"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

It is certainly conceivable that a new spirit of resistance could rise in America, spread itself around the country, and achieve in time a more populist, or popular, alternative to the increasingly despised and despaired of system with which Americans are saddled and bridled today.

The author writes: "One need not be 'racist' to respond to newspaper photographs and film footage of Obama, standing behind a podium bearing the presidential seal, with feelings of simple incredulity." Not when you look at his opponent. Since the advent of television, it has always been the better looking and more charismatic individual who wins. True, the 2000 election was a close call, but the theory still proved true.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all you need to know about the uselessness of electing a president to preside over hundreds of millions of people, the vast majority of whom couldn't give a damn. The death-oriented machinery of coercive government put a life-like corpse in front of the cameras to beam his perfect smile, but life orientation will move on, with me alone if it has to. The Tea Party will die out as well, unless they embrace life and stop trying to "take back America."
