Of Lice and Men aka The Body Politic
The premise that conservatives and liberals are different has been forcefully laid out in the past by scholars like….well, like me. In a fine analogy to the human body, conservatives would be the brains and liberals would be the heart. When the brain and heart are in equilibrium and synchronization the body is fit and prosperous. When they are not, the body Americana suffers.
Case in point. Lice. When the body is plagued with a virulent case of lice, the brain says to kill them all and let God sort them out. Whereas the heart worries and pines for the little buggers, for they are all God’s cheeldruns. However, the heart knows the lice must go, and so finds no overbearing conflict with the brain. Resolution occurs and the lice are nuked.
However, in the sick body, the brain orders out the bombers, but the heart starts skipping arhythmically and sends signals that the vermin must stay. Not only must they stay, but they must be nurtured and protected so that they may be strong to infest other bodies. As the body nears the point of death by lice infection, the heart settles down, looks around, and wonders how the body got into the shape it’s in. At this point, most probably, the brain will overrule the weak heart, cast out the plague lice, and the body will regain vigor. The strengthend heart, having forgotten the recent past will begin anew, this time quite possibly with retched scabies, having invited the horrid creatures in through a loophole.
The lesson here is that the brain must be ever vigiliant, for if the heart prevails totally, the body will die a slow, horrible, painful death. The brain must remember what the heart forgets.
Alabama Republican Party? Where they at?
For my money, I’m betting on Rush Limbaugh. Over the years, off and on, I have attempted to seek out the Grand Old Alabama Republican Party for leadership and guidance. Each time if I found them I wasn’t impressed, and sometimes I just couldn’t find them. Try it yourself. Get on Google and get ready to be amazed with the lack of Republicans in Alabama.
Ladies and gentlemen, and I use that term loosely, because practically nobody ever reads this blog….Let us get REAL about our Alabama Republican Party. In my estimation, they are constituted mostly so as to send themselves to the the real potty…and that’s the national nominating convention party. After all, Tennessee or Georgia can’t send the Alabama delegation to party…The Alabama Republicans must send the delegation (themselves, I guess) to the real big party.
Let NO democrat EVER say that the Republicans don’t know how to party! They like to party so much that they formed a club with the sole mission of sending itself to party!
For my life I can’t see one other thing they do in Alabama. If they are doing something, it is either so secret that no one must know, or they need to hire someone…even a 6th grader who knows something…anything…about publicity. It ain’t rocket science.
I know this. The time for a strong Republican party on the right side of the ticket has never been more necessary than now. More, there has never been a better time to be a hell raisin’ Republican. The democrats continue to give us boxcar and train and boatloads of stuff to blow their sorry behinds right out of the water…daily! It never ends. But where are the Republicans? Hmmn? Polishing their confetti, perhaps?
