Capitol Hill Blue Forums Misc. Topics Ain't This America Slavery by Another Name

Toots,
As issodhos has aptly pointed out, there is no valid reason to look back at any prior era to gain understanding of current mind sets. Whatever George Bush, Dick Cheyney, Donald Rumsfeld, etc., have done to drive this country down the rathole; regardless of what Bill and Hillary Clinton may have done during their co-presidency to shame America; whatever embarrassment Jimmy Carter may have caused us by his totally ineffecutal leadership on the Iran hostage crisis; etc., etc., etc. (Yul Brynner), none of that matters. We need not consider that ancient history in our thinking about the current election or a future administration.
