He's on his FIFTH wife!
Ok, so my dad called me yesterday and told me he proposed to his girlfriend of a year and I think most kids would be happy but I'm not. This is his FIFTH wife. I think she's cool and all but I know he's gonna end up cheating on her and divorcing her and putting all his kids through this stuff again. What should I do? I tried talking to him about my feelings but he just got mad. Please help me!

If i were you maybe try taking to the women he is marring and let her know how you feel about it.

There really isn't anything you can do. I understand that you're just expressing concern, but you can't shoot down something that hasn't happened yet (regardless of previous marriages). This one could be different, and it's not your place to tell your own father otherwise.
The only thing you need to do is be happy for them. Wish them luck, give them your love & send them on their merry way (or marry* if you wanna be cute about it, hahaha). It's good to express feelings or thoughts on something, but your dad doesn't really need the negativity.
I'm sorry it's affecting you the way that it is, but just grin & bear it. Besides, if your dad is really how you say he is, that marriage will be over before you know it. ;)

I would tell you to be optimistic and see how it goes. But I'd rather you take the realistic approach. If you already tried talking to him and he doesn't listen.. its obvious that he's gonna do what he wants. Have you gone in depth with the situation.. like asking him if he's afraid of being/dying alone without someone to love? Because it could be an insecurity. Or try another approach when talking to him. Don't tell him that you think he's gonna get divorced again or something of that sort. Tell him how you feel... tell him your not happy and you just want him to wait a little while before he settles down again. If that doesn't work, live with it.. and when you get kids make sure not to do the same thing to them!

Heeeyy ohh man it must be soo streessful going through all of this!!
Theres nothing you can do except be happy for him. I mean youve tried to approach him and all he does is retaliate and get angry.
What id do is not try and talk him out of getting married but just be like hey dad im really happy for you. i dont want anyone getting hurt so please think really carefully about this before you do anything because i dont want to go through the same hting for the fifth time please. i love you and this is why im telling you this. like make it out as if your being positve about the whole situation and just looking out for him that way he cant argue with that
