INTERESTING PIECE FROM PATDOLLARD.COM

…“Democracy,” said H.L. Mencken, “is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.” The common people of New York want Schumer to be their senator, so they should pipe down about gasoline prices, which are a predictable consequence of their political choice…

    Yea, because we all know high gas prices are the Democrats fault. By our own governments highest estimates there is less that a 6 years supply of oil if we tap every available American resource. Drilling in Alaska, while important and necessary, is not enough to even make a dent unless people in this country stop being asshats who feel it’s their God given right as Americans to consume-consume-consume. But we all know that Jesus would be driving an Escalade or a Hummer.

    BTW - H.L. Mencken wrote about the Scopes trial and the book “. A Religious Orgy in Tennessee A Reporter’s Account of the Scopes Monkey Trial” is an outstanding read.

    “The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. 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 adorned by a downright moron.” (H.L. Mencken-Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920)

    I thought “democracy” was three wolves and a lamb voting on lunch choices.
