ASYLUM
\n\u201cIn America, son, we will see
\nHow the people enjoy liberty!\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m glad papa is dead
\nAnd won\u2019t feel what we fled
\nTaking root in the Land of the Free.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the archive:<\/em><\/p>\n

AMERICAN HERO
\nAll the reds Joe McCarthy once named
\nHave turned out to be just what he claimed.
\nIs this patriot praised
\nFor the warnings he raised?
\nNo, McCarthy\u2019s the one who is shamed!
\n(2013)<\/p>\n

THE BURROWERS
\n\u201cJust like Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow,
\nWe\u2019re committed, determined, and thorough:
\nIn the media, the schools,
\nWith our radical rules,
\nWe\u2019re the moles that unceasingly burrow.\u201d
\n(2011)<\/p>\n

CHINA PATTERN
\n\u201cWe will tar fossil fuels as \u2018unclean,\u2019
\nPromote other resources as \u2018green.\u2019
\nThere\u2019s a catch, which, of course, is
\nThat those greener resources
\nAre controlled by our red war machine.\u201d
\n(2011)<\/p>\n

CZARDOM & GOMORRAH
\n\u201cWe are in your schools now and polluting
\nAll the innocent minds we\u2019re rebooting:
\nThere\u2019ll be total immersion
\nIn every perversion
\nAnd the schools will be safe for recruiting.\u201d
\n(2011)<\/p>\n

HAPPENING
\nOur Republic he will rearrange
\nAnd the rights of the people estrange:
\nYes, it can happen here
\nAnd it\u2019s now all too clear
\nWhat Obama intended by \u201cchange.\u201d
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

HOPE AGAINST HOPE
\nBy nefarious allies surrounded,
\nWith socialist nostrums propounded,
\nObama has won,
\nThe change has begun,
\nAnd I hope that my fears are unfounded.
\n(2008)<\/p>\n

USEFUL IDIOTS
\nThere were businessmen, kids, and their mommies
\nJoining ministers, imams, and swamis \u2013
\nThere were people galore
\nShouting no to the war,
\nGiving aid to Saddam and the commies.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

GOODBYE, BAD MEN
\nThe future\u2019s decidedly grim
\nFor Fidel, for Saddam, and for Kim,
\nBecause sooner or later
\nEach demonic dictator
\nMust get what is coming to him.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

ECCE HOMO
\n\u201cComrades, have no fears;
\nIt\u2019s only a matter of years:
\nWe\u2019ll sneak some fairies
\nThrough the seminaries;
\nSoon the Church will be full of queers!\u201d
\n(2002)<\/p>\n

THEY\u2019RE PLAYING OUR SONG
\nOur nation is destined for grief
\nIf our leader has no fixed belief
\nAnd conclusions are drawn
\nAs to whose side he\u2019s on
\nWhen China plays \u201cHail to the Chief!\u201d
\n(1998)<\/p>\n

FAILING MARX
\nSocialism is dead!
\nDone in, the indomitable Red!
\nOr so it would seem,
\nBut in academe
\nOne had better check under one\u2019s bed.
\n(1998)<\/p>\n

Last week’s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

DETOX
\nTake the pledge and escape from its grip,
\nNevermore from this moment a nip:
\nIf you value your brain,
\nYou must henceforth refrain
\nFrom the vile Mainstream Media drip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
