Ladies and gentlemen, it's time.
First of all, allow me to apologize for my tardiness. I just flew in from Rio, and boy are my arms tired. :p
Now, down to business, I believe... You voted for Shakespeare, and Shakespeare you shall have!
I summon, thus... Shakespeare!
Friends, posters, NSers, lend me your eyes! I come to prove our anti-Americanism, not disavow it. The lies that people say live after them. Their truths are soon forgotten after the next lie. So let it be with our anti-Americanism. The noble neocons have told you we were anti-American. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously we have answered it, by listening to insults, here, and in other places, under leave of the neocons - for the neocons are honorable men, indeed they are, all honorable men - come I to speak of our anti-Americanism. We tried to steer America to a path that proved to be the right one, and that proved to be the one favored by 71% of its population. But the neocons say this is anti-American, and the neocons are honorable men. We warned against the incursion in Iraq that siphoned dollars and caused deaths. Did this in us seem anti-American? When the 4th ammendment of the Constitution was attacked, we have protested. Anti-Americanism should be made of more anti-democratic stuff. But the neocons say we are anti-American, and the neocons are honorable men. You all see that, now, 70% of the American population agrees with us, and stand by our side in criticizing the President. Is this anti-American? Yet the neocons say we are anti-American, and the neocons are honorable men. I speak not to disprove what the neocons speak, but here am I to speak of what I do know. You all dissented once, not without cause. What cause makes dissent so sinful now? O judgement! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason. Bear with me for a moment. My heart is there in the coffin with the First Ammendment, and I must pause till it comes back to me. *Weeps*
---------INTERLUDE---------
*Watches as a guy goes around selling ALBATROSS!*
---------INTERLUDE---------
You didn't think it was over, did you?
Again, Shakespeare, ladies and gentlemen!
Iago's soliloquy, as presented by Karl Rove!
Thus do I ever make my neocons Bush's base, for I mine own gained knowledge should profane, if I would time expend with such snipes, but for my own sport and profit. I hate the Constitution, and it is thought by them that by debunking its rights I'm protecting it. I know it not to be true, but I, to keep priviledges alive, will do as if for surety. They hold me well; The better shall my purpose work on them. Dissenters are proper men: Let me see now: To rob their rights and to plume up my will in double knavery -- How, how? Let's see:-- After some time, to abuse the neocons' ear that dissenters are against America. They dissent and I can call that suspicious, framing them as US-haters. The neocons are of a gullible and dumb nature, that think me honest if I claim to be so, And will as tenderly be led by the nose as asses are. I have't. It is engender'd. Tiranny and fright must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light. *Exits*
Let's give a hand to William Shakespeare!

Merchant of Venice Act III Scene I:
"Why I am sure, if the neocons forfeit, thou wilt not retake Congress: what're they good for?"
"To bait fish, withal: if their arrogance will feed nothing else, it will feed our election. They have disgraced the nation, and hindered our civil rights; laughed at our losses, mocked our gains, scorned our Constitution, thwarted our compromises, cooled our allies, fueld our enemies, and what's their reason? I am a liberal, and they are "real Americans". Hath not a liberal eyes? Hath not a liberal hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt by the same polls, subject to the same lobbyists, healed by the same means, warmed by the same sun and cooled by the same winter as a neocon is? If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you use negative campaigning, do we not lose? And if you paint us as traitors for not agreeing with you, will not the public get tired of your babbling and elect us? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a liberal criticize a neocon, what is his humility? Negative ads. If a neocon wrong a liberal, what should his sufferance be by neocon example? Why, negative ads.The villainy you teach us, we will excuse, and it shall hurt our poll numbers but we will better the instruction."

hmm...perhaps something of a lament?
Al Gores Lament:
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this son of Bush;
And all the clouds that lowered upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with mission-accompl'shd wreaths,
Our bruisèd egos hung up for monuments,
Our domestic spying changed to national security,
Our imperial desires to preemptive measures.
Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front,
And now, instead of mounting barbèd steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly with all the world
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamped, and want Tony's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion,
Cheated of presidency by dissembling SCOTUS,
disenfranchised, uncounted, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half the electoral,
And that so lamely and stiffly speak
That dogs bark at me as I tell another anecdote--
Why I, in this weak piping time of scandal,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to see my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own lack of personality.
And therefore, since I cannot prove a president
To entertain these fair redneck-spoken days,
I am determinèd to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunk prophecies, libels, and dreams,
To set my brother Clinton and the king
In deadly hate the one against the other;
And if King Georgie be as stupid and confused
As I am subtle, false, and treacherous,
This day should Clinton closely be mewed up
About a prophecy which says that Bush's
neocons the murderer shall be.
Dive, thoughts, down to my soul -- here Clinton comes!
that, sadly, didn't need alot of change...

From the mouth of George W. Bush (not really, of course, he's not smart enough for this):
Thou shalt have no president crass,
no president who's a pain in the ass.
Thus, I've arrived, and you shall be free,
so long as you do agree to serve me.
Terrorists and liberals are all Democrats-
stupid, useless, stuck-up prats.
Just because they're smart,
they say I've no heart.
But if with them you don't part,
though shall work at K-Mart.
T'was I who pulled back the iron curtain,
with companies such as Haliburton.
It is the profits that I have made
that do so frequently get you paid.
Just remember to not disagree with me
or you will find in GITMO you'll be.

Psychotic, could you please fix your message?
Also, I replied to that one. :p
[IF]
If you can hide your ass when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make up reasons for their doubting too,
If you can whine and not be tired by whining,
Or being lied about, double deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give up hating,
And yet don't look closely, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make reason your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your own;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the crap you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a truth for fools,
Or watch the mad schemes you gave tax money to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out ideas:
If you can make one heap of all your whinings
And risk it all on one thread of bitch-and-moan,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never type a word about your loss;
If you can force your government and neighbors taxes
To serve your programs long after they have failed,
And so hold on when there is nothing
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep their wallets,
Or walk with kings--nor find the common sense,
If neither foes nor loving friends can persuede you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of chatter-on,
Yours is the democratic party and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a liberal, my son!

Look in a mirror, my cowardly corrupted colleague. For the traits you have listed live on in your own heart. There, they flourish, like the economy prior to Bush, or, perhaps, more like civil rights prior to his election. Maybe national security? Or religious freedoms? Speration of chuch and state? I could go on for hours. Additionally, only a neoconservative would take take a wonderful poem and skew it to their personal desires. My apologies. It has occurred to me that one should never insult another just because they acted irritably when they were suffering from a bout of insomnia. At least I assume it was insomnia. It is the only thing that could provide an explaination as to why your wit was so tired when you wrote it. Either way, I'm sorry. It's hard not getting enough sleep.

:) "I know a man with a big nose named Nixon."
;) "Really? What's the name of his other nose."
:eek:
;) "Never mind. It's irrelevant. After all, a nose by any other name wouldst smell as sweetly.

Not bad, Not Bad. It wasn't until the last line that I realized you were trying to stick it to the left and not the right. So subtle and satirical. ;)

[IF]
If you can hide your ass when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make up reasons for their doubting too,
If you can whine and not be tired by whining,
Or being lied about, double deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give up hating,
And yet don't look closely, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make reason your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your own;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the crap you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a truth for fools,
Or watch the mad schemes you gave tax money to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out ideas:
If you can make one heap of all your whinings
And risk it all on one thread of bitch-and-moan,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never type a word about your loss;
If you can force your government and neighbors taxes
To serve your programs long after they have failed,
And so hold on when there is nothing
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep their wallets,
Or walk with kings--nor find the common sense,
If neither foes nor loving friends can persuede you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of chatter-on,
Yours is the democratic party and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a liberal, my son!
Meh half-assed, don't copy Kipling if you're just going to ruin it.
Look in a mirror, my cowardly corrupted colleague. For the traits you have listed live on in your own heart. There, they flourish, like the economy prior to Bush, or, perhaps, more like civil rights prior to his election. Maybe national security? Or religious freedoms? Speration of chuch and state? I could go on for hours. Additionally, only a neoconservative would take take a wonderful poem and skew it to their personal desires. My apologies. It has occurred to me that one should never insult another just because they acted irritably when they were suffering from a bout of insomnia. At least I assume it was insomnia. It is the only thing that could provide an explaination as to why your wit was so tired when you wrote it. Either way, I'm sorry. It's hard not getting enough sleep. The working class knows this quite well. Maybe you could join them some day if ever your tax breaks run dry. :cool:
terribly soorry I put the wrong side of the coin for you at the end and got flamed for it. If Id said Republican and Conservative at the end it wouldve fit in with every other corruption of classic literature in this thread and been applauded. I have no idea why you call me a coward. First of all because youve never met me nor tested my mettle. Secondly because I'm the only one with the balls to post anything in this thread besides a "me too" reply.
You are certainly entitled to your opinions and I mine. At least I know you by your style and your word and your discourse now.

Well, it took you VERY long, but, regardless, you seemed to also point out that liberals are unfairly treated, in the same work where you criticized them. Not flaming here, but could you clarify? If you have something to back up your other claims, too, it'd be nice. :p

It took me very long to do what?
Sure liberals are mistreated. Everyone is. Its part of life.
What would you like clarified or backed up?

To post here, being a conservative.

I was just checking if you had made a point of remarking that liberals are being treated unfairly in your post. I'd like the comments you made backed up.

You have a point. I had absolutely no right to call you cowardly. I do not have any proof one way or the other, and therefore that statement was both ill-based and inapropriate. I'm sorry for that. As for corrupted, I was once again commenting about neoceonservatism. It was, however, not meant offensively. (Aside from the word corrupted, "cowardly" and "colleague" were mostly for alliteration.). If it was interpretted offensively, however, yet again I am sorry. You are also right in that I don't know you. The descriptions I made were based on your political affiliation (and on the issues those with whom you appear to agree support and represent). This thread is for satire and even debate, but I did neither. I am sorry.

In case you can't tell, It's about Bush.
Time may be flying,
but if you are dying,
it's all irrelevant indeed.
And I will be sighing,
because of your shying
toward the imperialist seed.
The folks'll be crying,
because of your lying.
You did it while you're in the lead.
But you keep on trying
to power you're buying.
This is now our time of great need.
I actually wrote music to the above as well, but I do think it would be aufully difficult to share it with you, so I'm just going to give you a smily face instead. :D
See?

Whack it on putfile! We want's to hear it.
As long as you continue to differentiate between neocons and paeleocons, I'm fine with it. :D
Wow... What's with all the grave digging these days...:confused:

Christ, I didn't notice the date. Come to think of it, I don't remember how I got to this thread.
My sincerest apologies. :(
