– Mark 4:25<\/p>\n
government.<\/p>\n
than to bother to do due diligence<\/p>\n
than to admit any error ourselves.<\/p>\n
that a politician should refrain from uttering it.<\/p>\n
even to the point of killing them,
than to countenance losing our riches.<\/p>\n
that does not present a good opportunity for us to make profits.
Where such an opportunity does not exist,
it falls to government to create one.<\/p>\n
and no end to the power that safeguards that freedom.
Where voices are raised in opposition,
we must buy them off, or rubbish them, or crush them.<\/p>\n
as an arena for competition, not cooperation.
Blessed are the strong.<\/p>\n
In the jungle of the Right.
What mortal mind or agency
Dares challenge our supremacy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
