GOP DENIES THEY ARE TERRORIST AL QAEDA CELL BENT ON SHUTTING DOWN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

By R J Shulman

WASHINGTON – (PTSD News Service) – House Speaker John Boehner vehemently denied that the Republican Party is a secret terrorist sleeper cell dedicated to grinding America to a halt.  Boehner was responding to a video that purportedly showed a high ranking Al Qaeda leader, Abu Al Bashwiri thanking Republicans for “bringing the Great Satan, America to its knees as Allah had commanded them to do.”

The video, which was aired on Al Jazeera TV, showed Al Bashwiri praising the “Tea Party martyrs for successfully infiltrating the Republican Party and making good on their promise to Allah to grind to a halt the evil beast that is America.  Our Tea Party brothers in arms are going to succeed not only in shutting down a few airports, but they will close the whole thing down.”

That video is way off the mark,” said Speaker Boehner, “we are not shutting down the government because of Allah.  We are shutting down the government because of Barack Obama.”

Senator Ted Cruz, R-TX said that he is willing to counter the Al Bashwiri video with a non-stop speech in which he promised to read the entire Dr. Seuss catalogue from A to Way Beyond Zebra.

A government shutdown looms Monday night at midnight if Congress cannot agree on a budget.  Also in the wings is a showdown promised by Republicans, who have threatened to block a raise in the debt ceiling unless the Obamacare is repealed and deep cuts to entitlement programs and taxes on the rich are made.

President Obama said today that he will not negotiate with terrorists, a comment that seemed to support the Al Qaeda video that claimed that the GOP and Tea Party are really secret terrorist cells.

Some experts believe that the Republican Party may not really be a terrorist organization after all, stating that the GOP’s extreme behavior may have been brought about by the passage of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, which has made them come unhinged, unglued and very unstable.   For example, just yesterday, Michele Bachmann, R- Minn said, “Americans will get health care over my dead body,”  while Representative Louie Gohmert, R-TX said, “Obamacare is worse than Pearl Harbor, 9-11, the death of Dale Earnhardt, the South losing the War and Original Sin all rolled into one.”
