“Synonym Discussion of INANE: insipid, vapid, flat, jejune, banal, inane mean devoid of
qualities that make for spirit and character. insipid implies
a lack of sufficient taste or savor to please or interest <an insipidromance
with platitudes on every page>. vapid suggests a lack
of liveliness, force or spirit <an exciting story given a vapidtreatment>. flat applies to
things that have lost their sparkle or zest <although well-regarded
in its day, the novel now seems flat>. jejune suggests

gassy speech>. banal stresses the
complete absence of freshness, novelty, or immediacy <a banaltale
of unrequited love>. inane implies a lack

There is just no better choice of
words to describe what is taking place on the floor of the House of Congress
than inane. To watch a major bunch of
elected representatives opt for the chance of approval through the use of theatrics
is a major waste of our money and their time.
This all appears very important, very caring and morally superior until
you understand it is all in the name of creating that perception. Adhering to the progressive idiom “let no
serious crisis ‘. The Democrats staging
a full press filibuster is one of the best examples of inane, and we’ve had
many examples out of that bunch yet.
Insanity might be another
appropriate description of their activity, “to repeat the same action over and
over while expecting a different result”. They are wasting our congressional time to
vote on the same bill, one rejected by both sides of the Senate last week. Both mom and dad, red and blue, said no to
this so there is nothing left for these petulant little brats to do but lay on
the floor kicking and screaming without sense.
That activity is not a legitimate or even serious attempt to halt the atrocities
such as the Orlando massacre, but is an attempt to gain more power going into
the November elections. The members on
the left side of the Congressional aisle know there is no validity to their
theatrics, but they also know there is a vast portion of our population who will
block out reason with the earplugs of emotion.
The Senate did not abdicate their
responsibility in rejecting the four gun control bills presented, as none of
the four would have prevented any of the torrents of killings that have taken
place in our country over the last decade and a half. We need to find a way to stop massacres, so
instead of wasting our time, why not be constructive. There is enough mutual sentiment within the
walls of the governing bodies to make realistic gains in the protection of our
people. Kicking and screaming in support
of nonsense is not an answer, it is an insult to the society at large.
Our rights under the second amendment need to be protected, as well as the right to not being unjustly accused of the crime of being on the no fly list. Not that hard of a compromise to reach.
