Jeffords: Mandate for the Middle (HA!)

Judas Jeffords has been a boon to the pet food industry. You see, after his back stabbing of last year, there is simply no chance that the northeast dairy compact will survive. Shortly, all the marginal dairy farms in New England will be selling their herds to pet food companies and I'll be able to buy milk for less than $3/gallon.

My dog thanks you Jim. Now go away and shut the hell up, you're irrelevant!!

I ask you to notice the part about "Universal Education."

Some selections from "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler:

"The German people have no idea of the extent to which they have to be gulled in order to be led."

"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one."
"All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those towards whom it is directed will understand it. Therefore, the intellectual level of the propaganda must be lower the larger the number of people who are to be influenced by it."

"Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise."

"The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don't ask for their love; only for their fear."
"The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category. "

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
...sometimes, Hitler makes sense too:

"Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction."
When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already...What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."

"The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force."
"What luck for rulers, that men do not think."
