What the Hell is a canckerworm?
“What the Hell is a canckerworm?” Hillary Clinton.
It’s a major pest - defoliating millions of trees. Trying to protect them is utterly stupid, like trying to protect poison ivy or black widow spiders.
But they want to kill any baby they can get their forceps on.
You can’t make this stuff up.
I believe it is a type of ‘locust’. The irony is that “It spoileth and fleeth away” ( Nahum 3:16). Very similar to the monsters promoting this infanticide.
Cankerworm
(Heb. yelek), “the licking locust,” which licks up the grass of the field; probably the locust at a certain stage of its growth, just as it emerges from the caterpillar state ( Joel 1:4 ; 2:25 ). The word is rendered “caterpillar” in Psalms 105:34 ; Jer 51:14,17(but RSV “canker-worm”). “It spoileth and fleeth away” ( Nahum 3:16 ), or as some read the passage, “The cankerworm putteth off [i.e., the envelope of its wings], and fleeth away.”
