With three other unkempt and disorderly young people, I knocked on the office door of Mike Mansfield, D-MT, the then Senate Majority Leader.

The Capitol is now a fortress, it's impossible to get in there unless you're on a tour, and our "leaders" tremble behind their guarded, closed doors.
My how times have changed!
Yes, I'm sure you're right.
I wonder if Soros and Ayers have cast Obama to play the part of the Reichstag?
After all, as every good Leninist knows, you can't make an omlet without breaking eggs...
