1. That brought tears to my eyes

So much of what we take for granted today came from the Great Society.

Will we ever have a decade as progressive as that again?

We need a dem who can inspire with his vision of the next wave of the great society. She or he would stand in stark contrast to the darkness of the republicans.

Only to have him burrow down and infest this entire nation a generation later. It's so sad.
