I posted this as a stand-alone in Found on the Net, because I thought it didn't require discussion in and of itself. It's good for a laugh if you want it.
However, I felt it was relevant to this thread. It's a parody of the kind of rhetoric that Glenn Beck goes on about the Obama administration: "the Marxists in Washington," socialism sliding into communism, progressivism sliding into fascism, etc.
This is the power of parody. It takes something, turns it on its head, and throws it back at you. This action gets you to look at the issue from a perspective that you may not have otherwise. Enjoy.
