"I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it." - George Washington farewell address - 1796
@screakpilled They can be used in fun but the vast majority of people are just too irresponsible for balloons. Imagine being too irresponsible for a balloon.
@deaflibertarian Yeah, I can make a mean Marsala, even risotto, but ask me to make a pizza from scratch and somehow the dough comes out undercooked in the middle.
The best argument to persuade renters that the constitutional amendment for property tax reduction is better for them:
It would limit increases in their landlord's property values to 5% per year instead of the current 10%.
This mitigates the effect of millage rate increases.
My Grandfather died 5 years ago. Today, Erika Kirk sent him a letter asking for money.
Why are they targeting the elderly?
Contact your elder loved ones and make sure they know not to give a dime to TPUSA until the video of Charlie naming Erika as his successor is released!
