As the true plans of the Forces of Evil and their political puppets in Washington begin to become clear, the average American appears to finally be getting it. The recent spectacle of our betters in Congress being shouted at by the rabble over the proposed Obamacare bill seems to have lit a fire under the body politic. Democracy in action, they say -- as if that were a good thing.
But even though I am adamantly opposed to the federal government's proposed takeover of my most intimate affairs, I'd like to state for the record that even though the rabble and I happen to agree on this issue, I am neither of them nor for them. They believe in democracy.
Democracy? I loathe it, along with all forms of representative government.
Why? For pity's sake. I'll explain:
As the twilight of the Republic begins to fade and "night cometh", let us at long last be honest about our fellow Americans. The average Town Hall terror — like the average American — is a semi-literate moron. As are most people everywhere, they are herd animals, cattle, incapable of any real analytical thought or higher reasoning, mere beasts of the field, interested only in copulation (sex), fodder (Endless Breadsticks the Olive Garden!), and unsophisticated physical pleasure (sports). Given this undeniable reality, can any sane person seriously advocate government "by the people"? The American people are like most people everywhere: sheep. And they have no more business governing themselves than does any other flock of sheep. They need a Good Shepherd to guide them and protect them from predators. Unfortunately, our flock decided years ago that shepherds were unnecessary -- and without them became mere meat for the tables of the tyrants.
But over the years, the sheep that have survived have become capable of one thing: perceiving a threat if it gets close enough. And -- unfortunately for the current crew of Evil Shepherds in Washington -- even a herd of sheep as thick as ours can tell when they’re about to be fleeced (or in the case of the elderly and chronically ill, culled from the herd). Thus the bleats of the Golden Corral buffet gang down at the town hall. The American people may be stupid, but they’re not blind and deaf — and Congress just found that out.
In the end, however, sheep will be sheep -- passive creatures, with no real will of their own -- and soon enough the Evil Shepherds in Washington will use the power of their Magic Idiot Boxes to get them under control again. Then, like any flock of sheep headed for slaughter, they'll settle down and fall in line.
And then: THE HARVEST.1
At this point, the night is too dark for the poor dumb sheep to find their way home on their own. They are lost -- spiritually and otherwise. Their only hope is that a shepherd from the Forces of Good can gain control of them and stampede them over the Evil Shepherds first.
Now, don’t go looking at me. I’m a sheepdog who dislikes the company of sheep. And even though it is my duty as a sheepdog to protect them, in the end all I can do is bark a warning as the Shepherd gathers them in.
This is why I hate democracy: because sheep get the Shepherd they deserve -- and it's sad to watch them file one by one into his killing chute.

I don’t mean any offense since I know that you are the author... but this is smug and nasty. And before you cushion my criticism with the thought that “the truth hurts,” go back and reread what you wrote. Who is your audience here? Your reader, or you, the author?

The sad part is, that when the sheep do finally listen to the sheepdogs, all they are going to do is stand behind the sheepdog and expect him to take care of them. From one sheepdog to another!
Matthew 13:9
Yes, but it’s our duty to die for the flock. Don’t complain about it.

The sheep bleat and run.
The rams stand their ground but will not attack unless being attacked.
The sheepdogs will attack if they feel the sheep are being threatened.
The shepherd (should) direct the sheepdogs.
The wolves feed on any sheep carcass they can find, whether they killed the sheep or not.
The problem is that the shepherd and the wolves have combined forces and the shepherd is now directing the wolves.
Unless we become sheepdogs or rams we will be eaten.
