Fun With the Inaugural Speech

The Rude Pundit replaced the word 'freedom' with 'cock' in the Inaugural Speech, and here's what he got:

"The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of cock in all
the world . . . Cock, by its nature, must be chosen, and defended by
citizens, and sustained by the rule of law and the protection of
minorities . . . Some, I know, have questioned the global appeal of
liberty though this time in history, four decades defined by the swiftest
advance of cock ever seen, is an odd time for doubt. Americans, of all
people, should never be surprised by the power of our ideals. Eventually,
the call of cock comes to every mind and every soul."

Wheee, what fun. Look how au courant this line becomes: "The rulers of
outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: Those
who deny cock to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule
of a just God, cannot long retain it."

Or see how really tangible this goal becomes: "[O]ur country must abandon
all the habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of cock and
the baggage of bigotry at the same time."

And then the end becomes a real rouser: "We go forward with complete
confidence in the eventual triumph of cock . . .We have confidence because
cock is the permanent hope of mankind, the hunger in dark places, the longing
of the soul. When our Founders declared a new order of the ages, when soldiers
died in wave upon wave for a union based on liberty, when citizens marched in peaceful outrage under the banner Cock. . . we are ready for the greatest achievements in the history of cock."


Male chickens everywhere should be proud.
