Where America used to be
We’ll be saying that some day. We are not governed by elected officials. We are governed by bureaucrats who chip away at the edges. Eventually, the edges get close together. Unless there are consequences, which is why there should be legal consequences for bureaucrats.

And people get mad at me when I suggest maybe returns to that age old and harmless tradition of tar and feathering then running them out of town on a rail.

Oh, for our Public Servants to Face the Consequences of their Actions! But like Joe said, it’ll be a Dangerous Path to go down. Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, FDR, Obama all came to Power telling people that they were “Saving” their Nation from the Enemy. The George Washingtons are much rarer than Dictator WannaBe’s.

I hate to quote from a cartoon, but there is a beautiful line from “Giant Robo” in which a villain says “Public officials who fail in their duty should be executed.” While perhaps 99 times out of 100 I wouldn’t go that far, I do wholeheartedly agree that anyone, regardless of being in or out of the gov’t should be held accountable for crimes they commit, just like everyone else.

I still think they should be reminded that they work for us, and that they DON’T get Secret Service protection.
