It’s a shame we don’t have an opposition party.
The neocons are hoping that Ukraine will sweep RINOs in on a wave of fear.
“It’s a shame we don’t have an opposition party.”
That is the truth. When I watch the “news” and they feature a politician giving comments, any politician, I change the channel. The only thing I can be certain of when a politician speaks is that they are doing their level best to tell me what I want to hear, not what they believe, or what they will do.
“It was the beautiful remark of a distinguished English writer that ‘in the Roman senate Octavius had a party and Anthony a party, but the Commonwealth had none.’
“Yet the senate continued to meet in the temple of liberty to talk of the sacredness and beauty of the Commonwealth and gaze at the statues of the elder Brutus and of the Curtii and Decii, and the people assembled in the forum, not, as in the days of Camillus and the Scipios, to cast their free votes for annual magistrates or pass upon the acts of the senate, but to receive from the hands of the leaders of the respective parties their share of the spoils and to shout for one or the other, as those collected in Gaul or Egypt and the lesser Asia would furnish the larger dividend.
“The spirit of liberty had fled, and, avoiding the abodes of civilized man, had sought protection in the wilds of Scythia or Scandinavia; and so under the operation of the same causes and influences it will fly from our Capitol and our forums. A calamity so awful, not only to our country, but to the world, must be deprecated by every patriot and every tendency to a state of things likely to produce it immediately checked. Such a tendency has existed—does exist.
“Always the friend of my countrymen, never their flatterer, it becomes my duty to say to them from this high place to which their partiality has exalted me that there exists in the land a spirit hostile to their best interests—hostile to liberty itself. It is a spirit contracted in its views, selfish in its objects. It looks to the aggrandizement of a few even to the destruction of the interests of the whole. The entire remedy is with the people.”
- William Henry Harrison
“It’s a shame we don’t have an opposition party.“
We The People better start realizing this QUICKLY.
The Republican Party (the politicians) believe this EVERY bit as much as Jen and her gang do.
Citizen voters who still believe that continuing to elect and re-elect these Republicans are only perpetuating the problem.
The “lesser of two evils” still gives you - EVIL.
