Polling Over Principles Is Killing Us

SEE HERE Let's get something perfectly straight. Polling is asking a bunch of uninformed people which of a bunch of alternatives sounds the best to them. That's not a measure of reality, it's a measure of rhetoric. What we need is action based on principles and truth not on perceptions and propaganda. The Republicans or somebody needs to start getting it while the republic still exists. I've been listening to a Teaching Company course on the History of Rome and it's sobering to hear in the recounting of the Roman history so many themes that recur in our own history. We are on the same track and largely for the same reasons that led ultimately to the dissolution of Rome. The difference? — We're doing it faster!
