G.K. Chesterton on Hanging Politicians

gk_chesterton_politiciansI made this image and posted it recently on FaceTwitter. The family and I went out to eat at Burgatory and the Inauguration Orgy was on all six of the TVs that I was facing. It annoyed me (and the wife) but we were at least able to eat.

I tried looking for the entire article that contained this quote to give it some context, but it seems that it’s lost to antiquity. It’s a rather profane quote, yet Chesterton didn’t officially become a Catholic (and a Christian, I presume) until a year after this was published. He could wield hyperbole like a rapier, so something tells me he would still hold the sentiment after getting himself right with the Big Guy.
