Conservatism is a political clown show,
For modern GOP political theory
“Owning the libs” is the primary thesis,
Boiling down to white grievance minstrelsy,
For minstrelsy, I’m not talking about what you’re thinking:
The minstrel show, or minstrelsy, was an American form of
racist entertainment developed in the early 19th century, consisting of comic
skits, various acts, dancing, and music performances that depicted people of
African descent. Performed by mostly white people in make-up or blackface,
depicting us as dim-witted,[1] lazy,[1] buffoonish,[1][2] superstitious, and
happy-go-lucky.[1]
No, no, no!
I’m talking about the original meaning:
A minstrel was a medieval European entertainer. Initially
describing any entertainer such as a musician, juggler, acrobat, singer, or fool,
the term later, from the sixteenth century, came to mean a specialist [entertainer] who sang songs and played musical instruments.
“Little Bob Corker,”
“Jeff Flakey,”
“Low Energy Jeb,”
“Little Marco,”
“Evan McMuffin”
Added by Joe Scarborough: “Moscow Mitch,”
“Weird Rand Paul,”
“Mr. Peepers” (Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Atty General),
“Mike Pounce” (his Vice President!),
“Little Ben Sasse” (who voted for removal),
“Crazy Arnold Schwarzenegger,”
“Big Luther Strange,”
And, these are just the republicans he nicknamed!
“Lying-Ted,”
Another pet,
Self-labeled now as “Can Cruz,”
Decrying refugee immigrants,
Supposedly taking his daughters to Mexico,
Chief complainer when President Obama took deserved vacations,
For a tough job, he couldn't begin to relate to,
The original white minstrels,
Puppeteered by Orange Satan,
He recognized the “gang of Putin” for what it is:
A racist, grievance reality show,
More performance art than policy,
TS Eliot couldn’t envision men so hollow.
Their previous complaints about vacations
Were deflections, and projections,
Said nothing for four years about their criminal president,
Bearing “true faith and allegiance” to his oath and theirs,
both were derelict,
Saying “no” to your daughters, Can Cruz,
It is in parental vocabulary,
And one syllable less than yes,
Coward!
Did you throw the GIRLS under the bus for your poor decisions?
Do yourself and me a favor:
DNA test them to see if the pool boy has been with the missus,
Speaking of which,
You didn’t even defend Heidi.
From Orange Satan calling her ugly,
Or, the honor of Cruz senior,
When he intimated he killed John F. Kennedy,
A Hispanic male,
Father from Cuba,
Born in Canada,
To an American mother,
Wants to be president,
Of a nation of immigrants,
Doesn’t want immigrants,
Fleeing violence birthed by U. S. policies in Central America,
Yet, FLED to Mexico,
For shelter, water, and power,
The things many of his Texas constituents,
Lack at this hour,
In Amarillo, Austin, Dallas, El Paso,
You’re a STATEWIDE senator,
Not just for Spring, Texas, and Houston,
Or, the rabble you abuse on Fox Propaganda News,
They don’t have 1,600 dollars,
For four plane tickets,
They didn’t leave a poodle named “Snowflake.”
In an unheated home to freeze to death,
(Thankfully, he didn’t),
They don’t have 300 per night,
For Five Star rooms at the Ritz,
“Lying Fled, Can Cruz” away,
He might as well let go of his ambitions to be president,
Like his grifting political party,
He’s a white grievance minstrel performer,
He and they have lost sight of public service!
