oneirophreniaHere's a collection of quotes from good ol' Mark Twain himself concerning the American government. Truer today than they were in his time, let me tell you....
But the thing is--almost all of these quotes are perfectly in line with the tenets of New Traditionalism! Witness:
"The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them."
THAT IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF NEW TRADITIONALISM! Our Party aims to bloodily erase the old, boring traditions of today and replace them with new, boring traditions of tomorrow in the name of defeating the forces of de-evolution.
"It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden."
DAMN RIGHT WE MUST! Duty Now for the Future! And our duty is crystal clear: we must bray and cuss and flap our mouths proudly, viciously, and unapologetically lean heavily on the World As It Is until we break it's motherfucking back and then sit on it until it stops breathing. There's a burden for you, World As It Is!
"All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity."
Hence the complete and utter disbanding of the American Congress in favor of the hand-picked bloodthirsty tyrants of the New Traditionalist Steering Committee, which will have no tolerance whatsoever for idiots, and no compassion for anyone other than themselves. It's all done for the good of the species, you know.
May the Great Dictator Himself (that is, me) bless you, Mark Twain! You're truly the Father of Our Movement!
