Quote of the day...Relevant to today
Delusions about democracy are subverting peace and freedom. The American system of government is collapsing thanks to ignorant citizens, lying politicians, and a government leashed neither by law nor Constitution. While presidents and pundits harp on democracy’s inevitable spread around the world, it is perishing at home. - James Bovard, author of Attention Deficit Democracy

As we liberals warned Bush and his crowd of idiots and thieves, if you impose democracy on these cultures right now, they'll probably just vote it away.

It isn't just conservatives that have tried to spread democracy, Jersey. From Woodrow Wilson and TR to Truman and LBJ, the left has gotten us into a fair amount of quagmires as well.
DeleteVoting democracy away happens a lot, such as the instances in Latin American countries where the people voted for a single-party dictatorship socialist over a democratic leader.
ReplyDeleteCertainly can't disagree with either assertion.
