Bush Brother

Doug challenged us:

Who said this and where?

"In the long run, government systems are not maintained by the pressure of violence, but by faith in their soundness and in the truthfulness in which they represent and advance the interest of the people".

If you don't know at least say whether you agree.

There is no prize offered.

Glenn responded with:

Your political quote sounds like one by Abraham Lincoln regarding the country divided during, before, after the Civil War; but probably it was a speech by Richard Millhouse Nixon regarding the dissent in this country during the Vietnam War; or some unobtrusive president like Harrison or Hoover; of maybe it was not an American politician at all, and maybe not a president.

Good quote, although it is Pollyanna as hell. Government systems are maintained by lobbyists, greed, homosexuality, big oil interests, cronyism, lies, deceit, adultery, pedophilia, and money, that demon Bigbuckus. Idiots like George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, are shamelessly controlled by their "advisors" who are bed with every oil sheik, demagogue, dictator, drug baron, and asshole in this world that serves their interests and need for MORE PROFIT! Long live, Viva, Vive Capitalism!!!! We all "know" this, and Bush's administration has shoved it down our throats for 7 years with liberal helpings of bogus taxes, and useless killing and maiming of our youth in a 21st century Crusade.

Don't get me started.

Doug wrapped it up with:

The quote on the Feb 1 post is from "Mein Kampf" written by Adolf Hitler.
So what, you say?
What about people today who tell you such things?
Huh?
Whattaboutem?

Slick promises mean nothing.
Results are the thing to watch.

I have no idea what that might mean to today's political situation.
Do you?


It is enough to give you more than pause, enit? It is like comparing the basic principles of Fascism to our present administration.
