A New symbol
for the Democratic Party
I’d like to propose that the symbol for the
Democratic Party be changed from a donkey
(or is an ass? I suppose it’s one and the
same)) to Janus, the two headed mythological
Roman god for January. In case you’ve
forgotten, Janus is portrayed with two
faces, one looking into the past and the
other peering into the future. The perfect
image for people who speak out of both sides
of their mouths. Those would be the members
of the Democratic Party.
In my humble opinion, this makes much more
sense than their current symbol. I suppose
in the years past before the internet no one
could remember what the members of this
party said or did with any degree of
accuracy. Today, this isn’t possible since
we have records made with recorders, cell
phones, and who knows what all other kinds
of devices with information from years past
coming back to haunt those who make idiotic
statements.
Former senate majority leader, Trent Lott
(R-Mississippi) was forced out of office in
2002 by the Democrats for making this
statement about Senator Strom Thurmond:
"I want to say this about my state: When
Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted
for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest
of the country had followed our lead, we
wouldn't have had all these problems over
all these years, either."
Fast forward to 2009 and we now have Senator
Harry Reid (D-Nevada) making this statement
about President Obama…. (He is a)
"light-skinned" black man "with no Negro
dialect unless he wanted to have one."
Excuse me, but isn’t Senator Reid in fact
saying that the President play acts to
audiences or pretends to be something that
he isn’t? That’s how I read his comments,
what do you get from them? The phrase
“unless he wanted to have one." smacks of
insincerity on the part of the President in
the eyes of Senator Reid. Of course Senator
Reid might be referring to Obama’s 2008
Selma Alabama speech in which then Senator
Obama affects a distinctive Southern accent
for the benefit of his audience. Listen for
yourself and make your own decision.

Of course, Senator Reid has issued an
apology and is now saying that he ‘misspoke’
and his words were taken out of context. If
you believe that, I have some oil wells for
sale in downtown Manhattan. Of course from
the Democratic viewpoint what Lott said and
what Reid said are not to be compared. These
are apples and oranges not ill spoken words.
Former President Clinton also got caught
making a casual remark when he said…. (of
Obama)… “a few years ago this guy would have
been getting us coffee.” No reaction again
from the far left…they see nothing wrong
with any of these remarks. You can bet if a
Republican had made any remark even remotely
similar, the Democrats would be screaming
for their heads to be lopped off and carried
out on a platter for the entire world to
see. But not today…no, no, no……the left wing
is out in full force honoring as well as
praising Senator Reid for not only his
remarks but his ‘long serving’ tenure to
this country.
Excuse me but according to my calculations,
former Senator Lott has or had more service
to this government of ours than Senator Reid
does as of this date. I didn’t notice anyone
from the Democratic Party rallying around
Senator Lott when he was forced to step
down.
As a friend of mine once said, there are two
things you don’t want to see…sausage making
and politics in action. I’m beginning to
think I might like sausage making better.
