"Then there are the Democrats. They are the most superb complainers in the land, but have not had an original idea since the 1930s. Most of those, in retrospect, turned out to be dreadful, and still harness the nation to a panoply of entitlement programs that threaten to bankrupt us."
I was just having that exact same argument with my liberal sister this morning. What you stated is exactly what I told her. So, there are at least two of us in America that see things for what they are, LOL! ;)
I should introduce your sister to my sister! They would get a long just fine. She is a wonderful person, but she is very, very liberal. Oy!
I am glad to be in Virginia after growing up in Massachusetts - where no tax is too large nor any outrage too small.
Cheers!
