Gilbert Keith Chesterton Quote

“For good or evil, a line has been passed in our political history; and something that we have known all our lives is dead. I will take only one example of it: our politicians can no longer be caricatured.”

It can be very dangerous to caricature a "god": just ask any Caesar (or Obama).

When caricatures become the truth, caricatures can no longer be drawn.
