Robespierre was a lawyer, man.
Today’s Robespierres may not want to see blood in the streets, but they’re just as good at getting around the fundamental laws of the land as Robespierre himself was. Anarchy reigns supreme in America today. All you need is a PAC and a flack and a product to sell. Just ask any of the amnesty-supporting limo-liberals and Rockefeller conservatives running the culture guillotines in DC for their payola.
