Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been posting much lately. That’s because I realized that i had been talking too much. I was talking a lot but wasn’t really saying anything. That’s something that is never good for a fictional spirit-guide.
On the plus side, at least in my opinion, I’ve been using my “quiet time†to more closely observe the DUmmies.
For the sake of accuracy anytime the word “DUmmies†is used it can be (and perhaps should be) read as “liberalsâ€.
During my observation I have come to the conclusion that I owe a huge and heartfelt apology to the DUmmies. Let me attempt to explain…
For the last 15 years I’ve blamed every ill in the world on the DUmmies. If someone complained about unemployment I’d tell them to thank the DUmmies. If someone fretted over the growth of terrorists I’d tell them the DUmmies were the fault. Bad economy? Blame the DUmmies. Riots? Blame the DUmmies. The list could go on forever, but I think you get the idea.
After silently observing the DUmmies these past few weeks I’ve decided that I’ve been completely wrong all of this time. The DUmmies are NOT the cause of all of our ills. The fault falls totally and entirely at the feet of conservatives so I offer the DUmmies my humblest of apologies for blaming you for so long.
Now I know that some (maybe even many) of you here at the Cave are wondering why I’m blaming you for the country’s problems. To be clear, I’m not just blaming you. I’m also blaming myself. As a conservative, I’m part of the problem. I’m coming clean because we can’t solve the problem until we recognize the problem.
I’m sure some of you are scratching your heads wondering if I’ve spent too much time partying with Blackie the Ghost Chicken. I assure you that I have not. Let me offer an example that will perhaps help you understand how I got from point “A†to point “B†in my thinking…
You, an adult, have a nice car. You pull into a driveway and get out of the car. You have the keys in your hand. A three year old child rides up to you on his tricycle and asks to drive your car. When you tell him “no†he begins to pitch a fit. To cry and scream and call you names such as “meanieâ€. Finally, in order to quieten him and convince yourself that you’re not a “meanie†you hand him your car keys.
With car keys in hand, the three-year old child gleefully climbs into your car and immediately crashes into a power pole. The crash destroys the car and breaks the power pole. The sparks from the downed powerlines starts a fire which causes the neighborhood to catch fire.
Who is at fault here? Surely not the three-year old. He was just being a three-year old. You, on the other hand, are an adult. You knew that he didn’t have the mental or physical capacity to safely drive your car, but you gave him the keys anyway. You are clearly, and without any doubt, ultimately at fault.
The same can be said when it comes to our country. We know, based on past history, that the DUmmies do not have the mental or physical capacity to safely run the country. When we attempt to withhold the car keys from them they pitch a fit and call us “homophobesâ€, “sexistsâ€, “racistsâ€, “xenophobesâ€, and any other of number of names. In order to quieten their fit and convince ourselves and others that we are none of those slurs that they throw about we hand them the keys thinking it will be okay just this once, and every single time, just like Lucy, Charlie Brown, and the football, we find out that it’s not okay just this once. We find out that a DUmmie is always going to be that three-year old so we MUST, regardless of the heat we receive, always be the adult.
Until such time that we, as conservatives, stand together as adults and refuse to give in to the squalling of the three year-olds the country will continue to suffer.
