He set the tone and comparison by describing the Civil War as a “moment of great turmoil in the country, the country literally tearing itself apart,” and then approximated a quote attributed to Grant, including the necessity of sustaining the nation, government, and laws. And at that moment of great turmoil in the country, the country literally tearing itself apart, Grant wrote that “Whatever my prior political positions have been, my prior opinions have been up until this point, I have but only one objective now.” And Grant then said, “We have a government and laws and a flag and they must all be sustained.” Government, laws, and a Flag. And what Grant said is, “There are but two parties in America right now: patriots and traitors.” And at this moment, when Reverend Barber talked about the need for us to put principle over party, we’re calling upon our Republican colleagues, as we approach this budget, to put the American people first.
