Tyrannical on 27 November 2008
The thumb print ballot looks like to me that they placed a mark in another box and tried to smear it out, which would be a spoiled ballot.
That signature one to me looks like a scribble to make sure the pen was writing.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
