This is the British opposition?

'The purpose of politics at that time [the 18th Century] was to seize control of a government's treasury and use it to distribute cash and jobs to the victor's friends. Think Halliburton and those hosts of Bob Jones University graduates swarming through the White House and the Iraq occupation administration. Think of the atavistic attachment to the death penalty, undiminished since the time of Tyburn Hill.
Even as the Founding Fathers complained about the overbearing demeanour of King George, they enshrined in the constitution a presidency with all, and perhaps even more, of the powers and perks of an 18th century British monarchy. George W has abused his own power and his own subjects far more consistently and effectively than Farmer George III ever did.'

If you read right through this piece, you brain will eventually fizzle, a little smoke will come out your ears and you'll die. This is caused by the presence of ignorance of such concentration that it might even burn a hole through the laptop screen and scorch the desk. I warn you.
