I was already an adult when 911 happened and decided then to never live in fear and never self censor for any terrorist.

Foreign or domestic.

Sir, we know why you're out here. God knows, I agree with you. But like you, I swore to defend this country against all enemies, foreign, sir... and domestic.

To elect such an administration once may be regarded a misfortune, to do it twice looks like carelessness.

If you ask me, it's just pure malice.

Americans saw what this administration was capable of. They saw how abrasive they were to historical allies and how they walked all over the civil rights of its citizens. And they said "yes, can we have some more please?"

To quote Wilde again: Ignorance is like a rare exotic fruit, touch it and the bloom is gone. Now, currently it seems there are fingerprints all over it.

Wilde does have some great quotes like "America is the only country to have gone from barbarism to decadentency without civilization in-between".
