Agree with all of the above, Mr. F -- except for one glaring error: Peter Lorre was not the croupier bringing Louis his winnings in that scene of Casablanca. The croupier was played by Marcel Dalio.

Regardless, I still hold you in high esteem.

For recent history (Carter administration on) of Democratic support of plutocratic rule, there's Thomas Frank's book Listen Liberal. I'm reading it again after quite a few years and it holds up well.

We are reaping what the Democrats have sown. I have been a registered Democrat since 1972 and in no way do I see any electoral exit from the precipice on which we find ourselves.

Democrats are not imbeciles - they're Vichy collaborators. Flat out.

The call has *always* been coming from inside the house.

They know exactly what they're doing.

They were Borged long ago.

There is *no * "new normal."

"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing-grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!". It was delivered in a speech to the House of Commons on June 4, 1940, following the evacuation of British and French armies from Dunkirk.

I believe, Sir, that this is the attitude to our current Berserkers that you are espousing. Me, too.
