I hope everyone here is joking--you have heard of this saying, right?

Can't say I have.

 

Akuma is a die har Democrat, so maybe he has heard this one:

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

Sadly, most Americans don't seem to take that advice anymore.

 

Edit: It was also a joke that I hadn't heard the saying.

I'll tell you what I am going to do for my country in a few days.  Vote out a party that has completely abused its power in office and has made a mockery of our entire system of government, the American people, our good name as a country, and even what this very country stands for.

If that isn't doing something for my country I don't know what is.

I also do as much as I can to stay informed about what is going on in this country, in our government, and across the globe.  That is a person's duty as a citizen as much as anything else, to watch what your government is doing.

And my family is in the top 2% of Americans, so we pay a lot of taxes.  And I am in school to become an attorney, so I will also be in one of the higher income tax brackets myself when I graduate.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
