Once upon a time, there was a fairy kingdom that lived inside a place called The Beltway and was surrounded on all four sides by a land called America. The Beltway was aligned with another kingdom called Manhattan, inhabited by disembodied heads that spoke from the walls of bars, and with yet another closed kingdom called Hollywood, the abode of half-educated narcissists. These kingdoms were in eternal political syzygy and spoke not with the people of the surrounding lands, of whom they knew nothing. The following is a chronicle of what befell them, and why. After years of peace, the Kingdoms were taken greatly aback by the rise of the Trump Monster, their surprise being proof that they knew nothing of the surrounding lands. They knew nothing for good reasons, of which there were two. The first was that they passed their lives with each other and among each other and talking to each other and writing about each other and reading about each other behind the high walls of their kingdoms. In organs like National Review and The Weekly Standard they endlessly wrote stories of the form “A soothsayer in Manhattan replies to what some other sayer of sooth said about yet another’s attack on someone else.” They had all dwelt in monasteries called Harvard and Princeton, where they learned that they were the wisest of men, and inerrant. They had no idea that they were hated in the strange lands without the walls, which on their maps were drawn as fog with notations such as “Here dwelleth dragons.” They did not know that there were people who agreed not with them. For were they not right about all things? The other reason for their puzzlement was a powerful spell called “Political Correctness.” This strong magic prevented the outlanders from saying anything that the Three Kingdoms did not want to hear. Anyone who engaged incantations called “slurs,” which were truthful thoughts about sacred tribes, or who said Inappropriate Things about a certain little country whose only importance was being that little country, was thrown into durance vile. Thus, the Three Kingdoms never heard anything they didn’t like, and so believed that almost everyone without the walls loved them. They had scarce an idea what furies were roiling and boiling and stirring under the surface of the Outer Realms. Now, until the Trump Monster appeared, the America was ruled by a pseudo- democracy of one bicephalous party with two names. The Only Party consisted of blackguards and Quislings and pickpockets bought and paid for by the plutocratic oligarchy of large corporations, AIPAC, and the. very rich. These told the two halves of the One Party what to do. Every four years there was played a great tournament in which candidates of the Two Names of the One Party engaged in the most savage combat imaginable. This was to distract the people outside the walls . Afterwards, nothing changed and all went on as before though the division of the spoils shifted a bit. And in their ignorance and pride, the Three Kingdoms engendered a monster called Trump, and it bit them. The Only Party had always controlled the villains because it controlled the choice of pretenders to the throne. A pretender gained the Presidency by buying it, and the rich who provided that money controlled as vassals those who accepted it. The pretenders were as straw and melons sold in a market. Furthermore, the scribes and oracles of the Kingdoms said aloud only those things that were meet for the surrounding peasantry to hear. The puissant spell of Political Correctness amounted to a societal mute button and prevented the Holy Orders within the Three Kingdoms from noticing what stirred without. Until the Trump Monster came raging, slouching toward Bethlehem, with which the Kingdoms confused themselves. And there was fright and desperation and rending of teeth and gnashing of hair for many were the rice bowls threatened. The darkest of horrors was that the serfs might come to choose the manner of their government. For long years, the Bicephalous Party had presided over that most desirable form of democracy in which the people had no power. This laudable state they had maintained by never talking about anything of substance, such as unending wars in remote lands beyond the edges of the maps, or the importation of slaves from curious and unwholesome countries or the manufacturers of all things by foreign dwarves. A great broil ensured. The people saw for the first time a chance to manage their destinies and rose up for the Trump Monster. Inside the Beltway, the Wise and Good–for did they not so denominate themselves?–were greatly astonished. “What manner of wight can this be?” they asked in wonder. They said that the Trump Monster was beguiling fools, the cracked, and those who represented the worst in America. And the scribes and oracles were sore afraid, for most of the outlying populace appeared to belong to these tribes. One of the Two Names of the One Party, the Democrats, sent forth a dreadful creature called Hillary to fight in single combat with the Trump Monster. Her very visage turned men to stone, it was said. She was held to be of one blood with Boadicea, Jeanne d’Arc, Lucretia Borgia, and Bonnie Parker. The Three Kingdoms were at one with her, as she was corrupt, mendacious, criminal, and ugly, as well as suffering coughing fits and dizzy spells. Surely, said the scribes and oracles, any monster must fly screaming from her mere presence. Yet it seemed that the Trump was no common monster. Every time he was beset by the scribes and oracles of the Beltway, he grew stronger, and a sulfurous smoke breathed from his mouth. With drawn swords the Trump Monster and the crumbling ruin yclept Hillary circled each other. And beyond the parapets and crenellations of the Three Kingdoms the sky grew darker. Inside the Beltway and in Manhattan, the disembodied heads railed and raged, but with every blast, the helots jointed the Trump Monster in larger numbers, for they hated the Insiders. In Hollywood, the Half-Educated Narcissists said ever more stupid things, but these had not their usual effect. In their pride, the Three Kingdoms had engendered Nemesis, and they watched in terror behind the ramparts as the sky grew darker and strange shapes twisted in the looming clouds and the Trump Monster strode ever nearer, breathing fire.

The Neocon Plot to Steal the Nomination from Trump Has Now Officially been Sanctified Thomas DiLorenzo Scott Walker has reminded his fellow neocons that Abe Lincoln was nominated in a “brokered convention.” (Scroll to the last paragraph of the linked article). This follows the 150-year tradition of the Grand Old Party of Thieves and Murderers: If Abe illegally suspended Habeas Corpus and imprisoned tens of thousands of Northern-state political dissenters, it must be OK for us to do it. If Abe ran an empire of gulags for political dissenters imprisoned without due process, it must be OK for us to do it. If Abe shut down hundreds of opposition newspapers, it must be OK for us to do it. If Abe orchestrated the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of his own citizens in order to destroy the principles of a voluntary union and the notion that a government’s just powers rest upon the consent of the governed then, why, of course it is OK for us to just ignore the consent of the governed in the Republican primaries. Abe would be looking up at us from where he is now and smiling. (Thanks to Chris Rossini).

Every evil thing gliberals (e.g. Republicans) want to do, Lincoln's their fig leaf. Even when they want to do something good they're constitutionally incapable of couching a formal defense in non-Lincoln terms. Prolifers are the worst. It's really the slavery rthing they're driving at, of course, which is really the race thing. People of all persuasions are so housebroken on this they're ELOI marching dumbly to the towers of doom chanting it together. Lincoln and his totally fraudulent, bastardized racial redemptionism will go on serving as amerikans' reason for living till nobody can remember what he looked like. I think he makes a poor messiah compared to the real thing, never called once for the troops to muster. Nextime somebody tries to sell yawl something because Lincoln did it, RUN.
