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.
Why discussion of "democracy"?? The USA is not and never has been a democracy. In fact, a lot of our problems come from groups trying to force the USA republic into a "democracy" straight-jacket.
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.
That pretty much sums it up.
Gird Your Loins.
Been hearing this for two years. Only people behind bars are anyone associated with Trump over the years, and ridiculous imprisoning, too. I suspect you will never get the arrests you want.
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....
Actually arrests are well under way. Thousands of MS13 members are locked up. A bunch of child molesters are gone also. You can not get some people if the judges are in the same party.
HOW THE WHITE RACE IS LOSING A WORLD IT BUILT
actually
In two generations
I think the arrests were referring to the Deep State, not the illegals.
In free Republic early days Pat was vilified by the weak and multicultural
That doesnt advance your point. Why the compulsion?
You gave Pelosi no such preface.
Join the side youre on.
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.
