BACK POLITICS 4'1m1f The ultimate effects of evolution on politics JUDGE -- (enters wearing black robe, carrying Bible, crosses to podium) Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to present the president-elect of the United States, John Jacob Johnson. (leads applause, holds out Bible) PRESIDENT -- (enters, crosses smiling and waiving to audience, lays left hand on Bible, raises Hand) I, John Jacob Johnson, do solemnly swear to administer the office of President of the United States and to uphold the Constitution to the best of my ability. So help me God. JUDGE -- (offers hand) Congratulations. (shakes, leads applause, steps back) PRESIDENT -- (shakes hands) Thank you. (acknowledges applause) My fellow Americans, this is an historic day in America. I have the privilege of being the first American president to be elected from the Darwinian party. JUDGE -- (leads applause enthusiastically) PRESIDENT -- It will be my great pleasure to lead America into the twenty-first century employing exclusively the principles of Darwinian evolution. JUDGE -- (leads applause enthusiastically) PRESIDENT -- And so, because Darwinian evolution eliminates a need for God, it is my intention to remove God from our great land. Beginning immediately, all churches, temples and mosques will be closed. JUDGE -- (leads applause enthusiastically) PRESIDENT -- Today is the last time you will see any public official being sworn into office (lifts and shows Bible) using a Bible. JUDGE -- (leads applause enthusiastically) PRESIDENT -- As you know, one of the basic tenants of Darwinian evolution is survival of the fittest. Therefore, I hereby declare null and void all laws and statutes that give artificial protection to the weaker, less fit species. JUDGE -- (leads applause enthusiastically, quits after two claps) What? We didn't discuss this. PRESIDENT -- Beginning immediately, it will be my privilege to eliminate all protection for endangered species, all wildlife refuges and all marshland conservation. If a species can't fend for themselves, they deserve to die. JUDGE -- This is not what we agreed to. PRESIDENT -- The same is true for all affirmative action laws for women and minorities and all hate crime laws. JUDGE -- I can't believe I gave money to this man's campaign. PRESIDENT -- Also, in keeping with survival of the fittest, I will hereby remove all limitations on abortion, mercy killing, gay bashing, wife beating and slavery. JUDGE -- What!? What about your oath to uphold the constitution of the United States? PRESIDENT -- I lied. Oh, that reminds me. Since all morals are from God, I also declare null and void all laws outlawing perjury, slander, rape, incest, robbery, fraud and murder. JUDGE -- You can't do that! PRESIDENT -- I have to. All those laws came from God. But now there is no God. And, since without God man has no intrinsic value, any citizen who is not useful to society, including the elderly, the lame and the retarded, will be terminated. JUDGE -- You mean murdered. PRESIDENT -- There is no murder without God. Only survival and dominance. Speaking of dominance, the majority race will now dominate and/or obliterate all other races. JUDGE -- This is preposterous! PRESIDENT -- Therefore, beginning tomorrow, all minorities, including all those who speak with a foreign accent, will either report to slave labor camps or be deported. JUDGE -- I can't believe this! PRESIDENT -- Any minority failing to report for deportation or slavery will be summarily executed. JUDGE -- You are a monster! PRESIDENT -- Not at all. It's merely survival of the fittest. Which brings me to my final edict. (turns to Judge) Because men are larger and stronger than women, women will be forbidden from holding public office. In fact, they will not even be allowed to vote or own land. JUDGE -- (exits in a huff) I will not stand for this! PRESIDENT -- (raises hand) Guards, seize that woman. She will be my first conquest. From now on, women are to be treated as sex objects and household servants. (exiting after Judge) It's only fitting in the world of evolution. �2013 Bob Snook.
