"Viagra for the leviathan"

A clever blogger called the Obama porkulus package "viagra for the leviathan." Viagra here means enhancement of power; leviathan means government control over the function and performance of America. Get it? When given power, liberal Democrats (liberals period) waste taxpayer money to further their ideology or agenda. In Washington today, their 4 Cs of battle are command, control, communication and intelligence and computer technology, are all about retaining power over the people. For liberals, any amount of money justifies itself to serve their causes. Even during the Depression, in 1936, for example, 6700 ‘artists,’ supported by the citizens’ dollars, created stuff - worthwhile or not. One project, the guide books to the 48 states, have now virtually gone down the memory hole as well as most of the pages of print and canvases to support selected ‘artists’ ( many of whom were Communists). No matter. Physical labor to the intellectual class will always be menial and ‘higher’ artistic callings will always be heard. Liberals then, as well as now, consider money to support their party well spent. Yesterday I beheld a politically correct sunset which was liberally overdone with an array of diverse colors from the sinking red globe, to a strata of pink, yellow, violet, cream and white against the western horizon. Such beauty reminds me that I and the company I keep contrast with the liberal, socialist left. Like Lincoln, whose 200th birthday we just commemorated on February 12th, we are known and remembered by the company we keep.
