Yeah–that’s a perfectly useful model for the US in the 21st century...

Well, for the first time, I'm "reading this at my peril".

Ugh.

On a website that I come to not for political discourse, but to get my I-car fix.

If you really want to mix it up on this topic may I humbly suggest:

Thread after thread of political debate. Post carefully, this forum does not suffer fools gladly!

My point was that it's dangerous to pull random quotes when you understand nothing of their context and nothing of the speaker.

With the internet, for any point you wish to make, you will be able to find a quote from someone like Auberon Herbert to support that point. But that won't change your particular Auberon Herbert from fool to sage.

And that's it for me on this thread.
