"Doesn't work that way."

They will attack with bad form. They will become flustered and apoplectic in their urge to prove that it is their RIGHT to rule -- or else doublethink at us and pretend that Democratic Republic isn't just a LIE -- a clever and convoluted lie, like Satanist Christians, or dry water.
Reduction to absurdity -- reductio ad absurdem. They will attempt to railroad and deceive. The politics of the slaveowner are what those who really want OBJECTIVE DEMOCRACY face. They are facing it in Venezuela -- and Chavez is just another slaveowner, getting over. |
