Maybe the French had it right in 1793

Apparently someone gave him a blue pill.

He's working for the dictatorship of the Administrative State.

This is starting to have the stench of the mid point of the French revolution when despicable acts were carried out in the name of the "committee of public safety". Eventually that resulted in Napoleon.

When the dems and reps sing so many of the same songs out their shared hymnals, it makes it very difficult to tell them apart. It certainly explains why their fruits are often the same.

"This is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt hath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance: The only practical purpose which it now subserves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip.”​

Words from our history that sounds like he is talking about today.

Is history repeating itself?

 

[Shadow01]

But many feel he’s better than a democrat…

Apparently someone gave him a blue pill.

I ran across this post and it occurred to me that I should clarify that I don't mean it's THAT blue pill. I mean the one in Matrix and especially relating to blue representing demcrats.

One of the stupidest things Ive ever seen. Several days ago on FB on Todd Starnes' page: "We need to fight to keep Johnson in power because he is a Christian. It is wrong for Christians to be pushing to force other Christians out of positions of power." (Paraphrased)

This is disgusting. One should neither be rewarded or punished for their religious beliefs. The results should be a large part of the grade.
