The biggest problem with democracy is that an ill-informed and poorly educated electorate can vote their way into tyranny in a single election. That election is upon us.

The Democratic Party and its disastrous socialist ideas will destroy our wonderful, unique nation. Democrats seek a one-party state with no room for opposing opinions. The spawn of our institutions of higher indoctrination are OK with this; the rest of us should not be.
