The Republicans of the day sealed their lips for rah rah war patriotism. Can’t question the leadership ya hear. The Left took advantage of that. Repubs were playing by the old gentleman’s rules, assuming the other guy was disagreeing but essentially on the same side. Not true. The Left is not on America’s side. The Left doesn’t want to be on America’s side. The Left hates America’s side. But they pretend to be “patriotic”, at least until elected.
Fast forward to today and not much has changed.

It prompted a poem:
 
 
Little Miss Muffet America
 
sat on her duffet and numerica (it rhymes)
 
printing out money and  creating debt.
 
Then along came reality and more fiscal insanity
 
and the spiders still lack any sense and regret.
