This relatively unified America can’t be compared with that of the second Nixon term, when the violent cultural and political upheavals of the late 1960s were still fresh. But in at least one way there may be a precise political parallel in the aftermaths of two failed presidencies rent by catastrophic wars: Americans are exhausted by anger itself and are praying for the mood pendulum to swing. I don't know......I don't think people are exhausted by anger........I think their anger is growing. And I have real trouble with this business of "we can't"....we can't end the war in Iraq; we can't build a fence with Mexico; we can't establish national health coverage; etc. I heard the same thing from the participants in the Democratic debates today. Richardson, for one, is all for legalizing the 12 million illegals here in this country because "we can't" live without them. The truth is I don't trust any Latino on this subject and I don't trust any leader who says "we can't".
