Those afflicted with Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome don't suffer alone; they inflict real harm on the country as well

Marlin Stutzman, a House member from Indiana has been thrown off the chamber's whip team by Pub establishment leadership.  His transgression was giving a thumbs-down to the current iteration of the farm bill.

This guy is a third-generation farmer.  He's in the field when he's not in Washington.  He had the spine to say that he was in the particular economic sector in question and was asserting that it didn't need the kind of government largesse that has been automatically assumed every five-year cycle going back to 1933.

He's experiencing a setback at the moment, but there's a future for this guy.  In a world starved for principle, he has garnered notice from those who love freedom.

It's the Reasonable Gentlemen who value the status quo over limited government who are in their twilight.
