College Quote by David Limbaugh
“Don't ever let anyone tell you that history doesn't repeat.

Indeed, I remember scratching my head when one of my college history professors in the 1970s tried to convince us of that theory and its corollary - an even better howler - that FDR was actually a conservative, because if he hadn't implemented his socialist programs, the republic would have died right there.”
