'For the Good of the Party' by William Norman Grigg

'For the Good of the Party' by William Norman Grigg: "In a free society, 'law enforcement' wouldn't exist, although the presence of peace officers would be tolerated. Conditionally. In a constitutional republic, public demonstration of distrust toward 'law enforcement' would be considered a token of conscientious citizenship. In the American Soyuz, however, criticizing 'law enforcement' is akin to engaging in 'anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda.' To that supposed offense, Miller added the even more grievous sin of undermining the interests of the Party. Acting on dubious procedural grounds, the Committee demanded Miller's resignation.

'Mr. Miller's statements regarding the SWAT raid have created serious problems for our elected officials, money raising efforts and have divided the Party,' fulminated the commissars in a public rebuke. 'Mr. Miller was given repeated opportunities to either mend these fences or resign his position, and has chosen to do neither.'

As committee member Brian Brenner explained: 'This is solely about the interests of the Pima County Republican Party.' Nothing else is – individual liberty, the preservation of the rule of law, or even the integrity of the constitutional framework for which Republicans express such pious reverence – is consequential."
