QOTD - With Easter Egg

Found  at Townhall, via writer John Hawkins:

When you start to conclude that it's okay for your side to ignore the law, break the rules and defeat your political enemies by any means necessary*, you're veering into dangerous territory. It's dangerous because a republic can't function over the long haul when one side of the political debate is treated as above the law. Either the law applies equally to both sides of the political debate or good people will begin to feel that they have no choice other than to operate outside the law in order to get justice.

* emphasis mine, this bit is from Saul Alinsky, whose advice, it has been noted, works both ways.
