    "People get the Government they deserve" ...

    It's an old truism and it still holds true today, unfortunately.
    Bill de Blazio - unarguably the worst Mayor New York has ever had,
    yet it's people voted for him, and probably would again.
    The same holds true for all the democrat run cities such as
    Chicago and Baltimore where people are being shot raped and
    mugged every few seconds - yet those people voted for the
    politicians who put them through this misery day after day.
    It sure as hell makes you want to scratch your head and
    think about 2020. Are there enough idiots whose votes could
    turn the whole country in a bigger version of Chicago or Baltimore ?
    We'd better hope not, yet look at the absolute morons with their
    moronic platforms who hope to become the next democrat President.
    Do they know something we don't about the American populace ?

    Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time. And you can fool all of the people some of the time. But you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

    Let's hope he was right.

      The problem is there's too many people who aren't "the people". Illegal's, criminals, the dead and those who vote multiple times do not represent us, the people.

      You can pay off some of the scum all of the time. You can pay off all of the scum some of the time and you can pay off all of the scum all of the time.

        You are forgetting the National Socialists morons that are currently in political power/running for political power. Due to the dumbing down of people by the NEA 15 second sound bites and glittering speech is all they can absorb. Thinking is way too hard for them, just checking their phones for "social" comments and likes.

                "Wisdom" for "them" is having their diapers change on a semi-regular basis.

                  Lets don't get too critical........ Look at the comments concerning COW FARTS.. Of course from the Daily Mail. It's amazing that educated men would even have a comment about a COW FART. But again, maybe I just don't get the point. The Socialist Stooges are probably laughing their a$$ off.

                    Does the name Corey Booker mean anything to you?

                      Lincoln was a traitor and i care less about anything he says. IMO, people don't get the Gov. they deserve, There's a lot of sorrow and death around countries with natural resource and such countries are in dire need of a good governance but their leaders rather be dealers than an example for the future.

                        Putting aside the Civil War and all the animosity arising therefrom, I have to say that people DO get what they deserve -- look at us, we threw out a bad government and instituted our own. Any people who tolerate bad government deserve bad government.
