Unifying political thought

[MadScientist]

The major problem – one of the major problems, for there are several – one of many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact, that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

I would summarize it as: People who most want to rule people are the problem.

That concept amounts to that sick liberal philosophical tool, MORAL EQUIVALENCE.

It basically says, those on the side of Truth, Justice, and the American Way who seek leadership positions are no better than those seeking leadership positions who want to inflict tyranny, ignorance, poverty, etc. on people.

No, dear. It says that those who seek leadership roles are unqualified to lead based on the fact that they wish to lead in the first place...making them, in fact, worse than the rest of us.

Heller said it more succintly and better.

Which, as I said, is a sweeping generalization lumping the pieces of crap from your side--like Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and a myriad of others who want to inflict their rottenness on the good people of America in with those on our side who want to keep this country the magnificent place it is.

That is the same old shit--MORAL EQUIVALENCE--which your sick side of the spectrum uses to drag down a lot of good people seeking to do good things in politics by equating them to leftist assholes.

If you would just stop for a second and think before typing you'd realize that assholes are by nature centrists.

But seriously, "the same old shit"? Nobody exemplifies that better than you with your big bag of "sick," "twisted," "rotten," wind. Could you at least work on diversifying the vocabulary of your rants?

Is all you've been spouting this whole election cycle. People have finally realized that is is pure shit. Only a complete fucktard like you, BinLadensBitch, still believes it.

Yeah maybe, but Douglas Adams was hysterical!

R.I.P., Doug, you were a prince! You died too early. I guess, God needed a few chuckles.
