Sullying the position

Sat., March 2, 2013

It is truly amazing how effective this new method of acquiring the American Dream has become. One must now be highly accomplished in distorting facts, covering errors and reversing truth to use this method. At the same time, if one can acquire the unwavering loyalty of the media and attack civil rights in a country where the majority of the population is all heart but brain dead, one could even become president.

Another thing that might help here is to have the showman’s ability to flick away invisible tears while openly displaying compassion concerning a school shooting, thus influencing our emotions to agree with his anti-Second Amendment agenda.

Yes, one should respect the office of the president, but at the same time the one who holds that office should have the integrity that validates that respect.
