Chill out you all. Dr. Paul is probably following Winston Churchill’s sage advice.

When Churchill sent his formal declaration of war to the emperor of Japan, he signed it “Your humble and obedient servant.” The press rose up as one and said the British equivalent of WTF. Churchill famously replied: “When you’re going to kill a man, courtesy costs you nothing.”

(For Obamabot trolls, I suppose it’s necessary to add that I am speaking figuratively in terms of Dr. Paul “killing” the president.)

“When you’re going to kill a man, courtesy costs you nothing.”

I have yet to see the declaration of war or any other clear and open expression of an intention "to kill a man" much less a clear and open declaration that anyone in this whole mob of thieves and fascist thugs is going to be tried for their crimes. So far, no one is even promising to take even a minor clerk before a Roman pantomime theater troop for stern looks from the actor and harsh language from the chorus. Were the stated intentions of Paul attached to a declaration of war, I could care less about what degree of formal niceties he included.

For decades there's been far too much civility granted with very, very, little returned and that approach has led to nothing except a sense of dejected dismay descending on Republicans who treat these fascists as if they were normal, rational, fellow Americans. They are not. They and their leader are enemies of this nation and I see no reason to be kind to Emperor Barry until such time as we can magnanimously reduce his sentence to life in prison after his conviction for high treason.

"Chill out" is exactly the advice everyone followed when Republicans gained control of Congress not so very long ago and not keeping the heat on those elected as well as the opposition led to Congress returning to business as usual but with Republicans having better seats at the pig trough. If anything, it's time to turn the heat up, not chill out. Courtesy and collegial kindness are the last things I want to see flowing from the Republican majority in the House or the Republican minority in the Senate either one.

Regards
