WISH I HAD ME SOME FROU-FROU FRILLY SLEEVES

From our neighborhood Protector of the Republic^TM we get the following:

MosesKnows: i don't know if kerry is a coward, although on reflection he does seem a coward, but he clearly was a liberal who wants america to become a democracy.

When I hear this nonsense from MK, I imagine him back in colonial times, sitting in an ornate rocking chair at his writing desk, quilled pen in one hand, and the breast of his teenage colored maid in the other. She's in his lap with her top pulled down, as he tries to write a letter without her tumbling onto the floor. "My dear TJ," he writes, "we simply must be extra specially certain not to allow any of the riff-raff, like shipwrights, farmers, and, dare I say it, blacksmiths, the vote. It simply wouldn't do for just any old person, or, god forbid, a woman to choose leaders. No, no, it is obviously just and right that only men such as you or I make those decisions. Trust a woman to vote? Ha, I'd sooner marry a negro. Your dear friend, MosesKnows." He'd seal up the letter, and toss it to his houseboy to deliver. Then he'd heave a sigh, knowing that the letter wouldn't reach TJ for months. If only they'd invent a topless-colored-girl-to-topless-colored-girl Email system...

Seriously, you always hear from the Superpatriots^TM that America is so much better because we aren't a democracy. Of course, what they mean is that our Founding Fathers were right to limit the vote to landed white men, and all the advances in the interim, like the 14th Amednment, the Civil Rights Act, etc, have all sent this country down the crapper because now all the wretched scum can vote. I don't think most people are pining for a government based in wealth and priviledge. Oh wait, that's what we have now...

MK seems to be playing on a gameboard no one else can see. I imagine him locked up in a 10 by 10 cell. The doctors will only give him blocks to play with now, because whenever they give him something sharp, he cuts himself and writes, "All democracy and no republic makes MosesKnows a dull boy," on the walls in blood over and over and over...
