My dear Chuck thank you for the look back at Party Conventions, as there is nothing we can count on more than how history repeats itself.

If Joe Biden drops out which I actually now expect him to have another chaotic convention in Chicago, I feel like Chicago is pretty much used to chaotic conventions by now

[@erinthomasson1399]

I'm in need of your prayers and support. Please keep me in your thoughts as I navigate my health journey.

Please do not put Kennedy in the same picture as that monster Reagan

[@Bl00dMalice]

6:40 - Last time? We saw Obama do the exact same thing, if not moreso when he made Biden his VP and Hillary his SoS and then others, too.

"There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks on the administration of government and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. -but those of popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged." President George Washington 1796

"You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with law & order --or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path." Ronald Reagan 1964

Same guy who signed legislation prohibiting open carrying of firearms in public. So much for individual freedom.

"The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my convictions is that the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated. Let the open enemy to it be regarded as a Pandora with her box opened and the disguised one as the Serpent creeping with his deadly wiles into Paradise." James Madison 1834

Federalist# 78 "Hence it is, that there can be but few men in the society who will have sufficient skill in the laws to qualify them for the stations of judges. And making the proper deductions for the ordinary depravity of human nature, the number must be still smaller of those who unite the requisite integrity with the requisite knowledge." Publius
