Those who dont love if hud has been emphasized with increasing intensity is the flaws. You have got several generations of kids who have been educated to believe that this country stinks, that it was born in sin and continued to be pursue evil objectives, etc. That is why i keep harping on this issue. I still think it is the major issue facing us, and conservatives at least not of all stripes i have to say i the only force in the country that can be relied upon to at least i think stop it, this particular history, i think, we can yell stop and succeed because we can draw on the deepest resources of this countrys tradition to fight it and if we dont nobody elt me b whitaker chambers.
