On the Republic
As I have said before, we live in the second worst system of government ever conceived by man. With all others tied for first.
The genius behind the representative republic is the fact that it IS an aircraft carrier, and even the biggest fucktard cannot steer it too horribly wrong in four years. The left gets their hands on it, and spin the wheel as hard to the left as possible, causing general mayhem, and generating a lot of bullshit. When the right gets their hands on it, they tend to try to gently nudge it back to the right again. SO for all those people that have despaired of the election of the Chosen One, I reccomend this brilliant essay by Den Beste, to get you in off the ledge. And remember that in an anarchy, this would mean we WOULD BE well and truly fucked, whereas here, we only have a few years of bs to put up with before the grownups come back and set things aright again.
I agree a representative republic is the the second worst form of government with everything else in first. But the republic is being slowly dismantled. Our protections worn away by those four years of hard to the left and then four years of gentle nudging which never quite takes us back right of center. The grownups haven’t been in charge in quite a while.
BTW Og, that word “fucktard”, it has a nice feel to it. Kinda rolls off the tongue. May I borrow it?
fucktard belongs to Vman. Every time i use it i have to give him a quarter. for you i think he could work a special deal.
I think “fucktard” was first used in the movie Bad Santa (I could be wrong). So was “fuckstick”… I remember my best friend using both words about 4 years ago after he came back from his first tour in Iraq.
Now…a word that I’ve made up about 4 years ago is “returd” – someone who is a dumb piece of shit.
I remember using “fuckstick” when I was in high school. That was 30+ years ago :)
It’s like fashion – wait long enough and everything comes back into usage. LOL
Wow, I really thought it originated with Vman. He’s been around a while.
Before Zero won the election, I consoled myself with the fact that we survived Jimmeh Carter. We will survive Zero also.
(I sure hope!)
The biggest thing I worry about is the gun laws that will get enacted, those hardly ever turn around.
