A Squad of Bunny-boilers

Nobody could forget the inherent vindictiveness of the female villain in the 90’s movie Fatal Attraction – the proverbial woman scorned played impeccably by actress Glenn Close. The adulterous protagonist, who eventually rejects her advances after “knowing her” in the biblical sense, comes home one day to find his daughter’s beloved pet rabbit boiling on the kitchen stove. 

Unfortunately, bunny-boilers, with their crazed vindictiveness, are not just confined to fictional tales but often make their way into politics. It seems that some folks have a fatal attraction to harridans in office, perhaps thinking that female political power may lead to more compassionate political outcomes, but nothing could be further from the truth. They just help drive a country further into Hell. 

Four Congresswomen of colour, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib have made a name for themselves trashing the United States of America. It got them elected to the lower house. 

AOC famously said in a recent interview, “Where we are is not a good thing…this idea of like ten percent better than garbage isn’t… shouldn’t be what we settle for.  And it’s like, it feels like ‘moderate’ is not a stance it’s just an attitude towards life.”

Yes, it is clear that AOC despises anything moderate.  She’s a radical in every sense of the word, right down to her radically nasal baby-duck quacking voice and ugly-on-the-ear vocal fry. A voice such as Alexandria's could give a listener ear cancer in five minutes. 
 
Palestinian-American Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, went on record for endorsing the impeachment of President Trump when she said at her swearing-in party (pun not intended), “We’re gonna go in and impeach the mother-fucker!”   

As irony would have it, there exists a petition with well over a quarter of a million signatories to have Representative Tlaib impeached, for, amongst other things, lying about her place of abode during the primary election and her anti-American, antisemitic and anti-Israel stance.

Somalian-born Ilhan Omar has made many antisemitic statements, but it is her constant whining through a buck-tooth grin about America being bigoted against Muslims that really gets the blood – instead of the bunnies – boiling.  

At a recent Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) event, Omar complained about Muslims being treated as second-class citizens.  This is a very peculiar complaint considering that she is herself a hijab-wearing Muslim woman who has been elected to Congress, as her Muslim friend and colleague, Rashida Tlaib, also has. Try doing that as a woman in Mogadishu, Iran or Saudi Arabia. The American Congress is hardly the land of second-class citizens. Despite her antisemitism, Omar, unfortunately, also serves on the House Committee of Foreign Affairs.

Astoundingly, Representative Ayanna Pressley of Philadelphia vociferated unequivocally into a microphone at the progressive activists’ Netroots Convention over the weekend: 
 
"If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don’t even show up because we need you to represent that voice!"

Brown face, brown voice.  Black face, black voice.  This is the very essence of identity politics writ large and the utter antithesis of Martin Luther King’s words: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

I’d wager fairly that King also meant that the colour of his children’s skin would not dictate their political views.

Obviously, King’s message was lost on the African-American Pressley.  For shame!
This squad of bunny-boilers represent the outright hate and racism which jumps off every page of the identity politics playbook.
 
This radical communist clique (they call themselves social democrats – but then communists always do), have unbelievably called for Homeland Security to be dismantled and defunded and have also called for Immigration & Customs Enforcement to be completely abolished. 

“America is for everyone,” they assert, which is a euphemism for “America is for no-one” since, without a border, without enforceable laws and without legal citizens, there would literally be no country.

America’s racist!  America’s bigoted!  America’s garbage!  America’s history stinks!  America runs concentration camps!  America’s led by a Nazi!  America’s ICE agents are Nazis!  America’s police are Nazis!  America’s deplorable!  Capitalism’s irredeemable!  America’s homophobic!  America’s Islamophobic!  America’s sexist!  America’s no good!

These are the constant cries the harridans’ squad of bunny-boilers shriek out whenever they’re in front of a microphone, as they attempt to turn their country into something way outside the scope of its founders’ benevolent vision.
​ 
In a long-overdue response of rationality, President Trump finally tweeted out his thoughts about them: “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done.”

“Amen, Brother Trump!” many people breathed aloud. 

Never mind that most of the squad, except for Ilhan Omar, were born on American soil, the gist of the message from their President was loud and clear – “If you hate America so much, why don’t you just leave?”

“Seeeeeeeee?  The President is a racist!”  They screamed with enthusiastic glee, blanking-out the fact that the president’s so-called racism is marked by a very strange hue when he exhorts them to “then come back” (and show us how it is done). 
 
Disagreement with bunny-boilers over anything, makes us all racists and sexists, all of the time. This constant smearing and negative labelling happens to be one of the best-loved Rules for Radicals from Saul Alinsky:
 
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

The trouble for this squad of bunny-boilers is that they’re grossly overplaying their hand by forgetting one of Alinsky’s other Machiavellian rules – a very important one: 

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”  Don’t become old news.

Here they’ve royally screwed-up. They’ve desensitised us all to the word “racist” and it is now devoid of any true meaning.  When everyone is a racist, no one is a racist – even those who are actually racist. This smear tactic has been deployed too often and for too long.  It’s lost its punch.  Instead, it makes them look crazed, unhinged and spitefully vindictive, resembling women scorned - the types of women who might boil a family’s pet bunny if they thought it would score a political point.
