Mencken just gets better as time passes.

....and government’s “redistribution programs” get worse.

What makes Mencken especially relevant is knowing that he was an honest Democrat. There used to be such an animal.

Mencken was not afraid to criticize FDR either.

The nearest think we have to Mencken today is P.J. O'Rouke. Except that Mencken was even more conservative.

It’s because WE, as a people, get worse. H.L. understood where the socialism he watched come here from Europe would ultimately take us. It has!

If you’re among the ranks of Americans increasingly concerned with where Obama and the leftist Democrats have dragged this country but believe that YOUR vote is inconsequential or irrelevant, spend a few minutes watching the video at the link below. It should be enough to get you to the polls tomorrow.  We’re living through a modern incarnation of ancient Rome’s “bread and circuses” as the Vandals stormed the gates.
Trust me when I offer that the outcome will be the same!
Let me tie this video to perhaps THE most critical issue bearing on our future. That’s the push by fedzilla to hike their assistance to college students for that much vaunted “higher education”.
With some exceptions notable by their rarity, the left dominates the academic institutions in this country. What better way to increase their numbers than to subsidize putting millions of OUR sons and daughters in classrooms controlled by ardent leftist indoctrinators? How many parents do you know who scrimped to put a kid into one of these places only to find the kid, home during a break, spouting leftist anti-capitalist nonsense? Our family isn’t very large – but I can name several.
Time to put some ADULTS BACK IN CHARGE!
Watch – and SHARE the video and this email – THEN GET OUT TOMORROW AND
VOTE!!!!!!!!
(While most all the issues these folks are advancing will take us far away from the traditional values that have made America the envy of the world – TO WHICH the oppressed flee – to a place from which we may never return, in classic “broken clock” manner, you will see a handful of positive issues in that fast flash sequence.)

My favorite quote of HLM is; They ought to hang a congressman every day from the lampposts on Pennsylvania avenue. you might not know where they're hanging them, but they'll know!
