    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    38 years later and I still find the videos of this rescue op to be so inspirational.

    Lenny Skutnik, CBO's Most Famous Employee, Retires ...
    https://www.cbo.gov/publication/25080

    Lenny Skutnik is a household name belonging to an unassuming Congressional Budget Office employee who insists he “wasn’t a hero” when one winter day in 1982 he jumped from the shore into the icy Potomac River to save a drowning woman after an Air Florida flight crashed on takeoff. “I was just someone who helped another human being,” Lenny said later.

    Wrong. I cheered the fact that Obama, tho reluctantly, ok'ed the kill order for Osama.

    If he turned out to be a Trump supporter, you'd call him a russo bot hole.

    You have a whole group of police and rescue workers following gov't procedure and watching her drown, when suddenly, a "nobody" comes out of the crowd and dives into the icy water. And triggers everyone into action.

    The one thing I really liked about the STOU Address, was how he made all the Democrats attend Rush's award ceremony.

    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    No, I'm comparing him to a 10 year old girl getting a scholarship <sarcasm off>

    Now, STFU, watch the videos, ... and thank me for giving you a "feel good" moment about America for once in your life.
