"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, l952

Used to have that on a small poster that we would put in the GH Dem political booth at the fair each year. Forgot to put it out this year. Dang...it would have been fitting.

Their number has grown since Eisenhower's day. They are still stupid, however.
