Do you remember that episode of Star Trek, in the original series, where the crew of the Enterprise encounters a planet of only children? The city was otherwise abandoned and looked run down, and there were no adults anywhere so Bones and Spock and Kirk set out to figure out where the grown ups were. Or as the children called them, "Grups".
Michael J. Pollack was the teen leader of the children, who were not little angels as it turned out. They saw adults as enemies out to kill them so they gave our heroes a busy afternoon hiding out and shooting them with spit balls, bows and arrows, and paper airplanes and eventually over came them. The men were at the mercy of a room full of kids who wanted to do them serious damage.
Meary was the girl who was just reaching puberty and she got herself a crush on Kirk. (They always did and I never could understand that. Checkov was way cuter).
As you recall, it turned out the reason the adults were all gone was due to a strange disease that only affected adults, people who had reached puberty. When that happened the disease kicked in and killed them rapidly.
Meary suddenly began to sprout these gross green scabs on her hands and face which meant she was becoming a grup. She hid the growths knowing that to the kids it would make her an enemy. To Bones and Kirk it meant her time was running out. Bones had to race to try to find a cure before it was too late, but unfortunately the kids had him incapacitated.
Kirk was tied up and being held hostage in an old school room and time was running out. He had to try to make the children understand that he was there to save their lives but they wouldn't have any of it. One particularly obnoxious little brat started stomping around the room with a hammer, shouting Bonk Bonk on the Head! Then all of the kids went ape, chanting "Bonk! Bonk!" and Kirk was all, "No bonk bonk!" And they were like, yeah bonk bonk and Kirk said no bonk bonk and so forth.
They roughed him up pretty good too. It was the defining moment, an ultimate irony. The good guys being attacked by the very people they were trying to help. Immature, childish ignorant people who could not hear the facts they were given. They refused to listen and held fast to their emotional beliefs. They were a frenzied mob determined to destroy their only hope for survival.
In short, they were Bush Republicans. Ignorant, immature thugs, motivated by self centered self righteousness who don't have the sense to discern the facts. A group of vicious brats motivated by fear, so cowardly that they become everything they fear the most and never catch on to that. They refuse to look at the voluminous evidence that bush is destroying EVERYthing. It's a choice. Offered the choice of factual information OR senseless determination to remain ignorant but emotionally hysterical, they choose the latter.
Their official position is, "Don't bother me with evidence, facts and proof, all of that is irrelevant and offensive! Facts and truth are evil. All that matters is brutalizing imaginary evil doers in the name of Jesus. That makes us right and you wrong."
Yes, they're hopeless morons. Twits. Pin heads. So threatened by reality and truth that those who speak it are their America hating enemies. The liberals, the Democrats, anyone who comes to their senses and can see what's happening to our country is a target of their hatred and spurious vicious attacks. They are trying to destroy their only hope of survival. If they kill the truth, all will be lost.
In our Star Trek episode the kids eventually were able to hear the truth. They came around, put down their hammers and let Bones get the cure whipped up saving their own lives. They also realized that grups were not really their enemy. Their beliefs were wrong, plain and simple, based on emotions that came from not having all the facts. It all boiled down to the pain of abandonment. They acted out vengeance in childish, destructive ways.
Does that mean that Bush Republicans just need love? Don't make me hurl. No, it means they're just wrong and stupidly they're ruining everything for everyone including themselves. If you want to love them knock yourself out, but ultimately those among them who care about truth will eventually respond to it. We just have to keep trying to get the facts out there.
Do these goons have the capacity for common sense that those children showed? Fat chance, in my humble opinion. They seem to revel in feats of moronitude. The end justifies the means to them, which is proof of their very deep moral corruption.
The bottom line is this:
Bush Republicans aren't children, they're grups and they are obligated to act like it. Instead of pandering to them I think they all need spankings. The trouble is they're such perverts they'd probably like it.
