I wonder…

I wonder if I were a republican, eager to jump on the latest anti-democrat bandwagon, would I so blindly and deeply be choking down these hooks lines and sinkers.

Would I have stock piled firearms prior to Obama’s election, because Rush convinced me that the democratic agenda was to abolish the 2nd amendment? Now that I mentioned it… What happened with that? It’s been over a year. …And Barack still hasn’t exhumed Charlton Heston’s grave to sort out that “cold dead hand” business.

Hmmm… I wonder how many other Rushstradamus predictions simply aren’t happening. If I blindly hated all things to the left of 16th century social standards, perhaps I would be too consumed with the latest anti-progress campaign to notice that the last one turned out to be baseless.

And now the healthcare thing. I’ve been hearing the hysteria on the news, which has become more than a little bit dramatic. Now as we all know, republicans never denied that it was politically important to them for Obama to fail at bringing about health care reform. So it was no surprise to anyone when they stuck to their usual political strategy and chose an element of the healthcare plan to demonize in news and radio campaigns. …Turned out to be the mandate piece.

So I wonder how convinced I would be. If I were a right wing devotee, would I believe that a health insurance mandate would bring about the end days??? …That these evil commie congressmen on the left are agents of Satan, here to destroy my life with health insurance? Would I become so passionate in this belief that I would feel compelled to threaten a politician’s children?

Okay. I’m done wondering about it…

Now that I’ve given it some thought, I’m entirely certain that I lack the ability to cram my head that far up my ass.
