"Will no one rid me of this
troublesome priest " Henry II cries out in anger and vexation, and four of
his loyal knights ride off and murder Thomas A Beckett on the steps
of Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170. Jumping forward 847
years President Trump expresses the same sentiment towards his FBI Director, and
his loyal courtesans dream up the scheme to remove this troublesome fellow who
is shedding light on the nefarious dealings of the Trump house with our Russian
adversaries.
So it has been with Kings and Dictators
throughout the ages until our founding fathers came up with a brilliant idea to
build a republic with laws that would protect us against such hegemony. They
devised a three tiered structure that would provide checks and balances against
the temptation to fall under the rule of any single ideologue or party. It
worked for most of our history but now it's under attack as weak kneed
politicians refuse to stand up for our country, and follow only the needs of
their own partisan survival.
Will the republicans now try to rescue our
country from the avaricious and vengeful group that has taken over the reins of
power, or will they bow to the pressure of the party line? It's sad to see what
once was an honorable and reasonable party fall victim to extremists who care
only for themselves and have little wish for the continued prosperity and
success of our republic.
