Most people know the line about Mussolini -- "He made the trains run on time."

Little known fact -- the trains in Italy didn't actually run on time when Mussolini was dictator.

I met an elderly gent years ago who grew up in Mussolini’s Italy. We talked briefly about “what it was like”. Finally, I said, Well, at least the trains ran on time.”. He laughed derisively and answered, “No, they didn’t. It was just very unhealthy to point it out.”

America is getting a dictator. The educational goals of the left have been met. Americans don’t realize what they have pissed away. There is finally a critical mass of stupid sheep ready for harvest. 0bamaphones, 0bamacare, 0bama this, 0bama that. 0bama votes. All phony. All lies and too many too stupid to notice or care.

It is becoming unhealthy to notice.

Henry Bowman, indeed. The choice has been to be a bootlickers or not. Soon the choice will be to wear it or lick it. Either way you will be expected to love it.
