RIDE THE ROLLING STONE RECURSION!

● The mind of America is seized by a fatal dry rot – and it’s only a question of time before all that the mind controls will run amuck in a frenzy of stupid, impotent fear.

● I am surprised and embarrassed to be a part of the first American generation to leave the country in far worse shape than it was when we first came into it.

● Nixon represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character almost every other country in the world has learned to fear and despise.

● By disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.

● America… just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

—Headline at NewsBusters on Thursday.

(Besides, why would Republicans want to go where the muse for Obama and Hillary’s mentor resides?)
