Politics and "Our better Angels"

This is a clash of "our better angels" and our belief in "survive, even prosper, anyway you can". Both are group think or gang think. I phrase it as "lie, cheat, steal" against "truthful, honest, communal": it takes a thief or it takes a village. The Republicans have finally exposed their philosophy that capitalism and democracy favor the lying, cheating, stealing philosophy, what a poet called "red of tooth and claw", the idea that justice is "an eye for an eye" as opposed to "love thy neighbor" and "all men are equal". There is a projection of these opposing philosophies: "There's a sucker born every minute" and " A house divided cannot survive". Since Henry Cabot Lodge subverted America's joining Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations after World War I, which may have logically and politically undermined Democracy throughout the world, even America; down through Nixon, Reagan, the Bushes, and, now, Trump. The move toward Republicanism, toward "take care of yourself and we'll be better off" opposed to "work together and we'll be better off": turn off the Unions by subverting them, turn them into a business themselves, address human greed and use it to bring the opposition into the Republican camp. Be cruel when necessary, be crooked, when necessary, undercut the Constitution, when necessary. Damn our better angels, they cost too much and are too whiny and weak to run a country. Jefferson has lost the argument, power and greed have overcome community and Justice for all.

To Impeach or not..

It is imperative that impeachment articles get voted on in the House of Representatives; and, if they pass then they get voted on in the Senate after the prosecution takes place. I say this not just because The President must be held to obeying the law as we all are, but because the votes of the Representatives of this congress need recorded. I believe what the impeachment process should focus on is very clear and simply understood: Are we for the Rule of law or are we against the rule of law and for anarchy. If the President has violated the law against obstructing justice then he should be held accountable for violating it. There are ten arguments in the Mueller Report that show, conclusively, that the president would have been and should have been indicted for those ten separate actions. So, the Congress, our Representatives, must stand before the world, before history, and vote for the rule of law, and impeach the President; or, the Congress will vote for anarchy and the President will continue to violate any law he cares to because the Congress is for Anarchy over the rule of law.
