Right Message - Wrong Story - Right Context

Topics: America The Beautiful

Islam = terrorism = Evil. ... The Reason America Can Do No Wrong: 1.) We are the good guys. 2.) We are noble like an eagle. 3.) We punish evil doers. 4.) We saved England's (and Europe's) ass in WW2. 5.) We are cowboys with cojones . (I couldn't resist a bit of editing).

Chad at In The Bullpen has the story, in which he appropriately frames within the context of the political rules of the Arab's Parallel Universe.

Take home message: Arabs have their own versions of reality, and always frame their versions of reality within the 7 political rules of the Arab Parallel Universe: 1) Arabs never make mistakes, and they rarely lose wars. 2) The Zionists and the Americans are always to blame for everything that is wrong in the APU. 3) If there is any credit at all that can be contributed to Arabs in any way, they will take it. 4) Good leadership is inversely related to how US-friendly a leader is! 5) Any media that is not the official state-owned media is filled with Zionist, Jewish, American, Christian, imperialist, anti-arab influences and they LIE ALL THE TIME! 6) There is really no need for elections in the APU, because Presidents and rulers are presidents and rulers for life. 7) The only viable alternative candidate to the current leader or president is this current leader or president's son. (Hat tip - Egyptian Sandmonkey)

And having been inspired by Chad's post and Egyptian Sandmonkey's summary of the Arab parallel universe, I've come up with my own summary of our American left-wing Democrat's parallel universe:

Good DPU, but there's something that I think you missed in relation to what you already wrote. Allow to me help out.

1. Democrats never make mistakes, and they rarely lose wars. They get the nation involved in many more than Republicans, but they leave office before the war is over and then blame Republicans on entering the nation in said war.
3. If there is any credit at all that can be contributed to Democrats in any way, they will take it. They will also take errors made in the past and hail them as sucessful ventures (i.e. North Korea) to blame upon current Republican leadership.
4. Good leadership is inversely related to how Democratic-friendly a U.S. president is, and everything George Bush does is wrong and is to be attacked, but if Republicans fight back then they are both challenging the Democratic patriotism and playing politics with national security. Only Democrats can politicize national security justly.

Overall good list though. Heh.

Subject: Another
This is too much fun so I came up with another that I believe is fitting, though not quite worded the same.

8. Liberals are pristine human beings of high intelligence who know better than anyone else what is best for the entire nation while Conservatives are backwoodsy creatures that care more for guns than humanity. Democrats recognize the plight of mothers to be and give them a choice to end their own child's life whereas Republicans want to take away that basic right of choice. Because Liberals are the enlightened souls, they firmly believe ending the life of a baby is part of humanity whereas a gun sitting in a gun safe should be against the law because one day that gun might kill someone.

9. Under Republican leadership the government becomes incredibly totalitarian even though it is the Democrats who wish to place restrictions upon the Second Amendment, businesses, speech and re-write parts of the United States Constitution that their own intellectualy superior minds deem inappropriate in today's society. Furthermore, any person of higher thinking that challenges our assertions are kicked out of positions of power (i.e. Larry Summers) or cast aside as defective.

Okay, two more and that's about it for me.

Chad,
Have added 8 and 9 to the post.

The DPU is probably worth a post of its own:
