| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
If it weren’t for the French, you Americans would be speaking English.” A comment in the run up to Macron’s Address to Congress this morning. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

And the corollary: If it weren't for the Americans, you French would be speaking German. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

Absolutely, and as my favorite wife is French, whose parents spent a few years of their lives under the Nazi thumb, I am delighted and thankful it is so.

| Thank you Very little  |
There is truth in both statements, we've helped each other in the past, to thwart a common enemy in the name of freedom. | |||
