Even this month a celebration in their honor – held near Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville, NC, no less – can’t escape the longstanding divisions.

Nancy Pelosi isn’t long as Speaker of the House. But if there’s one constant in our ever-changing world it’s that Pelosi will prove unconscionable until the gavel is wrested from her hand.
