Want to keep helping the Muslim Brotherhood? My CA Jewish (sort of) Senators do.

What system of law has resulted in every single country from which we removed inconvenient dictators using American blood, treasure and technology? Inconvenient dictators – all Muslim rulers are dictators. The inconvenient ones had the temerity to trade with Israel and somewhat tolerate Christians and Jews in their countries.

Was the result a democratic society with freedom of the press and religion? A model based on the freedoms and cautions expressed in the Declaration of Independence which gives the Constitution meaning (and why people have historically risked life and limb to become part of)?

Nope, none of the above. The answer is Sharia! Sharia is a...

And what do they care? They’ll just as quickly and easily vote (if they even HAVE to these days) to send our men/women into these 3rd world hellholes to clean up the mess that they themselves started.

Long as people have their bread and circuses, Rome can do as it wishes.

“... Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses...”

(Juvenal, Satires 10:77 — commenting on the condition of his ancient Rome under Emperor Domitian, after the fall of the Republic of course......)

AD 61-69. So corrupted indeed and debased was that age by sycophancy that not only the foremost citizen who were forced to save their grandeur by servility, but every ex-consul, most of the ex-praetors and a host of inferior senators would rise in eager rivalry to propose shameful and preposterous motions.

Tradition says that Tiberius as often as he left the Senate-House used to exclaim in Greek, How ready these men are to be slaves. Clearly, even he with his dislike of public freedom, was disgusted at the abject abasement of his creatures.

(Tacitus, The Annals, Book III)

Then, as now, only the shell of the republic remained. Both the emperors and Obama needed their Senates to legitimize their decisions and give the patina of law to their diktats.

Traitor is correct.
