Our deer in the headlights moment is amost over. And surprise has turned to anger. I've not heard the country roar like this since the early 70s.
That pleases me to no end...
He was also the first president packaged by the machine. The military/Industrial complex that surrounds us today
We didn't listen to Ike's warning. He saw it even back then.

Defending the principles of democracy and what that means to Americans may mean sacrifice.
It seems like a simple choice…because it is if you believe in a free and open society.
