Actually, that's Ron Paul's line.

A person can learn much wisdom from Groucho Marx.

"Why is it that as soon as they get rich, they become Republicans?" - Groucho Marx

I'm not sure that Groucho would have been a fan of this website.

Well, since no one's posted it yet, here we go:

Jamison (Zeppo): There's something that I'd like to state
That he's too modest to relate.
The Captain is a moral man.
Sometimes he finds it trying.

Spaulding (Groucho): This fact I'll emphasize with stress:
I never take a drink unless
Somebody's buying.

Crowd: The Captain is a very moral man.

Jamison: If he hears anything obscene,
He'll naturally repel it.
Spaulding: I hate a dirty joke I do,
Unless it's told by someone who
Knows how to tell it.

Crowd: The Captain is a very moral man.

Hooray for Captain Spaulding,
The African Explorer.

Spaulding: Did someone call me Schnorer?

Crowd: Hooray hooray hooray!

Jamison: He went into the jungle,
Where all the monkeys throw nuts.

Spaulding: If I stay here I'll go nuts.

Crowd: Hooray hooray hooray.

Crowd: He put all his reliance
In courage and defiance.
And risked his life for science.

Spaulding: Hey hey!

Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont): He is the only white man
Who covered every acre.

[Note: This line is often edited from the film, and the version from which the sound clip was taken is no exception] Spaulding: I think I'll try and make her.

Crowd: Hooray hooray hooray!

Crowd: He put all his reliance
In courage and defiance.
And risked his life for science.

Spaulding: Hey hey!

Crowd: Hooray for Captain Spaulding,
The African explorer.
He brought his name undying fame,
And that is why we say:
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Spaulding (spoken): My friends, I am highly gratified at this
magnificent display of effusion. And I want you to know -

Crowd (interrupting): Hooray for Captain Spaulding,
The African explorer.
He brought his name undying fame,
And that is why we say:
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Spaulding (spoken): My friends, I am highly gratified at this
magnificent display of effusion. And I want you to know -

Crowd (interrupting again): Hooray for Captain Spaulding, The African explorer.
He brought his name undying fame,
And that is why we say:
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Spaulding (spoken): My friends, I am highly gratified at this
magnificent display of effusion. And I want you to know...
(singing): Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African Inquirer.

(spoken): Well, somebody's gotta do it.

And foithermore, what the elephant was doing in my pajamas, I'll never know.

Groucho was a lifelong Democrat.

I think that he might of had fun commenting here, even though he was a democrat, for judging from his humor he had a mistrust of government and a intolerance for fools. He did say though that "I don't want to to belong to any club that would have me as a member." Unlike Karl Marx his politics were unimportant, his legacy was his humor. If there is a trait many Americans share, regardless of their differences, it is a sense of humor. From Ronald Reagan's quips after being shot to General Mcauliffe's reply of "nuts" at Bastogne humor can also be a flag of defiance and strength. In short, I value Groucho Marx's ability to make me laugh regardless of what he would of thought of this website.

Your proposition may be good,
But let's have one thing understood,
Whatever it is, I'm against it
And even when you've changed it or condensed it,
I'm against it!

I'm opposed to it,
On general principles, I'm opposed to it.

It doesn't matter what you say,
It makes no difference anyway,
Whatever it is, I'm against it
And even when you've changed it or condensed it,
I'm against it!

For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night 'til morn,
Whatever it is, I'm against it.
And I've kept yelling, since I first commenced it,
I'm against it!

Groucho was a lifelong Democrat.

Democrats back then were not America haters as the CommieRAT party has now become.
