“The democratic tendency to make gods of successful politicians makes it all the more necessary to oppose them vigorously. If they were thought of by the public as mere men it might be possible to allow a great deal for their common human fallibility, but once they become gods it is reasonable and just to estimate them as gods.” -H. L. Mencken
[There is far too much hero worship going on amongst all political parties these days. It would be far healthier for us to acknowledge that these people are also human, and prone to the same foibles of humanity as the rest of us.]
