Do you ever wonder how it was that the America of the 1750s produced so many political geniuses? The population of the 13 colonies in 1750 was not quite 1.2 million, a bit less than the population of the Bronx today.
Here’s a list of famous Bronx politicians from Google: Peter A. Abeles, Melville E. Abrams, Robert Abrams, Bella Abzug, Eugenio Alvarez, James R. Angel, Benjamin Antin. Nope not a Washington, Jefferson or Adams in the bunch.
I couldn’t name a single politician in the past 50 years that has the intelligence, wisdom, judgment or articulation that was close to any of the Founding Fathers. We are led by idiots. Idiots with money and often university degrees, but idiots nonetheless.
Bella Abzug. That fat loud mouthed broad in the big stupid looking hats she used to wear.
