Just Enough to Hang Themselves

Americans have a long history of suicide by crisis. Create a big enough crisis and the American populous will bend over take it in their patriotic posterior while singin' Glory Glory Haleujah.

Need to abandon isolationism? Why they sunk the Lusitannia!

Need an income tax? Why the government is broke and this one tiny 1% tax will fix it forever!

I do...

Now bend over. All together now!
