How Many Democrats Can Dance on the Head of a Pin?

With a dubious origin, the question “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” has some relevance to the last two months of political wrangling. The question might have its origins as far back as the fall of Constantinople as “academics” (scholars) debated it during the siege. Or it might have originated in Protestant refutations or satires associated with Scholastic theologians and philosophers. Whatever its origin, the question might well be on our minds today as Americans face various problems associated with out-of-control spending, a hegemony by Russia, and a belligerent Iran, N. Korea, and China. Just how would we word the modern version?


Try this one: How many male athletes can play on a girls’ team? If the Democrats insist on putting males on girls’ teams, could entire teams be composed of males? There isn’t, it, seems, a finite limitation. Like the proverbial angels on the head of a pin, males could play in indefinite numbers on a girls’ team. The whole league could be composed of males.


Apparently, Democrats are more concerned about including males to the exclusion of females than they are about waste, fraud, and abuse in government agencies. They would rather scream or sing songs to rail against efficiency than supporting efforts to prevent American tax dollars being stolen. They are very much like those academics in Constantinople
