And over the aching years
of pained humility
I realized the worth
of feigned utility.
The Holy Tax
God’s command, demanded by Cheats
benevolent charity keeps the pews clean
and filthy desperation in the streets.
Yes, ushering in years of
the gaudy masses
whilst desperation burned yonder
reveals deluded asses.
Things I’ve come to terms with:
So when Obama gets re-elected and doesn’t have to worry about votes anymore
are you guys going to start criticizing him for
- expanding executive power
- more wars
- drone strikes
- his administration’s horrible record on transparency
- warrantless wiretapping
- corporate collusion
- deporting more immigrants in 3.5 years than Bush did in 8
and a dozen other awful violations of civil liberties and abuses of power?
No. You won’t.
You only care that he paid lip service to gay rights and passed a health-care law that coerces you into buying health insurance from the greedy insurance companies you purport to hate.
Not that things would be different under Romney.
But, maybe then, you guys would actually criticize a president for having a kill list with no oversight.
Enjoy your victory. You’ve advanced America.
