On Flapping Rectums

 "'Flapping Rectums' is a term I had coined some time ago, although, so far as I know, no one but me ever uses it. I use it as a substitute for the term 'Talking Heads' because it was apparent a long time ago that these people were certainly talking out of their anuses and the product was always either shit or a blast of hot air with a distinct and unpleasant aroma" -- The Overlord

James Burnham Warned You...

 "Where there is no alternative, there is no problem..." -- James Burnham

"There is no one force, no group, and no class that is the preserver of liberty. Liberty is preserved by those who are against the existing chief power.
