A remider for those who have forgotten the history of the 20th century

"...intelligent people, not so different from ourselves, have experienced the collapse of a republic before. It is one example among many. Republics, like other forms of government, exist in history and can rise and fall. The American Founding Fathers knew this, which is why there were obsessed with the history of classical republics and their decline into oligarchy and empire. We seem to have lost that tradition of learning from others, and we need it back."

Oh....who gives a shit from a rag sent by a flaming liberal?

If it was up to liberals, we would be a socialist nation. They don't care about the greater good,
security, defense, or level discourse. All they care about is POWER and RULING.

Asked you before....What Navy did you serve in?

"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large, and more especially to give them knowledge of those facts, which history exhibits, that, possessed thereby of the experience of other ages and countries, they may be enabled to know ambition under all its shapes, and prompt to exert their natural powers to defeat its purposes."

I think I've got my finger on the pulse here. He's Donald Duck. Always quacking incoherently about something or another. And wears a Sailor suit designed by Walt Disney.

Really bully? You chose to ignore all of those elementary SPELLING classes, and have no idea what SPELLCHECK is, and you are telling us not to forget History??

Your Hypocrisy is showing again. Especially since you obviously believe HITLER was a Hero of yours.
