I’m laughing. I’m cynical, yes, maybe.
I’m laughing because I’m wondering just how much more we can do than we have done within the law? We all but gave a mandate at the election that has been ignored.
We call, we write, we have done everything short of tar and feathers and running the bastards out of the capitol on a rail. That sounds like a great idea to me.
The one thing we haven’t tried is actually making our representatives accountable to the most basic obligations of their oaths.
“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”
