The Democrats of Congress seem at the moment to be acting like liberal Republicans during the Great Society, always worried about the cost of things and never the meaning. Without a message they wince; they are acting like what H.L. Mencken said of the Puritans, that
they lived in constant fear that someone, somewhere is having a good time.
Who else would have ever thought to compare Democraps with Calvinists!

What bothers Democrats isn't anyone having a 'good time' (that is what keeps the people duped), but that someone may actually be free from their power.
