  2. Miss Brock is a hyper partisan leftie shill as it is a way for him to make lots of money. Have others donate plenty and send out tweets and e-mails a few times a day. What an easy job.

  4. When I hear someone say they are going to have Trump impeached, I simply say, “For what? Grounds for impeachment is ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’. Care to list the high crimes and misdemeanors he has been indicted, tried, and found guilty of?” And when they bring up Clinton, I simply say, “Perjury. Suborning a witness to perjury. Obstruction of Justice, all three of which he was found guilty of.”

  5. I’ve heard a fair number of americans sincerely wished BHO would be impeached, and with good reasons, at that, some say already too numerous to count.

    Good luck getting DJT impeached with fallacious reasons devised by butthurt whiners who didn’t get their way this time around.

  7. Yeah, if there ever were a president who could be charged with treason, it’s BHO, since treason is defined as provided Aid and Comfort to the enemy.

    Only problem would be we have not officially declared Iran or ISIS and enemy.

  10. Last Words

    I have alluded somewhat vaguely to the merits of democracy. One of them is quite obvious: it is, perhaps, the most charming form of government ever devised by man.

    The reason is not far to seek.

    It is based upon propositions that are palpably not true and what is not true, as everyone knows, is always immensely more fascinating and satisfying to the vast majority of men than what is true.

    […] The fraud of democracy, I contend, is more amusing than any other, more amusing even, and by miles, than the fraud of religion.

    […] The mob man, functioning as citizen, gets a feeling that he is really important to the world – that he is genuinely running things.

    Out of his maudlin herding after rogues and mountebanks there comes to him a sense of vast and mysterious power—which is what makes archbishops, police sergeants, the grand goblins of the Ku Klux and other such magnificoes happy.

    And out of it there comes, too, a conviction that he is somehow wise, that his views are taken seriously by his betters – which is what makes United States Senators, fortune tellers and Young Intellectuals happy.

    Finally, there comes out of it a glowing consciousness of a high duty triumphantly done which is what makes hangmen and husbands happy.

    […] Democracy always seems bent upon killing the thing it theoretically loves. I have rehearsed some of its operations against liberty, the very cornerstone of its political metaphysic. It not only wars upon the thing itself; it even wars upon mere academic advocacy of it. I offer the spectacle of Americans jailed for reading the Bill of Rights as perhaps the most gaudily humorous ever witnessed in the modern world.

    Try to imagine monarchy jailing subjects for maintaining the divine right of Kings! Or Christianity damning a believer for arguing that Jesus Christ was the Son of God! This last, perhaps, has been done: anything is possible in that direction.

    But under democracy the remotest and most fantastic possibility is a common-place of every day. All the axioms resolve themselves into thundering paradoxes, many amounting to downright contradictions in terms.

    The mob is competent to rule the rest of us—but it must be rigorously policed itself. There is a government, not of men, but of laws – but men are set upon benches to decide finally what the law is and may be. The highest function of the citizen is to serve the state – but the first assumption that meets him, when he essays to discharge it, is an assumption of his disingenuousness and dishonour.

    Is that assumption commonly sound? Then the farce only grows the more glorious.

    I confess, for my part, that it greatly delights me. I enjoy democracy immensely.

    It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing. Does it exalt dunderheads, cowards, trimmers, frauds, cads?

    Then the pain of seeing them go up is balanced and obliterated by the joy of seeing them come down. Is it inordinately wasteful, extravagant, dishonest?

    Then so is every other form of government: all alike are enemies to laborious and virtuous men.

    Is rascality at the very heart of it? Well, we have borne that rascality since 1776, and continue to survive. In the long run, it may turn out that rascality is necessary to human government, and even to civilization itself – that civilization, at bottom, is nothing but a colossal swindle.

    I do not know: I report only that when the suckers are running well the spectacle is infinitely exhilarating.

    But I am, it may be, a somewhat malicious man: my sympathies, when it comes to suckers, tend to be coy.

    What I can’t make out is how any man can believe in democracy who feels for and with them, and is pained when they are debauched and made a show of.

    How can any man be a democrat who is sincerely a democrat?

    — H. L. Mencken (1926)
