My fathers words.

My father was a no nonsense person. At times he would impart what he considered important wisdom for me to retain. One was there is nothing more dangerous then a fool who thinks they are very smart. Now I am very old my self and I wonder if he was talking about Republicans.

who else would fall for the tea party ,alec, heritage, and Americans for prosperity all funded by the likes of the Koch brothers and other wealthy people looking to stick it to the workers!
even now they can't admit they could possibly have been suckered. Shame this group has allowed the top 5% to change so many safeguards we had to protect our countries well being!
