The average citizen wants our leaders to keep the country safe and we don’t much care how it’s done as long as we don’t have another Boston bombing or 9-11. We vote you in and expect you to do whatever it takes.
The average citizen (these days, perhaps not all) probably doesn’t even know the difference between the Emma Lazarus poem v/s the winner of a Readers Digest contest, the Boy Scouts of America motto, the Pledge of Allegiance or the Oath of Office that our purported keepers of the Constitution swear to upon taking elected office.
Lest I be accused being a women hater, allow me to add the best ... The Girl Scouts of America...
careful, it’s sexist... Be Prepared
