    They'll be back...

    In four or eight or twelve years, the right will be back in power. I shudder to think what crimes they will be emboldened to commit then, if they get away with the crimes they've committed over the past several years, now. If we let all of this slide, the Republic is dead.

    BTW, NYShooter's post moved me to tears. Will we ever be that America again?
