Well the good old U.S.A. has had a good run. Rush Limbaugh was quoted when Obama was elected in 2008 “I hope he fails”. Unfortunately The president has been successful… in transforming the country.
Of course all this was predicted.
“Democracy… while it last is more bloody the either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never last long. It soon wastes, exhaust, and murders itself. There has never a democracy that didn’t commit suicide.” John Adams.
“America will never be destroyed from outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms it’s because we destroyed ourselves”. A. Lincoln
And a few quotes from the foreigner Alexis de Tocqueville
‘The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers it can bribe the public with the public’s money”.
“Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible vale to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty. socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”
I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but they can be no doubt that such men do not run.” (some do, they’re just not chosen)
“Americans are so enamored in equality, they would rather be equal in slavery then in freedom.”
Yesterday San Diego Ca. the rights of Trump supporters to peacefully assemble was trampled upon the “brown shirts” of the Democrat party partly inspired by the rhetoric of one Ms. Clinton and encourage by the Mayor. “All means of protest short of MURDER is justified”. To the “Left” the end always justifies the means.
We live in interesting and scary times.
