1. "It'd be a heckuva lot easier if this were a dictatorship..."
"Just so long as I'm the dictator." -- George W. Bush.

An actual quote.


What will it take for the idiot masses to WAKE UP?

2. But the sheeple LOVE dictators
And they love to 'long for' the benevolent ones. German-influenced autocratic family systems at work. Repubs have become the "stern fathers" and Dems are the "nurturing mothers."

And as long as the Corporate Media feed us our talking points, no one will talk seriously about election reform, universal health care, or organized labor. Shit that actually matters.
