Maybe not, how's it shoot.

WOW!

Ed is absolutely wrong about our "free elections". If the Republicans legislated free college tuition for illegal immigrants and doubling the value of food stamps and just a few other minor modifications, they would never lose another election. The democrats are using that technique, negating any chance of a free election based on real facts and programs good for the country. Just throwing money at the largest voting block is not legitimate politics. I feel sorry for those of us who don't realize what is happening here.

From: What Our Forefathers Thought:

"Democracies always self-destruct when the non-productive majority realizes that it can vote itself handouts from the productive minority by electing the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury. To maintain their power, these candidates must adopt an ever-increasing tax and spend policy to satisfy the ever-increasing desires of the majority. As taxes increase, incentive to produce decreases, causing many of the once productive to drop out and join the non-productive. When there are no longer enough producers to fund the legitimate functions of government and the socialist programs, the democracy will collapse, always to be followed by a Dictatorship."

IMO: This quote ought to be stamped into the top of every desk of every Senator and Representative in Washington. It also ought to be painted in BIG letters on one wall of the Oval Office. It also should be recited by all schoolchildren every day right after the pledge of allegiance!

Jim

who are you quoting Jim? I doubt it was a forefather. I do not believe the term was in use much before Marx wrote his manifesto in 1848.

SKB:
This is NOT a direct quote. I used the quote marks because I took it as posted from another source. I've seen this sentiment before in similiar formats but I don't know who originated it.
Additionally I posted it because it coincides with eightbores post above.

Sorry about my use of the term quote and I can see where that would be misleading.

I feel as though I am shaking up a canister of gasoline, and am about to through it into a bonfire, but here goes.

Was it a founding principle of this website for all members to be assigned to either of two teams, for the purpose of passing some imaginary muster?

Happy Father's day guys. Go out and break some targets.

SKB, Thomas Jefferson said this:

�A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

And James Madison said this:

"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths..."

So it appears our founding father's shared the same sentiment as expressed in Jim's quote long before Marx wrote his Communist Manifesto.

I would think an Obama hater such as yourself would expend more effort confronting the lies posted by Liberal Socialists here. Just saying.

Just another example of ISS's extremely careless and sloppy posting. Time to clean up that act or just stop posting things unless they are accurately represented.

I just spent about 20 minutes Google searching for the author of Jim's quote and couldn't find it. But it is widely written and repeated verbatim. And it is so true and accurate that I think it's worth repeating even if we can't credit the exact author of it. However, I can state with relative certainty that King Brown didn't say it. Process of elimination.
