No you fool they did not think of themselves as "the huddled masses", matter of fact they knew themselves winners and then they went out and proved it. What you quote is part of bit of nonsense from some proto-commie kook, and in no sense represents the sentiments of my ancestors. Face it your bit of moralizing is feckless feel goodism more reminiscent of Clinton than republican virtue.
If you have not read the quote about "huddled masses" lately maybe you should try a book. If you are into reading you might try a conservative like Octavio Paz. Then you will understand admiration instead of anger.
too bad guys like you don't actually read the Rules on Free Repbulic i.e NO personal attacks. Too bad you can't disagree without being disagreeable.
