I urge all readers to write in my name for President. My platform? Bring the troops home and have them arrest all congressmen, party hacks, neo-con advisors (regardless of whether they are still in government or are now making millions of dollars screwing up other areas of the world, e.g., Wolfowitz) and give them an ultimatum: leave the country or I will hang every last one of you. I reserved this platform for congressmen in my earlier post, but I felt the need to have more DIVERSITY in my program.

Sad thing is, it really isn't satire is it? Allen Wilson at reply #3 also had a nice add on with the Trotskyite label of the GOP. Still can't believe the millions of members of the Christian Right that can't see that they are being set up for total annihilation by backing members of the secualr left. Almost has me being ashamed of being a Christian! The best satire I have read in a long time. Sad thing is, it really isn't satire is it?

If neoconservatism is at core Trotskyite, then it has been a HUGE success. God save us.

Of course, that's exactly what the elitist officials want -- a distraction so that they can accuse us of not paying attention. We are paying attention to a crooked roulette game that is done without any panche whatsoever. It's a bit like being mugged and giving up your wallet while providing no resistance whatsoever. @22 polemicscat
