Most of us remember the daily cartoon program, titled “Rocky the Flying Squirrel.” A cartoon series I faithfully watched when a senior in high school. It was Rocky and his sidekick, “Bullwinkle the Moose.” Remember?
None the less, the Rocky Show Occasionally featured two brainy characters called, “Sherman and Mr. Peabody.” One was a loud mouth precocious kid of ten or eleven. And the other a Snoopy looking dog wearing nerd looking black rim glasses and spoke professorially with a high degree of expertise. Never the less, the two scholarly brainiacs would often call upon the “Way Back” machine. A device that wisk the two cartoon academics would climb aboard and traveled backwards into the past. Going sometimes as far back as the “Middle Ages.” Often talking with and interviewing famous ancient characters. Sir Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison, etc.
Well, the two are back with their Way Back machine. This time the prattling pair want all of us to go back with them. And back to stay. However, the boy and the dog have different names. One is called Mit Romney and the other is Paul Ryan. Certainly the Way Back duo. However their persona is far worse than the Sherman and Peabody characters. More like an ominous pair. Promising to reverse every benefit and privilege we have ever known as Americans. Wanting us to be cavemen and women. Once again. No more public schools. No more health benefits. No more private property. Just wearing primitive animal skin clothes and clubbing each other with heavy wooden sticks. All the while Mit and Paul would lord it over the highly polluted landscape with commands to build more pipelines and “Drill Baby Drill!”
Is this what we want for America? Do we want to reverse all government benefits and allow the rich to go Scott free with no taxes? Plus return women back to a harsh second class status. Possibly returning them back to a near slave existence? Then possibly shutting down businesses and sending their jobs to low wage Asian countries? Hmm? Is this what we want?
Absolutely NOT. Say NO to Paul and Mit. The way back regressive twins. What would Mr. Peabody say about this reversal of fortune, anyway.
