The Military Way
The military has a way with guns and words. They know as an instrument of politicians that insults will get you nowhere. They also know the truth about politicians and that they can’t use guns on them in a civilized country. The following are military words describing their bosses. Many conclude as the military do about politicians.
POLITICIAN: an alleged public agent, having no qualification other than egotistic hubris, and no restraint other than fickle unpopularity, who is privileged to be more equal than ordinary voters, who wields power based upon beneficial reciprocity, who conducts community affairs for private advantage, who compromises truth and principle at every opportunity, and who disclaims any responsibility for the results of his maladministration … in short, a lying cheating parasite on the back of the citizenry who believes he knows what’s best for everyone else (excluding himself!), but doesn’t have the courage to actually do anything more than talk about it!
POLITICIANS – ALSO KNOWN AS: poseur, dissimulator, dissembler, pretender, imposter, charlatan, deceiver, fake, split- / double-tongue, double-talker. Although some lexicographers may disagree, “pol”, as the short-form and root of POLITICIAN, is the true basis for “poltroon”! (an offensive term for somebody regarded as a contemptible coward – archaic)
WHAT POLITICIANS DO: When soldiers die in wars they were sent to fight, these yellow-bellied dastards take credit for their battle honors. And when these mollycoddled cravens have botched every negotiable opportunity and bungled every diplomatic relation, soldiers are sent to redeem their ineptitude.
OTHERS DEFINE the POLITICIAN
Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce – “Politician: an eel in the fundamental mud upon which the superstructure of organized society is reared. When he wriggles he mistakes the agitation of his tail for the trembling of the edifice. As compared with the statesman, he suffers the disadvantage of being alive.”
Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) – “It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”
Mark (again) – “A dead politician is the noblest work of God”
Abraham Lincoln – “Congressmen who willingly take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged.” (Democrat leaders during Iraq war)
Michael Kinsley – “A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth.”
A paraphrase of D.W. Buffa – “Exuding boundless self-confidence, politicians are convinced that they can persuade anyone if they could only talk long enough, so they will say anything that will achieve their desired effect, regardless of its merit or result.” (sounds like Obama and health care reform!)
Politicians practice the game of politics. They play to win. Guess who the losers are – the American citizens.
POLITICS : the principles and practices of conducting public affairs; the methods and manipulations of societal administration; the art of government; that constitutionally mandated segment which is responsible for utilizing the military in the national interest.
John Kenneth Galbraith – “Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.”
Mary McCarthy – “In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.”
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin – “To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities — that is not to be taken seriously in politics.”
Jean Rostand – “In politics, yesterday’s lie is attacked only to flatter today’s.”
George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) -”In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.” (Obamacare)
You have to admit that the military has a way with words. The military identifies politicians as estrogen-laced pansies. Politicians’ self-centered motivations embarrass every citizen not only soldiers.
A final military thought about politicians being TAP-DANCERs. That is someone who’s working hard at not working; someone showing a lot of flash-and-dash “fancy footwork” to distract everyone from what the hands are or are not doing, being a “song and dance” of all style and no substance.
Every person in the present administration, from the president through congress, should listen to this. None of them are worthy to kiss the boots of ‘Tango Mike Mike’.

Voting Out The Bums (VOTB) isn’t a novel idea for the military. But as the entitlement circle grows larger, voting out incumbents every election becomes harder. Now is the time. Vote Out The Bums – every incumbent, every election. Citizens need to help out the military, before politicians make ‘estrogen cream’ mandatory in every soldier’s duffle bag.
VOTB: vote out the bums: every incumbent, every election
