Time to stand up to politics

Perhaps it would be worth the effort to revisit the legacy of Major Vidkun Quisling, who led Norway when it was occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. Are there any parallels to the current political environment and actions of our elected leaders? Sad!

A quote attributed to Alexander Hamilton, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything,” may also be applicable for consideration by our representatives. Disappointment.
