I actually completely agree with that statement. It's just the train of alleged thought that follows that has me completely mystified.
I also believe that the Republic rests upon the Constitution, and that the rush to achieve perfect safety by weakening that framework is a greater threat to the Republic than any terrorist weapon. I do not agree with men who disparage individuals who disagree with the adminsitration, people who claim that those who refuse to meekly submit to authoritarian demands to abolish or bypass Constitutional guarantees to freedom are the enemies of freedom.
Unlike UG, I will not ask for anyone to join me in opposing
all Republicans, just those who abdicate their roles in acting to require that the adminstration seek real advice and consent from Congress.
For a man who declares his love of a Republic, UG acts more like a serf in a fiefdom, looking to his lord to protect and command him.
For a country that prides itself on it's 'citizen soldiers', how did we end up with someone like him?
