This Explains A Lot

The history of liberalism according to my uncle:
The RNC teaches us that it was the hubris of men that brought the liberals into our world. The democrats had sought to usurp heaven but instead they destroyed it. They were cast out, twisted, and cursed by their own corruption. They returned as monsters. The first of the darkspawn. They became a blight upon the land.

What he did was genius. This is the opening voiceover from a supporting character in the video game Dragon Age: Origins. The amazing thing is how accurately it can be applied to the modern democratic party. He hardly had to change anything to make it work. Don't believe me? Compare it with the original transcription:
The Chantry teaches us that it was the hubris of men that brought the darkspawn into our world. The mages had sought to usurp heaven but instead they destroyed it. They were cast out, twisted, and cursed by their own corruption. They returned as monsters. The first of the darkspawn. They became a blight upon the land.

As you can see he only changed 3 words out of the whole paragraph. I doubt the developers of the game were going for that kind of subtext but it is still interesting to muse upon. Especially considering how the liberals are trying to twist the United States into their own image and curse humanity for all time...
