I'll say it again.
I come from an era when politicians were SOBs but they were our SOBs.
Now of course most are just SOBs.
Which reminds me of when seniors chased Dan Rostenkowski through the streets of Chicago. He barely made to his government limo. That scared the hell out of the chairman of Ways and Means and the rest of Congress. The seniors got that law repealed immediately.
Which further reminds me, by now it's likely "deadly force authorized" to approach an elected official outside a scheduled event.
Every two-hundred-year-old nation is entitled to at least one patriot-dictator. A Man on Horseback. Another George Washington. Whoever you are out there, get on the damn horse!
