Apologies for the longer than usual dela...Vigilis,<br /><br />Apologies for the longer than usual delay in posting your comment.<br /><br />I think you ascribe too much power to attorneys. We still have freedom of speech and the vote in this country, and I think a party that offered a real alternative to socialism, articulated that alternative well, and helped the public understand how that alternative would be better for them, personally, could do very well, regardless of how many lawyers opposed them.<br /><br />GusGus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-20908352414471016762016-04-21T12:46:09.673-06:002016-04-21T12:46:09.673-06:00"Too many Republicans, Priebus included, mere..."Too many Republicans, Priebus included, merely oppose (or reluctantly go along with) the left, rather than standing for individual rights."<br /><br />Gus, while the GOP deserves the fate its feeble leaders have currently earned, the veil of two,competing U.S. political parties has been a failed paradigm whose veil needs piercing. A renamed successor that is just as feeble as the GOP accomplishes nothing but a waste of more years. <br /><br />The party supported by more attorneys (in Congress, on K-Street, and on Main Street) than the GOP has rendered the latter its complicit handmaiden, content to stay in the game to win once in a while, like the Baltimore Orioles. No longer do key party visions differ in the reality of actions complied. <br /><br />Socialism by all of its fancy names (TPP, Internationalism, Globalism, New World Order) is still a sorry path to loss of sovereignty, declining standards, illegitimate opportunities, and vanishing liberties for most citizen/subjects. <br /><br />The current Pope appears to advocate for a socialist new world order as does the GOP. I prefer our union of 50 competitive U.S. states. Unfortunately congress and the Supreme Court are content to gradually whittle away our Bill of Rights.<br /><br />Just my 2 cents.Vigilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05051789616490005367noreply@blogger.com
