"....The last five years have probably been the DAMAGING five years in America's history. We have lost the moral high ground from which we used to champion human rights in world affairs. We have lost our credibility. We have lost the respect of the world community. We are losing our technological edge, and industry has fled our nation. And through all this the Democrats have twiddled their fucking thumbs and whispered an occassional "tsk tsk" while these maniacs in the White House have made a MOCKERY out of every tenet and ideal that we used to pride ourselves in. "This country is in deep shit, and it is going to take a leader of far greater charisma, far greater power of presence, and far stronger moral fiber, than the current batch of clowns in Washington have to offer, to pull us out of this mess." - - - Carroll
