They won elections in the west and the south by swaggering around extolling the blessed Bill Of Rights and the need to keep the federal government at arms length because Real Men and Women don't need no Democrat sissy nanny state and her Big Brother taking away their rights.The big f-ing baby party. Save me from the dreaded "Islamofascists" and all their friends in Greenpeace, PETA, the Democratic party, and the Catholic worker movement.
9/11 changed everything. Suddenly the he-men of WalMart and the NRA leaped into Big Brother's arms and shrieked "save me, save me! Do what ever you have to do, they're trying to kill us all!" They now look to Daddy Government not to discipline the children, but to check under the bed for them every night, reassure them that the boogeyman won't hurt them and then read them a nice bedtime story about spreading freedom and democracy. It turns out that underneath all this swaggering bravado, the Republicans aren't the Daddy party --- they're the baby party.
Boo! Scary, kids.
The baby party must have a boogeyman with a scary label, just like the McCarthy's communists in the 1950s. Take my liberties. I don't care. Spy on me. I don't care. Summon the ghosts of Nixon and Joe McCarthy if you must. What was that noise in the closet? A terrorist vegan soup homeless shelter volunteer?
Better wiretap Bono and Bill Gates too. Who knows what kind of terrorist connections they may have? They're helping out the poor in Africa.
What these big f-ing Rethuglican babies need is a good dose of Benjamin Franklin.
"Those that would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."What they also need is a bunch of prison cells for all the Republicans under investigation and indictment. I hear Gitmo is nice this time of year.
Maybe they'll finally feel safe behind bars, where they belong.
