I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.

Contributor To Your Disgust
Tell the truth.
And be honest with yourself.
If I had not been a contributor,
To your disgust...
Would you have had any other ambitions,
To hate for no reason?
And with such a lustful intensity.
Would you be motivated to continue living?
What kind of life could you possibly have?
Think about it.
Without me proving you with an incentive,
That inspires...
You and I both know,
Life to you would be absolutely meaningless.

Sama Sa Usa Ka Suba
Ang kinabuhi kuno sama sa usa ka suba
Diin nato gihinay-hinay og hulog
Ang mga talulot sa atong mga bulak,
Hinay-hinay og kuyog sa dagan sa tubig
Hangtod nga layo na kini sa atong
Panglantaw, ug isunod nato paghatag
Ang atong mga dahon, hinay hinay lang
Gihapon nga atong ipaanod ug ang atong
Mga sanga ato usab nga ipiyal sa suba
Sa atong kinabuhi hangtod nga mahurot na
Ang tanan natong mahatag. Tan-awon nato
Atong bulsa kon duna pa ba kitay mahatag
Kay kon wala na, moabot na ang dili
Kapugngan. Ihatag na nato ang atong
Lawas, ug dayon ang atong kalag.
Kasagaran buot nato nga magpabilin
Apan dili kini mahimo. Anaa ang balaod
Sa suba ug sa mga talulot sa mga bulak.
Ipaanod ang tanan. Ang tanan gayod.
Atong iuli pinaagi sa pagpaanod.

Inig Takdol Sa Bulan
alang sa mga balakeros y balakeras)
inig takdol na gani sa bulan
ayaw og katingala nga dunay manubo
sa kilid sa atong mga bukobuko
dili nato ikaulaw ang atong kaliwat
dili kita nila mabasol sa atong pagkapak-an
gisunod lang nato ang ilang mga panaw
dili nato ikaulaw ang atong pagkawakwak
anad na kita nianang pagtukaw
anad na kita kon kita unya isalikway

But It Is to Your Interests
'We are against him.
He proposes to redistribute the wealth.
And that is not our interests.'
Oh?
But it is to your interests,
To maintain a drain on the economy
With trillions of dollars...
To give to a few,
With hypocritical views...
You campaign to keep.
To rescue with a 'bailout'
In a brainwashing of those who follow,
Standards and values that deplete them of reality!
'He wishes to inflict upon us socialistic values! '
And you...
Wish to keep those in need.
As you continue feeding your greed!
In a democracy that bleeds.

NATO believes it can pick on a small nation and force us to surrender our independence. And that is where NATO miscalculated. You are not willing to sacrifice lives to achieve our surrender. But we are willing to die to defend our rights as an independent sovereign nation.

I don't think that the war serves U.S. interests. I think Osama bin Laden's interests and the Iranian interests are very much served by it, and it's becoming a huge drain on our resources both material and political.

Goose Steps Up My Spine
millions starved to death:
missiles fired overhead.
sea games with seoul
under nato* control.
pyongyang power ill prince
trotting past mad troops.
when he stands in his suit
generals all about salute
and smirk.
quaint peasants in rows
step goose bumps up my arms
for as far as totems go
it's grim as stalin
and that pole has been climbed
*NATO

Bond is not constant.
Interests create involvement.
Involvements create interests.
Interests tiring, involvements die.
Involvements straining, interests die.
The bond is not constant.

The idea that 'the public interest' supersedes private interests and rights can have but one meaning that the interests and rights of some individuals take precedence over the interests and rights of others.
Agn Bikil Sa Atong Kinabuhi
mao nga kita mopiyong aron
magpadayag ang wala nato makita
sukad-sukad sa sulod
sa atong kasing-kasing
ug dayon ibuka nato
ang atong mga mata aron makita
pag-usab ang mga dayag
nga nakapabuta kanato
sa dugay na kaayong higayon
diha sa tunga sa kusog kaayo
nga sulog sa kahayag

I am committed to strengthening our agricultural economy by protecting the unique interests of small and medium size family farms so that they can continue to operate.
Sober, Grave, And Staid
Sober, grave, and staid...
To highlight one's prim and proper,
Self restraint.
Often impairs one's vigor and effectiveness,
To react spontaneously...
That allows the naturalness of the order of things,
To flourish to become what they are intended.
And unfortunately reflects,
A stagnation of beliefs with those standards valued...
Unable to compete with an existing reality.
'We will continue to seek leadership,
Which represents 'our' interests.'
~And those interests are? ~
'Whatever has worked for our ancestors.'
~Even though times have drastically changed? ~
'We are not going to allow times to change.
We prefer to keep our beliefs outdated.
And we are entitled to do just that.'
~But what is the advantage? ~
'We do not concern ourselves with benefits,
Or advantages.
Logic or common sense.'
