Dedicated to Grover Norquist and other "Cons:"
Because of our current political climate, we, the intelligent, compassionate citizens of the United States, are being forced to seek another home for several million of our fellow citizens.

As much as it pains us to admit it, these folks just aren't a good fit in our home anymore. We originally thought it might be possible to rehabilitate them, but we've had to give it up as a lost cause.

They are very aggressive, spending too much of their time and energy growling and snapping at anyone who gets too close. Impossible to house break, they frequently urinate on our Constitution. They are prone to fear-biting, cowering in the corner, then launching themselves without warning, often attacking friend or foe alike with no consideration beforehand. It's not that they're dumb or anything...they're just very fearful and often forget who is and is not their enemy when in the throes of panic.

They make excellent guard beasts--though we do recommend the use of a heavy chain to keep them from straying too far. They're extremely destructive when they slip their leash, tearing up whole cities and chunks of countryside if allowed to run amuck.

They can be placated by feeding them treats of empty platitudes and reactionary rhetoric, as well as bible verse taken completely out of context. They enjoy praise, and can easily be controlled through empty flattery. They particularly enjoy being referred to as the "Chosen People" or "Patriots" though it remains unclear why they think they're 'chosen' and what, exactly, is patriotic about their actions and attitudes.

They are all purebred registered Republicans, with papers. Many, if not all, come from a good lineage. Many are show quality, though some are only pet quality. They can be shipped with or without their own toys and bedding--as you prefer.

We'd be very grateful to anyone willing to take them off our hands. In fact, at this point, we'd be willing to pay YOU, or, at the very least, allow them to take their personal fortunes with them.

in abject desperation,

The TRUE patriots of the United States of America

1. YAY! First rec!
GREAT piece, Mythsaje!

Maybe we could start a DU "War on Christmas" holiday tradition here:

"Adopt-a-NeoCon - the PERFECT gift for that special someone on your list who you UTTERLY DESPISE!"

2. LOL...My last thread you were the ONLY rec. Or reply, for that matter.
Apparently I was interfering with the circular firing squad and "we hate Carville" threads.

<sigh>

I like that Adopt-a-Neo-Con" idea. Make a good essay in itself.

3. Very clever.
And very fitting. Grover and Newt do sound like good names for aggressive misbehaving hounds.

4. Can't we just put 'em down?
It would be the humane thing to do, I think. I'm pretty sure this breed you are referring to has a strain of incurable rabies.

7. Or pen them up ... at those Halliburton camps, or Abu Ghraib.

8. Whoa. You really nailed it.
What a perfect description. It's them.


All morning long I've had "I'm a war president" rolling through my mind. I can't believe it. Not that it has much to do with your post. As though war was something to embrace.

Guard beasts...

You know, the more time I have spent on DU, the more I feel at home. What a relief!
