He has been quite a good leader.

8. Louis Brandeis' line is better though

You can have great wealth or a democracy, but you cannot have both. This line is featured in Kevin Phillip's excellent book

17. Since we have an empire and seek oil and hegemony, so much for democracy

19. Always wanted a bumper sticker: "Empire OR Democracy?" and

also one that says "Do you know what YOUR empire is up to?"
