Government of the self was the original basis for republican government, reflecting the view that civil society was much more than politics. Society was made up of men and women who gave order to their lives by entering into associations on a voluntary basis, quite apart from government, for all the various reasons of fellowship, philanthropy, faith and commerce.

Various angry, jabbering Islamists, especially those in America who have suborned our laws for their own agenda, repeatedly claim that “Islamaphobes” have given Islam and Muslim a bad name and harmed the cult’s image in the Civilized Word.
If The Truth Harms Your Image You Deserve To Be Harmed
It’d be more funny if it weren’t for the Muslims’ propensity for paper terrorism and lawfare against Americans since, as far as I can tell, the only thing harming Islam’s image and giving its adherents a bad name is the Muslims themselves.

Trojan® Brand Condoms are America’s #1 condom and have been trusted for over 90 years. For approximately 90 years Trojan has been the go-to prophylactic choice in America, outselling every other brand of condom year after year after year.
This is a bit strange since the brand is “oddly” named. It just shouldn’t call up imagery that people would find comforting in their birth control.
Trojan condoms is a pretty piss-poor name for a prophylactic. Think about it
The Trojan Horse entered through the city gates, broke open and loads of little guys came running out and ruined everybody’s day.
Definitely bad branding, but somehow Trojan condoms have overcome that and continue to be the best selling brand. 😆

Kraft Foods, Inc., in response to the continuing backlash caused by the online sexual deviance of ex-Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY) has decided to distance their subsidiary, Oscar Mayer’s brand from the New York pervert. They have quietly and unceremoniously dropped the word “wiener” from all their hotdog advertisements in favor of “sausage.”
Kraft hopes to keep their Oscar Mayer brand and its trademark jingle from being associated with the neo-adultery and ludicrous mendacity of the disgraced ex-Congressman.
Thanks to one sleazy, pathetic, adulterous politician, the word wiener has been stained to the point that we can’t associate with it anymore,” said Kraft spokesperson, Beau Lonie. “Now all you hear is ‘Weiner sucks’ or ‘that Weiner is disgusting,’ or other even more off-color jokes about it, and that’s not in line with Oscar Mayer products which are, and always have been, a children’s favorite.
We must think of those children and disassociate our brand from this sort of prurience.
Oscar Mayer and Kraft foods are just fortunate that ‘sausage’ scans the same as ‘wiener’ and will not require us to change our hot dog’s famous jingle, which has delighted Americans for 46 years, beyond this simple word substitution.
Rumor has it that the processed food giant is consulting with attorneys to see if they can sue Anthony Weiner for damages. This is based upon the fact that his surname is more correctly pronounced “Whiner” based upon its Germanic roots and spelling, yet he consistently chose to pronounce it as “Wiener.”
Rumor has it that Sabrett, Hebrew National, and Nathan’s, all closely linked with Weiner’s ex-constituency in Brooklyn and Queens, are also considering various brand saving and legal actions but are waiting upon advisement by the ADL before proceeding.
