Democracies, unlike dictatorships, are forgiving and generous, but they cannot survive unless they fight.

I hate war... for the dictatorships it puts in the place of democracies, and for the starvation that stalks after it.

Dictatorships foster oppression, dictatorships foster servitude, dictatorships foster cruelty; more abominable is the fact that they foster idiocy.

Could the U, N, be shut down for good?
Their list of totalitarian dictatorships just grows,
They’re at the UN assembly and everyone knows,
But we can’t do a thing about it for some strange reason,
Not politically correct and might look like treason.
But something is wrong and they seem to have taken over the place,
And nothing they do in their homeland is considered a disgrace,
And politicians love to get a UN appointment there,
Where they nod their heads and no need to think or say a prayer.
I suggest that maybe the whole UN place could be shut down,
Or maybe have it just for democracies even though appointees frown,
But where do we find someone with the power to do this?
How in hell did we get into this obvious UN mess?

Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.
In emerging democracies like Russia, in authoritarian states like Iran or even Yugoslavia, journalists play a vital role in civil society. In fact, they form the very basis of those new democracies and civil societies.

Politicalamity
Wars n rumors
Of wars, no one knows what for
Toys and soldiers
Deployed, on some foreign shore
Lords and rulers
Destroy, diplomatic rapport
Communists, dictatorships
Democracies, hypocrisies
Ask not what your country can do?
To a one world governmental zoo
Political, political
Politicalamity
Its an-ar-chy
Political, political
Politicalamity
Rick n poor
Salute your countrys colors
Less is more
When one oppresses the other
Pride n power
Decorated upon collars
Donkeys, bears n elephants
All paper-trained on parliament
Ask not what your country can do?
To a one world governmental zoo

Durban Iii
They are planning a Durban III conference in New York next year,
Dictatorships that seem to run the UN and tend to commandeer,
The last one was held in Durban SA, a few days before nine eleven,
When thousands of New Yorkers were suddenly sent to heaven.
The Durban platform of anti-Semitic rhetoric was sad,
Still the same platform next year in NY which shows they’re half mad,
And have turned the UN into their own propaganda machine,
Unfortunately they are real - not some monster at Halloween.
The tenth anniversary of Durban II and 9/11 on the same day,
Dictatorship pronouncements mixed with those who kneel and pray,
All democracies failed to attend the last Durban affair,
Timing next year so that they can’t boycott or walkg away.

It serves notice that President Bush is serious about promoting freedom, because free societies are a lot more peaceable than dictatorships and monarchies.
The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity.
