Ralph Peters: Blind loyalty is un-American
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/05/1...rican.html
Ensnared by party politics, we are forgetting our country. Instead of devoting our loyalties to the Constitution—that sturdy enabler of human aspirations—Republicans and Democrats alike close their eyes to lawlessness, excusing even outright criminality if one of their party’s leaders stands accused.
Finally some from the other side are starting to wake up and smell the coffee.

Look in the mirror and stop projecting. The WaPo story is already falling apart.

Wow, having a VERY short memory must be a requirement for liberals these days. Remember "I've got a pen and a phone"? I don't recall a lot of the left preaching or praising loyalty to the Constitution much over the last 8 years. Suddenly it seems to be in fashion again, wonder why?

I have blind loyalty to one thing. Even when it's not what I want or want to hear.
That one thing?
Truth.

Me too Nodak, but there's the Rep truth and the Dem truth. Each one believes they're the truth. Good thing we have so many researchers on this site to give us the info. I don't believe ANYTHING that comes out of WaPo or NYTimes for one thing. Oh, add the Huffington Post either or MSM.

You are right. People are only going to believe what comes out of the mouths of their own party.
I don't listen to a word Breitbart says, but some republicans quote them as gospel. There are republicans who completely ignore the New York Times, and Dems quote them as gospel
In a sense, it is blind loyalty. We all desperately want what we believe to be true, and are really slow to accept when what we believe is not true.

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
(Unless a Democrat is in office, then dissent is racist.)
(Or if a female is running for President, at which point dissent is misogynist.)

And this is why we need the system to work. Allow the investigations to continue. We have a system in place to take care of things like this.
