References in classic literature
Montcalm has got him, and with the accursed politeness of his nation, he has sent him in with a doleful tale, of 'knowing how I valued the fellow, he could not think of retaining him' A Jesuitical way that, Major Duncan Heyward, of telling a man of his misfortunes
It was a jesuitical, cold, unfeeling, and selfish manner, that seemed to say, I have kept within the law, to the man he had so cruelly injured.
Well, let me tell you that if I hate anyone here--I hate you all," he cried, in a hoarse, strained voice-" but you, you, with your jesuitical soul, your soul of sickly sweetness, idiot, beneficent millionaire--I hate you worse than anything or anyone on earth
The liberal scandal- mongers delighted in representing the Grand Almoner and the whole Jesuitical Chapter as political, administrative, civil, and military giants.
Scarborough has been pushing it for a few weeks but now McCain completely ignores Trump in his latest ad. The Republicans are now starting to accept that Hillary is going to win, so "you need to vote for me, so I can keep a check on her in office".
This is where Democrats NEED to hit back, that Republicans spent the last 8 years controlling Congress and the Senate "putting a check" on Obama, but all they did was "put a BLOCK" on everything. When the public complains about "Washington not working", it's down to the same Republicans like John McCain, Ryan and McConnell blocking the work of Government. It's time to change teach Republicans a lesson that the people come first, not their narrow-minded, hateful and lowlife tactics.
