Discourse and democracy

À propos of our holiday today, I stumbled on this photo. I cannot think of a better rejoinder to anyone who still thinks "deliberative democracy" is an option or, for that matter, how anyone can still seriously defend the ideology of individualism--for only such an ideology would permit the conjunction of "Get a brain!" with "Morans" insofar as what counts is merely conviction and patriotism.
