The Brains of Squirrels

by Sam Huntington

What kind of a person remains with a physically or mentally abusive spouse?  Abusive persons are often sociopaths, defined as individual who consistently violate social customs, break the law with impunity, and exploit the people around them for their own purposes.  And of course, these convincing liars remain charming and consistently deny any wrongdoing, or they transpose the situation so that it becomes the fault of the person who is being abused or taken advantage of...

The answer to the question posed above is, any person with the brains of a squirrel.  This would appear to define every single person who either voted for Barack Obama in 2008, or reelected him in 2012 because Barack Obama fits the clinical definition of a sociopath, and disturbingly, so do the people with whom he has chosen to advise him.  Now, I have heard people argue that Barack Obama wasn’t nearly as popular in 2012 —and yet, Obama was overwhelmingly reelected.  One must admit, this is an amazing phenomenon.  

People are still wondering, “How on earth could this have happened?”  I have two thoughts here: first, what do you think David Axelrod was doing between 2010 and the elections in 2012?  Secondly, Obama’s reelection in 2012 was a likely consequence of voting for him in 2008 and so again, it appears as if America is being held captive by people with the brain of a squirrel.  I suppose I could echo the sentiments of others on the Internet by reiterating that all elections have consequences—that upon occasion, the consequences of electing the wrong individual can be severe.  Note: Anyone who doesn’t know who David Axelrod is should not continue reading this essay; you are already a lost cause.

Still, I understand how confusing all of this could be to readers, particularly those who voted for Barack Obama in either election, especially when the Obamaphiles continually harp about the President’s achievements.  But of course, these are the same people who worked so hard to convince Americans to elect Obama in 2008.  Only a person with the brains of a squirrel would allow him or herself to be swayed in that direction for a third time.  Only a person with the brain of a squirrel and the memory of a gnat could disremember, “If you like your doctor...”

George Will recently noted that in 1968, 76% of the American people trusted their government.  Today, only 19% of the American people trust government ... and yet, in spite of this overwhelming distrust of the federal government, voters return the same morons to the Congress election after election.  Maybe there is a disconnect here.  Perhaps voters with the brains of squirrels are unable to make the connection between elections and bad government.  Maybe the American people do not realize that Congress is part of the government, and therefore, part of the problem.  Conceivably the American people have not made the connection between voting for a sociopathic, well-spoken Negro and the utter destruction of American values and institutions.

Maybe —just maybe, American voters have the brains of squirrels because they are the product of leftist brainwashing for twelve to sixteen years of public funded education, and their parents, similarly educated, also have the brains of squirrels.

What a tangled web we weave when leftists practice to deceive...
