Bad Lip Reading

I asked him if it were a mirage, and he said yes.
I said it was a dream, and he agreed,
but said it was the desert's dream not his.
And he told me that in a year or so,
when he had aged enough for any man,
then he would walk into the wind,
until he saw the tents.
This time, he said, he would go on with them.
--Neil Gaiman

bad lip reading: Rick Perry edition

Let The Puppies Burn

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.
