Reply #11: Good early morning, kind lady. You're right. The flying monkeys have two things in common.

[Fly by night]

They know almost nothing except what is fed to them through the borg-wire at Fox News.

And they are cowards.

I'm glad to know you feel I kept my cool. If I only could, I would reach my big farmer's fist through the internets and strangle them with it. In fact, when another FM chimed in with more last-minute insults on that PITH thread, here was the interaction:

FM: Next we'll be hearing that Republicans enrolled zombies and vampires to achieve their nefarious goals in stuffing the ballot box. And how Karl Rove personally oversaw coordinated the legions of white, rich people who lined up to put it to the poor and disadvantaged. Reading about some people's paranoid delusions is most excellent fun!


FBN: It is not paranoia to agree with 90%+ of Americans who know that, in order to protect and defend this country, we MUST have elections that are free, fair (fast, cheap) and verifiable. I stopped wondering a long time ago why TN Republicans (apparently part of the <10% who somehow have wrested control of our ship of state) do not share that belief. Three words, flying monkey: motive, means, opportunity.

It is also not paranoia for you, Gilbo, Marky-Mark, "Too Tall" Tre Hargett, Mark "Human Error" Goins and your ilk to keep looking over your shoulders. That is indeed the Arc of History closing fast behind you, with Lady Liberty riding shotgun (and She's packing some serious heat).

From where I sit, it also looks like Jesus has joined them in the back seat. He's rapidly rewriting the scriptures to replace "turn the other cheek" with "administer a serious ass-whuppin' in My Father's name." We're long overdue for that update, and it's coming in the nick of time. Thank you, Jesus!

With reich-wing, Mother-fracking, (s)elected leaders like Bill "Strange Fruit" Ketron (R-Auschwitz) and Stacy "Nacho Loonbre" Campfield (R-Stockholm) doing everything possible to destroy the Garden of Eden that Jesus' Daddy (you know, the One on His birth certificate) left all of us, that updating of the Scriptures is long (long) overdue. Thank you once again, Jesus!

And as someone who actually believes in the wisdom of the teachings of Jesus (instead of simply and slyly using His name in vain for crass, cynical and sinful political purposes), I am more than happy to take His new direction.

Any time, flying monkeys. Anywhere.
