Over the years, the Republican Party has been wrong on
everything from the League of Nations to Social Security. They let Joseph R McCarthy
lie about communists in government and
led us into war with Iraq.
It seems that all those mistakes weren't enough. Today they
tried to destroy the reputation of the FBI. Its director, James Comey, said he didn't think
Hillary Clinton should be prosecuted, but provided plenty of sound bites that can
be used against Hillary in this year's presidential election.
Comey, the highly principled director of the FBI, laid out
why Hillary Clinton hadn't done anything that met the standard for prosecution.
He then made a lot of comments about the dumb things she did do.
Since he's a lifetime Republican what did the Republicans do
today? They attacked him in numerous ways and called into question the
confidence we have in the Federal Bureau of of investigation.
This is why Congress has an 11% approval rating.
It seems that Republicans will not be happy until none of us
trust our government. What they been working at is insidious and disgusting.
I'm proud to be an American. My family has been in this country for 396 years.
(Think about what happened in 1620 if this confuses you)
While the spirit behind the Declaration of Independence was
that of John Locke, the logic underlying the Constitution was that of Thomas
Hobbes. The Constitution was designed with the checks and balances which would
make it difficult for any dictator to take over our country.
Unfortunately, the Republican Party is using the
Constitution to gridlock the nation, make sure our infrastructure is not
repaired and foster distrust in our system of government. Today they turned on
James Comey, a man of great integrity and one of their own. It was sickening to
watch. Maybe they won't be content until
we all give up on the concept of democracy.
