Our last hope for justice in the Trump / Russia treason / corruption crisis now rests with the US Senate.
At this defining moment in our history we would all do well to reflect on Vice President Aaron Burr’s prophetic closing address to the Senate : ” If the Constitution is ever to be strangled by a demagogue or usurper we will witness its dying agonies on the Senate floor.”
Long live a free and independent America.
RESIST tyranny !

That’s it in a nutshell. It separates Americans from partisans.
I’m a partisan, but an American first. (It feels weird to say America first).
What is patriotism ? Adlai Stevenson defined it thus : ” Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.”

Thanks for that quotation.
I’ve been using the word, but felt some embarrassment as i steal it back from the right wing.
You’re welcome.
Mark Twain explained it this way : ” The true patriotism, the only rational patriotism, is loyalty to the NATION all the time, loyalty to the government when it deserves it.”

“Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.” – President Calvin Coolidge
