Found this in a newsletter this morning and thought I'd share it, for it so perfectly demonstrates to what extent our lives are being controlled by the throngs of lefties in cahoots with conga-lines of sundry demagogues...and since the pre-PC generation are still alive and well one has to conclude that it has all just been an extended farce for the sake of controlling and taxing the populace.

This is too true to be very funny…

The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending YOUR tax money.
