The difference between 1963 and 2004 is quite stark. Regardless of political affiliation, most Americans today don't engage in the silly idol-worship of politicians that was so common back then. In fact, the 1990s taught us that the Mexican immigrant working for the local landscaper probably has more integrity than many political figures in this country.

It is very sobering to see what is going on today with anti-Bush sentiment. And yet I see commentators on the news going on about how politics has always been cruel at times and people say mean things and blah blah blah. But not like this. I can remember the stuff people said about Nixon, and about Reagan and Clinton, and it doesn't hold a candle to what people are doing and saying about Bush. Additionally, the internet has brought leftists and hate-mongers across the globe into the fray.
Then you gotta wonder, where will it go from here?

When I was eight years old, school was let out early. The teachers were inexplicably upset, several were crying. But we students weren't. We were happy to be suddenly released. I didn't begin to be troubled until I got home and saw that my mother was crying too.

"Honey, I have to tell you something," she said. "The president's been shot."

Wow. Exactly the same thing that I experienced, albeit I was 12. I hope I never live to see another President assasinated, be he be Democrat, Republican or some third party... I will never forget that day.

I'm watching my republic slowly but surely going down the tubes, but I would never wish death to any President. FMCDH(BITS)

I love America-- and by inference, it's leaders and representatives.

I am afraid. There is a sickness spreading through the nation-- not just among the left. All people are suseptible and none are immune.

If you are reading this-- don't succumb to this sickness.

We are ONE NATION.

Much has changed. I believe it was Thomas Sowell who observed that a good deal of the nation's social history over the last thirty years has been spent replacing what worked with what felt good. I wonder what year he first observed that?

"Nor would I nod in agreement with lunatics who believe that Hillary murdered Vince Foster and dumped his body in a park."

Either hillary got to this idiot, or he can't read or think for himself!

How many have DIED simply for knowing the clintons?

I spent 12 years in the Marine Corps and did not know as many people who died MYSTERIOUSLY and VIOLENTLY as did the "friends of bill & hillary"
