Reply #7: "A cancer left to grow will lay the body low." [View All]

Just made that up. We can play the wisdom-in-metaphors game all day, but in the end it comes down to realities.

Do you want the Bush mob to get away with it? Do you want to see Jeb or Ellis in 2016 for a third round of plunder and mayhem? (Assuming anything's left after what they just did this time.) We know their M.O. This is our country's challenge: to confront its rogue ruling class.

They will never stop.

That wasn't Machiavelli, either, just me ... playing on the all-too prevalent "moderate" and DNC-DLC idea that pragmatism is the same of "letting crime pay." It's not pragmatic. It's just asking for a bigger disaster down the line.

Please ponder on justice, power and the consequences of letting gangsters rule and prosper and run free. Also, of truth as the only basis for democracy and republican institutions. We can't let them lie and get away with it, we're just asking for secret and deceptive government forevermore.
