“If You Kids Don’t Stop Fighting I’m Going To Turn This Nation Around!

A Democrat congressman from Missouri, tired of all that dissent, wants Congress to just shut up and quit its beefing.  Emanuel Deaver is asking his fellow congresscritters to join him in sponsoritng a Concurrent Resolution to bar “complaining” :

From time to time, we all experience anxiety, frustration, stress, and regret.

One certainly imagines that Deaver, looking at the Dems’ polls and the turnout at the Tea Parties, is experiencing all of the above.

But I digress:

And often, we respond to these feelings with a criticism or a complaint. Regrettably, complaining keeps people stuck on current problems, inhibiting them from thinking constructively to find solutions.

Like, and I’m going to go out on a limb here, “hope and change”?

Research has also shown that complaining can be harmful to one’s emotional and physical health; relationships; and can limit professional career success.

From the poster – Breitbart’s “Capitol Observer”:

We are torn on the larger question of whether Congress should even be wasting any time on such silliness as “official” days for this or that. On the one hand, it is surely a waste of taxpayer money and a decidedly unserious response to our challenges. On the other, though, every moment spent on things like this is a moment that isn’t spent re-regulating huge swaths of the economy.

We do know one thing, though: The Age of Pericles this ain’t.

Nope.  It’s the age of Mom.
