American Citizenship Class 101

OK, Students -- Please repeat after me: Republicans have no hearts, (Republicans have no hearts), While Democrats have abandoned their souls. (While Democrats have abandoned their souls). Yet both parties are financial geniuses, (Yet both parties are financial geniuses). ~ When it comes to digging vast deficit holes ...

Somewhere along the way it became acceptable to live beyond our means, give what we don't have, etc, while individually we are taught to do the opposite. The wonder is that it hasn't collapsed by now. I like your way of pointing out the obvious with some humor.

What a non-surprise!! I think that they were the same back in Ancient Rome as well...The way of the world, I guess. Thanks for your comment, Tom. ~ Gershon

I can imagine any teacher teaching this fact would be promptly fired, Gershon. Witty lines of rhyme truthful of our time. All the best to you. :) ~ Artsie

Thank you for your visit and your comment, Sharon!! Much appreciated...Interestingly, only lines 3 and 4 and the last line are grounds for suspension or termination. And the last line can be statistically verified throughout the USA. I know. I taught citizenship classes in Democrat-controlled Chicago. The difference between the government of Chicago and that in Moscow is about 8,000 miles. That's it. LOL - the truth hurts, eh?! Best wishes, Gershon
