People learn from mistakes like those. The Bush Family and others figured out that a democracy is only as powerful as it is willing to stand up to outright corruption. Since the Democrats offer no credible counter-attacks, the same people who wanted to overthrow FDR by violence are now able to do the same thing bloodlessly, with voting machines, phony wars, and by allowing relatively weak enemies attack America. </p> http://laist.com/2007/07/27/did_grandpappy.php#comment-1158767 http://laist.com/2007/07/27/did_grandpappy.php#comment-1158767 Comments Sat, 28 Jul 2007 03:46:05 -0800 <p>Wow.
