Re: Trump and Sanders

It’s like something out of the Twilight Zone that America might actually have to choose between these two. Looks like all those decades of dumbing down the American people has finally paid off.

It's not intellectual weakness that's brought us to this point: you can't argue that Americans a hundred years ago had a better intellectual understanding of the Constitution.

They had a better gut-level understanding, so that any politician proposing the outrageous taxes and regulations now burdening the country would have been tarred and feathered or hanged.

Our wealth has corrupted us by making us indulgent of vices both moral and political, and allowing decisions to be based on hare-brained sentimentality instead of reality.
