2008 Minneapolis Billboard Welcoming The "GOP" To The Republican National Convention
***
In the name of "perfection," WOPs struggle to disenfranchise millions of registered voters pretending -- even to themselves -- that they are honorably determined to pursue The Very Last Malfeasant who votes twice or votes illegally.
The likelihood that an American will vote illegally
is about the same as being struck by lightning.
Twice.
The Impossibly Pure Principles of American Neo-Puritans are not just ill-informed,
they are intrinsically evil.
In the words of of Trappist monk, Father Thomas Merton:
"The terrible thing about our time is precisely the ease with which theories can be put into practice. The more perfect, the more idealistic the theories, the more dreadful is their realization. We are at last beginning to rediscover what perhaps men knew better in very ancient times, in primitive times before utopias were thought of: that liberty is bound up with imperfection, and that limitations, imperfections, errors are not only unavoidable but also salutary. The best is not the ideal. Where what is theoretically best is imposed on everyone as the norm, then there is no longer any room even to be good.
The best, imposed as a norm, becomes evil.”
"Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander,” by Trappist monk, Father Thomas Merton

I asked the kind lady from the League of Women Voters whether there was anything else I needed --- perhaps a blood sample or a DNA swab.
At that moment I resolved to follow the Repugnican lead of renaming "The Democratic Party," "The Democrat Party" by renaming "The GOP," "The WOP."
The White Oligarch Party.
From now on, GOP partisans are WOPs - White Oligarch Partisans.
How vile are these people? ... these zealous destroyers of Democracy?
