‘THE BONES OF PATRIOTS PAST’ (Or, ‘THE SOCIALISTS WHO CRIED CONSERVATIVE’)

Back on Wednesday, July 29, 2009, I posted a blog bit titled #1 RULE OF POLITICS. It was filled with truth, but it was also very lengthy. It opened with a parable I had written which I have decided to publish as a stand-alone blog bit, minus all the other lengthy truth that followed it in its original form.

I realize that the parable seems annoyingly repetitive, but that’s actually part of the point it is making. If you hang in there long enough, you will discover that like ALL Merry-Go-Rounds, it too will eventually stop.

Here you go, my parable about ‘Political Reality, U.S.A.’

THE BONES OF PATRIOTS PAST
(Or, ‘The Socialists Who Cried Conservative’)

Once upon a time, there was a number of conservative Americans. When the conservative people saw how Socialists (read: “Marxists”) calling themselves “Democrats” or “Liberals” had stolen their liberties guaranteed to them by the Bill of Rights and, like dogs, had pissed all over the U.S. Constitution, they knew something had to be done.

Then a group of politicians calling themselves “Republicans” said, “We have seen the destruction done by the Democrats. Like you, we are political conservatives, and if you vote us into authority, we will reverse the damage done by the Democrats. We will reduce the size of government, we'll cut federal spending, and we'll return your individual rights to you and honor your individual state’s right to govern itself.” And the Republican media pundits said, “Yes! Protect the Constitution by voting Republican, and things will improve!”

So, the conservative people voted Republicans into power. And the Republicans stole the liberties guaranteed to The People by the Bill of Rights and, like dogs, they pissed all over the U.S. Constitution.

So, in the next election, the majority of people voted the Republicans out and the Democrats back in. And the Democrats stole the liberties guaranteed to The People by the Bill of Rights and, like dogs, they pissed all over the U.S. Constitution. The conservative Americans knew something had to be done.

Then the group of politicians calling themselves “Republicans” said, “We agree with you conservative Americans. If you vote us into authority, we will undo what the Democrats have done. We'll reduce the size of government, cut federal spending, return your individual rights to you and honor your individual state’s right to govern itself.” And the Republican media pundits said, “Yes! Protect the Constitution by voting Republican, and things will improve!”

So, the conservatives voted the Republicans back in again. And the Republicans stole the liberties guaranteed to The People by the Bill of Rights and, like dogs, they pissed all over the U.S. Constitution.

So, a majority of The People became disgusted and brought the Democrats back into power, and the Democrats stole the liberties guaranteed to The People by the Bill of Rights and, like dogs, they pissed all over the U.S. Constitution. The conservative Americans were angry and they said, “Doggone it! Something MUST be done about this terrible situation. Our country is being destroyed!”

And the group of politicians calling themselves “Republicans” said, “We agree with you conservative Americans. If you vote us into authority, we will undo what the Democrats have done. We'll reduce the size of government, cut federal spending, return your individual rights to you and honor your individual state’s right to govern itself.” And the Republican media pundits said, “Yes! Protect the Constitution by voting Republican, and things will improve!”

And the conservative Americans dug up the graves of George Mason and Thomas Jefferson and they beat the Republican politicians and the Republican media pundits to death with the bones of patriots past.

The moral of this story is: Beware of Socialists in Republican clothing.
