I recall my father telling me that when FDR passed, my grandfather’s reaction was “God d*mn all Roosevelt’s.”

all this hand wringing over what has happened to our country......

I believe it was Ben Franklin when asked what kind of govt we were going to have, said "a Republic, if you can keep it"

well, we couldn't keep it...

lets be honest, democracy on its face does not work once people can vote goodies for themselves....

it was predictable that our "republic" would eventually succumb to mob rule....

predictable that the rich would move to protect themselves and enhance their wealth...

so now what....

is there any govt in the world today NOT corrupt?...NOT totally controlling their citizens?....

the question is what do we do now...
