"The subtle and deadly change of heart that might occur in you, would be involved with the realization that a civilization is not destroyed by wicked people; it is not necessary that people be wicked, but only that they be spineless.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
“In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
This pretty much sums up the loathsome state of the Republican party today
We are currently facing a Constitution crisis, and our democracy as we know it is on the line.
The true character of a person will always be revealed when they are faced with a crisis or adversity. And the eternal question will always be, when it truly mattered, did he do the right thing? So far, republicans have failed..
“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
― Thomas Paine, The Crisis
I salute true patriots like Schiff, Doug Jones, Romney, and their colleagues, who had the courage to do the right thing, when it truly mattered. Thank you for standing up for the American people, the country, and our Constitution.
