During a school trip to Washington a group of students were ordered by a park service security guard standing watch over the Lincoln Memorial to stop singing the national anthem.And word came late last night that Republicans have a serious shot at something once thought impossible — taking back the United States Senate.It took the GOP 40 years to take back Congress and 12 years to lose it again. The Democrats look on course to lose the whole thing after only 4 years thanks to Barack Obama.What do singing the national anthem and the GOP taking back Congress have to do with each other?Voters are so hacked off they are of a revolutionary frame of mind — throwing the bums out through violence at the polls. That is far better than the alternative.
