Thee thang? Oh, yes, lest we forget the 'other side'. Glad to see your partisanship is so strong therefore preventing you from discussing the issues Mr. Buchanan raises. Of course one not so partisan may ask why would there be 'in-party hemorrhaging' if the Republican party is so steadfast on the conservative track we are told day in and day out about. Thank you brave Republican party defender from steering us from the meat of the matter to the much more beneficial path of calling names. I'm sure that'll help steer our politicians down the path of limited government one day....
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
