Fables are said to be fictions that point to the truth. Aesop the fable writer was a slave who lived in Ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. The Tortoise and the Hare is one of Aesop’s Fables and is an account of a race between unequal partners. It contains a common folktale theme in which ingenuity and trickery are employed to overcome a stronger opponent.
So here we are 2,500 years later with the 2013 Marco Rubio perversion of the same tale. Rubio’s fiction that our immigration laws are broken sets the stage for his legislation granting “rabbits” (illegal aliens) not only a lead at the starting line –ahead of those patiently waiting for the legal process to work (the tortoises) – but practically lets them begin at the finish line. Rubio, the “Gang of Eight”, politicians sacrificing principle for political power, and the radical –often Marxist- Hispanic useful idiots pushing for even more liberalization (or outright elimination) of our immigration laws represent the “ingenuity” (read political dissembling –another Marxist technique) and trickery to outwit the “stronger opponent”. In this case, the “stronger opponent” is the will of the majority of the American people.
This is not a new tactic. The moral fabric of American society has been undermined by the intelligentsia, judicial activism, spineless politicians, and “blackmail by riot” of minorities for decades. What is being ignored is the inevitable truth of this fable: Rubio’s fiction contained in the immigration “reform” bill will have the same exponential and catastrophic consequences on the American Identity as Ted Kennedy’s “reform” did.
