Integrity Misplaced:
BY JAMES EMERSON
When we as a people, a republic, replace the historic reliance on a fixed set of rules/mores/values that form the foundation upon which the Republic rests we set aside the “integrity” of the whole enterprise. As we watch the leaders on one side of the aisle celebrating the “historic” low to which they have dragged the nation, appropriately apparelled in black (the nazis would be proud), continuing to play the game of one up man ship against the choice of We The People, the alarms should be going off across the land.
To deny the the authority of the collective choice of the people as a whole and dragging the Republic into the sewer that a democracy allows is enough to have the graves of the founders opening up and the ghosts of those long dead Founding Fathers coming to haunt our waking hours. We have failed them miserably regardless of what the media sycophants write or say. A false measure is a fraud, and the Democratic Party at the moment are trying to sell a yardstick to America that represents no integrity of values at all. As much as they howl at the moon in their imagined victory against President Trump, they merely show the lack of morals that is representative of who they are. There was only one surprise for me and that was Tulsi Gabbard voting “present” in a meagre effort to be true to some standard that was conscience driven perhaps. Or perhaps her membership in the Democrat firing squad qualified her as the lone recipient of the empty cartridge.
The surprised look on many a face does not in any way replace the responsibility that each citizen of this Republic has to war against this usurpation of founding principles. This is not a democracy driven by the biggest group of thugs, its brilliant founding principles are being ignored, trampled under foot and misused to undermine We The People to be replaced by We The Elites. The smug smiles on the faces of the wine and cheese set should be smashed for the insults that they are. Am I counselling violence? A revolution was fought over similar atrocious actions by a ruling elite, many died who valued freedom and integrity more than their own lives. Treason is punishable by death….it is up to each individual to determine what they can and will do to battle in support of the Republic. I know clearly what I will and can do. What about you?
