to head the T.S.A. Department, but the nomination is being blocked by an individual who’s afraid that President Obama's choice will allow the airport baggage handlers to unionize. The person blocking the nomination is the jester himself--Senator Jim DeMint.

It appears that Jim DeMint is more concerned about being a union buster than protecting Americans from would-be terrorists which leaves me perplexed. Republicans blame Democrats and vice-versa for the near fatal but foiled attack on the Republic. Americans, the very citizens that career politicians are elected to serve, have lost trust in the aforementioned, and the wretched "venom of pessimism" has begun to flow through our veins.

We must fight the pessimism. Fight it!

Jim DeMint wants to be President a friend told me recently. "Of what?" I responded. Of America my friend said. "Of what America?" I asked. He said the United States of America. Jim DeMint wants to be President of the United States, and yet he not only flip flops between being a Republican, a Conservative, and a Tea Bagger, but he is also performing the same juggling act between saying he will protect Americans from terrorists but fails to actually perform the effort. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney gave the same speech, and after 9/11, Americans are still asking "How" and "Why."

Senator Jim DeMint is relegated to the children's table because he still views the world through the eyes of a child. Like a spoiled child at that. If Senator DeMint does not get what he wants, he takes his ball and leaves the playing field, and America cannot afford adults in leadership roles that act like children. What America requires is elected officials that are grown-ups with integrity, non-partisanship, intelligence, ingenuity to implement effective action plans, and compassion to guide and safe guard the Republic. Alas, Senator Jim DeMint is not one of those grown-ups.

Senator Jim DeMint, unblock President Obama’s nomination for the head of the Transportation Security Administration and let’s implement an action plan that will protect American citizens from adversaries that would attempt to bring the darkness of Hades on our soil. In doing so, Sir, you’ll take your first step towards becoming an adult.
