Chartist poet Charles Mackay (1814-1889) wrote a poem he titled ‘No Enemies’, which appeared in an anthology of works celebrating and honoring social protest in 19th century Great Britain, much like the protests that come so naturally to both sides in today’s polarized America.

    Qualen : [to Jeremiah, about the pile of trophies left by the Crow outide the cabin] Some say you’re dead on account of this. Some say you never will be… on account of this.
    From the movie Jeremiah Johnson.

    What delusions are popular now, he asks, rhetorically?

    is this poem found in a book somewhere? Not sure if it was in the book titled “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”.
    Thank you,

    “You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip. You’ve never turned the wrong to right. You’ve been a coward in the fight.”
    This pretty much sums up,
    the Republican party’s relationship with Trump.

    Another “screw” America first.
    Finally Trump had them kissing our ass, now this SOB wants the U.S. to do the ass kissing.(again) with tongue.
    Yup,, making apologies to our enemies worked out SO swell.
    The enemy within, returns.

    Wow. Says it all, no need for my input. Good read concerning, “No Enemies”
    FIGHTING WORDS, BY DAVID HOROWITZ
    Our friend David Horowitz wrote this essay, which he titled “Fighting Words.” It is a call for freedom-loving Americans to fight back against the totalitarian Left.

    No enemies…..except those within.
    ‘Tom Cotton: Biden’s Pick For Homeland Security Is ‘Disqualified’ For ‘Selling Citizenship’ To Chinese Nationals’
    He was found by Barack Obama’s inspector general to be guilty of selling green cards to Chinese nationals on behalf of rich Democratic donors,” Cotton said. “Think about that. Selling citizenship to well-connected Chinese nationals on behalf of Democratic Party donors. That is disqualifying…”
    In tweeting out the clip, Cotton added: “Alejandro Mayorkas was found by Barack Obama’s Inspector General to be guilty of selling Green Cards to Chinese nationals on behalf of rich, democratic donors. He is disqualified from leading the Department of Homeland Security.”

    And good ole Jake Sullivan standing with Hillary defending her destroying 30,000 pieces of evidence subpoenaed by Congress. Contempt of Congress apparently only applies to ‘Nazis.’
    What’s next. Ben Rhodes laughing again that he sold dumb as a bucket of rocks journalists that Obama was dealing with the moderates in Iran, only to laugh about it later saying there are no moderates in the Iran Theocracy, roflmao.
