Have You No Sense of Decency Ms. Gramley, At Long Last?

Fifty-four years ago today a courageous Army General, Joseph Welch, responded to the witch hunts and political crusades of Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) by saying:

"I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you no sense of decency?"

It was a powerful turning point in American history.

Perhaps the time is coming when the collective voice of Venango County residents will finally say to those who continue to attack gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender residents and friends:

HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY?

AT LONG LAST, HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY?
