Galleon-Slaves Vs Crew

         I started writing these posts in October of 2008 and shortly after beginning I noticed that I had a.... follower. I have to admit that it shook me up a little.....me....Special Dog....had a follower! What would be next...a group of followers and then we all move to a small town in upstate New York and my followers begin to be known as.....what....Doggers? I write my own Bible and then as events take their course we all go down in a blaze of glory on some Caribbean island?
         OK I exaggerate a little but I really did not like the concept of a follower. I went into the settings of these blogs and eliminated the follower link. As far as I know my one follower is still....following me.... as my very own Sancho.....I only wish that I had his advice!
         Why do I spend just about every day of my life at this computer and on this blog....which really isn't even a blog? I'm sure that it has effected my sanity but not sure if it has been for the better or the worse. What would I be like on Facebook....with....friends?  Would I get one 'friend' and say...."that's it...no more friends!"? As an aside I guess that we all have a few things about our lives that we like to brag about. I have two.... I have never seen an actual Facebook page....and I have never seen Megyn Kelley on her show! If salvation were truly by 'works' which so many mistakenly believe then I surely would be in!
         I like to exaggerate my metaphors and often veer off into extended metaphors.....maybe you have noticed? Here's one for example.....Progressives are like Canadian geese who follow that lead goose who in this case is a bull goose loony....but they might be likened more to the herd of pigs that ran off the cliff and into the sea as Jesus cast the demons into them. Now don't get upset, I'm not calling Progressives pigs for that would be politically incorrect....I'm only saying that they might have demons in them which no Progressives would mind for they don't believe in demons....but they do believe in pigs.....which they call us all the time....and that's not being  politically incorrect because Progressives just tell the truth all the time.
        A case in point would be the news story that heads Fox News Internet right now...."Sparks fly as teams Clinton, Trump review bruising campaign." Harvard hosts this campaign "postmortem" after every presidential campaign. Permit me a little anecdote here...In 2001 my wife and son and I went to Europe. While in England we visited Cambridge University. I was somewhat in awe but as I toured Emmanuel College, where John Harvard was educated, I saw a statue of a Hindu deity displayed in amongst portraits of many Puritans. That would be akin to finding the Reformation Study Bible on the table next to Barack Obama's bed! But I digress as I always do...
        In this...debate...the Clinton team member once again accused the Trump campaign of racism. That would be like condemning the people on the Mayflower for purposely bringing two rats along in the very bottom of the hold. It's particularly sad since the Democrat Party is like an ancient galleon that used galley-slaves to row. Conservatives can be likened more to a college 'crew' team. By the way, now that the campaign is over Dinesh D'Souzas's film Hillary's America should be out on DVD by now. Watch this and weep!
