Republican Party Now Essentially a Cult

 

 Even the King of Siam abolished prostration. 

 

 

 With the announcement by the Republican Party that it will forego the normal party platform, and instead provide Our Military Leader with unquestioning support, the party of Lincoln has become as good as the first cult to put forth any kind of serious candidate for the Presidency.

If you doubt this judgment, think back to the fall-in-line behavior of the Republicans in Congress during the Impeachment process;   or most any other Congressional action -- with very few exceptions.  Almost inevitably, Republicans have supported the President.   There are some notable exceptions, the most famous being Senator Mitt Romney.   

But for the most part we have a symphony of sycophants, singing the song of a solipsist.
