I'm not sure of the point of your continued posting of that quote.

Are you suggesting that when Obama becomes a dictator that we can all blame the divisive Ted Cruz and the Tea Party?

Well he already is a dictator and so far Ted Cruz (and maybe Mike Lee) is the only politician I have seen who has dared to point that fact out to the American Public. Everbody else seems to have their heads buried in the sand hoping that Obama will just go away.

History... is, indeed, little more than the register of the 'crimes, follies, and misfortunes' of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this - that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
~Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, The Philosophy of History, "Introduction," 1807

The effects of human wickedness are written on the page of history in characters of blood: but the impression soon fades away; so more blood must be shed to renew it.
~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827

[I]t was that there are no simple lessons in history, that it is human nature that repeats itself, not history.
