Way to Go, GOP!!!

32. Winston Churchill said it:

We shall go on to the end...we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our(Republic), whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!

That was somewhat facetious, but face it - as Nance Greggs points out, the GOP has been flipping us the bird for decades now. 'Making America great' again to me means reforming the tax code so corporations pay their fair share and using those revenues for stuff that actually makes our lives better.

Instead we have elected a bellicose sociopath who will happily preside over the ruin of this Republic - just because he doesn't know any better. Nor do his followers after years of corporate propaganda that began in 1971 with the Powell memo, escalated with the death of the Fairness Doctrine in 1984 and metastasized like a cancer over our nation with the suppurating pustule that is hate-talk radio and Fox 'news.' Finally, the Koch brothers of the world have engineered the end of the Republic and opened the doors of the treasury.

Sadly, they won't be able to control Trump and his fascists any better than others could control another fascist 80 years ago.

Let's hope for the best, but let us fight for the country WE believe in every step of the way...on the beaches, on the landing grounds, in the fields and in the streets, and let us NEVER SURRENDER our democratic ideals.
