Congressman Jason Chaffetz seems one step closer to becoming speaker of the U.S. House. Interesting. Dangerous. He sits like a hen on unfertilized Benghazi eggs for months­ — even years­ — still waiting for incriminating chicks to hatch when other hens have long since surrendered to reality.

Chaffetz: You shout tea party rebellion and promote an end to federal government, yet you espouse patriotism? You cannot have it both ways.

"No compromise" is your ideology at your own admittance. The Donald Trump hubris hairdo does not work well on you. Your natural curl is more difficult to comb over big-headedness.

You are the federal government. You know, that entity you hate? Act responsibly. You are not America's salvation, nor do you represent the majority.

Please go back to sitting on those sterile Benghazi eggs and leave this wonderful nation to those who want to be productive.
