"The Republicans really need a spine."
I agree. We need to rebuild the party around stronger, more "untouchable" people (see my tagline). Elliot Ness's FBI men were known as "untouchables", not because they couldn't be shot down---that could be done and was. It was becasue they could not be bribed and blackmailed.
The Democratic Party, symbolized by their new real leader, Hillary, has become a part of the Hard Left. To understand the tactics of the Hard Left, which has evolved from Communism and I now call proto-Communism, read Red Horizons, by Ion Pacepa, Inside the Aquarium & other books by Anton Suvorov.
Thanks for book references!
I do wonder about those FBI files also.
