I’m pretty sure I’ve made this point before, but with another great expansion of government on the horizon, I should make it again.
The federal government is Godzilla. That’s the easiest way to look at it. It’s this giant, lumbering beast that is marginally under our command. So what do you do with such a thing? Well, if you need to destroy Tokyo (which is something we tasked our government with in the 40s), then it’s well suited for such a task. Godzilla is great at smashing things and can easily unleash havoc.
But let’s say we don’t need to smash something at the moment. Let’s say instead we want it to feed the poor. Well, I guess Godzilla could carry a bunch of food and try to hand it out to the little ants in front of it, but it’s likely to crush a bunch of people and smash a few buildings in the process. It’s so big, it might not even notice that and think it’s doing a great job. And the bigger we make Godzilla, the less it’ll hear our pleas and the more likely it is to unwittingly crush and destroy things while trying to be helpful.
And if Godzilla is in the middle of trying to help us and we accidentally make it mad…
So the solution is to task Godzilla with tasks away from domestic life where it can’t accidentally harm us, and try not to let Godzilla get too big so it is less likely to unwittingly crush us and is easier to control. Otherwise, we might lose all control of Godzilla, and then what’s the solution? That’s right: Mothra. And the problem is, if metaphorically Godzilla is the federal government, I have no idea what Mothra is supposed to be. But Mothra is a big, scary bug so it can’t be pleasant.
What about Gamara?
I can’t get past the government description containing the word God.
Theocrat! Theocrat! Theocrat!
For some reason, throughout that whole blog the motions of your mouth didn’t seem to match up with the words you were saying.
Mothra has to be Nancy Pelosi, a big, scary bug that can’t be pleasant. And there is the Botox, gallons and gallons of the stuff that turned her into a brainless mutant.
Mothra was helped by two little fairys. Just sayin’.
This is a good analogy. I may have to cut and paste in a debate I am having with a group of libbies.
Son of Bob took thw words out of my mouth. and mis-matched them.
Right now government is like Ghidorah, the 3-headed monster(Pelosi, Reid, O-bah-muhh) that Godzilla(Gojira) needs to bite the heads off.
Ghidorah was also known as Monster Zero, which works well since we have a President Zero.
Ahhhh ROOOOK!!!!
IT’S FEDZIRRA!
AHHHHHHHH!!!!
Ted Nugent calls it Fedzilla. Are you ripping off Ted Nugent? You understand he and Chuck Norris are co-workers over at Townhall.com, don’t you?
Or Human Events, rather. I can’t remember.
Mothra is a bucket.
I leave you all to finish the joke.
This is the most brilliant use of an analogy since the Sermon on the Mount. You sir are a gen…wait that might be going a little too far.
Mothra is very powerful and can kick Godzilla’s keister – but he runs from Fred Thompson.
Maybe we need Fred Thompson to hoist his beta capsule and once again turn into Ultraman!!!
Yeah baby yeah!
Imagine a fight between giant Ultraman Fred Thompson and Godzilla would be!
Funny we are on the same wavelength I keep wanting to write a short story about a small village who has a large monster that lives in the nearby forest. 1/3 of the villagers think they can tame the beast and make him do all the hauling, pushing, and lifting. Another 1/3 wants to strengthen it and arm it and leave it in the forest to deal with any invading forces. The other 1/3 knows both of those are probably bad ideas and despise giving half of all their food to feed the monster when they are pretty sure that sooner or later the monster will destroy the town and probably eat them and their families. Of course they have kinds of recorded history and examples where the monster turned against the villagers but the other 2/3 dismisses them believing they have it under control and that if it gets out of control they can stop it.
How you feel about the Fed is how liberals feel about the military and Vice-versa. Truth is they will both be right its only a matter of time.
(Note I am not against military I just think rather then trying to turn the government monster into a fighting force that the villagers should learn to defend themselves e.g. national guard and civilian militias.)
The Godzilla analogy explains the liberal fascination with mass transit.
I like the idea of using Mothra, mostly because I like the tiny hotties who call him.
But….
If you want my opinion, use King Kong, he kicks butt and afterward you only need to lure him to a tall building and get him to fall off. Some of the other monsters are harder to get rid of.
Just don’t use Rodan.
Trust me.
We could also use the Boggy Creek monster. Unfortunately, only Old Man Crenshaw can deal with the Boggy Creek monster, and Old Man Crenshaw is very smelly.
The American People are Mothra. Or Mecha Godzilla. Bottom line is, when the American People have had enough, it will be a bad day for Godzilla.
I would use a chainsaw.
the only benefit of having Obama in the presidency is that your blog has tons a material to mock
Side note: Are you going to cover the Ann Coulter deal going on in Canada? I see liberals especially Canadian liberals don’t understand what she is doing. So let me invert it so they may understand”
Imagine if a pro-gay speaker came to a college and said, “I want to marry my sister and my dog and I think gay marriage laws are the fastest way to secretly get that legal.” Liberals would find that hilarious. Same reason some Conservatives who get what she is doing find Coulter funny and right. They are glad she mocking their opponents ridiculous mis-characterizations of them.
Or if a female leftist said, I love the smell of aborted fetis’s in the morning. Hence mocking the sometimes conservative protract that feminists not only approve of abortion but like it also.
Would a liberal take that literally? Or would you understand that they are mocking the ridiculous premise and insinuations of their critics? I think I could come up with hilarious liberal versions of Coulterisms’ all day long. I would like to think that liberals would now understand what Anne is doing but then fascists aren’t known for their sense of humour.
Yes you’re right. For example, Joe the Vice President while speaking to the Prez said of the health care bill that…”This is a big f**king deal.” He said it on an open mike, and I for one partially agree with him. Just remove the word ‘deal’ and he is absolutely correct….as you said easy to mock.
Godzilla? I think the gubmint is more like Akira.
No, not Mothra. GAMERA!! Cause he’s really neat…..and full of meat….and everybody loves Gamera!!
