"If you begin to consider yourself solely responsible to a political party, you're half-way to a dictatorship." --Clement Attlee "The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction [political party] more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty." --George Washington Unquestioned loyalty to a political party—any political party—is the bane of freedom. People with such unpatriotic and dangerous devotion elevate the interests of their party above the interests of their country. All political parties are fraught with foibles, falsehoods and failures. The previous presidency and Congress and the current presidency and Congress are quintessential examples of the wisdom spoken by the two men above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lHoLAwy-Eo
