*I am a master proofreader after I click Submit.
* There is actually a War on Christmas. But Christmas started it, with it's unparalleled aggression against the Thanksgiving Holiday, and now Christmas has seized much Lebensraum in November, and are pushing into October. The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania

Posted a simple Wikipedia article on American Civil War POW camps, and included is a picture of a starved prisoner. It's not like porn or anything.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell

Why stop at the 1950s? We can just aim 1830s and start enslaving said minorities, take away the right to vote from anyone who isn't rich, white, and male. Glorious.

Tremble before the cold hand of the reactionary cause, feeble Democrat. Soon we will all get nine votes for every one you cast, and our incomes will be entirely untaxed while the poor labor as wage-slaves for the entirety of their short healthcare-free lives.

Yeah those people in the Puget sound region should have their vote count less than yours. Your rural county should get to decide the statewide officials and control of the legislature even if your candidate loses the popular vote statewide.

I'm personally more in favor of ten votes for reactionaries and no votes for everyone else, but unfortunately one has to set reasonable political expectations.
