Lincoln famously said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” Barack Obama believes you can indeed fool all of the people all of the time. All you need is a compliant and corrupt media.

Boxes within boxes
Circles within wheels
Chicken coops and foxes
Ain’t nobody squeals
All a phony scandal
Not a dog to bark
Seen by snuffed out candle
Shadows in the dark
Playing games at White House
Roulette like as not
Quiet as a church mouse
Russian rules, one shot

The unholy alliance between the Democrats and the unions has resulted in the collapse of the first major city in the United States, but it will not be the last. Money in the future for votes in the present looked like an easy way to permanent office, and it was, but the cost was permanent poverty. The Democrats and the United Auto Workers have reduced a city of two million employed and financially secure middle class people to seven hundred thousand mostly black uneducated, unemployed and unemployable citizens living in a crime ridden falling down ghetto. But of course it wasn’t the fault of the politicians or the UAW. Everything would have been fine had it not been for the racist and bigoted white middle class moving out and for the George Bush recession of 2008. So once again the system, whites and the uncaring Republicans have stolen all the dreams of the young and talented.

Yes once again fate steals the dreams
Of those the gods have given much
From Walter Reuther to the Dems
Who had for years the golden touch
The cars rolled off assembly lines
And wages, pensions rose to heights
Unseen in modern working times
All unaware the future bites
When promises are not sustained
By growth and honest City Hall
Until the factories grew dark
Shut down with none to heed the call
Studebaker, Packard, Nash
They shut their doors and closed their books
Dismaying not the union boss
Deterring not the many crooks
The Pistons, Lions, Tigers play
On shirts the word Detroit looks nice
But it’s a sham, the city knows
It’s not just Red Wings on thin ice

We are ruled by the bureaucracies. Elections matter little; the man or woman at the top is changed periodically, depending on which party wins, but the bureaucracy never changes. For eighty years the Left has been stocking the bureaucracies with its people, because that’s what they do, they know that eternal power lies in the bureaucracies. The bureaucracies are all hard Left now, vote straight Democrat more or less, and are answerable to no one, least of all Congress and the Constitution. Let an honest citizen come afoul of the EPA or the IRS and the silly idea that an American is innocent until proven guilty of something is laughed away. If Washington DC were nuked tomorrow two species would survive; the cockroaches and the bureaucrats.

Protected by their union rules
They flaunt the law unheeded
With buildings bulging with the mass
Of bureaucrats unneeded
Bureaucracies like IRS
And EPA are studded
With people who, like dinosaurs
Are properly cold blooded
