Dear George,
It is time we put an end to politics. Partisanship has the unfortunate habit of keeping the party in power honest, and honesty has no place in the Corporatist State. The primary duty of the State is to market its policies. No marketing campaign can succeed if a gaggle of critics insists on pointing out its defects.
Congress struck a blow against politics in the days following World War II when it decided to take a bipartisan approach to foreign policy. This decision made all sorts of overseas mischief possible. The rationale for this dilution was “National Security.” National Security is to America what anti-Semitism was to Nazi Germany. Both became instruments of oppression. Granted, the Nazis were one whole hell of a lot more malevolent. However, the good despot knows that oppression is oppression regardless of the level of evil involved. Besides, while we know the Nazi body count, we don’t know how many we’ve slaughtered in the name of National Security, both directly and through our proxy military dictatorships and their death squads.
As your administration continues to unravel, it becomes increasingly imperative that you put an end to domestic partisanship. National Security is waiting in the wings, ready to rush to your assistance. Tell America that your Eternal War of the Empty Policy respects no national boundaries. America is as much of a battlefield as is Iraq. It follows that domestic policy must be as nonpartisan as foreignpolicy if America is to retain her position as the world’s solitary badass.
Take your plea directly to the American people. Accuse the Democrats of playing politics in their feeble attempts to restore a constitutional balance of power to the political arena. Drive home the point that partisanship is endangering our troops. A war is successful only if the commander-in-chief gives off an aura of inerrant strength no matter how inept he is. Shining a spotlight on the commander’s incompetence only undercuts his authority.
In the Corporatist State, the leader’s lack of ability is no excuse for criticizing authority. This is why Rudy is the man to replace you. The guy simply cannot tolerate criticism.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
