Globalist politicians masquerading as Republicans cannot even allow Ron Paul (one of the founders of the modern Tea Party) to chair a SUB-COMMITTEE.

In the essay “War is the Health of the State”, Randolph Bourne describes the distinction between country, state, and government. In it, he discusses how war can be useful to government by focusing the public on its allegiance to the state. Many abuses are tolerated when “at war”, even if that “war” is on a tactic called terrorism and cannot possibly end by surrender. How would “terrorists” universally surrender and end that war? Endlessly useful.

The second thing that came to mind is a quote from Mark Twain:

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”
