Damn. Yeah.

Terrific writing, as usual, but allow me to throw a bit of cold water on the marsupial analogy.

I saw a documentary about how those tiny, newborn, wriggling little worms make it into that pouch and it ain't none too fun. If a kangaroo newborn can't crawl its way into the pouch on its own, or should it lose its way or its grip, it's done for.

So, really, even marsupials have to work much harder for the teat than do the liberal class.

Damn, Vman.
You hit the top row on that one.

very good writing. thanks.

You are the Cyrano of the keyboard my friend.

You are the Cyrano of the keyboard my friend.

You're the Marlin Perkins of the political world, Vman.

:o)

You spanked it for sure...

Don't forget that loathsome marsupial: "journalist"!

Excellent post. Love the metaphor.

I sit here in the last row of seats in the ballpark, and I caught that homer with my eyes, my ears, my brain!

Titbound? LMAO!

Journalists are the milk-ants of the busy mound of community organizers. They milk the White Liberal of all their guilt-laden propensities. Unfortunately, the aphids are a blight on the rose of Freedom. I had posted a comment over at BigGov to that effect, regarding the whine over double standards of racism:

"I'm pretty sure it's not about double standards. It's about arranging things for the maximum benefit. White Liberals are the aphids of the busy community organizers, and they milk them for all kinds of political nourishment. Black Liberals do not care if the aphids are racist as their use to the Black community isn't based on what they say, but on how much money they will yield for their purposes."

I hadn't thought of the Journalists as the milk-ants until the previous commenter suggested a category for them.

It's a great time to be a political animal, I guess.

Also, marsupial's are generally light-skinned and don't speak with a marsupial accent....unless they want to....

An extremely fine essay.

I have long considered the Leftist to be worse than a child. Take for example an ex-friend of mine who claimed to be offended by the fact that the basics of survival (food, shelter, clothing, transportation and medical care) are considered property and must then be purchased on the open market instead of being supplied by government to all.

"Grow up", said I, "even a toddler eventually says 'Let me! I can do it!'"

Unsurprisingly, he also developed a raging case of anti-Semitism, which is why he is an ex-friend.

A fascinating analogy, delightfully constructed.

Political subtext aside, I think there are more of these Marsupial-Folk walking the planet than ever before. Consider the college student who moves back home rather than seeking his or her fortune in the wild world. We seem to be creating a Generation of the Helpless.

Fuck that. Get rid of that bike helmet, kid! Climb on them monkey bars... the ones that the playground designers, in their wisdom, installed on an asphalt parking lot. That was my childhood... and if you managed to survive it, why, you were all the stronger for it.

Flynny, the aphorism of the marsupial is flawless and perfect; the newborn worm "struggles" through a few inches of soft, warm fur, to arrive in a warm pouch where it spends the next several years being coddled and fed at will. Liberals look at their manufactured "Suffering" as if it were some epic journey, when it was but a short crawl through soft conditions.

Had a co-worker- a graphic artist- who considered himself to have "Suffered" for his art, by alienating all the people that loved him through his insolence and rudeness. So he ended up living in his car. he deserved a swift kick in the ass, and eventually, I got around to administering it to him.

Someone bought you a bottle of high-grade hooch this Christmas, didn't they?

A superb essay. I think marsupials are edible, but liberals may be poisonous.

I'm not up to sucking your dick or anything, but ya made your point well enough.

Writing like that is why I keep coming back. In between visits it's dictionary time.

Amazing essay, excellent analogy.
Well done sir.

Who are the utterly effed up monotreme class? Just curious.

The monotremes are the press.
