“We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.” IfsGivingOrderEnemyDemocracyStupidBearsWeaponsAffairFascismTicketsParliamentSalaryFlocksArsenal Author:Joseph Goebbels

“I think Churchill is right, the only thing to be said for democracy is that there is nothing else that's any better, and therefore he used to say, Tyranny tempered by assassination, but lots of assassination. People say, If the Congress were more representative of the people it would be better. I say the Congress is too damn representative. It's just as stupid as the people are; just as uneducated, just as dumb, just as selfish.” PeopleIfsThinkingSaidWould BeUsedDemocracyStupidCongressSelfishTyrannyDumbDamnRepresentativesAssassinationUneducated Author:Dean Acheson
