Democrats are probably more like a sheep-cow hybrid that maximizes the very worst tendencies of each species.

Carville was getting at the gluttony instinct of the cow (and they are a very large and quite round animal and got that way for a reason :)

His point was that you could wave something Democrats wanted or had been taught to believe they should want and they’d vote however you wanted.

But maybe sheep are self-centered gluttons, too. Dang it, I wish I knew my farm animals better so I could better understand the psychology of Democrats…

I’ve explained my approach to dealing with liberals before. It comes from Proverbs:

Proverbs 26:4-5

4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.

I interpret that the following way: if you waste too much time arguing with a fool, passerby won’t be able to tell the difference between you. It is simply foolish to try to persuade a fool of wisdom or truth or fact. They are no more capable of understanding such than a cockroach is capable of understanding rocket science.

So when I realize I’ve got a fool, I do my best to make it as short a conversation as I possibly can.

At the same time, the Proverb says that a fool should be refuted. And not only to prevent him from “being wise in his own eyes,” but because if you don’t refute big lies people tend to believe them. So on this blog, when a fool presents a fool’s argument, I patiently interact with the argument and refute it, and then I block that fool so I will never have to waste another moment of my life on them ever again.

It’s harder to do in real life, of course. But I try to follow the same principle, but put my emphasis on wasting as little time as possible on a fool rather than the “refute the fool” part.

It seems that America is increasingly becoming a land of sheep with lying, liberal-democrat politicians their shepherd. You can probably thank our useless public-school system and incompetent, godless parents for that. Each year they turn out more rejects than an assembly line at a Chrysler plant. If the trend continues, we are about a half-a-generation away from conservatism becoming extinct and the masses ripe for that man of sin. In reality, we are probably even closer than that. In the beginning, deception does take time, though, but in the end, the fleecing happens quick.

Each day I am confronted by multitudes of sheep. I try to bring reason and light into their minds, but, too often, it is in vain, my ministry is in vain! Sometimes I want to take a blunt object to their skull; sometimes I want to do the same to mine, because I can’t take it. I’ve always been a contrarian, maintaining that mainstream is usually wrong, and that truth is often hidden somewhere behind layers of skillfully crafted lies. Most people, unfortunately, accept things at face value and never develop any level of discernment. It started out as children with Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny and just kept evolving. Lies, everybody believes lies. Of course, this was prophesied in the Bible, that in the last days, the people would believe lies rather than the truth. I do think that there is more here to deception and lies than stupid people believing them, that this comes down to an ancient and ongoing battle in the spirit realm between lies and truth, good and evil.

Same as saying, Oh, having explosives is no big deal. You gotta have a bomb to put it in.
