In the post SHTF republic political parties should be outlawed.
A great part of our downfall stems from the fact that most elected representatives and most appointed bureaucrats place the interests and success of their political party far above their fealty to the nation and loyalty to the Constitution.
To a degree you are right. But I say that the most representatives place a higher priority on getting all the perks from the Lobbyists......I wish they did a survey on the net worth of politicians before and after they went to DC.
