I never fully knew what a real Republican was-
some ideal lost and twisted by political plunder,
a great foundation laid then trampled upon
by us-and-them mudslingers shoveling each other under;
by partifying platformizing plagiarizing pretenders
stumping for personal riches, stumping for personal glory
for anything but the source of this country’s great history-
a beacon of freedom in the face of constant tyranny-
torn down and spit upon, from within…
Perhaps real Republicans are ever-changing,
perhaps they are conservatives estranged by the Party,
perhaps they are free thinkers, aligned with neither fat cat;
or perhaps they see too clearly Communism’s failures
and cannot, for the life of them, vote Liberal Democrat.
