Things to Think About by Nobody Graham
"'To Protect and Serve'" is the proud motto of governments and veal farmers." --Nobody Graham

"Organized political parties may not be the only branches of organized crime, but they are certainly the most dangerous to your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." --Nobody Graham

"Definition of POLITICS: POLI means many; TICKS are bloodsucking insects." --Paul Bell, 1984

"Definition from Poli-Sci 101: 'Politics is the art of who gets what from whom, and how.'" --Nobody Graham

"If you waste your vote on poli-ticks-as-use-y'all, you're volunteering to be used, abused, accused and confused by the use-y'all gang of political hucksters." --Nobody Graham

"Your vote is only 'wasted' if you don't vote your conscience." --Nobody Graham

"Voting for the LESSER OF TWO EVILS is not only voting for evil, but a tremendous waste of your voting power. In fact, it gives your vote power to those who will use and abuse you. Whomever you give your vote will claim to have EARNED it, and use your MANDATE to rule over you." --Nobody Graham

"Political Power is only useful to those who want to control everybody and/or steal from everybody. So, why would any sane person vote to give Political Power to anybody?" --Nobody Graham

"Rape is screwing somebody without consent. Politics is screwing everybody without consent. The difference is only the degree of magnitude." --Nobody Graham

"Rape one person, you're in prison. Rape everybody, you're in Congress." --Nobody Graham

"In the past the R-Party would rape you and the D-Party would pillage you. Now they are more efficient: they both jump you at once. That's bi-partisan politics." --Nobody Graham

"Is there any difference between the two major parties? Yes there is. The D-Party talks about stealing from you, while the R-Party really does it. The R-Party talks about controlling your life, while the D-Party really does it. Anything that both steals and controls is a bipartisan issue." -- Nobody Graham

"There are 3 branches of the political mess: democraps, republicraps and bureaucraps. They've spent more than 200 years plugging up the political system with laws, paperwork and more red tape. Sending politicians and lawyers to clean up that mess is futile. Politicians and lawyers create messes; they don't clean them up. What we really need is a janitor." --Nobody Graham

"Think back. Can you remember a time when government actually gave you back control of any aspect of your life? Think forward, can you imagine government allowing you more control of your life?" --Nobody Graham

"All branches of government are addicted to taxes. Solving Tax Addiction would solve almost all of the problems of government." "Just say NO! to Tax Addiction!" --Nobody Graham

"'Just say NO! to Tax Addiction!' is more than a slogan. It's a political (or un-political) philosophy that requires free-market services to replace coercion. So, those who want a park or school or service center or city hall or ballpark would pay voluntarily, and those who would prefer to give their charity to their church, library, street project, educational institute, or even keep it for their own families, would have those choices." --Nobody Graham

"Forcing charity on people is an oxymoron. If it's forced, it isn't charity." --Nobody Graham

"Forcing liberty on people is an oxymoron. If it's forced, it isn't liberty." --Nobody Graham

"Using military force to provide charity and/or liberty is totally moronic. Only a moron would attempt to use military force to achieve liberty or provide real charity. Force doesn't work." --Nobody Graham

"Why did the US-led forces get their asses kicked in Somalia, when the mission was (supposedly) just to provide food and medical supplies to impoverished natives? Maybe it was more complicated than our government led us to believe." --Nobody Graham

"We have soldiers in more than 130 countries. Why?" --Nobody Graham

"The US should have friendship and free trade with all, and entangling alliances with none. Instead we have entangling alliances with all, and friendship and free trade with none." --Nobody Graham

"Political comedy is similar to sexual comedy, except you have to think dirtier and talk cleaner... that's why politicians say they're here to SERVE us when they're really here to SCREW us! I don't mind getting screwed once in a while -- but the government thinks I'm a nymphomaniac..." --Nobody Graham
