Don't you just love folks that say one way and act another?

If anyone cares to contribute couplets to this I will edit them, and those selected will be added, named or anonymous.
Building a compendium of Hippocritic Oaths seems a worthwhile activity.

1

Save the world, no ifs, ands or maybes,

Then home from the rally to make more babies.

2

Against Big Government, carps and rails,

Wants bigger population – it never fails.

3

Against Big Government carps and wails,

Fights family planning - big population prevails.

4

Plants grass in the desert, gives secret soaks,

First to squawk when reservoir chokes.

5

Insists on breaching wall, separation of church and state,

But out-lobbied by another sect, belabors country’s fate.

6

News anchor insinuates opinion into a story – his own,

Then wonders why his audience is up and gone.

7

When crime statistics get high, cries and sobs,

Then crucifies police for doing their jobs.

8

Cries under-representation in councils that rule,

When it’s time to vote, find other things cool.

9

Wails about the traffic, it’s so awful bad,

Then fights family planning – so sad.

10

Yells for immigration reform so hearty,

Wants new voters for political party.

11

Fights immigration reform, business is your neighbor, 

Really wants undocumented, cheap labor.  

12

Preaches for immigration reform to all in sight,

But the important details never see light.

13 Anonymous

Puts the kids on a vegetarian diet,

Sneaks to McDonalds across town

14 Ron Hull

Preaches purity while assuring everyone will get rich,
fleeces the sheeple while bedding the right niche.

R. Leland Waldrip

Earth-centric Humanity at the Crossroads by Martin Treon

For the reasons I describe in this book, the world-wide suffering, death and extinction of humanity is very likely to occur, unless nonviolent and democratically determined radical and revolutionary personal and societal actions and changes are taken
