The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” -Plato

Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace - but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! -Patrick Henry

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” – James 4:7 (KJV)

My final farewell to the Republican Party, said no better than Samuel Adams himself:

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

"The real object of all despotism is revenue" - Thomas Paine

"Understand something: The conservative “movement” doesn’t exist. It is a con. It’s simply a massive fundraising operation. They don’t believe anything they say.

You were duped. The truth is, Republicans want to lose elections because THEY MAKE MORE MONEY FUNDRAISING FROM DESPERATE AMERICANS WHEN THEY ARE OUT OF POWER.

There are no good Republicans. Set them all on fire." - Milo Yiannopoulos

Though I love my father, it is my mother who passed her conservative genes to me. Her skeptical eye sees through bullshit like few other people I know, including my sometimes clueless but otherwise saintly wife.

GOD bless having a conservative mother if you are lucky enough to have one these days. - Me
