Republicans And Mediocrity: It’s A Love Thing
The words “greatness” and “Republicans” only go together so long as one is being sarcastic. If the GOP had in word and deed remained “The Party of Lincoln”, it would have been entirely impossible for them to ever have become the Party Of Trump. The Republicans are not now the Republican Party that Lincoln joined […]

Since “Republican” Is Now Toxic, What Should “New” Republicans Call Themselves?
From a purely branding point of view, it really sucks to be Republicans right now.

The Rule Of Law Doesn’t Really Exist – We Made It Up. If We Want It “To Be”, We Have To MAKE IT “Be”
Americans take so much for granted. I know I took for granted that I lived in a representative democracy where everyone played by the same rules. Unfortunately, Republicans don’t take our system of government for granted — they want to destroy it. Some Democrats — and most of the news media — take Republicans completely […]

Dear Republicans: Once Destroyed, Integrity Cannot Grow Back; Your Integrity Is History
Ever meet anyone with 99% of their integrity intact? You can pretty much trust them — but not quite… there’s a point beyond which you know you can’t trust them — usually when things get serious and being able to trust someone is imperative. That’s the Republican Party. Except they have way, way less than […]
