I just read a short but fascinating article called “The GOP to the Working Class is Like Colonel Sander Promising a Good Life to Chickens”. This is definitely my kind of piece, because it raises age-old philosophical questions. And it lends itself to offering anecdotal commentary, as opposed to carefully researched and statistically supported scholarship.
Here is what I think!
One of my new friends on Facebook is a chicken (that’s his profile pic) and has been living at the Colonel Sanders Happy Farm For Chickens for several weeks. He says that everything is great! He does notice that every day, several of his chicken buddies disappear. But he figures they are probably just visiting friends on another happy chicken farm somewhere. The only thing that bothers him is the constant smell of burning flesh coming from some fast food restaurant down the street with a big KFC sign out front.
Golly, all of this is making me hungry. Any Republicans out there willing to buy my lunch?
Anyway . . . where was I?
Oh! I’m done. That’s all I have to say.
So the next time someone asks you why Democrats (or any sincere, supposedly decent, rational, informed persons who have the greater interests of the country at heart) would support the Republican Party in its wholesale assault on the hard-working, honest and genuinely loyal Americans who make up the majority of citizens in this country, the answer is simple . . .
They are dumber than a chicken.
