  • Our presidents were different kinds of men then.

    They were heroes in the face of evil.

    They spoke frankly, and with respect to america and american values.

    Now, our presidents are shifty and false.

    They are opportunists.

    They speak in circles with no respect or care for america, american values, and americans.

    God bless these heroes of times past...

    I only hope that their time comes round again.

  • Almost everyone in America underestimated Harry Truman when he became President, perhaps even President Truman himself.
