When you create Hope in people, you create expectations. When you do not fulfill those expectations, when the change becomes more of the same old, same old, the Hope that was created can only turn to anger, frustration and bitter disappointment.

Together my friends, we will ride our ponies into a zombie-powered future.
We can afford all these wars; this, that, the other thing, why can't every American have a pony? If you break it down, if you do the math, the government could afford to give you a pony. Don't let them tell you they couldn't, they could.
Gingivitis has been eroding the gum line of this great nation long enough.
I'm a tyrant that you should trust, and you should let me run your life, because I do know what is best for you.
For too long, this country has been suffering a great moral and oral decay in spirit and incisors.
A vote for me is a vote completely thrown away.
It is only the dogmatic, and the humorless, that don't succumb to my charm.
I'm a friendly fascist.
Everyone's a mixed bag. I'm a utopian social anarchist, but I'm also a pragmatist.
The system! The whole stinking ball of wax. It's a scam!
Once every American has a pony then I can - by fiat, executive order or something like that - dismantle the federal government with a snap of my magic fingers.
It will create lots and lots of jobs once we switch over to a pony based economy.
Money should be for ponies, not for war, I think.
As a social anarchist, I believe that capitalism itself is an inherently exploitative hierarchical situation - you do have a boss, you do have somebody in charge.
Yes, I will promise you anything your little elector heart desires... Of course, I have no intention of keeping any promise I make.
I would love to see everybody get a pony, don't get me wrong.
Free speech is very important.
Jesus had told me to make Randall Terry gay.
The more ties you wear, the higher rank you are.
You should let me run your life because I know what is best for you.
I am a beacon of hope to a vast number of young people and others who are still disillusioned and disgusted with the system.
Strong teeth for a strong America.
One of the most important things about using a bullhorn is you don't have to yell over it.
My personal view of the anarch-capitalists is that it's an oxymoron.
Yes I am a politician - I will promise you anything your little electorate heart desires - because you are my constituents, you are the informed voting public, and because I have no intention of keeping any promise that I make.
A country's future depends on its ability to bite back.
I think I would make a much better president than Ted Cruz, and with a little luck maybe I'll get more votes, but I'm not counting on it.
I'm the only candidate that will fund time-travel research.
My answer to the climate crisis is, has, and always will be weather domes!
I have never intentionally been out to alienate anybody.
All club owners are vermin. So I was Vermin Supreme with my Fabulous Galaxy Lounge.
I've scrubbed many, many landmarks. I scrubbed the Kremlin back in '98. We had a mandatory-toothbrushing parade; we had the text of the mandatory-toothbrush law translated into Russian. And we had like 30 Russians; we had musicians; we had the giant toothbrushes. The police came and told us to stop, and we stopped.
Tom Brady should be a heartbeat away from the presidency, and that heartbeat should be mine.
Quite frankly, my constituency crosses a very wide swath of the political spectrum.
I think the important thing to understand about the free pony program is, of course, it is an absolutely free pony program, uh, there may be some incidental costs involved with pony social security or universal pony health care or the haystamp program so ponies won't starve in the streets.
I've run as a Democrat, but I was not a Democrat. And when I ran as a Republican, I was not a Republican. I was just utilizing the New Hampshire primary as a vehicle to put forward my satirical critique of the system.
When I was younger, it was very easy to ignore me because I was like some crazy hippie kid. But as I've gotten older, and I'm more gray and more lines on my face, it has given me a lot more gravitas.
I'm all about simple, elegant, and effective, and when I wear the rubber boot on my head, it draws a lot of attention.
Free ponies for all Americans!
As a rule, I feel more comfortable on the Republican slate.
My wife knows me as Vermin. My mother knows me as Vermin. For all intent and purposes, that's my name.
Anarchists believe we can run our lives without the government.
I have been developing a set of iconographies, and the free ponies are indeed one of the more successful ones. The free ponies are used in a pejorative manner towards politicians and others that are promising free stuff.
Can a serious party put up an individual perceived previously or continuously as a joke candidate? I say yes.
In a scholarly manner I have made it a habit to collect different crowd-control manuals, and I read them to the police sort of reminding them of basic tenants of crowd control, such as minimum use of force to effect an arrest. I tell... the police that they may have been put in a dangerous situation by their superiors.
The militarization of the police is obviously not a secret. And the militarization of the force is to circumvent Posse Comitatus.
The police represent the authority of the state, the willingness of the state to use violence to assert their will.
Well, mutual aid is a very critical and important thing. For a while, I was saying libertarians have no souls, but I promised them I wouldn't if they hammered home the importance of mutual aid.
I am a pragmatist. We are given what we have here in terms of government, so as an anarchist, okay, I'll lean to the Republican side of getting the government small enough to drown in a bathtub or whatever.
