Darling and Delicious, the twin baby prophets of Sarhara and her husband the prophet Johnny Oops, had a secret that they shared. Although they were only three months old, because they had genius genes, they had the minds of grown up women, and they regularly argued over politics telepathically. The trouble is that Darling was a republican, and Delicious was a democrat. They argued incessantly over conservative verses liberal points of view. Please keep in mind that their views were not those of normally mature women, but these young ladies were determined to solve the major political problems of the United States.
Darling: “We have got to do something about our long term deficit. We have got to balance the budget. Spending is going wild.
Delicious: That’s your fault. You republicans are supposed to be the ones who control the budget and are tough on spending.
Darling: We can’t help it. This war is costing a fortune
Delicious: Who started the war to begin with? I told you it’s your fault.
Darling: Protecting our people from terrorism is more important than balancing the budget.
Delicious: Now your talking like a democrat. We have to spend to protect our people. They are entitled. That’s what’s important.
Darling: It’s your damn entitlements that got us in trouble in the first place. Now see what you’ve done.
Delicious: We are going to have to cut back on foreign spending and the war to save the dollar and protect our economy.
Darling: Now look at who is talking about protectionism. I thought you are supposed to protect us against other countries, not ourselves.
Delicious: That’s not the kind of free market thinking we need. The whole world wants to be our trading partner.
Darling: Then why don’t they trade with us fairly?
Delicious: What do you want – a perfect world?
Darling: This whole discussion strikes me as a classic case of role reversal. What ever are we going to do?
Delicious: We may have to form a third party.
Darling: That would be impossible. We don’t agree on anything.
Delicious. That’s perfect, then we will fit right into the political landscape of the United States.
Darling: I guess when our forefathers fought for individual freedom they did mean it literally.
Delicious: That’s what so precious about our democracy, Darling. Let’s never forget it.
Darling: For once I agree with you, Delicious, but don’t let anyone know. They will start to think we republicans are becoming too liberal, too democratic.
Darling: As long as we both agree that it’s America first, I am happy to keep your secret.
Delicious: That’s okay, that’s a secret you can tell everyone about.
Darling: I think we both should tell everyone it’s America first as soon as we find our voices, and learn how to speak. This growing up thing can be hell. Thank goodness that in our case it is happening quicker than for most.
