Procrastinated today, so two sonnets to catch up. With all respect to the SEALS - and I've had a great deal of respect for them since I was nine - equally and accurately distributing praise for a good deed is only consistent with an effort to equally and accurately distribute blame for a bad deed. Obama distributes blame; conservatives place it all on him. Conservatives distribute praise; Obama places it atop his own head. Neither one is being remotely consistent. Do both, or neither. This debate is logically pointless.
There’s not a one that understands, but me. It’s arrogant, but hear me out – the Seals Are very much upset at the appeals The president is making, as a plea To boost his reelection. This is dumb. The man’s a politician; no surprise Should come that he is promises, and lies, A wad of self-promotion, unbecom-/ing Any man of honor. Dubya, too, And Clinton, Reagan, Bush, and Carter – all Have sold apportioned truths. If any call To vilify the man for being true To his profession ever brings him down, We’ve let our double standard up and drown. Besides, if all the blame for our estate Is all upon the leader, any praise Is also fully on the very pate That suffers ridicule for our malaise.
