Lip Service?

I seem to remember a statement from some OLD Senators back around the Clinton impeachment time when it was brought up that there was no way that Nixon would have been convicted/impeached by the Senate as the far stretching ramifications would have been impossible to handle.
That said - whether true or not - we have a ‘different breed’ of person representing us now, and what were a few ‘jokes’ in Congress etal have suddenly turned out to be a strong movement...we ‘laughed’ at the idiots that said Guam would tip over, all the shenanigans of Jackson-Lee, the blatant stupidity of ‘the hat’, Mad Maxine, the likes of a disgraced Federal Judge a long time Congressman, notice a trend to who I have ‘singled out’ but throw in the Nadlers, Shumers, Romneys (and the other RINOs that don’t want to have the gravy train interrupted) and now these ‘4 wacky broads’ who are gaining attention and are probably ‘seated for life’, seeing what districts they are in.
Remember the old ‘prediction’ from way back when about a ‘Democracy’ can last only a couple hundred years because it takes about that long for the have nots to band together and destroy the haves (or something along that line)
Then again remember a handful of Whites used to rule Africa with an iron fist and even in this country we placed the ‘natives’ in/on reservations and it took a not so long time for them to figure out they really aren’t controlled by OUR laws - so to speak -.
A little bit of schooling goes a long way....One would think that the Indian Nations with the Casinos would ALL be living in tall cotton but one notices that the ‘successful’ ones ran away from the have nots and left them in squalor....How long before the Indian Nation uprises and takes over their own ‘land’ first?
As to the introducing new, uncontrolled ‘blood’ to the nation, always sit back and think of what may have been had the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock & Jamestown been met with a hostile reception committee that said— now turn that boat around and go back where you came from...
Great post.

Its true. We have become a kleptocracy.
These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.
― Alexander Fraser Tytler, 1747 - 1813
Regarding Tytler's first sentence, remember the USA is a Republic, not a Democracy.
