Our rulers for more than half a century have made sure that we are never to be told the truth about anything that our government has done to other people, not to mention our own.

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.

Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little.

I would be literally patrician in the sense that the senators in ancient Rome were called conscript fathers, paters, from which comes the word patrician. So if you come from a senatorial family, you are literally patrician in that sense, but that doesn't mean that you couldn't be Billy Carter, you know, of recent memory.

I am savage about what has been done to the United States by its rulers.
