Hello there, Mr. Daley,
I must congratulate you. You finally did it. Last night, you announced to the American people what I wanted. Last week it was Mr. Coffey and Mr. Christopher, and before that it was Mr. Gore. I kept quiet about it. I refused to be dragged into this cesspool you are creating.But last night was the last straw. I want to make a few things clear to you and your cronies.
You don't speak for me. I think you are a fool and a liar. Mr. Coffey doesn't speak for me either. I think he is a slimeball and a cheap tool. Mr. Christopher doesn't speak for me. I think he's a drugged out zombie. Mr. Gore doesn't speak for me, either. I won't even get into my opinion of him. And I know who Mr. Gore is taking his marching orders from. You all have the right to occupy space here, and I won't argue that. My father died one night in a jungle protecting your right to be here.
But you need to understand something: I know what you pussbuckets are trying to do. You are trying to erode the very fabric of this country. I know how you are trying to do it. You are trying to create a rift between the people of the United States. I even know why you are trying to do it. You are trying to do it because you don't care about the citizens of this country very much. You care more for what you think they need but are too miserable, unfortunate and ignorant to understand. You care about you. You are like the professional wrestling of politics. Your solution to what is wrong in the United States is to take everything down to the lowest common denominator. You want the lowest educational denominator, the lowest ethical denominator, the lowest religious denominator and the lowest moral denominator.
It won't work on me. I know your tricks. 100 years ago, when you and your buddies started all this, I wasn't even born. But I am old enough to see the changes. When I was a kid, I went to church every Sunday. I read Shakespeare in high school, and I understood the words. I read lots of books. I went to college, and I graduated, and I paid for it all myself. Before I got to college, I had never heard of marijuana or Ritalin, I knew how to spell two syllable words, I could do trig and geometry, and I could speak three different languages. And I went to an ordinary public school in a medium-sized city in the Midwest. Worst of all for you, I learned to think. I know it's unfortunate and frightening to you, but I still remember how to think. I can see facts and draw accurate conclusions. I'm getting older now, and at some point I won't be around and you won't have to worry about me, but until that day, I'll be here, and I'll be fighting you. You've now taken it to the professional wrestling level with me.
It may surprise you to learn that many people in this country are onto you. We know when you say, "It's not about politics, it's about the will of the people." you are really saying, "The people are too stupid and ignorant to understand what we are really doing, and if we just give them a red herring catch phrase and wave our hands in front of them a few times, we can take over while they smile at us." We know when you say, "The people are disenfranchised." that you got that word from some psychologist and decided to use it to hypnotize anyone that can't see what you are really doing, and that the cleaving of the population of this country is being orchestrated by you. We know when you say, "Fair and accurate count", that what you are really saying is, "We like the law as long as it serves our purpose, but when it doesn't we'll just 'fix things' so we win anyway." We know when you say, "What do you mean by 'is', that what you are really saying is, "Yeah, I'm married and that little rump roast blew me at work. So what? What's the big deal?"
I have more bad news. Since we are readers, we have read some books. We also know that to control and rule a population, it is much, much easier when they are passive and stupid. If you reduce the level of education over a period of time, and drug everyone at the same time, eventually you'll be able to control everything. In the interim, of course, you'll have to figure out some way to divide people so they all get angry at each other and fight. Then you can just sit back, wait for the inevitable outcome, gather in the remaining flock, tell them that they are now not "disenfranchised", and really get busy with some serious raping and pillaging. Your problem is me. I am smart and educated. I am not a bigot or a racist or a criminal or a doper or an adulterer or a damned lying sack of poo. I am not angry at the world for my terrible condition. I don't think the government owes me a big favor every morning when I wake up. I am not any of the things that you and Al and Jesse and Warren and the rest of you rascals want me to be so you can point to your minions and say, "He's the enemy of the people, disenfranchise his ass"!
I'm actually pretty happy. Well, let me rephrase that. Up until last week, I thought I was pretty happy. But then I saw that you bastards were going to try and screw with my family, my friends, and me again. I'm not going to get really mad about it, just because I know that you want me to get mad and fight about it. I'm not going to use your tactics, because your tactics are illegal. But I want you to know this: you won't win. I know what you are trying to do, and I won't let it happen. There is no way in hell that I will allow you to do what you are trying to do. Nobody is going to destroy this country on my watch. I don't blame you, I blame myself for allowing you to do what you are doing and doing nothing about it. And I am not alone.
Now, you sanctimonious, petulant, and arrogant lug wrench, crawl back in your old dirty tool box and stop telling other people what I want. You don't have a God damned clue what I want.
