"Behold, A God Gone Mad!"

Caligula, beloved son of the popular Roman General Germanicus, returned from his exile to the island of Capri ,where  he stayed  with the Emperor Tiberius, to a hero's welcome. The much hated Tiberius , now gravely ill, was all but forgotten by the Roman people. Germanicus , beloved General , and father to Caligula, had fallen in battle , and now the Roman people called for his son, ...to be their next Emperor. Young , charismatic, with a bright, outgoing, positive personality, he seemed the perfect choice save the Roman Empire , and lift it out of darkness imposed by the iron handed , cruel Tiberius. But , there was a darker side to young Gaius, who bore the nickname Caligula. Yes , the man who would save Rome, had a dark side , that would be brought to the surface in the wake of his life threatening illness. And, the years after his recovery, would become ever darker , , and more twisted than the year before. His atrocities,..many, his perversions, always shocking. Rome was being ruled by a  madman, who apparently had even out stripped Tiberius for cruelty and sadistic unpredictability, which was often unleashed on his Senators and Generals. Yet, for much of his reign , the Roman people themselves, still viewed him favorably. They did not see much of the murderous madness that was being unleashed upon the Roman ruling class. No, all they saw was the generous entitlements unleashed upon them , all at the expense of  the upper class , for which Emperor Caligula had nothing but contempt.But for the citizens of Rome , there was nothing but Bread and Circuses, as Caligula fed the mindless masses what they wanted ;..endless entertainment spectacles , sporting events in the Colosseum ,and an endless bounty of feasts and banquets , all at the expense of the Emperors much hated Senators and ruling class. However , despite his eccentricities , and flashes of madness, Caligula survived , for as long as he did, for one reason;..the military, his army, and more specifically ,..his Praetorian guard , which served as  the personal bodyguard to the Emperor, guarding him against enemies , both foreign , and domestic. The Army's support and loyalty, to the Emperor, even this one, was unwaivering , and served to keep tyrants in power, perhaps longer than they should have been.After a time, Caligula grew even more bold and unstable , believing he could , in effect get away with anything. Anything? Well, with perhaps, one exception;..calling a gathering of his Senators and Generals, Emperor Caligula declared himself a god, and his favorite horse ,...a Senator, even going so far as to remove the heads from the statues of the gods , and have them replaced,..with his image. Also his horse was to be given the full benefits and privileges of other Senators.Both Senatorial elite and Military elite were equally offended,..and angered. Add to this a military campaign to the sea, to do battle with the sea god Neptune,....and a breaking point had been reached. The Roman people's boy tyrant had finally gone too far.
Incest, murders , and other perversions apparently, could be tolerated, but declaring oneself a god, and your horse a Senator , was a mockery of both the Military and Senate alike. No more would be tolerated. Emperor Caligula, while attending one of his arena spectacles, was dispatched with extreme predjudice,..by his own Praetorian guard.An Emperor , as a god, and a horse , as a senator,..was the final perversion that had pushed the Roman people too far. Caligula had dared mock the status and position of those who kept him in power.
And now,........centuries later,in the New Rome,..America, ..there hath come a new Emperor, a new Boy Tyrant;... a  new hero, who swept into office , hailed as a conquering hero , who would heal our ravished planet, calm our rising oceans , and bring peace , love, and unity , to all nations around the globe, and end the wars and rancor that were created by the insensitive cowboy agression of the George Bush regime, a regime that made the nations of the world hate us , because of our unwarranted military attacks and invasions upon their soil.
Hope  and Change was  the slogan this new Emperor rode right into White  House . A bright new day for America was his  promise, for he had all the solutions. Instead, what transpired during the five years of this man's reign was racial division , massive tax , regulation , entitlement , and spending increases, a weakening of our military , and an appeasement strategem of weakness , in dealing  with our enemies, both at home, and abroad. In his five years in office , this Caligula 's atrocities have also been many and varied , but his crowning achievement ,his masterpiece of madness, was undoubtedly a massive bundle of nonsensicle  Healthcare fraud, and far reaching taxes and regulations called, with dripping irony and mockery, the Affordable Health Care Act;..and later , more aptly named,..simply,..Obamacare.
To this Caligula , Obamacare was all things, all the things he had dreamed of,. and all the things that his Marxist father had dreamed of. Obamacare would solve all things, all problems. Once implemented, under the facade of universal medical coverage, it would simply bankrupt, and ultimately, destroy our  this nation ,..this United States, that had oppressed and looted, and subjugated other nations in order to achieve its greatness . Once in full effect, no part of the free market would be safe from the power of this Caligula's government All things would be taxed and regulated , according to his will, and the will of the Federal Goverment. America, would finally be punished for its sins. America would finally be diminished in the eyes of the world , and, America ,..would finally be equal with other Nations , and the dreams of this Emperors Father would finally be realized. The Nations of the world would now be able to rise up, and grow ,..now that Obamacare had destroyed the Great Satan ,...the Great oppressor;...America.
And, this Emperor 's Senators were still staunchly behind him and would ensure that this law would indeed be passed. But, there was the congress, under the control of the Emperor's enemies , who now rose up , under the leadership of rebel conspirators , such as Senators Cruz, Lee, Rubio , and Paul. They said,"no more".Obamacare must be destroyed;..by defunding, delaying, exemption, or made optional , rather than mandatory. Whatever the deal reached, , the bottom line was the fact that Congress would not increase the debt limit without a deal to stop Obamacare . There would be a government shutdown . Congress holds the purse strings . There would be no more money ,..for anything , if Obamacare was not dealt with. No more spending, no more new legislation, imposed by the Emperor, to bring new and improved taxes to the American people. The congress held fast, stood strong, and refused to give in to the demands of the Emperor.It was then , that ,the Emperor and his minions ;.....all went mad!
The Emperor's rage and fury over this bold defiance of his imperial power. So then, the Emperor unleashed all hell upon his subjects. All things would be closed ;..monuments, memorials, , homes , landmarks ;..all symbols of America ;..all symbols of America's Heritage would be punished. and, in addition, the American people would be punished too, for the defiance of the Republicans. The shutdowns would continue . The punishment of the hated America and it's Institutions would continue ,..all under the Emperors orders , as even Guards , Police, and State Park officials , were instructed to punish the American people , by denying them access to their heritage ;..to all things America.
Still, like with Caligula before him, ..the atrocities seemed to be to some degree , and blamed on the Emperor's enemies, to a greater, or lesser , degree, depending on which poll you consult. Then,...came that moment, that final straw, when this new Caligula commited the final outrage , in fact his most outrageous moment. Our fallen troops , troops that were under the direct command of this new Emperor, were denied their death benefit payments;..payments that went to support his fallen soldier's families. The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces would now be so petty , in the grip of an infantile madness, ;..to now refuse to pay benefits to the families of the soldiers who had fought and died for him , and the American people. And, now, that the outrage over this latest shutdown had reached a boiling point, the Emperor had a change of heart, similar to when the Republican Congress passed a bill to make sure America's living troops and veterans, got paid. The President and Senator Harry Reid  dared not deny this so-called 'piecemeal" spending bill . But then, the Emperor , once again, in the grip of socialist madness, hardened his heart and , refused to pay the families of his fallen soldiers. Forget Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, ..he takes his orders , on these matters , from the commander in chief.
The Republicans, who dared defy him, must be punished;.... punished for not increasing the debt limit , without Obamacare deals, punished for daring to try to destroy his masterpiece of destruction called Obamacare.
This Emperor,..called Obama, after five long years of madness and atrocities against citizens , House, and Senate alike, now had finally reached his Senate horse moment, , centuries after the fall of his predecessor in tyranny, Caligula. He had dared deny the troops who kept him in power . He had dared mock their service to him, and to our country, by denying their families, their rightful compensation.
And, all the while , the Emperors Golf Course remains open, and an illegal immigrant rally is organized , by the White House,and House Minority Leader  Nancy Pelosi,   a mere stone's throw from the WWII memorial, the very memorial that was shut down , to legal,law abiding citizens, who sacrificed for this country, instead of whining and demanding entitlements , that they, as illegal slackers , do not deserve.
Yes , the Emperor and his minions would go on with their, "Punish America", agenda , as indeed the Shut down would go on, since the Republican Congress will not budge before this tyrant's threats. But now, none of this matters . This new Caligula, has committed his final outrage , he has , in effect, declared himself a God ,..and his horse ,...a Senator, ..by his actions against his troops. And, for this sin, and the sin of a fake Health care system designed , to tax America .....out of existence. He has finally gone too far,. and now, no doubt, the outrage over this offense against out troops by this new Caligula, Barack Hussein Obama, the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States , will be far reaching ,...both to the American public , and the House and Senate as well.
For, a President of the United States , or a Roman Emperor , who declares himself a god, will not be tolerated;...not  during the days of the Roman Empire, or during the days of the Obama Regime. The 2014 Midterm elections will demonstrate this, as a our self styled god , gone mad , is finally stripped of his power, by a Republican Cngress , and Senate , who have grown weary of his mockery.
