Hail! Seizer!

Share
Since my mind works weird with words, I often hear things incorrectly. My sister probably remembers when I thought Celine Dion was singing, "Steal the Wine" instead of "Still the One". As a result, today I had an interesting thought that segued well to the topic in mind.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about Rome as part of my reading of Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws. I think it's Part 3 where he talks about the Roman Republic, and of course as a result I think about gladiators, baths, and Ceasar. The president was saying something yesterday, and I found myself saying, "Hail Ceasar" when I lighted upon another thought. Obama is the Great Seizer- he will take anything and everything from anyone and everyone.

Despite his massive wealth, he donates less than 1% to charity. His brothers still live in poverty, and I heard his aunt is about to get deported. He has great
health care, school choice, and a black limosine. He just doesn't want YOU to have those things. We should give them our treasure, pay reparations, because we suck and need to apologize for what we have done to the rest of the world. If only government had more of our money, they could use it far better that we could (unless you're Tom Daschle). Obama wants to cut back on emissions which has and will continue to result in layoffs at automobile plants, steel factories, and coal mines, even though those people voted for them.

I saw the old version of the Manchurian Candidate the other day, and one scene really hit home. The Chinese guy, while plotting the overthrow of Western society, talks about how he's headed to Macy's to shop for his wife. Once he gets his way and America goes socialist, such a notion would no longer be possible. They despise our society in the midst of profitting therefrom.


Pretty soon, we'll all be marching around in crisply ironed brown shirts like the Hitler Youth. Beware the dyes and starch!
