“All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.”

― Edmund Burke

And I will note that he was most likely referring to the birth of what became Communism, in the French Revolution.

Do we have good people out there still?  Senators and Congresspeople, both at the State and national level?  Or will they simply hand our nation over to cheaters, crooks and liars, and in so doing betray their Party, their people, the rule of law, and every principle of decency they ever ought to have learned?

Will we be betrayed, all of us?  When peaceful means are exhausted, why would alternative strategies not start appearing?  And how will all the troubles that may come from that not be the direct responsibility of those who had the opportunity and duty to do the right thing, and who chose instead the paths of cowardice and dereliction?
