One of them has to go: The GOP or America as we know it
The GOP has become, as Eisenhower warned, "merely a conspiracy to seize power" and the tragic result is a weakened, potholed, polluted and impoverished America. Texas is showing us all how the corruption that has overwhelmed the GOP has reached a crisis point, and it's killing people.

Speech: " Campaign dinner address of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (the Fala speech)", 9/23/1944 " Remember, a number of years ago, there was a book, Mein Kampf, written by Hitler himself. The technique was all set out in Hitler's book - and it was copied by the aggressors of Italy and Japan.
