Going into an election year, one quote will not do! While the poem is an older one, and the names may have changed, it is certainly relevant.
“Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual.”
– Ayn Rand
And last but far from least:
“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”
– Haile Selassie
GOP Psalms
Bush is my Shepard
I shall know want
He maketh me lie down
On park benches
He polluteth pristine waters
He eulogizes family values
For re-election sake
Yea-
Though I walk through the valley
Of unemployment
And education cutbacks
I fear no evil
Clarence Thomas art with me
He shields me with sailors
They hooketh my tail
He leadeth me past still photos
For Helms sake
He anointeth desert sands
With blood
For mid-east oil
He enriches elitist coffers
Surely embezzlement and fraud
Shall follow him
All the days of his incumbency
And I shall dwell in the kitchen
Barefoot and pregnant forever
Bisous,
Léa
