Patriot Retort: Say, remember the kerfuffle when Donald Trump Junior posted the picture of a bowl of Skittles?
Sure you do!
It was shortly before the 2016 election and DT Jr tweeted this:
I referred to it as “Skittlegate.”
And as you might remember, the makers of Skittles were not amused.
They released a statement saying, “Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don’t feel it’s an appropriate analogy.”
As I wrote at the time:
What part of the word “analogy” are these nitwits not understanding?
This is the problem when your factory default is to look for reasons to be offended.
Let’s be honest. This analogy is spot-on.
Sure, many of those seeking refugee status may be good and decent people. But we know terrorists are lurking among them.
Are we willing to run the risk of letting the wolves through the gate?
(FYI, that’s another analogy. It’s what we in the writing biz call a “metaphor.” News flash from the “Duh” files: Wolves are animals; refugees are people. I’m not saying terrorists are literally wolves any more than Don Junior is saying they are fruit-flavored candy in a tart shell. Oy, the work!).
Well, in his 2018 Christmas Message, Pope Marxist … er, I mean Pope Francis, said this:
*
Also, there’s a T-shirt raffle!
“Refugees” are people. But these fucksticks are NOT refugees. They are disease ridden, criminal, invading cockroaches.
It is tiresome to keep hearing people complain about an analogy that isn’t “perfect”. Analogies are always flawed by definition. If an analogy were perfect it wouldn’t be called an analogy, it would properly be called an identity.
Analogies are illustrative, and not definitional.
And, yes, the skittle bowl is a very good analogy.
Speaking of Pope Narcissus. Get your hands on a copy of Diabolical: How Pope Francis Has Betrayed Clerical Abuse Victims Like Me—and Why He Has To Go – Milo Yiannopoulos
This wicked evil bastard of an anti-Pope’s defenders have morphed into his henchmen. They are all wicked evil bastards who all need to go.

Are analogies ‘like’ or ‘as’?
as
Dumb ass Pope. Who the fug is gonna’ make a mosaic out of poisoned skittles?
Bad enough people have diabetes, now you want to poison them with arts and crafts.
Bro, do you even Jesus?
How come we only the Marxists only want to add to the white tiles? How about we start exporting Vatican Cardinals and various other liberal groups to Somolia?
I am sure that everyone here has watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. The USA is the ONLY repeat ONLY non-homogenous colored country that takes part in the Olympics. White tiles not allowed in Africa, Japan, China, Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Oh, @Uncle Al… Identity is a social construct. So, an analogy is whatever the fortune script of the day says it is. Wait, a minute… Isn’t what it says it is? I’m waiting for the thought of the day. I’ll be appropriately outraged in a bit…
Pope Marxist and John Horseface foreign policy:
If there is peace, we must integrate new cultures.
If there is war, we must balkanize.
Skittles, ungrateful bastards!
Fruit Roll-ups wound suck even more…
Apologies, just realized you all our talking ’bout people,,,
WTF the Pope too?
What’s the best way to scrap this thread away?
Decided, lite a candle for all,
and my boots are showing signs of a future as well.
Have a heart, man. Skillets was lil’ Trayvon’s favorite candy.
Nods Revrum Al Sharton.
How’s the new Caddy treating U!
Skittles have always been my favorite candy, nice and fruity with a good chewy crunchy combo.
…too bad it seems like the pope is even more fruity than the candy.
(I did use lower case P on purpose, no respect for the man. None.)
kerfuffle,
now bushes, great word, awesome reference,,,,
Thanks you sincerely
@Anonymous:
Isn’t the English language simply wonderful? So many meanings for a single word such as “identity” and yet most people are able to identify (!) the proper one from context.
I won’t copy/paste the definitions, but some might find it interesting, even remarkable, that the OED entry for “identity” includes identifiers 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8a, 8b, 9, 10a, 10b, and 10c. Plus a draft entry (from 2005 awaiting the next edition) for “identity theft”.
Now for some Skittles!
What’s the fave candy for little black boys? I always thought “Mike & Ike”, but I may be wrong.
The name cries out to little black boys: “buy me”. (for Trayvon Martin types, it’s “steal me”).
