A man full of warm, speculative benevolence may wish his society otherwise constituted than he finds it, but a good patriot and a true politician always considers how he shall make the most of the existing materials of his country. A disposition to preserve and an ability to improve, taken together, would be my standard of a statesman. Everything else is vulgar in the conception, perilous in the execution.

i've grown quite tired of this sort of crap, as if there is some virtue in being a part of a corrupt process. in the decades since i was first eligible to vote i have refused to engage in the lie of the ballot box. government's only means of action is force and i have refused to be a part of that violence. while you may choose to go about indulging your need to impose your own ideals on others, many of us prefer change the world by example instead of force. our charity is our own, a personal choice instead of state induced theft. our justice is a matter of morality, not the vengeance of the indignant mob. our security is our own responsibility, not dependent on the illusion of safety fed to those too indolent to care for themselves. our fates are in our own hands, we rely on no half-assed social programs or government hand-outs to ease us through our inevitable failures.
No specifics on the breakdown of the number of individuals represented in each group, except, "African Americans", yes! How irrelevant (maybe), yet, "POLITICALLY correct".
funny!
