Once Upon a Time

"Once Upon a Time"

These words have always prefaced fairy tales, night time stories that lull little ones to sleep. Usually, the more fanciful, the more "make-believe", the more magical; the more they are believed by little ones about ready to go to sleep.

Children love a good "story", and reality or facts are definitely not required. Fairies, Prince Charmings, heroes, villains, and other fanciful characters are soothing to a child, and help little boys and girls to sleep.

Usually it is not a good idea to tell stories that are real, because the child needs to be soothed into sleep, coaxed into giving up, which is often hard, but the bigger the whopper, the more they can be lulled into comfortable and blissful sleep.

What follows is the Republican "Once Upon a Time" talking points, that are being used to lull us into sleep.

1. Taxes are bad, and cutting them will put us all in a "good place". And, we can then have more money to go get the evil ones in far away places.

2. Government is bad, even though we are running to be elected to it, but we are the Prince Charmings, Democrats are NOT!

3. The more money one has, the more fairy princess like you become.

4. Democrats are all mean, awful people, who eat children.

5. Heroes are those who cut grandma's health plan, so we all can have more money.

6. Democrats are cutting grandma's health plan, but in a bad way compared to ours.

7. People who are not white, like Snow White, are bad.

8. Republicans are Snow White.

9. Warm, hot weather, that lets you wear your swimming suit in January, is good for you.

10. Cars are fun, they go fast, we need more of them.

11. Oil and gas will last forever.

12. Democrats tell us different (see 10 and 11) but are evil (see #13).

13. Democrats are witches.

14. Fire taxes are bad, even when the forest is on fire. Democrats are setting the fires. (See #13).

15. Babies are made by bees leaving their pollen in Mommy's Stomach. People who disagree with this are bad! Democrats disagree with this.(see #13).

16. There are some bad people who rob from the rich and give to the poor. These people are witches. See # 13.

17. Finally, mommy and daddy's piggy bank is empty, they have had to borrow from grandpa to buy candy. But that is good, because the way to get more money, is to cut grandpas taxes, then we can buy more candy....Democrats say no, but (see #13).

And we all are tucked into bed, and these fairy tales are what lull us into sleep, blissful in the confidence that everything will be all right.

Goodnight Moon. Goodnight Loon/Toon. Goodnight to Mitt, flying over the moon.

Democrats are witches.
