The Fire Ant Analogy

I have several false identities that I use at online newspaper sites when I'm trolling. If my time is otherwise unoccupied, I might spend a few minutes posting comments on news features, letters to the editor, or blog entries. The only reason I comment is to provoke negative replies from as many right-wing morons as possible. I enjoy that as much as I enjoy knocking down fire ant mounds.

In Texas, conservatives are like fire ants. They're everywhere you look, and they're a damned nuisance. They serve no discernible useful purpose, and they cause a lot of damage if they aren't controlled. The difference between conservative Republicans and fire ants is that I can poison the ants without being arrested.

When killing off a fire ant colony isn't practical, such as while I'm out walking, I try to kick the crap out of each mound I pass on the sidewalk. It pisses the ants off and definitely disrupts their routine. Bottom line: Fire ants are like Republicans -- if you can't exterminate them, you should at least irritate them for a little while.
