Michael Moore Keeps Pulling Me Back In
by Michael WilsonNo matter what I’m doing now or what I do in the future, I’ll probably always be known as the guy who made “Michael Moore Hates America.” I often wonder why I picked a fight with Moore. I mean really, I got to be a tiny little bit famous for a few weeks, stressed out for five years and more broke than when I started. Sometimes I wish I’d never dipped my foot into this addiction called showbiz and often wonder what life would’ve been like if I were just toiling away in the marketing department of some company again.
But then the multimillionaire and self-proclaimed champion of the little guy opens his foul, uneducated, lying mouth and I’m reminded why I made that movie and continue to write and talk about Moore. Someone somewhere has to tell the truth about this country and I guess it might as well be me. I guess fate has appointed me his much less wealthy, way less well-known, and much thinner (even though I’m fat) counterpart. I just read Moore’s latest diatribe and got Hulk-angry. HULK SMAAASHHH!
I am now thoroughly convinced that even though millions look to him as thought-leader, there’s really not much going on upstairs. Moore is quite simply an uneducated populist. He’s Mos Def with a bigger vocabulary. He has no interest in studying history, because if he did, he’d find his whole worldview to be antithetical to what this nation is defined as by the documents that do the defining. Michael Moore hates what America is.
It’s certainly clear that Michael Moore loves power. He loves crushing people. He loves destroying the lives of others. He’s done it over and over for his own benefit. So it’s probably no surprise that Moore thinks the firing of the CEO of a private company by a federal bureaucrat is a good thing. Especially when Moore can make hay and horde millions of dollars because of it (his next populist rant is about the evil Wall Street puppetmasters). If there were ever more of a mind-blowingly hypocritical person in the history of the world, I can’t think of it.
Moore actually wrote in his latest insane and unbalanced screed that Obama “has the massive will of the American people behind him — and he has been granted permission by us to do what he sees fit.”
No, you stupid motherfucker, he hasn’t. You see, the Constitution of the United States of America determines the power of the President, not the people. Specifically, it LIMITS that power. And the guys who wrote that document were scared shitless of guys like Obama. George Washington referred to the President as the “Chief Magistrate” and the Founders saw government as something that had to be limited to prevent it from committing the sorts of atrocities we’ve seen in the last couple of months. Government has no business firing anyone in the private sector. None. Zip. Nada.
But Moore cheers for Obama’s overturning of centuries of Constitutional and common law like a high school girl whose panties are a little moist at the site of the big, strong quarterback. He cheers him on because he loves the sight of OTHER rich guys squirming (DO NOT FORGET THAT MOORE IS A MULTIMILLIONAIRE WHO HAS A TRACK RECORD OF AVOIDING UNION FILM WORKERS BECAUSE THEY COST TOO MUCH!!!) because the almighty government is inflicting pain on them.
Moore has talked in the past about the “free” health care and dentistry provided to him by GM when he was a kid. He talks about how the “common man” could make a “living wage” when times were good for GM. He talks about how it was the line workers that made the company one of the greatest on earth and how the rich elite have always been bald, cat-stroking evil geniuses bent on pouring liquid waste on everyone they can before anally raping their mothers and firing them and burning their houses down and pissing on the ashes. In fact, his NEW MOVIE is about just that! Of course if you’ve seen one Michael Moore movie, you’ve seen them all.
Despite all that GM provided for Moore and his family (it wasn’t “free,” GM paid for it), Moore can’t help but demonize the company, writing about the “hundreds of thousands of workers over the past 25+ years who have been tossed into the trash heap by General Motors.” Despite the fact that the primary reason the company is failing is because it overpaid its workers and now pays retirees more in salary than when they actually worked there, Moore is happy that it’s time for a little revenge.
Moore thinks its good that government is now telling private companies who will run them, what products they will make, and how they will operate (regardless of whether it’s profitable). He thinks it’s great that government is using the IRS to target specific individuals Ex Post Facto to take away money they rightly earned. He loves that big daddy government is there to take care of us.
I can’t imagine how that must feel. It must be awful to be so weak and unable to care for yourself that you need a bureaucrat to do it for you. But then, Michael Moore knows that he’ll be okay. He knows that the ultra-wealthy like him don’t have to play by the same rules as everyone else. He’ll be able to go to a private doctor when we’re in line at the government hospital. He won’t have to beg the IRS to honor the warranty on his GM (yes, Obama’s promise to honor GMs warranties falls under Treasury) because he can just buy another car. He won’t have to worry about government seizure of his property (they own most of the mortgages now) because his multimillion-dollar penthouse in New York and giant vacation home in Michigan are paid for.
What I don’t understand about Moore is how just a few months ago he abhorred the power-grabbing Bush “regime” but now he’s cheering on the most overreaching President in the history of the United States. I guess as long as his guy is in charge, it’s okay for one man to have way too much power. If you want an almighty government, Mike, you’ve gotta be okay when it’s your liberty that’s under attack. Based on your sycophantic slobbering over Obama’s action, you’d better be happy when the next President tells you what your next project is going to be about.
They’ve already come for the capitalists. They’ll eventually get to the lying, scumbag communist propagandists and Moore will be fucked.

More than any single person outside of Jimmy Carter and Ron Gettelfinger, Moore is responsible for the shackling of GM to the UAW. Had Carter not saved Chrysler, the UAW would have had to have changed their wage structure, and GM and Ford would not have had to move away from cars into more profitable trucks, so they could pay the wages and benefits of their workers.
Moore, on the other hand, made it popular to hate American automobiles and auto companies. Ultimately and ironically, he'll be responsible for the dismantling of both the UAW and an American icon.
Another good documentary would be the socialized health care currently forced on Canadians and Brits. One that shows the systems in their entirety – good and bad. I'm biased but I'm assuming it wouldn't be too much good. Michael Moore would probably be refused care in those systems due to his obesity and rationing – there would be too many healthy people in line before him
Gotta love these forme Jarheads… the only thing better than his doccumentary on Moore was Trey Parker and Matt
Stone's devestating depiction of the Fat One in 'Team America'…

I'd say you understand it perfectly. I'll go one further: Moore is an anarchist in favor of his own brand of "archy": Oligarchy.
Oh, and, Buck Farack.
Michael, can you use a more recent pic of that fascist pig? He's plumped up a bit, living a good life speaking "TRUTH"!

Moore is a hack and a hypocrite.
Everyone is now finding out the simple fact that power is always abused by conservatives and there is never enough for liberals…
Whoa there cowboy. President Obama isn't forcing any "private" company to do anything. GM, AIG et al should have gone out of business. He's not telling Ford what to do. And hey if you want 25% unemployment and the money that you put in the bank to disappear like happened in the 18th, 19th and early 20th century have at it. But these actions, started by President Bush and continued by President Obama saved our economy from complete destruction. If GM didn't want to be told what to do they shouldn't have taken our money. That is how business works?
Capitalism is a great system but you act as if it is part an parcel with the constitution. I personally can't find the word or concept in the document. If we continue to allow a tiny segment of the economy to make huge wages while the rest of America's wages stagnate or fall we will end up with a feudal system like happened in the middle ages. But according to you there's nothing that we can do to stop it. CEO wage have gone from 30 to 1 to over 1000 to 1. Average American wage – flat.
So you stand up for our CEOs who almost destroyed our country. I'll stand by President Obama.
I love M. Moore – ever since I saw Roger & Me in AP Econ class in HighSchool. Luckily I have been able to shake his hand. He loves America – and anyone who say's otherwise is Retarded. Ciao.
Well that one went straight to mod. I quoted the strongest part of the story, then stated I feared the descriptor was too weak. Oh well.
You're strong enough, you're tough enough, and gosh darn it, we people really like you. So why don't you just go over and punch that pig in the mouth and save us from his oinkdoms?
Sadly your indoctrination started too soon to save you. I fear you are beyond help.
that's probably very true….geez, what a turd…
the 'America' he loves doesn't exist- yet. And we are hoping it doesn't come to fruition…
He is the pure dictionary descripton of a hack. Actually, that's way too nice.

You won't find Oligarchy or Socialism in the Constitution either, but hither we are bound.
Liberty and its inherent implications, is the lifeblood of the human spirit. Capitalism thrives where there is liberty, and even where there isn't, since the human nature is to provide for one's own security. The inhuman nature is to control another's provisions and securities for the purpose of personal gain and aggrandizement.
Wages are flat because of mandatory (read fascist) dictates from local, state, and federal fatcats with their hands in the till. To vilify the capitalist without calling our public servants to task is merely an exercise in class envy, and has no real moral implication other than the lowest form of greed.
Will we still be called America at that point?
your fools go to 'motivational platoon' and generally stop behaving foolishly… of course, a disgusting fat body like Moore wouldn't have lasted a day in ROTC…
Kenny, this line you wrote is right: GM, AIG et al should have gone out of business.
That being said, Bush should NEVER have offered up TARP I..
Obama should never have offered up the Stimulus package or TARPII…
I find it painful that, from the "stimulus' package, a lot of banks WANT to return the money they say they were pressured to take, but didn't Need (it seems that only AIG, BoA (and I'm trying to figure out how they got control of my Countrywide mortgage.,… so I own part of the company that I owe money to now? So i can just pay myself the mortgage payments? SWEET!), and CitiBank "needed" the money) but can't start paying it back for 3 years (per the WSJ article)… by which time it'll be too late and the "Govt Wage Control" takes effect…
Oh, and I'm going to tell the PC police that you used the word "retarded" (capitalized no less!)
Bad liberal! Bad!
your fist might hit the ketchup and mustard on his puss and slip right off- no, a hot foot would do nicely…

However: the second paragraph you wrote is COMPLETELY off…
You do realize that the money a CEO for these major companies make is usually a FRACTION of what the company makes/spends as a whole?

You malign the pigs in that comparison. How 'bout dung beetle? Worshipped by many, but in the end, he's just pushing around a ball of (auto-modded).
The only thing I can say as a lifelong BofA customer is that at least they haven't punished me for making my payments on time by raising my interest rate in inverse proportion to the prime rate. Can't say the same for my Chase (WaMu) rates.
Punk rock journalism for the GOP? I dig it. Great rant, Mike. About F-ing time. However the fact is Wagoner was a terrible CEO; plain and simple. So what, that he was a career guy. He stunk GM up. He should have been fired years ago. He knew GM was in the tank for years. A strong leader would have scorched earth until earnings were in line with costs, while chasing profits. Not Wagoner. He grabbed ankles and let Barney pound him.
Yeah, I actually should have said "that ball of pig (self-moderated)."
Actually, I don't know the dictionary definition of a hack. I just like the sound of it.
I gotta tell you, even that pic of Moore above kind of cheeses me off.
If there is one thing I HATE it is ingratitude.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali said once that it is easy for free people to spit on their freedoms because they do not know what it is like to live under oppression.
Michael Moore is a fool.
Harrumph harrumph!
"(Obama) has the massive will of the American people behind him — and he has been granted permission by us to do what he sees fit." (Michael Moore)
In Moore´s defense, it sounds better in the original German. As another fat man said: The law and the will of the leader are one and the same.
"Das Recht und der Wille des Führers sind eins" (Hermann Göring)

There are times where I really wish Michael Moore had the kahones to allow comments on his website so I can tell him what a brainless piece of…., underserving of the air he breaths he is… :/ But alas, I must say it here…. He is a typical libtard that uses his "freedom of speech" to demonize whatever will profit him. He doesn't realize the implications of Obama forcing out the CEO of GM is… Maybe we should send him on a free vaction for life to North Korea then he will see how life is they way that he wants it…
Too bad you did not take AP English in high school. I love liberal seagulls who swoop in, squawk, take a crap, then leave (still somehow managing a way to validate themselves by dropping a tidbit like "AP Econ" that lets the rest of us know how smart they are…even if they have a questionable grasp on basic capitalization).
"He loves America – and anyone who say's otherwise is Retarded."
Spoken like a true idiot.
Michael Moore apparently invokes strong feelings… My comment below went straight to the mod too… But I just told it like I see it…. unfortunately without the lack of explicitives… hopefully the current omissions and revisions will work… oh well..
Okey dokey, thanks for stopping by…the portal back to your alternate universe is about to close up. You better hurry 'cause you don't want to be around here in reality too long. Your tiny brain might explode.
As soon as I read that line in the article I was wracking my brain trying to remember which Nazi tool said it. So you beat me to it, and now my brain can be un-wracked for a while.
Sie haben Recht. And how do you get umlauts into your posts? German never looks right without umlauts.
'You won't find Oligarch or Socialism in the constitution either'
My point exactly. As a country we are free to change are economic system. I am not advocating class envy or warfare for that matter. People who created wealth should absolutely be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. But I have a real problem with two bit accountants who graduate from Purdue are hired by their buddies into their closed circle and give each other unheard of salaries.
In today's corporation the lowest level employee and even middle level is expendable or at best a commodity but the executive is indispensable and deserving of all the rewards. So as happened at Disney in the 80's and many corporations since. M. Eisner cuts the wages of all employees and is rewarded with a $300,000,000 bonus. Everything for him. Nothing for anyone else. He is the lord of his people. Giving a morsel to the little people, but getting much more. Disgusting!
Michael Moore is an awfully big waste of space.
This is an ACLU-type argument: nobody is defending the guy. We're saying it's ridiculous for the President to fire the CEO of a private company. And it's more ridiculous that the same people calling Bush names for taking the necessary steps to protect our country from an active terror campaign are now cheering "Superhero Obama" for overstepping his Constitutional authority. It shouldn't be shocking, these are the people who think having one party controlling all three branches of government and rubber-stamping anything that comes into their deranged little minds is a brilliant idea, too. Checks and balances? Nah, just write checks.
GM didn't "tank our economy". Ford didn't "tank our economy". FREE ENTERPRISE didn't "tank our economy". The failure, as everybody knows, was in the most heavily scrutinized and regulated aspect of our economy – a specific pet project allowed to run amok by social-engineering do-gooders. Firing an ineffective CEO at a failing company after you blame them for your own failures and nationalize them – that's not something to applaud. Left alone, the CEO would have been 'fired' by the free market with fewer implications on business down the line.
USSA maybe?
I will give Michael Moore credit for one thing and one thing only — in The Big One — something I've never seen him do in any other film of his: Offer a solution to a problem when he asked Nike's Phil Knight to set up a plant in Lansing. Not saying it was the most realistic or financially viable solution, but sure beat Moore's usual whine/gripe/complain/insult MO.
Otherwise, Mr. Wilson is dead-on: Seen one Michael Moore movie, you’ve seen them all."
Retarded? Geez, D., why didn't you just say anyone else is a member of the Special Olympics?
"The massive will of the American people behind him…"
Moore HAS to be one of those liberal idiots (are there any other kind) who still believes BO won in a landslide. BTW, to the lib who said he was happy to have shaken Moore's Hand: Did it feel slimy?
Moore is a creepy and repellant individual who has stumbled on a way to make being obnoxious pay. Ever since "Roger & Me" he has been playing to the same audience with the same pseudo-populist message. Hollywood has embraced him as their token "regular guy" and spokeman for "the little people" because he is selling them exactly the line they want to hear. If George W. Bush had made a one-tenth of the moves toward expanding Executive power as The One has made in his first two months of office….well, you get the idea. Believe me if W. had tried to intervene in the hiring, firing and salaries of private companies the Left would be stoutly manning the barricades in defense of freedom of contract. I try not to think of Moore but when I do I always remember what they say on the streets…."What goes around comes around!"
Moore is proof that nobody ever went broke bashing America and the institutions that made it great.
Which is tragically sad.
I am not advocating class envy or warfare for that matter.
And yet, you persist. I don't think you understand the concept. Eisner has more class, clout, and connections than you. Boo-hoo. You don't have to work for him. You do, however, have to work for every job your government creates, controls, and clusterfucks. Our last 60 years are littered with the detritus of failed government, not failed capitalism.
Just google up "jobcorps" to see what a top-heavy over-managed "job placement" government agency looks like. They have precious few jobs to offer, (like 1, in the state of Florida) and they've been in "business" since LBJ or before. They are never allowed to fail, their overseers collect handsomely, with sweet pensions. Yet, they do precious little and have quite agreeable salaries that you and I pay for.
If you wish to stand by Obama, it's likely you're hoping he'll be merciful to your penurious self-esteem and give you a job.
Yep. Hack. Like a nasty hairball hack.
)
Michael Moore keeps pulling you back in… because without his celebrity to feed off, youv'e got nothing?
Capitalism isn´t a system. It is the absence of a system.
These CEOs "almost destroyed" our country? How so? These were private companies. They didn´t spend YOUR money, Obama did. YOU didn´t pay for their bonuses until Congress voted and made it so.
They didn´t create 2 trillion in new debt within a couple of weeks. Obama did. They didn´t start a class war in America, fanning envy and setting people against people and promising redistribution instead of wealth creation. They didn´t create a panic, inflating a severe but common recession into an "unprecedented crisis" purely for poltical gain. Obama did.
Nor did they push mortages on people unable to afford them – it was the price for doing business exacted by a liberal Congress. And if they refused, they got into trouble. In 1994, Obama took part in a class-action lawsuit accusing Citibank of "discriminatory redlining practices". Given their later losses related to subprime lending, Citigroup must have learned their lesson. But these were not economic decisons, they were political decisions of exactly the sort you applaud.
KennyJ, you're completely clueless if you think that the entire financial catastrophe can be chalked up to bad CEO's. The prime culprits here are not in corporate America, but in the federal government, namely idiots like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. The dominoes tumbled because the housing bubble popped, a housing bubble that was inititated by Democrats and the advocates for the perpetual victim class. Because these morons insisted on forcing financial institutions to make loans to even the most obviously unqualified applicants, the rest of us are now suffering for their sins. Why is it that liberals never learn from their mistakes? They ALWAYS and without exception fall prey to the law of unintended consequences. Unfortunately, this time they have taken the rest of the world down with them.
Also for your information, the Republicans repeatedly tried to reform Fannie and Freddie, and tried to implement other controls to prevent precisely the type of catastrophe that has occurred, but the Democrats would have none of it. Barney Frank, in particular, refused to entertain any notion of reforming Freddie and Fannie, stating as recently as mid-2008 that Fannie and Freddie were sound.
Or a uniform.
I AM in Germany and have a German-type keyboard (made by Dell, though) which enables me to properly spell Motörhead.
I agree with you about Eisner (since I know quite a bit about that situation), but only to the point of indignation and discussion about it. Taking it beyond that to the point of having the government decide how much he "should" make is, however, quite a different thing. That type of action is entirely un-American.
Eisner didn't steal the money, he was granted compensation by authority of the board of directors. Whether or not he "deserved" it is a value judgment that the shareholders are perfectly capable of making and enforcing. It is not a matter of law, and is not the domain of the government in any way. Nor is it the domain of Disney's employees. They are EMPLOYEES, and as such are entitled to the compensation they agreed to, nothing more. Where on Earth do the Michael Moore's of the world get this idea that employees are entitled to dictate to those who own and manage companies? Where would they be if these same people who they revel in villifying had never created those companies to begin with?
Failed government? What country do you live in? Let's see. FAA – We have the safest skies in the world. FDA – The advent of modern medicine occurred through the fund of university and NHI support. The national highway system built during the Eisenhower administration. Shall I go on? Go to Mexico if you want to see a failed government.
'Obama give me a job?' A cheap shot. I expected better but I guess not. I'm actually a design engineer for an aerospace company. So I don't need a job but thanks for asking. I might recommend reading a little history so you can learn a bit about our countries past. But then again I doubt it.
BTW you were completely off topic. I was speaking about CEO overcompensation and it deleterious effects on our economic system. Maybe you missed it.
Anyone that can type Motörhead without having to figure out all sorts of arcane code combinations is good in my book.
Nice try but not so. The collapse occurred because the financial system asked for a got deregulated by both the Democrats and Republicans starting with Regan, Bush, Clinton and finally Bush. The banks over leverage their capital 35 to 1 and tried to mitigate the risk through CDO with companies like AIG. S&P said these are AAA+ bond and sold them to all the suckers around the world. There are no hearings where banks are begging 'Please don't make us lend to poor people. Oh the horror!'
When the whole mess came tumbling down it almost destroyed the world economy. But you blame poor people if it make you feel better.
Maybe we can part him out?
I don't know. What do you suppose you can get for circus peanuts, lard, pork and muddy waters?
What you say is the way I've been taught too. But what if it doesn't work. Just because we want it to doesn't make it so. I don't begin to know the solution. But we should be able to talk about.
What I'm saying is the game might be fixed. The board was picked by Eisner. Heck he had a school teacher his kids went to. So he has cronies picking his salary. It all seems so incestuous to me. And it is going on in lots of board rooms.
I wonder how Mr. Moore would like it if Mr. Obama fired the head of Michael Moore's company?
Would Moore change his tune then?
Watching Frank try to say "circus peanuts" five times in a row as fast as he could would almost be worth the invite though.
*lol* My first inclination was to shudder like Andrew. But you did bring some entertainment value to the idea.
Yeah, sure, it's all fun and games until somebody gets. . . uh, Franked. :-O
Another hamburger and Mikey will explore. Man, I hope he is filming himself that day.
PS-when is the UAW president going to get the ax? What's good for the goose ……
Rats. I thought there was a quickie way to do it.
I have three old Hugo Boss numbers I drag out of the closet just to scare people.
Do what I did, copy/paste. Hehe.
I lived in Mexico for five years. I watched black market capitalism in action every day. The oppresive kleptocracy kept taking every profitable venture and either outright assimilated it, or taxed it to death. There are more John Galts in Mexico than we'll ever amass here in the Norte.
But as to your riposte, the context of my remark was not about government itself, but government jobs and make-work, and I think you knew that. Cheap shots exchanged!
I do agree, however, that if they want Government money, they should expect government oversight. The problem is that it's my money. And yours. And where shall that idea stop? Every road you drive could be patrolled, much like the Federales in Mexico, with footling "public servants" enforcing whatever law is handed down by the Oligarchs.
The overcompensation (your term) of CEOs has not had a negative effect on our economy, even if you do say so yourself. You've offered not one shred of supporting evidence save for a strawman of a fraction. If you wanted to compare combined CEO salaries to the GDP, that may have some impact, but perhaps not the one you expect.
If you want everyone to stay to your original topic, stop muddling it with hand-wringing emotion about who has more in their bank account. Lack of opportunity due to government over-regulation and taxation has done more to squelch wages than any CEO salary could every hope to do.
Ew ew ick shudder.
Failed government? Well, yes. Meditate on the following list:
Public Schools – F for failure.
Public Housing – not fit to live in.
Public Transportation – loses money on every rider.
Public Toilet – nasty.
Public Swimming Pool – see above
Public Library – cheaper to issue the poor a voucher at Amazon.com
Public Accountability – Bwhahaha!
Public Defender – Guilty, your honor!
Public Nuisance – (see also government)
I've tried that, but plain text shows up each time. What are you copying from?

By the way I really need to buy a widescreen tv to replace my 27" tv because it only shows half of Michael Boar. Maybe that's a blessing.
No, I had to borrow them from my mom.
Don't hold your breath!
You may want to read Michael Malone's headline today.
So what are you guys copying and pasting from?
The other M&M is a complete hypocrite. I love these people that could never be anything no where but in America disrespect this country. Where else can an unattractive, overweight, high school graduate with little talent become a multi-millionaire.
I copied from Golani's post — like a Russian stealing an atomic bomb. I don't know where he copied it.
B-29s too.
I actually copied it directly from El Gordo's,
Yeah that ain't kosher.
Schweinhund! Ve vill make you pay! Only der Gordo can spell Mötley Crüe.
Probably got it from Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs.
My older daughter loved 'em. I pointed out to her that properly done, the name of the band would sound a lot like "Mertley Cree." Donkey fieldmouse for keeping your secret.
And now we can too!
FAA–Big screwup. All they did after 9/11 was federalize airport security, effectively making it take longer and cost more. The safety of our skies is a direct result of President Bush fighting something called the War on Terror. You're welcome.
FDA–The amount of new medicines on the market drastically decreased when the FDA went on its power binge in the 1970s. The balancing increase has yet to happen, and as long as the FDA keeps extending its reach, we'll soon be producing as many new medicines as Canada. (That's zero, Kenny.)
In the context of what the nation's founders built–especially with regards to the limits on what government can do to the people–this government has failed, and Obama is only upping the ante. Mexico for sure has a failed government, and the president we have that you love so much is crazy eager to jump on that same boat.
Maybe try reading some history books? You know, ones written by actual historians. You can try it after you move out of your mom's basement.
You can tell this guy learned a lot about articulating ideas and arguments with his public school education. "Well, it's like THIS, and if you don't say that, you're DUMB!" Brilliant. You should go run for office.
In Venezuela.
I think Michael Moore and the Leftist Congressman (and a hefty few of the RINOs) should be treated to a Million Man March of pitchforks and torches…with every eye bent towards herding them into the Capitol Rotunda and made to read the Constitution out loud ad nauseum until they are so heartily sick of hearing it that they either scream they give up and want out, or give in and say "Ok Ok, we'll do what you want."
Either way, I want the Fear of God and the Fear of Our Founders put into these guys.
Good Lord, I wish tar and feathering were still an option…
You are so clever.
