A party that has lost its soul

By Alon Ben-Meir - posted Tuesday, 16 January 2018


America that maintains an open-door policy-the tradition of being a nation of immigrants-by welcoming those, regardless of their creed, race, or color, to our shores; those who want to realize the American dream and do their share to contribute to America's economic, cultural, and scientific riches.

America that mitigates conflict with its adversaries and deepens its ties with allies and friends, respects international treaties, and lives up to any commitment made, not only to maintain our credibility but also to make the world a safer and more peaceful place.

Yes, America can be all of that and more, because these values are embedded in our cultural and moral fabric. Only the American people can make America what it is destined to be. Any political party or president that does not lead the country in this direction is not fit to be in power.

Republican congressmembers must now demonstrate where their loyalty lies-to the country, or to a corrupt party establishment and a president who has never been able to articulate any coherent policy, and leaves it to the party leadership to spoon-feed him whatever rubbish they deem necessary to serve their corrupt political agenda.

If the Republicans continue on their current path and keep swallowing everything that Trump spits out, come November they will pay the price-and deservedly so-for selling their souls while riding on the backs of the poor and the despairing.
