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.
— Van der Leun

Bravo!
Perfect
He speaks the truth, and with an epic Dennis Hopper vibe. Never heard of this guy before, but I like his rant.
Horse crap. When dealing with men, you slap ’em like Don Vito slapping Johnny Fontaine.
“You can act like a man!”
Or, for the pansies, slap ’em like Joseph the Indian slapping Mel Gibson the eponymous “Maverick” which also has the greatest of the great Jimmy Garner.
When dealing with women, a married man ought to know he is always being dealt with and not the other way around.
And for God’s sake no slappin’ ’em no more, Connery notwithstanding.
Spankings.
