Redefining political parties

Every night, between the time I lay down in bed and the time I actually fall asleep, my brain literally becomes a storm of activity. Tonight, after dosing myself up on anti-imflammatory medications and while I was futilely trying to find the least painful position in which to sleep, the usual random thoughts danced around in my brain.

One of the thoughts that seemed to stick was the concept of redefining existing words or concepts. My idle brain then began to find new ways to apply this line of thought.

Here are some of the ideas that played out in my brain in regards to redefining political parties based on their current platforms.

Democratic party redefined:

• National Socialist Democratic Abortion Party (symbol: a swastika made from aborted fetuses)


• National Marxist Party (symbol: red star)


• Dred Scott Party (symbol: a burning cross)


• Cookoo Party (symbol: a straightjacket)

Republican party redefined:

• Christian Socialist Party (symbol: cross and sickle)


• Coward Party (symbol: either a giant chicken or a cat with a yellow stripe down its back)


• Theocratic Party (symbol: American flag, with crosses in the place of stars)


• Democratic Party (symbol: a great big jackass)
