Could be, Mr. Lincoln was so off base when he said this. He could not have envisioned about 170 years into the future that we'd be a nation of so many fools, so many people so easily fooled. If indeed he said this at all. It's generally attributed to him, suggesting it was said either during the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates ~ or perhaps a few years earlier at the 1856 Republican Convention. Regardless of the if-or-when, many historians and documentary evidence tend to question this today.
Yet, here we are! Way too many people fooled "back in November" and still being fooled each and every day by the Number One Fool who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (except for every weekend down in Florida, how's that for government waste?) ... the Foolish Aides who indulge and accede to his every word or whim ... supported by more Fools in the Senate of Silence, and even more Fools in the House of Representatives who bend and capitulate in fear, mere marionettes on strings ... and let's add in all the Fools in the Cabinet, with their pasted-on smiles and nodding, bobbling heads ... "April" Fools Day? ... It's not just for April anymore is it?
then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools."
ha... that is so true.. and we hope karma will do the job...
ReplyDeleteThis is very true and I feel so sorry for the people of your country who can see what is happening.

ReplyDeleteWe agree, Juney and Mom. It's disturbing and heartbreaking to see our democracy being torn apart.
ReplyDeleteWe in heap big trouble!
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln was a wise man. He is my favorite president of all time. He was a cat lover. XO
ReplyDeleteThose are wise words by you and those you quoted. We keep wishing we could wake up from this nightmare and it would all be over.
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "There's a reason why everyone still remembers that Plato guy thousands of years later."
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, because kids still like to play with the fake bread dough he invented?"
Charlee: "No ..."
Our world is very scary right now, in many ways.
ReplyDeleteHe is getting by with some of the people some of the time
ReplyDeleteHe did not win the popular vote. Too bad that's not what counts.
