Are Republicans victims of body snatching aliens?

How else to explain their barbarian behavior and the poison they spew?

Many of us have seen the original or remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” To me, this film totally explains the motives, actions and sheer insanity of today’s Republican Party. Let’s get out of denial. The party of “No” has been taken over by alien pods. Their goal is to wipe out anything and anybody who might possess emotions, a conscience, or basic humanity.

What motivates these aliens? It’s simple. They want to replace humans with zombie-like creatures that will vote as they’re told to vote, hate those whom they are told to hate, praise any creature who speaks on Fox News, spit on policies that would make the world a better place, and adore and obey some of the most despicable, demented freaks who constantly appear on our TV screens.

Just in case you think you might be a pod, check your own reaction to these names: Newt, Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Scalia, Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, Glen Beck. And let’s not leave out “religious” pods -- venomous people like James Dobson, Pat Robertson, and Randall Terry – the lunatic who assembled a mob of crazies outside of a Florida hospice.

The act of dehumanizing human beings has always been a way in which tyrants have gotten their minions to commit heinous acts. But what I am getting at here is that the Republican Party has long since given up any claim to behaving as “normal” human beings. They really don’t give a rat’s ass who suffers, starves, feels pain, floats or sinks, lives or dies, just so long as they can reestablish their own power. The power that led us into unnessary wars and another great American depression.

Politicians won’t use the terms "war crimes," or “depression.” But turn off your TV and take a look around. Those who deny reality just have to be people who have been taken over by alien pods.

If you have a different opinion and believe that today’s Republican Party and their followers are “normal” human beings, I’d like to hear you make a case for that. To me, Republicans, (along with their blue-dog Democratic allies), might as well be malignant aliens bent on the destruction of humanity.

But it's a secret... (shh)
