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".
“I wish I could come up with a cool “Indian sounding” name...”
I think I need some caffeine because it took me a moment. Then I read your name... totally cool, Rides a Red Horse!!
Yeah, I’m a smart aleck.
You are an innovator! Just think of it... you had an Indian sounding name way before most of us did! You started the trend!!
True, but my name is from Revelation Chap 6!
The motto for my rule: Better living through obedience and beer.
Kudos! Thank you so much for your wonderful essay, dear Lazamataz!

Are iPads designed to double-post? Just damn.
Not sure but after inheriting one from the daughter unit and a trip through the ap store, I see they are quite efficient in separating one with small denominations of cash...repeatedly....
Apple is the devil.....and the Ipad is it’s tool.
momtothree is a woman, not a chap.
But I want to be chap #7 anyways!
In a metaphysical, arm-wavy, mythical kind of way.
At least it was ‘superior’ ..... not ‘flakey, flighty’ or something like that! :-)
But I want to be chap #7 anyways!
I thought you were Bat Man!
But if you’re Bat Man, whose on first?
I DON’T KNOW!!!
