With all respect, the principles upon which this nation stands or falls are the right to life, liberty, the equal application of the rule of law, not of men, and the sanctity of the vote.
@Right_in_Virginia All of them deeply founded in Conservatism, whether all the way back to Aristotle via Republics, or through the Celtic law which winds through 1500 years to wind up as the English Common law, or I can argue them right from the Bible - Likely the origination of the above.
In this moment, the nation is falling. In NYC, we are witnessing the epicenter of the Marxists's efforts to further and more deeply dismantle and erase each principle.
And, still you refuse to stand in support of their target and continue to redirect attention, time and energy to a political spending policy debate ----when there will be no debate if you continue to surrender the true founding principles.
Well you're throwing a whole lot of dirt in the air for an indictment. Rule of Law is NOT crashing down. It's a friggin indictment, not a conviction. If you can indict a ham sandwich, you can certainly indict an ex-president. And that's really the only thing here that's new and unusual.
As I said before, they dd the very same thing to Tom DeLay decades ago.
But what they are doing is to be met on the battlefield of the Court - And that is what is happening. And I have no doubt he will succeed, even if he is convicted... The appeals process will serve, in the end, and move him out of the reach of the liberals on the east coast.
And don't think for a moment he ain't gonna make hay with that.
I do not know if you appreciate the depravity of your focus, or not. But, your insistence that federal spending is most important is taking on the stench of an artifice.
Quite to the contrary. A government big enough to give you what you want is big enough to take all you have... And it will... And it IS.
A myopic love of big government ALLOWS it to be powerful enough to upend the rule of law.
A small government could not afford these travesties.
And just wait till a loaf of bread costs a wheelbarrow full of money. Guess how the rule of law will be doing then?
Your protestations are foolishness.
