Rhetoric and dialectics can't change what I have learned from observation and experience.

When a child my dreams rode on your wishes I was your son high on your horse My mind a top whipped by the lashes Of your rhetoric windy of course.

The design of Rhetoric is to remove those Prejudices that lie in the way of Truth to Reduce the Passions to the Government of Reasons to place our Subject in a Right Light and excite our Hearers to a due consideration of it.

President Obama's version of America is a divided one - pitting us against each other based on our income level gender and social status. His policies have failed! We are not better off than we were 4 years ago and no rhetoric bumper sticker or campaign ad can change that.

Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men.
