    Those who do not read history...

    Just this evening I was talking to a relative who complained about the endless layoffs at her company, the rising costs of health care, how her salary was stagnant while the CEO got rich, etc.etc.etc.

    I said: "Good, you finally get it. The Republicans are ripping us off with their lying and unnecessary war to make a few filthy rich."

    Her answer: "Good God! The Republicans are the only thing that save us. The Democrats would have driven us into the ditch by now."

    You can't stop a train if you haven't a clue what an engine sounds like.
