Clarifying My Dinosaur References

In the post immediately prior I suggest that institutional religion and the right wing GOP as we know it are dinosaursCreatures once fat happy and strongBut who are shouting loudly today not because they have huge powerBut because they are seeking attention in a world that is passing them byWhen I hear their plaintive hostile criesI think of a thousand abused kids still smarting from the incursion of institutional religious venalityAnd of the ominously steely face of Mitch McConnell announcing thatThe country can go to hell in a hand basketJust so long as we rid ourselves of that excrescence in the White HouseThese are the utterances of the doomedThey can redeem themselves only by shedding their Genet-like masks And joining humankind as equals in the move towardGlobal democracyAnd  welcoming the end of the history we made so badyBased on their  hoary hypotheses
