The Demoplican Republicrats peddle government benefits like a heroin dealer giving some junkie a free sample to get them HOOKED on Medicare, Social Security, Agribusiness Subsidies, School Loans, and the like.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scylla_and_Charybdis

Rural white church-goer who dislikes abortion and likes militarists dropping bombs and cops locking up dope fiends – you can join Scylla who protects you from Charybdis. Urban minority secular comfortable with abortion who likes to help the poor – you can join Charybdis who protects you from Scylla.

Bottom line – the Welfare-Warfare State.

Still, EXPORTING DEMOCRACY is a great idea. It should be exported into a dumpster, taken out to sea and buried! Bring back a constitutional REPUBLIC!

Invoking Adams, Jefferson, Madison, is to appeal to dead, white, slaver, males (never mind Buchanan’s baggage). Citing Plato or Aristotle – who dey be?

And just as despair is about to ruin my day and a weekend, comes Jamshed – and there’s hope. Jamshed’s brilliance comes at the very end of this article.

If we haven’t yet learned from history, why persist? Why not rather do like John Galt and leave society altogether until the democrats have “democratized” themselves into extinction?
