(Found here.) Hoosier-born radio commentator Elmer Davis, in 1924: "The only visible difference of any sort is that the Republican party seems to contain a slightly higher percentage of crooks, and the Democratic party of fools."
The fool/crook balance tips this way and that but the upshot remains the same: we're governed by the evil and the stupid. And if we don't like 'em, we can replace them with the stupid and the evil!
Thats why we need someone like Dr Carson. A non political,intelligent,common sense President would be a breath of fresh air to this stagnate Republic
ReplyDeleteIsn't THAT the damn truth... sigh
ReplyDeleteA "non political, intelligent, common sense President"? There's no way he'd ever get elected. The road to the White House is jealously guarded by people with a huge interest in maintaining the status quo.
ReplyDeleteHand that man a cigar!
ReplyDeleteEh, I dunno. My take is more like RAH's:
ReplyDelete“Reform politicians not only tend to be dishonest but stupidly dishonest—whereas the business politician is honest.”
“I don’t see that Lazarus. History seems to show—”
“Use your head, Ira. I don’t mean that a business politician won’t steal; stealing is his business. But all politicians are nonproductive. The only commodity any politician has to offer is jawbone.”
Some things are eternal.....
