Parable of the Snake
July 9th, 2007Cindy Sheehan, they hardly knew ye, and you they, but I — I have always known, my dear, that you were a snake and a maniac, and now they who supported you through your megalomania, even they now know because you are threatening the Speaker of the House with your presence in her next election if she doesn’t introduce Articles of Impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.
I can hardly fathom how anyone thought you were some kind of hero at any point in any place. I’ve always said, you used your son’s death for sleazy political purposes that ran against his own views, even, and nobody should take anything you say seriously. You’ve turned your son’s tragedy into your own through your delusions of grandeur, and you’ve become as power-hungry as the man you despise. Worst of all — you think you can defeat the Speaker of the House or do her damage?
Woe is the world. Woe! And to all the Democrats who may be stunned by this news, I present you the Parable of the Snake.
A woman was walking down the road when she found a crowd which was beating a trapped snake to death. “Stop!” she screamed, “Stop! Let it live!” and despite their insistence that the serpent was lethal and couldn’t be left to live, she took it home where she cared for it for months, slowly nursing it back to health, at which point she lived with it in harmony for a few months until one day, she came home and it bit her. She cried in agony and died shortly thereafter but before she succumbed to the poison she asked, “Why?” and the beast replied, “Lady, you knew I was a snake when you found me!”
Word of the Lord.
