Mencken the Prophet

HT to Vanderboegh

“As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron.” — H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, 26 July 1920.

  2. You talking about the bi-racial dude who identifies as black with a white mama who Jesse Jackson thought wasn't black enough?

    Or do you mean Joe Biden's "mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy"?

    Turns out he's more red than anything else.

    Because stupid people vote. Got it, Dad29.

    Fine. Let’s round up those individuals who voted for Obama, politically castrate them, and have the Christian conservatives govern the country without their input. Sounds like a plan. Nothing can possibly go wrong. Where’s St. Revolution to get off his lazy ass and do something productive in this endeavor?
