We punish this band of thugs by reelecting them over and over. As to American voters, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

Go back to Germany around 1939 for a fine example of this quote.

Wouldn't it be nice if insider trading was the worse thing our congress was doing.

Since our "public servants" became the masters.

Our current Dictator in Chief fears the internet and would love to control it from his throne in the Oval office. The Libs own the newspapers and the major TV news outlets so our last, best hope to get the truth out is the internet.

Cops are putting up roadblocks all over the place stopping cars to check for drugs and drunk drivers. These traffic stops remind us of the same sort of thing that took place in Soviet Russia and the Eastern European countries when they were behind the ""Iron Curtain." Traffic is always curtailed in communist countries. The sheeple will always put up with this sort of thing because they are only doing this " for our own good".

Unfortunatly, Obama is not a moron, he knows exactly what he is doing, and that is to wreck the economy of this country.

"Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure". L.Neal Smith

The Congress and the Dictator in Chief in the Oval Office are proof of this quote.

Well maybe at 5 bucks per gallon.

That's plain enough that even a liberal can understand it, well, maybe not.

Suzy, don't bet your life on it. Many of the "sheeple" are to lazy to vote and these pesky gas prices are working against our Dictater in Chief. At 4 bucks per gallon, people will wake up so stop with the defeatest talk.

The best government is the one that governs the least. I'm not sure that "best" and "government" belong in the same sentence. Thomas Paine said, "Government, even in it's best state, is but a necessary evil, in it's worst state an intolerable one."

One things for sure, the "majority" ain't always "right".

Might be some symbolic meaning here , just not sure what it is. I doubt that this would be much comfort to someone chained in one of Fidel's prisons.

I have serious doubts about" TheWisdom of Mankind" as I've seen little evidence of it. To the concentration of power in Washington, thanks go to Abraham Lincoln. As to "one man one vote" I quote H.L.Mencken. "Government brokers in pillage and elections are a sort of advance auction of stolen goods".

I'm with J on this one.

If almost anything is said often enough, it becomes a "fact" even when it's absurd. Like someone said, " It ain't what we don't know that causes all the trouble, it's what we do know that ain't so".

"Government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advance auction of stolen goods", H.L. Mencken

This quote sums it up very well. One thing that you have to say about Komrad Reston is that he is certainly consistent, never deviating from the radical left line.

Mann has it right. The mess this country is in is strictly bipartisan. The Repubs and the Dems are equally to blame.

Lying pays pretty well for the people in Washington, especially in the White House and the congress.

FactsMatter are you joking ??? Did our communist, Muslim president write that diatribe for you. Wake up and stop drinking the left wing Cool Ade.

Well said J, and remember, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. This is proven every four years in November.

The people wanted to make George Washington King, he refused. Obama has now decided that he is king. Hail to king Obama.
