Fred Thompson, Ronald Reagan, and the Goldilocks Republicans
If either McCain or Huckabee is the nominee, I plan to walk into the voting booth and pull straight Democrat. If “Americans” want Socialism, I plan to make sure they get it “good and hard”. Maybe after enough living like Eastern Europeans in the 1950′s, they’ll be ready to be free again.
Rudyard Kipling, The Gods of the Copybook Headings
“And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four -
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
* * * * *
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man -
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began -
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire -
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!”
