"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
We are getting closer and closer to the day when a demogogue can present himself and be elected dictator without any checks and balances. We have had two Dem nominees whose colleagues in the Senate didn’t like or support. Parties used to vet candidates, but they are weaker, now. We don’t need any more propaganda driven democracy based on focus groups and sound bites.
