Many years ago, a childhood friend of mine who had joined the army visited me while on leave. He was an infantry lieutenant, and Reagan was president at the time.

We were talking over beers (nonalcoholic, of course) and suddenly he said to me, "If Dutch gives the word, we'll fix bayonets and clear out Congress for him."

I was, to say the least, surprised by that comment. So I suppose such ideas are just below the surface in many people. At least with my friend, I knew who the target would be.

Who would be the target today? The Congress? The President? Troublesome conservatives?

Be careful what we wish for. The pendulum swings both ways.
