Real World Address
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished
Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Here is an idea. The senate decides to let the defense go first and Republicans spend a week or two explaining what a farce this whole thing is. Then, just as the Democrats are to make their feeble case (again) Trump resigns handing the government over to Pence. He would say it is for the good of the country to stop this corrosive partisan warfare. The Democrats will be flummoxed and not sure what happened. Trump would appear gracious, magnanimous; “the bigger man” who stoops to conquer. Then Trump can spend the next nine months campaigning freed from the burden of governing. He is a better campaigner even than he is a president and I think he has done quite well as president. I was horrified four years ago as he systematically picked off the best and brightest the Republicans had. This would be a bit different. He can pick whoever he wants to run against in November. “I am so glad Harris dropped out. I was worried.” And she is back in. “I admire and respect Mayor Pete.” And all his support dries up over night. Next January, Pence returns to vice-president and Trump is back. It is like wackamole. They think they got him and he just disappears only to pop up again in November. Or maybe a tag team match is better. “Get in there Mike and then tag me back in next year!”
Not a bad play;
I’ve been envisioning a replay of
Nixon-Agnew-Rockefeller-Ford,
except with SteveBannon and TuckerCarson playing the parts of unelected Prez and Veep.
We don’t need more politicians, we need a Philosopher and Vice-Philosopher.
