Yes, and we are apparently wrong to point that out and want it stopped and criminals prosectued..
Hi Liz!! Good to 'see' you again! :) ~ jj
Marcus Tullius Cicero A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he
appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
Hi JJ, great thread.
No, we are not wrong to want this criminality to stop.
America is a democracy, governed by a Constitution. We don't tolerate tribal supra-governments, run by self-important dictators undermining democracy, decreeing what Americans can think, or speak.
Every American worth his/her salt comes to the aid of their country when it is under attack.
It's enormously revealing, and indicative of the problem we're up against, that Americans are bashed and belittled for simply defending their country.
What these people really need to do is seek professional help for their self-esteem problems, rather than getting ego gratification by beating up on Americans.
