	Understanding Republicans:
Why Darwin Was Wrong
		
	
	Churchill was often confused about what he said, as in when he  		said that he was unwilling to liquidate the British Empire by giving  		independence to India and then proceeded to do so by declaring war  		against Germany for the sake of Poland. He said that America would  		always do the right thing after it had tried everything else. Vietnam,  		Iraq and Afghanistan clearly show how wrong he was. He also said that  		the Soviet Union was a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.  		Once again he confused the Soviet Union for the Republican Party. Anyway  		since I lost out in the race to solve Fermat’s Theorem, I went to work  		on analyzing the Republican Party.
I have always been impressed by its ability to morph itself from  		Lincoln’s time to Nixon, “W” and Palin avatars. No shape shifter or  		Proteus could have done better. I attribute the amazing performance to  		the tireless effort of its army of Dicks. Like a programmed Phoenix, it  		rises from the ashes while making ashes of sundry gooks, ragheads and  		other children of lesser gods and unlike a rolling stone gathers a lot  		of American moss on its relentless downhill journey. Along the way it  		has tried everything from lay to delay, strogaqnoof to Abramoff, golf  		parties to tea parties, random to intelligent design, born again to  		rapture while refusing to be a brother’s keeper and proved that no one  		has gone broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American  		public or proselytizing rabid uncaring selfishness. Its lactose  		intolerance is entirely towards the milk of human kindness, as proven by  		its opposition to healthcare, social security, medicaid, medicare, civil  		rights and myriad programs which help the have-nots. Its free market  		policies are really socialism for the powerful and rich by tax breaks  		and subsidies and ruthless Hobbesian jungle capitalism for the common  		and poor people.
My challenge was to find out why like Islam, the Republican Party has  		not evolved or had a reformation. Then one day, I had my Eureka moment  		in the bathroom but it was while using a facility other than a bathtub.  		I realized that the Republican Party had not evolved over eons because  		it was not a product of or susceptible to evolution. It was a product of  		premeditated and deliberate design by an unintelligent creator. I  		retired to a suitable tree and sat under it honing this truth discovery,  		unfazed by stray temptations from sundry Satans or shapely sirens. The  		sheer brilliance of this fundamental truth struck me. This would mean  		that Darwin was finally proved wrong. In Republicans we had  		incontrovertible proof of a species which was not a product of  		evolution. It was incapable of altruism and originated by immaculate  		conception by an unintelligent creator. I immediately dashed off a copy  		of this article to the Nobel Committee for consideration for one of  		their prizes. I was informed that the prize for oxymorons had been  		discontinued after the endowment ran out of money after the economic  		meltdown. The last one was awarded to a chap called O-something-ama.  		Undaunted, I called my astrologer and decided to start a new political  		party in India and an “Ashram” in the USA. That is why you are reading  		it at the Boloji website.
