Very interesting article. I especially like .....

6. "Too often, we observe the unfolding drama along with the rest of the country, passively, all but saying, 'Someone should do something!' without seeming to realize that that someone is us."

Wow!

Well said.

[Col Hogan]

I am liking the jr Senator from Arizona the more I learn about him...

RHINO. DRAIN THE SWAMP, #TRUMPTRAIN - Trump zombies

Distancing himself for his next election.

Distancing himself for his next election.

Does that also mean he isn't making good points?

Of course not, but you have to keep in mind motive.

And Ben Sasse. He was impressive on Maher's show

It's pretty easy to appear sane and rational
Whist in the midst of the random chaos that is this administration...

Trump is proving to be nothing more than a very loud bumbling fool
Who can't seem to reach low enough to find anybody to dance with

None of the Conservative Thinkers seem to be able to just say it...
They prance around it nimbly avoiding saying it by a hair

They won't just say it - which is the thing I find fascinating
Even CID can't seem to find it in himself to just announce what the whole world sees

Instead we get "everybody else in politics is doing it too"
and
It's the right kind of incompetence
and
Go run to your fainting chair

If by "calling it as you see it" you mean "nimble apologetics" then yes...

I love how its not a possibility that Trump is doing the right thing and ALL the senators and congressmen are wrong.

Simply laughable

Of course it's a possibility...that everyone else is wrong and he's right. He could simply be misunderstood and instead of appreciating him for his genius the world is instead out to get him.

Reminds me of one of my sisters....

Did you have to shower her with praise every morning and tell her she's a good girl and that mommy and daddy are proud of her?

Amash is another one that while I don't agree with everything he says, has always had well-thought out positions, and a willingness to listen to concerns and go against his party when he feels it necessary.

And make up fake calls from the Boy Scout President telling her she gave the greatest speech?

That is one I can't figure out ^ right there... The pure pathological insanity of it
The president announces (after making a completely bizarre speech) that the boy scouts called him the next day and told him it was the best speech ever...

To which the boy scouts announce "No we did not call the President"
and further more they went on to denounce the speech

Trump would literally lie about the time of day - it's a level of insanity that is beyond nutty
