The speech

Collectivist drivel. Four more years of listening to what the Russians got for 70.

"Everyone who watched the growth of [the Nazi and Fascist] movements in Italy and Germany has been struck by the number of leading men, from Mussolini downward, who began as socialists and ended as Fascists or Nazis. And what is true of the leaders is even more true of the rank and file of the movement. . . Many a university teacher during the 1930s has seen English and American students return from the Continent uncertain whether they were communists or Nazis and certain only that they hated Western liberal civilization."
The Road to Serfdom, F.A. Hayek.

throw all the cold water you want. You can't change history.You just get more sour as you keep this up. I feel utterly sorry for you at present.

Save your pity for those who cling to this man like he's some sort of savior. His speech sounded like something from the 1950s--one would think that all the billions spent and achievements made were for nothing. He hates us and the country.
