You and I both know that it is all for naught if we lose the war over on Capitol Hill. This is exactly what happened with Vietnam. We destroyed the entire North Vietnamese army and win the war, and Congress, through an abysmal failure in government public relations, pulled the plug on South Vietnam.

The same can happen here. We can win and win decisively in Iraq. But it will be all for nothing if we can’t win here. I believe to so, we have to have important voices in government that will speak on the matter. Censorship can be a devastating weapon.

The same way America is crushing the insurgency in Iraq.

No, I don’t think they are being silly. Whether a quorum is reached or not, whether anything is passed or not, this is important.

First one inch, then another. Then a foot, maybe two. The Republicans and other people speaking for the people keeps being censored, bullied, shouted and talked over into silence. One tirade to the next, it seemed like every speaker considering the welfare of the people are shouldered aside.

I don’t know if this is the way to do it, but I ask, how is it done? How did Cicero rail against the scheming powers of Rome? What measures did he take to prevent his beloved Republic from falling into the trappings of Empire and dictatorship?

There is a reason that Congress has fallen down into single-digit approvals from the American people. We feel, and quite rightly, that we are no longer represented by the men and women who promised to speak for us.

These actions by the Republicans matter. Other than Foxnews, the media isn’t covering the conservatives, and they are being censored out from the average mind of America. Silencing opposition is not freedom of speech, and it’s not American.

How can the flames of liberty be seen if it cannot be seen nor heard?

I know I’m not alone here. As John Adams said once in that musical 1776. There is a spirit out there that is sorely lacking in this Congress! (or something like that)

This is incredible. Pelosi is becoming more and more authoritarian Pelosi gets, the more people seemed to cower on the Hill. It’s high time there was a revolt to pseudo-President-Secretary of State Pelosi. I kept wondering whether anyone is going to push back.
