“We are here for the common good.”

Sounds like Marxists masquerading as GOP leaders.

Undoing things once started is hard. Really, really hard.

No.


“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers-- and it was not there... in her fertile fields and boundless forests-- and it was not there... in her rich mines and her vast world commerce-- and it was not there... in her democratic Congress and matchless Constitution-- and it was not there.

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

Around 1840 by Alexis de Tocqueville, author of Democracy in America, a book which was assigned to the entire Republican freshman class of the 104th congress.

Interesting, but wrong.

Abbreviation for government is not “gvt.” It’s “govt.”

"The eight new members of the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners had run for office promising to “thwart tyranny” in their lakeside Michigan community of 300,000 people."

All of Ottawa county has a population of 5,000 according to Wikipedia. Don't believe a word of ANYTHING written by the Washington Post.

I think they were referring to the whole county as the “community.” Population is 296,000.
