He didn't believe in democracy; he believed simply in government.

Sounds like Democrats

He was a progressive just like Obama or John McCain.

well, this was an opinion piece.....but besides, which of us doesn't really believe down deep that OUR personal way of living, thinking, behaving is the BEST way.....

was it Jefferson who said that our constitution was made for a moral and religious people?...and that it would not work otherwise?

as much as so many people and especially freepers put down others because they are not "pure" conservatives, when it comes right down to it, doesn't the CHARACTER of our leaders mean the most?....if they don't have character, nothing matters....if they DO have character, even the worst govt can work...

for all of our hand wringing,even a McCain or a Romney had more character and patriotism in their little toe than the present circumstance..we would be better off, period...

It’s sad to think one with such intellectual might and great potential to lead was really just Chuck Schumer - reaching to the lowest common denominator whether he believed in it or not, just to win elections or get a good article or applause. See the other thread and take the time to digest HL Mencken. Masterpiece.

Well, I sure as hell don’t believe in Democracy. Never heard of a more stupid thing. The voting franchise should be a cherished privilege.
Don’t believe in “Government” beyond a certain point, either. Folks should be, in most cases, able live your life without ever having to deal with the Federales.
States should be able do pretty much what they want to within the limits of the Constitution.

Oh, well.
