I don’t know FF,

…I didn’t find the post suggesting we should jail them all and let God sort them out so funny as so very romantic…almost dreamy.

Who can fault a rueful reminiscence over a political time and place wherein the people that politically offended your political sensibilities could just be thrown into the can without the spectacle of a trial and all that dreary legal stuff.

You know, some people’s politics are, simply put, a crime and the malefactors should expect to be treated accordingly; let’s face it, political prisoners were once a di rigeur part of any “progressive” state worth the name…be a damned laughing stock without ‘em.

[Edit: Sandy Berger’s felonies don’t count, don’t be silly.]

So, who can blame our own romantics, here on cc, from getting all mushy thinking about the golden era and the good ole days when ‘PC’ wasn’t just a social convention.
