- Description:
- The Clifford Baldowski cartoon depicts five scenes of Senator Jeremiah Denton (R-AL) speaking to another man. In the first, he says "Certainly I believe in the first amendment, but we can't have reporters sneaking and snooping around divulging the government's thinkings and doings." In the second scene, Denton adds: "or restrain the FBI from following up every hunch, guess, intuition-- into every nook and cranny-- digging out anybody that don't look right." In the third scene, Denton holds the other man by his tie while saying "or restrict the moral majority of the people in this country from interspersing religious doctrine with secular, technical godless teachings." In the fourth, he continues "what kind of government would we have under those conditions?" In the final frame, the other man replies "a democracy-- maybe?"
