Democracy never lasts long

Quote
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.

Yeah, what the hell does this John Adams person know compared to a democrat underground mastermind?
Speaking of old white men, here's what another old white man would have to say about  DUmmy caroldansen:

When the people find that they can vote themselves money,
that will herald the end of the republic.

We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.

You would think that any rational human being would recognize that, but these infants?  I just don't believe they are capable of it.  Their belief in an A la Carte reality won't allow it.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Seriously?! Did DU-folk actually think for a femtosecond that Judge Gorsuch would not be confirmed? As I posted on another DU-Freak-Out thread:

Remember what Wilkins Micawber said: "No man is without a friend who is possessed of shaving materials."

If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

Nope, it doesn't DUmmies, and we DON'T live in one.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Except for the fact we don't live in one... I think you dummies and your ilk have done pretty good bringing the USA to its knees.
