-Caveat Lector- Government Is Evil, Part Deux by Bob Murphy When last we left, our hero was explaining that government is perfectly analogous to an abusive man. Politicians convince us that we need them, that they are the source of our self-worth. And this is why we tolerate their uninterrupted record of lying, cheating, stealing, and killing. The only way an abused woman can fix her life is to have the courage to admit that she has not simply been "unlucky in love." She must admit that her lack of self-esteem causes her to be attracted to those who mistreat her. Above all else, she must stop making excuses for the scoundrels that abuse her. "Oh, but he sent me flowers on my birthday!" Doesn’t matter. He beats you. "Oh, he said he was sorry, and that it will never happen again. This time, he was sincere. I just know it." Bunk. He says that every time, and every time he is lying. He will beat you again. "But I’m so lonely. Men don’t think I’m pretty. If I leave him, I might be alone forever." No you won’t. You don’t need him. Stop making excuses. "He said he loved me." He is lying. He knows that’s what he needs to say in order to maintain his power over you. He is incapable of loving anyone but himself. "Why are you being so mean to me? How dare you say it is my fault! You think I want men to hit me? Can’t you just acknowledge how awful my life is and comfort me? You are being very insensitive to my situation!" Tough. You have dug yourself into such a hole that only stern counsel will pull you out of it. If I tell you it’s not your fault, that maybe the next guy will be nice, I will be doing you a disservice, because you are not seeing the underlying problem. And so on. Now most women have the self-respect to understand the tragic foolishness of the abused woman who makes arguments like the ones above. Now, just for fun, let’s consider some of the political heroes of American women. Ted Kennedy Ted Kennedy does not give a s--- about women. He makes speeches about equal opportunity, etc. because that’s what he needs to say in order to maintain his power over you (and all Americans). He literally let a girl drown. Stop making excuses for him. Someone who does that (and philanders) has nothing but contempt for women, because they are so gullible and giving. Ted Kennedy learned how to lie to women from the old pros in his family. (Of course, many women readers were with me until that last line. "Now he’s gone too far! JFK was a wonderful man!" Bunk. How many times did he make his wife cry? Does a wonderful man do that? Stop making excuses. You’re in love with him because he was handsome, said exactly what you wanted to hear after being treated so badly by previous politicians, and, above all, because he had power. And don’t tell me he was a great president. Name one thing he actually did. Bay of Pigs? Yeah, that was sheer brilliance on his part.) Oh, but we need Ted Kennedy, right? Without him, abortion rights might be taken away. And who takes away abortion rights? The government. People from the Christian Coalition can’t force your daughter into a back alley. But the police can. Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton is a corrupt liar. No, I am not afraid of powerful or intelligent women. I am afraid of powerful, evil, cunning women (and men) who want to run my life. "I voted for Hillary because of what she went through. That poor woman." Let me get this straight: Hillary Clinton is the smartest woman in the world, and she had no idea that her husband was a pathological cheater? If her judgment is that horrible, do we want her running our health care system? Won’t she believe every promise made by devious HMOs? She cares for children? Then why did she choose to have a child with a scoundrel like Bill Clinton? Hillary Clinton is either incredibly stupid or incredibly evil. I vote for the latter. Janet Reno This one should be the easiest of all. Get ready, ladies: Janet Reno literally burned children alive. The government used chemical weapons against the Branch Davidians that have been banned in international warfare. Photos of the Waco aftermath show the charred remains of young children (too small for gas masks) whose backs were broken when the gas caused their muscles to seize up. Oh, but Reno was just trying to save them from their abusive parents, Bob! Stop being so mean and insensitive! Stop making excuses, ladies. Your heroes have been lying to you this whole time. You do not need them. Yes, men are pigs. That’s why when you give them the power to start wars, they use it. Yes, men _are_ pigs. But I’ve got another truism for you: Government Is Evil.
