One of the patriotic news feeds I read each day is published by The Patriot Post. Today’s “Daily Quote” was so pointed toward the political reality in our country, I just couldn’t resist passing it on to my readers …

“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.” –Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
