Politickles

Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:

FIFTH COLUMN
Our brave battle for self-preservation
Must address the domestic predation
Of those traitors and fools
– All those socialist tools –
Who are hoping to change our great nation.

From the archive:

DREAM JOB
“How things change from day to day,
What’s taboo becomes okay:
Though once arrested
For having molested,
I now work for TSA!”
(2010)

NEW DEPARTS
When I travel by air now and then,
The security staff wave me in:
I don’t have to be scoped
Or publicly groped,
I just hand them a lewd 8×10.
(2010)

CORDOBA
Like a swaggering conquering hero,
Rauf is building a mosque at Ground Zero
– Where some 3000 bodies
Were interred by jihadis –
And Obama just fiddles like Nero.
(2010)

OBAMA DOCTRINE
There’s no need for a war on terror.
Just say no to the c’est-la-guerrer.
Everything will be ducky
As long as we’re lucky
And the terrorist makes an error.
(2010)

TAKEOFF
“With security lapses reviewed
On Flight 253, we conclude:
Due to differing beliefs
About bombs in one’s briefs,
Every passenger now must fly nude.”
(2010)

SUBMISSION
These new guidelines are certainly odd:
“We must never denounce the jihad;
We must never demean
The mujahideen,
As they force us to worship their god.”
(2008)

EXORBITANT PROPHET
“Western nations will suffer and bleed
Until all of their peoples concede
That the faith of our lord,
Although spread by the sword,
Is in essence a peace-loving creed.”
(2006)

FOCUS
Nine-Eleven enlivened our actions
And completely dispersed our distractions:
For the briefest duration
We were truly one nation,
Then we quickly conformed to our factions.
(2006)

WORLD FREEDOM
If freedom can come to Romanians,
Albanians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians,
Why must others abide
While their freedom’s denied:
Brother Syrians, Saudis, Iranians?
(2006)

GOOD HUNTING
The September 11th attack
Justifies our crusade in Iraq.
Go ahead, G.I. Joe:
Take the fight to the foe
And make sure that they never come back.
(2003)

PROFILES IN CARNAGE
Multiculturalism assails
Common sense until it fails:
Screeners x-ray granny
And pat down the nanny,
But ignore young Arab males.
(2002)

MAN DATE
The September 11th attack
Put America back on track,
But the nags at NOW
Are having a cow
‘Cause the Macho Man is back!
(2002)

BORN-AGAIN PATRIOTS
Those Boomers bred on blame
Have recovered from their shame:
They fly the flag
And do not gag
On the Pledge they now proclaim.
(2001)

SEPTEMBER 11TH
Kissed my loved one at the door.
No idea what lay in store.
In the tower
Not an hour.
Now my loved one is no more.
(2001)

Last week’s limerick:

ONNA STOODINT
“in are distrik we, de bestes
way mutch, betta den de restes
we mist, lotsa daze
but gots, strat A’s
cuz are teacha, fixt are testes”

“McCarthyism” is a noxious term, so much so that any public figure accused of it becomes an instantaneous pariah. “McCarthyism” is also an ironic term, for two reasons. First, Senator Joseph McCarthy never engaged in any of the tactics associated with the term “McCarthyism.” He did not make wild, unsubstantiated charges against hundreds of innocent people. He smeared no
one. Second, the few dozen government employees that McCarthy did accuse

of being Communists were just what he said they were. There was sufficient evidence then to warrant investigation of the figures he named. In the last four decades, the guilt of these persons has been firmly established. – F.R. Duplantier, Behind The Headlines, 2001

USSR, 1959: I am a “young pioneer” in school. History classes remind us that there is a higher authority than our parents and teachers: the leaders of the Communist Party.

USA, 2009: “Progressives” control the government. Children in some public schools sing songs about the president and study his directives. – Svetlana Kunin

Is anyone paying attention?

There seems to be a law of the universe that states that any so-called independent organization whose existence can be used to attack capitalism will be eventually captured by the left and put to that purpose. The Catholic Society of St Vincent de Paul seems to be striking proof of the existence of this law. . . . — Gerard Jackson, BrookesNews.com

The Australian and European National Councils of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul may be more radicalized than the American, but ours is not far behind, is striving to catch up, and may soon be just as ignorant and subversive. Where in the writings of Vincent and Frederick is there any warrant for lying and thievery in the name of charity?
