Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng,
but in ourselves are triumph and defeat.

This is nonsense and arbitrary. For instance, would the Dems proudly declare 3 of 4 felons prefer them? "The Hate He Dares Not Speak"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
The President rightly focused on the crimes and victims, not on on the competing ideologies. "The Hate He Dares Not Speak"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
This Charlottesville tragedy sorely tests my principles. I really think it's better not to drive ideologues underground, a forbidden fruit.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
These neo-Nazis have no use for anti-State libertarians like me. I'm a left-handed Catholic who has dated black ladies and Latinas.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
My best friends include a Jew, a Hindu & a Baptist. I have worked for female, black and Latino supervisors. I have mixed-race grandnephews.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
You don't maintain social security with Ponzi scheme funding gimmicks or printing money. Americans can't trust in you political whores.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Your senior entitlements and welfare state account for over 70% in nearly $4T in the federal budget. I know you progressives find math hard.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
So misleading and disingenuous on several levels.: Obama is the $10T debt man. Govt policy REQUIRES SSA to invest surplus in USG debt.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Second, it is true social security is not adding to the debt YET. But SSA has been running a deficit on PAYGO contributions since 2010.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Third, national defense accounts for about 20% of the federal budget. The interest expense, at historically low rates, is a third of that.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Fourth, by 2021, social security will need to draw down on its trust fund to meet rapidly growing expenditures; trust fund empty by <= 2034.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Fifth, w/o a funding fix, which the Dems did NOT address when they had a super-majority 111th Congress, we will need to fund out of gen rev.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017

Sixth, stop LYING to people about "CUTS" to social security. Nobody is calling for cutting social security checks: more like revised COLAs.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Oh, that's like saying you can have your First Amendment rights, so long as you stay in your safe space. Not a chance, left-fascist!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Let's then topple the Lincoln Memorial, a man responsible for the loss of over 600K American lives.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Robert Lee was speaking for himself. Others saw symbols against the War of Northern Aggression as symbolic of a distinct Southern culture.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
The politically correct leftists attack Confederate statues because the statues can't fight back.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
Wouldn't you like to see a remake of "Mannequin" called "Confederate Statue" where the anti-Southern radicals get their butts kicked?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
I'm glad to see Trump finally found his voice against the alt-right; I thought he was going through amnesia like he couldn't remember Duke— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
If Trump can't remember all men/people are to be treated equally under the law, he has no business being POTUS.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 15, 2017
