Mitt, as do I, assumes a certain level of gentlemanliness and conversance with life’s fundamental amenities and with grown-up literature in America, which is a mistake, most particularly when one considers Democrats, who all lack for the right sort of education.
~~
American Citizens!!
~~
There is a dam a burstin’,
~~
On the other side,
~~
Can you hear it groan?
~~
The wall cannot hold back the water any longer.
~~
Soon everybody will be shouting,
~~
Which side are you on?
~~
Before that dam bursts, every American must ask himself, in his heart of hearts,
~~
Which side am I on?
~~
There is no time left to pretend that everything will be OK again someday.
~~
So?
~~
Which side are you on?
~~
DECIDE
~~
And while you are deciding, remember the famous words of The Bard, so true when written, truer yet today.
~~
“A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste death but once.
~~
It seems to me most strange that man should fear, seeing that death,
~~
A necessary end,
~~
Will come,
~~
When it will come.”
~~
~~ William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar~~
~~
Mitt and I and all of us here, went to University to learn how to think properly.
~~
While Democrats, silly baby lambs, went to University to learn solely about a brand of faux Communism, in which they dream of Democrats getting dirty rich while the Americans themselves bleed, penniless, in the tub.
~~
In foreign affairs, as in life, as Mr. Shakespeare, much earlier, had best put it:
~ ~
“There is a tide in the affairs of men,
~~
Taken at the flood,
~~
Leads on to fortune.
~~
Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.
~~
On such a full sea are we now afloat.
~~
And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”
~~
William Shakespeare
~~
Julius Caesar
~~
Better by far for Mitt to have quoted Mr Michael Jagger, in his very best and now, largely overlooked song, “Jigsaw puzzle”, which contains lines that even Democrats can understand:
~~

Would, it please God, that Mr. Romney had thought directly of the nitty-gritty in 2012, when that knife was so, desperately, needed by the, remaining, Americans~~

He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own."~~ French actor~~Alain Delon
