My Native-American name, from now on, is "Molests Your Poodle." You see, I have recently discovered that I am American Indian -- Cherokee, to be precise.
How did I come to know that I had this wonderful new heritage? Simple: I read Ben Quigly's article about Elizabeth Warren (who is running for the Senate in Massachusetts), in which he defends her claim to be of Cherokee heritage.
Ben produces no evidence that Ms. Warren actually does have Cherokee blood in her veins. In fact, he seems to concede she has none. However, he states that in some metaphysical way, that we are all Cherokee. So, since we are all included in that group, her claim to be Cherokee was in no way intended to be a ruse. It was never intended to gain her political favor and perks in acadamia and other venues, prior to her run for office. It was merely that she intuitively understood that every single person alive is an American Indian.... metaphysically, if not in fact.
Does this not perfectly capture the rationale of the common liberal? If the facts go against you, claim that your case is sound anyways and wave your arms wildly, conjuring images of 'spirits' or 'code words' or 'dog whistles' or 'institutional racism'.
When the facts show that George Zimmerman was viciously attacked by Trayvon Martin, ignore this evidence, press on with the case, and talk about 'institutional racism'.
When the facts show that Obama is a none-too-closeted America-despising Socialist, ignore the evidence and speak of 'dog whistle racism' and 'code words'.
And when your candidate for Senate in Massachusetts has been shown to be an outright liar about her heritage, so that she may receive perks and career enhancements reserved for people actually of that heritage, ignore the facts and preach that it "is not so much a lie as it is the acculturation of personal and regional American myth."
Facts are unimportant to a true-believing liberal. Rationality the first discarded of the luggage they carry.
So, in honor of this absolutely bizarre twisting of reality to conform to a liberal need to adhere to a lie, I would like to honor Ben Quigley with his Native American name: "Lap Poodle of Liberals".
And I am to be known as "Molests Your Poodle".
Sorry, that name has been taken...........
Please add me!............
I can sum up this entire article in one sentence.
“Fake, but accurate.”
I am absolutely prolific these days. Hope you like this latest one. :)
Free Republic original contentI like it. Better than "vanity".
I figured your Native name would be “He Hits It”.
We need these threads every so often...
Actually, there are differences these days. There's a category meant for Free Republic editorial and news work, called FreeperEd in the tags portion of a new post.
It's meant for decent quality editorial work. We are all hoping that FR can eventually become a source of original content in news reporting and/or editorial work that will match such places as Red State or Fox News or any of the myriad of other sites.
It's an initiative, hopefully to quality. Vanities will still be out there, but hopefully only good work will stay in FreeperEd.
My Cherokee name means:
“Democrats are the enemies of freedom”
Still a satisfied customer.
95 Satisfied Customers!™
Material lacking in quality will be moved to a different category.. "SpecialEd".
LOL! Nice!
Your ability to disturbingly “bring it” is exquisite and admirable.
I never thought that we ALL could be Cherokees. Hmmm.... I do like soft leather bedroom slippers. Sort of like moccasins?
