Only Clearly Disturbed People Run for President.

I WANTED ALL
THINGS TO SEEM TO
MAKE SOME SENSE,
SO WE COULD ALL BE
HAPPY, YES, INSTEAD
OF TENSE. AND I
MADE UP LIES, SO
THEY ALL FIT NICE,
AND I MADE THIS
SAD WORLD A
PARADISE.

What genuinely motivates Al-Qaeda to kill and self- destruct? The President says, “They hate our freedom – our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other; which surely is what not has been learned from the captives being held in Guantanamo, or what he told in his briefings. Why do the communications industry and our elected politicians allow Bush to get away with such nonsense? And how can there even be peace, and even trust in our leaders, if American people aren’t told the truth?

Well one wishes that those who took over our Federal Government, and hence the world, by means of a Mickey Mouse coup d’etat, who disconnected all the burglar alarms prescribed by the Constitution, which is to say the House and Senate, and the Supreme Court, and We, the people were truly Christian, but as William Shakespeare told us long ago, “The devil can cite scripture for his purpose.”

Only nut cases want to be president. This was true even in high school. Only clearly disturbed people run for president.
