The blood of patriots and tyrants

When ex-president Nixon responded to a question about his criminal constitutional violations, his answer about "Pockets of Revolution" existing in the country was somewhat plausible, but it also showed a complete ignorance as to what Social Revolutions are. When ex-president Trump attempts to use similar language about Socialist Factions today, they attached to nothing that can withstand that strict definition and reveals instead, the tired strategy of a fear-mongering would-be Autocrat. Donald Trump won't believe that he is not the perfect personification of the American Spirit until he sees himself in a felony orange jumpsuit and handcuffs. Jefferson ever calls us to "Water the Tree of Liberty" with the blood of patriots and tyrants"! The Republican party's Oligarchy contends with the people's collective voice - Our Democracy - and only one can survive our Republic.

And for a limited time only get your Republican party chains waxed at Ben Franklin's Grovel Baubles.

Granted but the salient difference I see is in the representation of "People-Power" or "Money-Power" and the failure of imagination in an Oligarchy that would strive for a more perfect union. It's okay to Applaud "Success", but "Morality" must stand as the primary arbiter of our social contract. Anything that threatens that foundation will be "Weighed In The Balance".

Both parties are for crap, Robert. I am ashamed to claim either one.
