Democracy is only as good as the people who participate in it. Garbage in...Garbage out.
Pat always hits the nail on the head.
Schitt may be one of the first congressscum in quite some time to face the real prospect of a hemp party...
We are an unserious nation, engaged in trivial pursuits, in a deadly serious world.
Terrific article. Thanks.
It is a good thing that we are a Republic and not a democracy. Hillary would have all the assets of the country in no time. Trump is draining the swamp but it is fighting back. I can’t wait for the arrests to start.
Buchanan is brilliant. Even more so here than usual.
I choose optimism, though. I am no great fan of President Trump, but I respect him and have considerable confidence. Strangely, I trust Speaker Pelosi in ways that I do not trust other Democrats; and I predict without benefit of any evidence that these two leaders will keep the worst from happening.
I am not sorry that Pelosi has replaced the feckless Ryan. Having her as Speaker provides someone with whom President Trump can actually negotiate and strike deals.
I see Pelosi as smart, tough and in charge. I do not believe that she wants her majority wasted for the next two years on matters that risk only downside for her agenda. When push comes to shove I predict that Mueller, Schiff et al fold their tents and walk away from all of this nonsense. They may cast aspersions, but no charges and no recriminations. Pelosi may extract a quid pro quo — Hillary, Comey, McCabe, and that entire risible crowd skate too; and I think McConnell, President Trump and others take that deal in a nanosecond.
None of this dealing will sit well with the base of either party. But it will allow the country to move forward.
I will s*ck. And yet it is the best and perhaps the only way out.
Democracy: two wolves and a deer voting on what to have for dinner
....and ten years before Odungo was elected he crawl around Chicago bath houses on his knees....
HOW THE WHITE RACE IS LOSING A WORLD IT BUILT

They'd better be careful what they ask for.

>> “What does American democracy now offer the world as its foremost attribute, its claim to greatness?” <<
Fortunately, our constitution forbids “Democracy!”
Democracy is the very lest desirable form of governance. Democracy is a fox, a wolf, and a chicken voting on who is for lunch.
We must defeat democracy world wide.

Pat never wrote a truer sentence. It is deeply shocking what "we the people" are allowing our so-called elites to do to President Trump, his family and those who supported him.
That we elected to the presidency an unknown with the middle name of Hussein and a personal history of a Muslim education just 7 short years after Sept. 11, 2001 was bad enough. That we reelected him, and just recently installed a Socialist House of Representatives says we are in decline. If we allow the baying Socialist hounds to topple Trump, we are done as a nation even if the husk continues on for awhile.
“We are an unserious nation, engaged in trivial pursuits, in a deadly serious world.” Pat gets it!
We are the new Brazil....in many respects. De Gaulle said that “Brazil was not a serious nation” Brazil is always the country of the future...we are fast becoming the country of the past.
Tragic.
Buchanan hits the bullseye with this piece.
Calls out the trashy, lying, snakish democrats whose sentiment is rule or ruin.
Democracy is an inherently unstable form of government that is prone to failure eventually.
