My question, is the Republic worth preserving. The states got together to create a limited government, it has not respected those boundaries. The "States" which represents the same kind of entity that we have a national gov't "Secretary of State" represent nothing more than lines on a grid anymore.
Lincoln thought we had to remain together no matter what, that the Republic was sacred. That is why his hands rest on fascia (bundles of sticks) in the Lincoln memorial. The sticks are not permitted to leave the bundles (fascism).
McCain was a deepstate traitor, like the writers editors and owners of WaPo. It was never about left/right, that was just a distraction. The WaPo is a CIA Mockingbird mouthpiece, nothing more.
Meanwhile, Bishop Tobin also defended the pope.
“I remind myself and the faithful of the Diocese of Providence that Pope Francis is the duly elected Bishop of Rome,” the bishop said. “He is the Vicar of Christ, our Supreme Pastor, and our spiritual father. Regardless of our perception of current events, the Holy Father needs and deserves our respect, our prayers and our affection, now as much as ever. Members of a family do not abandon their father, even in difficult times."
No Joe that isn't how a family works
When the dad gets caught molesting his kids (or the mom) the kids get taken away and the parents go to jail.
