Endorsed by Bush, Cheney, and Putin, She’s the Only Hope for America
She’s in great company, isn’t she? Critical thinking is overrated anyway.

I came to a self-confident America in the summer of 1999 when Yeltsin and Clinton were still presidents and Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way ruled the radio waves. Help was wanted everywhere in America, even in the boondocks of the Berkshires where fate had brought me.
Not that I cared that much about politics in my early twenties, but I didn’t like the appointment of Bush II as president when I attended a community college in Massachusetts. Democrats were our friends in Russia. Or so we were led to believe. Liberals back then still championed classical liberalism in politics and economics.I was in disbelief when the Twin Towers went down when I just started my junior year as a transfer student at one of the most selective colleges in America. Many of my schoolmates’ parents worked in or near the Twin Towers. I was in still greater disbelief when a couple of days later Bush blamed Afghanistan for the attacks.
