Patriot Post's Founder's Quote of the Day.

"History by apprising [citizens] of the past will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views." --Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781

It's a shame most Americans have forgotten this lesson. It seems we have not learned form history. If people had done their research and paid attention in 07 and 08 we wouldn't have the Golfer in Chief.

Of course the other one wasn't much better.

And thus the reason for the dumbing down of the West. Corrupt the lessons of history and remove the ability to see the future.
