33. During the Vietnam War, there was much going on behind the scenes...
... that We the People didn't find out about until years later. Those who protested the war didn't sit around and dither about whether they might be misjudging their leaders. They didn't assume that the duty of a citizen (of any party) is to play small and assume that someone bigger and wiser will take care of things. They demanded that the war be stopped.

The current Dems are going to do absolutely nothing that they aren't pressured into doing. It isn't up to us to understand that they're having a "bad hair" term. They were hired to do a job, and we need to keep holding their feet to the flames until they deliver.

If the Dems were serious about impeachment, they'd be pursuing it. The right time is NOW, and has been for a long time. Continuing appeasement will lose us our country.
