Where have the good old days of politics gone?
Like in 1856, when a political outburst in the U.S. Senate between a conservative and a liberal from New England was quickly and definitively settled. In this particular instance the liberal was a Republican and the conservative was a Democrat.
What was the same as today was, both guys thought the battle was personal as well as ideological and thought the other was not a nice person.
That day the liberal Sen. Sumner of Massachusetts, delivered a speech against slavery. The conservative, a Senator Brooks from South Carolina, was obsessed by his opponent’s hostile position.
His friends suggested challenging Sumner to a duel. But Brooks told them that dueling was too good for such a low class vermin. So he strode into the Senate chamber, raised his ivory-topped cane, and beat Sumner into a coma.
The next year he was re-elected by popular vote.
As Frank Burns said, “If I made any mistakes in this article, they are God’s will or someone else’s fault.”
