That hunger for leadership is a powerful thing. Who among us isn't craving strong conservative leadership right now? We could well be swayed by someone who would go too far. And many here would not consider it a bridge too far if it was against the hated leftists.

It was hell, and they were looking for a way out. Unfortunately, desperation doesn’t typically lend itself to making good choices, and Hitler’s ascendancy merely confirms that truth.
