Eating Sawdust & Voting Democrat

​"Eating Sawdust and Voting Democrat"

Did you know that eating sawdust is good for you?

Well, it isn’t. However, if a leader of The Democrat Party like Barack Obama or Liz Warren decided eating sawdust was the new health food, the faithful would likely line up, fork and spoon in hand, and begin chowing down like a group of crazed beavers.

Here’s how I know this to be true; The Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, believe that a man can be a woman simply because he/she believes they are. Now, there are substantial physical and biological differences between men and woman. There are differences in the way a Man’s brain and Woman’s brains work, in terms of how we process information, as well. Everyone knows this. No one much disputed it except a few leftwing radicals—until, Barack Obama waved his legislative wand and decided that men could unleash the trouser snake in any bathroom, whether male or female, in front of your mom, your wife, even your 10-yr-old daughter, as long as the individual in question actually believed they were a woman. All because a group of social scientists made up some new science, with precious little evidence, but a truckload of misguided pseudo-intellectual chutzpah.

After being stunned for a second or two, and trying very hard to make sense of what was clearly nonsense, the Democrat faithful genuflected to their Lord and Master Barack Obama and agreed. You see, in President Obama, lay all their righteousness, physically embodied. Not unlike a secular Jesus. For Leftists, there could be no other kind.

To compensate for this subversive bit of silliness, the Democrats told themselves that “No Republican would ever vote for a Black man, By God!” Making that whole “A man can be a woman thing” feel more rational and less insane. This had the effect of emotionally re-calibrating their moral compasses, even though, The Republicans Party was created as the anti-slavery party—to fight against The Democrats, who were Jim Crow’s best friend and slavery’s longtime benefactor.

The Republicans, in fact, supported the landmark Civil Rights acts of 1964 and 65 in greater numbers than the Democrats. But this little fact was brushed under the rug, into some dark corner of history. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess.

Here’s a touch of reality; Bull Connors, the living symbol of White supremacy, the sheriff who personally blocked the school-house door so African Americans children couldn’t enter a White school, was a lifelong Democrat.

Both Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln were Republicans.

Regardless, The Democrats felt certain that no Republican would ever support men being women and women being men. “No siree! I think we’ve got them on that one!” said The Party faithful. And, they were right, of course, because men can’t be women and woman can’t be men. Not by cutting off their genitalia. Not by hormone treatments. Not by shaving their Adam’s apple. Not by breast implants or manufactured penises. Not even close. So said the doctor that was responsible for pioneering sex-change surgery for John-Hopkins in the United States. Of course, there were a million years or so of human history, as well as the history of animals and insects to bolster faith in the obvious—that two genders were all there was—not 10 or 20 or 57.

Perception is not reality, no matter how deeply held that perception might be.

This does not mean that Republicans are against trans-people—or gay people—or any people. I support a person’s right to freely live as they choose, gay, trans, or straight. However, I also understand that re-defining human sexuality, in order to protect the feelings of a fraction of 1% of the population, is a stunningly terrible idea. Likewise, using Uncle Sam to forcibly compel the correct gender pronouns from a lengthy list of highly subjective terms, is unworkable madness that will destroy the right to freely speak, which is the cornerstone of American culture. That too is a deeply malicious idea worthy of the biblical Satan, Legba, Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies, The Man in the Black Suit, The modern Democrat Party. All, one and the same.

From that perspective, I’d guess that eating sawdust probably doesn’t seem all that bad.

Relatively speaking, few things would.
