"Bill Clinton is not the problem. The dismally stupid American people are the problem. It's they I fear. Let us take comfort in the fact that majority opinion in this country has seldom pioneered greatness. It has nearly always been the minority who cherish freedom. What we are witnessing is a predictable cycle--a law of political science as every bit unalterable as the law of gravity--as so eloquently explained by Prof. Tyler two centuries ago: That democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government, not due to any one corrupt leader, but to the rule of the masses who become dependent on government. It is any wonder that the Founders Fathers tried to prevent democracy? Yes. We are nose diving into socialism, not because of Bill Clinton, but because of many of the people surrounding you in rush hour traffic. It's the masses we march against, and I can think of no better way than to vote Libertarian and abandon the Republicrats. In addition challenge every Clinton defender you know to name the three branches of the federal government and explain the function of each. When they can't (which in my opinion is nearly all of them), simply dismiss them as unqualified to form a serious opinion." -poster "JJ", 1999-Feb-11, from the georgiapolitics Message Board
