"Those who do not know their history are doomed to relive it"

Mitt Romney's speech, along with the remainder of the speakers for the Republican Party, are perhaps one of the greatest vindicators of this quote. The amount of bullshit, regressiveness, sheer ignorance and willful dementia about the consequences of the policies they're railing for is fucking incredible. But the masses that actually believe in their lies and even cheer them on are to me, the cherries on the shit sundae. As another quote goes, all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men and women do nothing. That's where we all come in. We must all do our part to make sure that this evil does not succeed. This country can simply not take another four years of Republican tyranny at a time where such an occurrence will almost certainly have unspeakable consequences.
