Probably the only political thing I'll ever post...

If you want to read it, I beg you to read it with an open mind. I didn't write this, but it is a political statement that I was actually willing to read it all the way through. Like I said, open mind please.

This is a political statement in the same fashion that Hitler's speeches were political statements - it doesn't really inform so much as it inflames. Posting just those first two quotes is effective enough - tacking on the portraits of Hitler and Bush implies a comparison that is unreasonable and drives people away rather than draws the attention of their intellect.

And if we don't get that fucker out of office, the end is near.Utter hyperbole. As much as I detest the Bush administration, I think the nation was a much bigger mess to begin with if 8 years of any administration is sufficient to destroy it. (let alone the world, which is what "the end is near" implies ( ... )
