(#6183) The ends don't justify the means!

      Breaking national and international law is not justification for getting results. Otherwise everyone would be doing it to reach their goals if needed. The do as I say and not as I do hypocrisy does not work under a democracy! Personally I wanted maduro removed like I want other tyrants around the world removed but not through extrajudicial means. If we start to recede from civilized behavior the wild west paradigm will be our reality. I know that the republican party would love that for America but they are not the ones who expect to be harmed by it. They want the rest of us to bear the brunt of pain and suffering as some kind of mentally sick satisfaction.
     I do blame republicans for all of this division in our nation. Instead of embracing diversity and being tolerant to real life turmoil, they choose to turn away from it and focus on their own desires. We here in America have ample opportunities to better ourselves and help others along the way. But not if we keep electing public officials who only want to create division and some kind of class distinctions. Instead of progress in areas that afflict all of us they wish to maintain the status quo and/or revert back to troubled times where the fear of dying is always present. Instead of helping humankind become an existence worthy of living they make existence a drudgery of failure and despondency.
     Never in my lifetime have I experienced such a chasm between two main political parties as we have today. The republicans are haughty and oblivious to harm. We democrats want to reduce harm. The distinction is as clear as ever! Yet the worst of what humanity can produce seems to be unclear to too many Americans. When the people in the republican party disregard the rule of law and the foundation of society to achieve any goal they think they deserve, the rest of us and the world as well suffer from their ideal of any means justifies an end. If that doesn't stop immediately then the consequences will be graver than just arguments.
