The Democrats are Gollum and the press is their ring of invisibility. Or maybe I should call it the presshussss.
I don’t know whether J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired by the Ring of Gyges legend when he wrote Lord of the Rings, but a scholar of his quality would have known his Plato well. In Plato’s Republic, Plato’s brother Glaucon tells the story. A shepherd Gyges found a magic ring that made him invisible. Because he could no longer be seen, he discovered he could commit any crime without consequence and so ultimately murdered his way to becoming king of Lydia. Glaucon concludes:
No man would keep his hands off what was not his own when he could safely take what he liked out of the market, or go into houses and lie with any one at his pleasure, or kill or release from prison whom he would, and in all respects be like a God among men.
Socrates doesn’t fully agree with this and, in fact, in Tolkien, the invisibility ring seems to have some added power of seduction and evil that strips the wearer of his will to justice. But the point remains the same: man’s nature is twisted; broken. Hidden from society, protected from punishment, we are all very likely to descend into evil.
Thus the Democrats, and the left in general.
the demon-rats are worse then Gollum, they are evil demons running to and fro with swift feet to shed blood.
Well, when hatred, deceit, corruption, and divisiveness are all you have to work with…
This is true, of course, only because they mortgaged themselves to the Father of Lies long ago. Consequently, there remains in them no shred of virtue or decency. And thus would they have each and every one of us reduced to their level -- separated from God, and bound in servitude to Satan as they already are.
This is their ultimate agenda, because it is the agenda of him who owns them.
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
