Just let this sink in.
The people will pay the ultimate price.
The rule of law is fundamental to our democracy.
So, don’t tell me it is a fact that
a single man is the only answer to all our problems.
People create such complex problems. I know
our elected leaders are constantly confused and
frustrated to no end by the fact that
it is impossible to reach everyone that is
struggling with life and a need to feel heard.
They want to hear, “I alone can save you,” while
reality forces us to tell them the hard truth.
Authoritarianism is the belief that at it’s core
one man, not all the people, is what is important.
Just let this sink in when I say emphatically,
The people will pay the ultimate price.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
