Accusing others of his own void of lacking.<br /><br />That patriot inheritance brats idol Trump) who only 10 years later worships stench carcass of a man who owns 4 deferments for a bad foot he cannot recall which. Declares he has no use for a soldier who gets captured.<br /><br />(R) Rep. Kevin Mcarthy (of HRC select investigation committee formed, on Hannity fame). Saying Besides Trump, Rep.Dana Rohrabacker is owned by Putin.<br />--He knows and does nothing but speaks out of jealousy/<br /><br />Speaker Ryan deploring the Senate to pass "anything" to repeal and replace health care. <br />'anything" like the House passed. Ryan pleaded out lout and in public view.<br /><br />all the disturbing ugly behaviors of the figures of virtue they relish and point to as wise sages. Rush, OReilly, Ailes, Rove, Cruz, Alex jonesy, White Supremacists in general.<br /><br />The list is long and prayers for redemption absent.<br /><br />They will tell us (out of context) that Jefferson said, "from time to time the tree of liberty need watered with blood of patriots and tyrants".<br />Which I will leave this question;<br />Was the ball park shooter just in his attack? Did the shooter decide scalise was being tyrannical and decided to be the patriot and water the tree? Did the security team that took down the shooter perform an act to further Scalise's tyrannical rule?<br /><br />How does that get decided?

Up to where we are today with a wannabe King/Fuhrer in the White House.<br /><br />That said, I can only think of 3 Republican presidents that weren't totally in bed with the wealthy/corporations. Lincoln - back when Repubs weren't around long enough to get captured by the wealthy. Teddy Roosevelt, who was a "mistake" and got driven out of the Republican party for his breaking up big corporations & starting National Parks. Maybe Eisenhower was somewhat OK, though the people of Iran, Hungary & Lebanon would have differed. Every other Republican president was a toady for the wealthy and/or placeholders that pardoned the previous administrations (Ford & Bush the Elder).<br /><br />Like Ben Franklin said in response to "What do we have, a republic or a monarchy?": A republic - if we can keep it.Habitat Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745175381261470890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-56990597910020401772017-07-19T15:56:58.006-05:002017-07-19T15:56:58.006-05:00that really is one nice piece of writing.
