A Scenario

I was advised that this scenario would not be entertained on anywhere else. The member that I discussed it with couldn’t, or wouldn’t explain why. I was just trying to understand the great disparity between the goals of Free Republic at the About Free Republic webpage and all the policies of Free Republic that are diametrically opposed to the goals.

This very expressive, dedicated Christian conservative member became decreasingly communicative with every attempt of mine, to simply understand the enigmatic aspects of that political website. All communication of this nature ceased when I suggested that the site change its name to Alice’s Republic; because it is an adventure in Wonderland, with all its colorful cast of characters there.

As I was checking out of the rabbit hole, I heard a faint voice from Hotel California, a cowering soul, mumbling what sounded like “Free Republic.” I didn’t catch the screen name of the captive free spirit; but the Red Queen did. And, you know, “Off with his head;” just like Lewis Carroll said. So, they are playing strictly by that surrealistic script in their “Theater of the Absurd.”

This hypothetical is for the sole sake of discussion at Free Republic. It wishes no harm to anyone. It must have been imagined by others, though I haven’t seen anything like it. But something similar must have occurred to many others.

This is not a wish, hope, or dream, or anything like that. It’s just to probe the thoughts of thinkers. And in the current state of political affairs, it seems that anything is thinkable, but the right thing. There seems to be a national aversion to the right thing, coupled with a natural inclination to the wrong things – two of which are running for Tyrant in Chief.

This hypothetical concerns that bipartisan race, between a pair of horses, one of which is two-faced. It may be better to call them thoroughly bad, than thoroughly bred. We don’t want to give thoroughbreds or any horse a bad name; even though horses and those two racers are full of the same. Makes you want to sign-up to kill crazies in the Mid-East, just to get away from the stench of those two beasts. If not, you must be part of the REVOLution, and in a quandary about where to flee for your life and liberty, with your property in tow and hopes of happiness all aglow.

Anyway, both horses, one white & one black, move into the starting gate. There is a good crowd in attendance. The white horse is considerably older than the black horse; and is subject to expiring at any moment. Well, it does in the starting gate. Here one minute and gone the next. It’s possible, isn’t it? Life happens and so does death. And for sole sake of discussion, assume that old white horse had heart failure from too much primary race stress. (This is just for sake of discussion; with nothing but the very best of wishes to all animals. It’s just a harmless analogy used only for purposes of illustration. No member of the animal kingdom is in danger here.)

Everyone wants to see a race every four years; but there must be a protracted funeral procession first. And this extended time gives the owners of the black horse opportunity to think, while the white horse fans attend to funeral duties.

Both owners have lengthy discussions during and after the funeral; and reach a tentative agreement that must be presented to the white horse fans prior to proceeding as agreed. The black horse will run under the colors of the white horse against an old white mare running under the former colors of the black horse. Put another way, the black horse only changed running colors, nothing else.

In times past, this would have been outrageous; but times are a changin.’ And change is all anyone has, or wants, provided it’s only change of pace maintained in the wrong direction.

The young, galloping black horse recently beat the old, loping white mare. So, the white horse fans with the new black horse have a proven winner! And all they ever cared about was winning. It didn’t matter how they did it; because they had a very big tent to please. The black horse fans get to see their old white mare lope again, under their own colors; and regardless of which horse wins, they win. So, it’s a win-win situation for the black horse fans. Will the white horse fans take the magnanimous offer and cheer for their new black horse on race day?

Do you think Free Ripublic, J. Dobson, Rod Parsley, John Hagee, both Limbaughs, Annie Coulter, P.J. Buchannan, Eagle Forum, Human Events, NewsMax, Gary Bauer, Washington Times, Fox News, Weekly Standard, Pat Robertson, Mike Huckabee, Wall Street Journal, National Review, First Things, Christian Science Monitor, Southern Baptists, Northern Methodists, Eastern Catholics and Californian crazies would cheer Obama to victory? The correct, unqualified, unequivocal, answer is obvious, isn’t it? Its saliency slaps you in the face with a liberal dose of bone-chilling reality, in a way you’ll never forget.

They are all in it to win it, no matter what. Like Dobson said, they can change their Collective Mind in midstream. But…there’s that notorious word again, “BUT!” Seems the GOP invented it: “I’m pro-life; but….” Substitute whatever Constitutional text you want for the term “pro-life” and you get the same phrase, ad infinitum, ad nauseam. So, there may be a slight problem with the otherwise obvious outcome of this scenario. It could be the deal breaker – the proverbial last straw on the ungracefully aged Pachyderm’s back.

Have you already guessed it and beat the agonizingly slow hunt-&-peck typing to the all too obvious punch line? If you are a political junkie, you knew the answer from the start. In fact, you recognized the scenario at first mention of the word. But, political novices need a reminding clue of the prominent, defining characteristic mentioned in the opening description of the race horses. The Republican Party faithful would notice it at first glance, while looking the “gift horse in the mouth.” Obama has only one face; and the Party faithful always demanded two! What would you do?

What are they going to do? “What would the brilliant Rove do?” Grow him a conservative face, just for the race!

That’s the hypothetical presented with no harm intended to any party animal, or anyone’s political hyper-sensitivities; and well wishes to all, but contra-revolutionaries.

My Scenario

Dearest Areopagus

Congratulations to Miss Areopagus I for saying that we ought to worship salacious, obtrusive succubi as folk heroes. That surely wins the prize for being the most nugatory and lousy thing I've ever heard. Although my approach may appear a bit pedantic, by setting some generative point of view against a structural-taxonomical point of view or vice versa, I intend to argue that I would be grateful if she would take a little time from her rigorous schedule to give peace a chance. Of course, pigs will grow wings and fly before that ever happens. In spite of the fact that Areopagus uses isolated incidents to make unruly, all-encompassing claims about her adversaries, it's easy enough to hate her any day of the week on general principles. But now I'll tell you about some very specific things that she is up to, things that ought to make a real Areopagus-hater out of you. First off, she presents herself as a disinterested classicist lamenting the infusion of politically motivated methods of pedagogy and analysis into higher education. Areopagus is eloquent in her denunciation of modern scholarship, claiming it favors disgraceful degenerates (especially the daft type). And here we have the ultimate irony because Areopagus maliciously defames and damagingly misrepresents everyone and everything around her. There's a word for that: libel.

Bumptious, uncivilized tax cheats can go right ahead and convict me for saying that Areopagus should put her own house in order before she tells others what to do, but History, acting as the goddess of a higher truth and a higher justice, will one day smilingly tear up this verdict, acquitting me of all guilt and blame. I believe it was Hegel who said, "Her constant whining and yammering is a background noise that never seems to go away". If you can go more than a minute without hearing her talk about animalism, you're either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial. Giving Areopagus the means to bribe the parasitic with the earnings of the productive is like supplying the gun to your own robber. Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but you get the drift. The interesting point is this: As that last sentence suggests, she argues that her debauches are the result of a high-minded urge to do sociological research. To maintain this thesis, Areopagus naturally has had to shovel away a mountain of evidence, which she does by the desperate expedient of claiming that no one is smart enough to see through her transparent lies.

Areopagus's apothegms are based on hate. Hate, recidivism, and an intolerance of another viewpoint, another way of life. What is Areopagus's current objective? As usual, there are multiple objectives:

to accelerate our descent into the cesspool of interdenominationalism, to abrogate some of our most fundamental freedoms, and to turn the trickle of Stalinism into a tidal wave. Areopagus's Pecksniffian, unregenerate adages often resemble an inverted fairy tale in that the triumph of innocence comes at the start and the ugly sisters of snobbism and gnosticism enter on stage in triumph for the final curtain. I don't want to make any hard and final judgments, but some people don't seem to mind that Areopagus likes to reduce human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. What an ethically bankrupt world we live in! Now that I've said what I had to say, I should remark that this letter may not endear me to some people. Indeed, it may even cost me a friend or two. However, friends do not let friends get trampled by unrestrained, wild schizophrenics like Miss Areopagus I. The truth is the truth and we pay a steep price whenever we ignore it.

It was from one of the rant creator tools the troll used to create the original post and the response.

Comment:

You folks are really sharp and must always be diligent to catch these trolls.

I was glad you didn't give the ignoramus a zot.

If this guy or gal was using a creator then he or she got duped but then again, when you deal with airhead liberals anything fake but accurate is possible.

Reading this rant was a clear tick off that this person was a lower than camel dung Obama supporter “Just Words”

Thanks again for giving us Dollar a Day Club guys and gals an opportunity to wet our whistle having fun by t-ing off on these Obama frauds.
