No, my friend, you’d only sell out those who dared to take a stand instead of kneel before the party (in power).
I’ll not go quietly on the buses (cattle cars) if that time ever comes, but I’d sure know there are fellow Men who would gladly sell out their ‘own side’ so they themselves could sleep at night thinking their own cause was just; even if the war was lost. You sure ain’t getting any help from your own party.
But it’s good to know you’ll lay down your principles to Party to (try to) win.
I’d lay down my principles to prevent great harm, in a New York minute.
I’d rather have a guilty conscience for being weak, if it meant that America would remain free.
