"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods."
Quite actually... I know it sounds weird, but when I mention that I would drop my entire life and mobilize to DC for my president, I get a strange look from people. I am not a gun nut or alt right kind of guy. Just a normal MAGA supporter, who respects the 1,2 amendments very much, and has a great life and 6 figure income... but if Trump asked, I would be in DC within 24 hours... and that’s coming from Idaho!
Another great quote by Mencken:

Either die in a blaze of glory, brilliant but brief. Or die a slow monotonous death by a thousand cuts as each piece of freedom gets eroded.
I'd rather go off like a firecracker on the 4th of July trying to take out commies.
It's better to burn out for freedom, than fade away under tyranny.
Count me in, freedom seeds are ready.

Hoist the 'Betsy Ross' anyway.
One of my all time favorite quotes.
Also from Mencken:
"The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's good-bye to the Bill of Rights."
Blue flag for me, if anyone remembers the old Dreamcast/gamecube RPG "Skies of Arcadia."
diplomacy, love, outrage
He ain't wrong
