With the open display of antipathy toward democracy in recent days–so-called “Democrats” using various tactics to avoid the outcomes of democratically-decided elections, beginning with the “Democratic” State senators of Wisconsin fleeing the state to avoid providing a quorum–isn’t it time the party was formally renamed the Anti-Democratic Party?
"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
Sounds good.
The Democratic party today has more in common with Hugo Chávez and his supporters than with Jefferson and their other co-founders.
This state of affairs regarding the Democrats is pathetic and does not resemble any democracy I ever knew in this nation. I agree with you that they are behaving anti-democratic, but I honestly believe that the Democratic Party be replaced by another party that represents the people and from where I sit, it has appeared of late that some Republicans are folling in the Demi way. All self-serving, anti-democratic, anti-American behavior that undermines our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. I see this nation slipping and while I do hold politicians largely responsible David, even worse is the uneducated citizenry – and I do not mean in the collegic sense, but those that refuse to be self-learned by reading, studying, investigating – they just take what the politicians do and the media dumps on them as “thus saith the Lord” and that is pathetic!
Lord knows politics isn’t my bailiwick. I voted for Ross Perot! LMAO
All I know about Democrats (if that’s what he really is)- is- I can’t wait for this particular one to be out of office.
Diane, for some reason, when I read your last statement, I kept hearing George Carlin put on his “commie-fag-junkie” voice…
Wouldn’t you like to play a nice game of chess, Professor?
Actually, TF, I would. I started the chess club we had in college, and during my first year of college my calculus grades suffered a tad because I spent my time playing chess rather than do my calculus “homework” (25% of the grade). I like chess. Used to deam in “chess”. Haven’t had anyone but my children or a computer to play with for years now, though.
