There is an arrogance of power in Washington, an arrogance not limited to the current occupant of the White House. Arrogance of the congressional leadership, who ram through legislation over the loud objections of the electorate, arrogance of the media who believe it is their right and duty to tell us what they want us to know and not tell us what they don’t want us to know, and the arrogance of the current president who asserts he knows best what is good for us and will damn well give it to us. This is the way of the Left, from Robespierre to Stalin, from Pol Pot to Mao Tse Tung, a communist murderer who killed upwards of sixty million of his own citizens to further his power, and whose portrait adorned the White House Christmas tree not so many months ago. To the Left, there is no such thing as Country, there is only the Left.   

The Left asserts, “The state is me!”

All else disqualified

The rest of us just pay the tolls

Along just for the ride

They cannot see where they are wrong

Cannot misstate or err

The country heading for the cliff?

Then onward we must spur

We’ve seen how quickly many times

Lese majeste befalls

The arrogant as men rebel,

Less majesty their calls
