(The main characters of SUPERNATURAL are the Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean. They are "Hunters". Not of game animals...but of supernatural evil creatures.)
Turns out, it has a few good lessons for us.
First, it teaches us to categorize the creatures we're dealing with here; to sort out their characters, to figure out their ultimate goals, to research their weakness & vulnerabilities, to choose our weapons accordingly, and plan our attack strategically.
It's summarized by Dean's (seemingly) simple question, "Okay, how do we kill it?"
So, let's Categorize:
Let's start at the "top" with Demons:
- Demons are more or less at the top of the evil food chain, though some are more intelligent and more powerful than others; there is a definite hierarchy. They sow destruction and chaos. They enjoy power and control over others, they enjoy causing suffering, privation and death to humans, they use fear as a weapon. They are are vengeful, mean, cruel. They hate mankind. They consider themselves a superior race. They are the spawn of Lucifer. Examples: Woodrow Wilson, George Sørøs, Cass Sunstein, Ezekial Emanuel, Osama bin Laden.
- Vampires are soulless camp-followers. In the midst of demon-created destruction and chaos they suck the substance from the living and healthy. They exploit it to fill themselves up with the life-blood of others...in the service of their rapacious appetites. Examples: Al Gore, Al Sharpton, Goldman Sachs, General Electric, Franklin Raines, Rahm Emanuel.
- These are the soul-dead, mindless victim-followers of the demons, shuffling around every inner city, welfare office, faculty lounge, red-carpet event, and newsroom. Examples: Chris Matthews, Susan Sarandon, Black Panthers, Cindy Sheehan, Keith Olbermann.
The Winchester boys found a demon killing blade, and a special Colt that "could kill anything". Providence provided. I doubt these are appropriate for our particular breed of demons...but surely Providence will provide what we need if we have the courage to join the fight.
No longer victims, HUNTERS.

Either this is a brilliant analysis...or I REALLY need to step away from the television.
