There's a quote attributed to Jeb floating around the Internet, as follows:
The truth is useless. You have to understand this right now. You can't deposit the truth in a bank. You can't pay rent with the truth. You can't buy groceries with the truth. The truth is a useless commodity that will hang around your neck like an albatross, all the way to the homeless shelter. And if you think that the million or so people in this country that are really interested in the truth about their government can support people who would tell them the truth, you got another think coming. Because the million or so people in this country that are truly interested in the truth don't have money.Now, it's possible Jeb never said that. Even if he didn't, there is little doubt that it captures both his and the entire political firmament's corrupt belief system, "left" or "right." It is pagan worship of utility over truth, and it infuses every unconstitutional welfare program, corporate bailout, regulation not voted on by Congress, executive order, undeclared war, unguarded border, and every Supreme Court decision rubber-stamping same.
Let us contrast Jeb's sentiments with those of John Adams:
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.I will give Jeb credit, though. He is a fitting representative for a majority of the people inhabiting America today.
