Beware the Four Horsemen of Calumny

I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.

 

I doubt if the Republican Party could—simply because I don’t believe the American people will uphold any political party that puts political exploitation above national interest. Surely we Republicans aren’t that desperate for victory.

Sadly, people on both sides of the border are giving leave to politicians to put partisan gain by whatever means ahead of ethics, value, honesty and respect.  What happens when good people choose to do nothing about abuses of the system?
