Pic of the Day: “Napoleon once said, when asked to explain the lack of great statesmen in the world, that ‘to get power you need to display absolute pettiness. To exercise power, you need to show true greatness’. Such pettiness and such greatness are rarely found in one person. I look upon the events of the past weeks and I’ve never come so to grips with that quotation. So, ladies and gentlemen of this Congress, it pains my soul to tell you that you have brought blood and shame under this great dome. Your leadership has raised the stakes of hate to a level where we can no longer separate the demagogue from the truly inspired. And believe this, there are traitors among us. And I’m not talking about those of you who sided against your party leadership. I’m talking about those of you who were patriots to your party but traitors to the necessary end result: that of righteousness, the truth, the concept of making the American dream blind to gender.” (20th Anniversary)
