A Brilliant Prophecy From 93 Years Ago

A Brilliant Prophecy From 93 Years Ago
 
H.L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic, and Democrat. He wrote this editorial while working for the Baltimore   Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition.
 
"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."

Had to check it for accuracy before posting it on facebook. :)

This quote also describes democrats.

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as 'bad luck.'" -- Robert A. Heinlein

I thought we already had that with Clinnochio. Not to mention Carter.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
