remember this one you of the 1960's??

Psalm of Nixon

Nixon is my shepherd, I shall  not want
He leadith me beside the still factories
He restorith my doubts in the republican party
He guideth me to  the path of unemployment
I do not fear evil, for thou are against me.

Thou anointess my wages with freezes, so
 my expenses run over my income
Surely poverty and hard striving shall follow the republican party.
 And I shall live in a rented house forever.


5000 years ago, Moses said, "Pack your camel, pick up your shovel mount your ass, and I shall lead you into the promised land."
5000 years later .... F.D. R  said, "Lay down your shovel, sit on your ass, and light up your camel. This is the promised land.

Today.. Nixon will tax your shovel, sell your camel, kick your ass, and tell you there is no promise land.
PS
I am glad I am an American .. I am glad I am free
but I wish I were a doggie and Nixon were a tree!


A modern day revision:


Psalm 2004:

Bush is my shepherd,
I shall be in want.
He maketh me to lie down on park benches,
He leadeth me beside the still factories,
He restoreth my doubts about the Republican party.
He leadeth me onto the paths of unemployment for the party's sake.
Yea though no weapons of mass destruction have been found,
thou continueth to fear evil.
Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy deficit spending,
they do discomfort me.
Thou anointeth me with never-ending debt,
And my days of savings and assets are all over.
Surely poverty and hard living shall follow me all the days of thy administration.
And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever.
