Here is a wonderful letter to the Portsmouth Daily Herald, from a Ms. Sally Biddle of New Castle which says it all, a distillation of Fox News and the Thunder from the Right in nearly pure form, a specimen representative of the species. Ms. Biddle suggests a cartoon be created to run in the Herald elucidating what the Democrats want and what their victory means.
Mad Dog has taken the liberty of adding numbers to the text, so we do not miss anything.
"Let's be fair and picture the Donkey saying 'If You Vote For Us.'
1. We'll pardon the illegals,
2. give free condoms and abortions to women,
3. a college tuition discount
4. and we'll tax the rich so much employers won't be able to afford to hire
5. or pay the increase in health insurance,
6. employees will have to be laid off or become part -timers.
7. We'll make sure unions can't fire you even if you do a poor job,
8. and make sure Republican members contribute toward our campaigns so unions can provide perks like free facials etc.
9. Companies might go into bankruptcy, maybe no more Twinkies,
10. but hey, the government will make sure you don't even have to try finding a job.
11. Oh yes, who cares if most of the doctors leave their profession because of "Obamacare"
12. and Social Security and Medicare go bankrupt.
13. When the government runs out of money, run into streets, protest, riot, fight and scream, just like they are in Greece and other countries.
14. Remember, the government will take care of you!'"

It's all there, in one letter.
Mad Dog will chew on this for a while. We can all work on deconstructing it, teasing each malevolent little morsel out, masticating, savoring each bitter flavor.
Can you imagine what this woman's living room looks like?
Mad Dog,
ReplyDeleteSally is certainly comprehensive in her litany of Democratic evils isn't she. I think your numbering of them was a great idea-- you're right, there are so many you wouldn't want to miss one. I was thinking that you are a very talented cartoonist Mad Dog, perhaps you could offer to illustrate Miss Sally's fine letter-it would be so generous and open minded of you..
As for her living room, let's just pray she's alone in it and doesn't have some poor liberal sucker tied to a bed..( move over Kathy Bates..here's Sally!)

Maud,
ReplyDeleteOh, we hardly know ye.
Your mind is, to paraphrase Emily Dickinson, that thing in your soul with feathers.
