There seems to be an amazing number of good ol’ folks in our country that would benefit from a basic lesson about rattlesnakes and politics. When a rattlesnake smiles, hisses and shakes his tail at you it should not be taken as an invitation to pick him up and proudly hold him to your political heart. If you choose to pick up a rattlesnake and he sinks his venomous fangs deep into your chest then the snake is never to blame. He’s a snake. End of lesson.
