I know – it's a terrible thing to utter in the midst of nationalistic cries professing the importance of voting.
We rebelled against a tyrannical King for this right.
Don't forget to vote!
Our forefathers perished by the thousands on the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima for this right.
Don't forget to vote!
Countless more died in the sweltering jungles of Vietnam so we could choose our representatives.
Don't forget to vote!
Ninety thousand U.S. troops are in Afghanistan protecting our freedom to vote.
Vote – because if you don't the Taliban wins!
But really – truthfully – it’s all bullshit wrapped in a big fucking patriotic lie.
You better vote – or they'll take away your guns, or your right to choose, or your hard earned paycheck!
So, yes don't forget to vote! And don't forget to say your prayers too!
Love it. It really is a lie, isn't it?
