What is Politics and Treasonous thoughts

What is Politics?

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, “What is politics?”
Dad says, “Well , son, let me try to explain it this way: I’m the bread winner of the family, so lets call me Capitalism.
Your Mom, she’s the administrator of the money, so we’ll call her the Government. We’re here to take care of your needs, so we’ll call you the People. The nanny, we’ll consider her the Working class.
And your baby brother we’ll call the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.”
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad had said. Late that night , he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby had severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parents room only to find his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning the little boy says to his father, “Dad, I think I understand the concepts of politics now.”
The father says ”Good, son, tell me in your own words what politics is all about.”
The little boy replies, “Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored, and the Future is in deep doo- doo .”………

No matter how you look at it, I think we are going to get screwed.


from "The Old King"

He will mark our goings,
Question whence we came,
Set his guards about us,
All in freedom's name,

He will take a tribute,
Toll of all our ware,
He will change our gold for arms
That we may not bear.

You can drink the lies of paradise
While the books on the shelves disappear
You can make a comfortable living
You can swear it can't happen here.

And maybe they'll come for the unionists
And maybe they'll come for the Jews
And maybe they'll come for the heretics
But they'll never come for you.

When you hear the step in the hallway
When you taste the iron fear
No use going shouting out for justice
'Cause there's no one left to hear.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Theodore Roosevelt


And with this last post if I am no longer welcome I shall bid you all farewell.

No way!!! Please don't go, Greah! I would be really upset! I love reading everything that you post and if people around here can't take a different opinion then their own it is their fault and I think extremely childish. Please don't go!

Well if you were unwelcome here it would be by only fifty percent of the people. So what? you going to pull a Kerry because fifty percent don't go for what you say? I enjoy your view on politics. You will probably have secret service reading your posts and possibly questioning you , but hey your a tough guy :)

Graeh - You are my hero! Don't go anywhere! When I'm hauled away to Guantanamo too I atleast want to know someone there! As for us "50%", though others may call us un patriotic, and suggest for us to "Love it or leave it" - this is our country too - we love it and we are staying! We have just as much right as you to let our cries be heard.

now why would we want you to go anywhere?
You are an asset to this group, and everyone enjoys your stories.....

If we all shared the same beliefs this world would be very boring.
You have every right to say your peace. You've been there..done that, you have every right.
