the neanderthal set dominating the right wing these days reminds me of that old tale about the Wolf and Scorpion crossing a river. you know- the one where the wolf helps the scorpion cross the river but ends up getting stung anyway -but not before the Wolf asks “Why did you sting me? Now we’ll both drown?”

And the scorpion responds with “I can’t help it. It’s in my nature.”

Same thing with the paleo-cons. Why do they behave like neanderthals? They can’t help it. It’s in their nature.
