Of course we are more than just a little F**ked, we are well and truly F**ked, and this crop of losers did it to us.
The people in charge of this Administration are simply not normal, responsible competent adults, they are perpetual adolescents with psychopathic personalities with no sense of shame for the pain their misconduct is about to inflict on this country..
If I had done to this country what Christine Romer is largely responsible for, I would publicly commit Seppuku in apology to the American people
Reading the transcript, it's obvious that Maher set her up for the line. Wouldn't be surprised if they rehearsed it.
Essentially, the execrable Maher put the words in her mouth. But she's a fool for mouthing them.
‘...we are well and truly F**ked, and this crop of losers did it to us.’
We were well and truly f*cked long before this current crop of losers was born. Some say ‘twas Lincoln’s violating of the Constitution in order to preserve it. Others blame TDR, Wilson and the other “I know better than you what is good for you” progressives, or FDR’s moves toward a “Come to Mama” cradle-to-grave federal government. Johnsons’s Great Society set the lid on our coffin, and Nixon’s wage and price controls were several of the nails in that lid.
“The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a ‘warm body’ democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as ‘Bread and Circuses.’
‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome.”
