I sit here in my small cell, surrounded by dead mice and my own excrement. I have not eaten for two days, and I can still hear the screams of my wife and child as I was dragged from my apartment by the Chinese Secret Police. You see, China is a dangerous place. A dangerous place, that is, for those who wish to express the deepest sentiments of their hearts in thought, speech, or deed. There is no self, only the State.
This is why, even in my current deplorable situation, my insides writhe in anger and confusion not at my own government, my oppressors, but rather at the mass of blind people across the great sea, the American people. They are blind to their freedom; they are blind to the fact that they can make all their dreams come true. A large majority of these people wish to elect a man by the name of Barack Obama as president. The people scream "We Want Change!!" Yes, the very people who not so long ago rose up in the face of tyranny and gave their blood and souls for an idea, and idea called freedom, those same people now wish to become mere puppets in the hands of an evil man with a black heart (black heart meaning "evil heart". In no way was it meant to refer to Obama's skin pigmentation). Yes, the American people have tired of working for livelihood. They are now content with feeding off those who do work. The American people have tired of the strenuous work involved in staying alive. They now wish to be put on government life-support. The American people have tired of being Americans. The American people wish to throw themselves at the feet of a madman, and tear down the mighty tower of HOPE and FREEDOM which has been erected on the lands of Red, White and Blue.
What, one may ask, should the others - those few people whose eyes have not been blinded by the cunning spirit of good intentions - what should they do? Simple. They should band together and voice their thoughts in loud opposition to this grand slaughter of the human condition. Yes, we want change. But to accept the same change as Obama, is to, as a great Chinese poet once said, "Hentsu naghqa hdichi gainxhui" (roughly translated as "Shove the chicken into one's rectum even further")
I sit here, in China, swimming in dung, yet I am not bothered. What bothers me is the knowledge that Democrats wish to put themselves, through their votes, in the same feces-filled cell as I. They are like babies, dancing in glee at the warmth in their pants, unaware that soon, if care is not taken, they will be killed by the flies.
