Quote of the Day

vonMesser at 'Nox & Friends - 22 hours ago
Unlike previous ones, this is an exceptionally long quote. It’s from a 1938 magazine interview of (ex) Kaiser Wilhelm II while he was in exile. He is speaking, of course, about Adolph Hitler. But his words could apply to the Democrats of today with almost zero modification. They talk of a movement fueled by one man. And while today’s left movement is fueled by a small clique of men like George Soroes, at some point their “front man” (or woman) will appear and assume the mantle of savior to the people just like Dolph did. “There is a man alone, … Continue reading →
