Because only nuts seek politics and power.

Who is left?

Canker go run for office.

Now that you thought about it, what feeling do you have at the thought of slogging through the muck to attain political office?

I have thought about it here locally as I am sick of leftist bullshit but the amount of insanity on display and what it would take to clean up the mess would probably get me assassinated.

I have run for political office, Ben. I've run for Mayor, City Council and School Board. My political positions are not what people want and I failed to gain enough votes.

You are exactly correct, only the idiots and the corrupt run for political office because the good people won't have any part of it or they can't get elected because the people don't like their political positions.

More evidence of the corruption of the American people at large.

Yes, the beasts of the field vote for less work and more hay. Of course, what else would they vote for? The question is why are they allowed to vote at all?

The People have the right to be ruled by people better than themselves. To attain this, you can't let them vote since they will only vote for human beasts like themselves.

Remember Boxer in Animal Farm? I feel like there was a time in the US where most Polish, Hunky, Irish immigrants could be trusted to make the right decisions because they broke their fucking backs. That hasn't been true in over 40 years.

Read Down and Out in Paris and London. Orwell was advised not to go too deeply into physical labor. It's very hard to mentally recover from that kind of regimen. Beyond that, being tall and lanky, he admitted that he was at a deep disadvantage as a laborer.

Hitler's devotion to the working man was unique and glorious. But he never thought they could replace the managerial and thinking classes.

I'm not a fan of Orwell. He diagnosed the problem and then ascribed it to the wrong cause. He died a moronic Leftist.

He was slowly getting better. He hated his old comrades, the Russian Communists, towards the end.

When I think of Hillary, I think of that time she burst into tears losing the election to Trump.

This, after her former technician Obama had usurped the boss who lifted him up, and had stolen her first Presidential nomination from her.

The shiite and piss she had to wade through, for all those years, and to get so, so close. All she really was, was once a girl who wanted to be the first female President...so she had written in her high school diaries.

And Obama? I think of the terrified face of that poor little six-year-old boy in Indonesia, trapped and molded as a child "asset" by his CIA parents and grandparents.

He was obviously trafficked as youngster, it's as plain as a searchlight to anyone who knows the signs. He grew up twisted with rage, vowing revenge on the world that made him what he was.

I like that a doer can't ask for more than that.

Right. They're all nuts. Not methodically evil and corrupt, just plain Jane nuts.

Good thinking.

Keep showing us who you are it's not a good look for someone as smug and full of themselves as you are.

Can you imagine a grown man on a serious political/geopolitical form spatting like a Grade-8 girl?

Troll away, Chickbrain.
