In Mel Brooks’ brilliant comedy, Blazing Saddles, there is a scene where movie villain Hedley Lamarr (that’s HEDLEY) is hiring bands of criminals to further his evil designs. During the assignment of badges to these social reprobates, one group of Mexican banditos is heard to comment, “Badges! Badges! We don’t need no stinking badges!”
The reverse is true in modern Amerika (spelling intentional), where outlaws have taken over the administration and management of our country. Amerika has literally become a country where organized crime wears a badge.
