I, ALONE KNOW THE TRUTH OF POLITICS !!

BEHOLD MY LONG-WINDED DIATRIBES AND TAKE UPON THINE SELF A MEASURE OF MY SUPERIOR WISDOM.

I will impregnate your ignorant eye sockets with a red-hot injection of my truth-sauce.

i'm wearin' dental dams on me eyeballs

Here's the truth of politics...

It's a big stick.

It's a psycho-assault.

It's reducing 'one' to piece and part of 'many'.

Politics is the grindstone that makes feedstock of you and me and him and her.

It's friggin' tyranny dressed up in fine clothes.

Well duh, E pluribus unum dude.
Out of many, one.
That's been the idea from the get go.

It's what attracts the many who discover they can easily manipulate others. Then want a bigger sandbox.

What? To not smile?

When a politician is smiling, does that mean he is unAmerican? Because he got what he wanted? Should you trust a smiling politician?

non serviam. That's Latin. Should we trust a smiling Italian politician - who served whom? Most Italians trusted an always smiling Berlusconi. Should Americans?

"That's unamerican."

Non serviam?

Hell, non serviam is the essence of old-school Americanism!

Along with 'mind your own business and keep your hands to yourself', non serviam is what America, Americanism, Americans are (supposed to be) about.

That America has become a nosey, fat-assed bitch with soft hands, pierced labia, and an obvious desire to follow, is a friggin' shame.

The desire to do for one's self, to zealously claim personal success, to shoulder personal burden, all dying away, replaced by hands out, not striving, blaming the other guy.

America is supposed to be about 'free will' but, nowadays, is about 'determinism'.

'I can' was replaced with 'I can't'.

As I say: a friggin' shame.
