Obama Proves Snowden’s Point

[bvar22]

144. Never read Dune,

and have never been able to sit through the whole Movie either,

BUT, I have read Machiavelli,
and he strongly suggested your above prescription for subduing conquered Towns and Countries:

Step 1) Send in a BRUTAL Dictator who Tortures and Abuses the population without restraint.

Step 2) Send in a guy on a white horse to replace the 1st guy who is marginally better, and the people will welcome him as a savior,
because he is BETTER than the other guy.


Want to make Americans HAPPY about $3/gallon gasoline?

Set the price at $4/gallon, let the people cry and wail for a few months,
then drop it back to $3/gallon and watch them celebrate.




This was inevitable when Party Politics stopped being about ISSUES and POLICIES,
and started being about Just Being a little Better Than the Worst of Two Choices,
or "The Lesser of Two Evils".

I'm OLD enough to remember a time when I enthusiastically voted FOR
someone instead of having to use my vote to BLOCK somebody worse.
