Our progress springs from our hatred



"Shout. Shout out his name."

George Bush.

Barack Obama.

John McCain.

Hillary Clinton.

Ronald Reagan.

Bill Clinton.

Republican.

Democrat.

Our progress springs from our hatred.

Love is weakness. Power is strength. Freedom betrays us. Force improves us.

Reason is for the weak, and patient, and naive.

Power is the only reason that counts.

Many people have reasoned this way. Much tragedy has been made down this road.

Most human tragedy has been made down this road.

But, somehow, more enlightened people have convinced us that this is the way of the future. Rather than a tragic vestige of our past.

When it serves their cause, that is.

And when hatred is confused with progress.

Which it has been many times. Always ending in tragedy. Always.

Perhaps this is the time that it restrains freedom for good.

Or perhaps it will fail as it has every time.

You tell me.

Is history a march of freedom?

Or a march of power?

You choose.
