23. I've said for years the Democrats need another LBJ!

I didn't realize FDR was the same. I knew he was a fighter, and I knew he'd call them as he saw them. But I'd never put him on the same level as LBJ in that regard. Actually makes me admire him even more. And we so very much need a kick-ass Democrat to run and win the presidency. I love Obama, but no more of this Looking Forward. No more of our vaunted Tolerance. I want someone who will take back our Country -- the one the Founders bequeathed us -- and either deport, execute, or jail all the traitors of the past 10 years.
