Despicable Cesspool

November 19, 2007

I can’t stand DC. It swarms with cops, cement barriers, and black federal SUVs. Petty arrogance is everywhere. The government buildings are imitation Roman temples (with our role to sacrifice freedom, property, and peace to the gods therein). Most of the handsome homes, shopping, and restaurants are the product of theft on a massive scale. A friend pointed out that DC is even replete with satanic imagery. There is, of course, the chilling Pentagon (whose internal newsletter is called The Pentagram, he said). Most soldiers in the DC area are not allowed to wear their uniforms on most days; otherwise the militaristic nature of the regime might be a little too clear.
