Well, at least your true colors are showing. From my post you may infer that I am a Muslim, Jew, or Christian who believes the 10 Commandments are Divine law, or an atheist who thinks the 10 suggestions are a pretty good rule of thumb. The boy claims to be a Christian.

Imagine Original June 19, 1998 William L. Davis Imagine. Imagine a pot-smoking, woman-chasing, long-hair 60's type evading the draft during the Vietnam War by deceiving a highly decorated military hero into giving him a special dispensation to enroll in ROTC, only to turn around and go to Oxford instead, to publicly demonstrate against his own country. Imagine this good-for-nothing liar and cheat getting elected governor of a state! Imagine this guy engaging in many and varied forms of financial corruption, using his police bodyguards as pimps, exposing himself to women he's never met in hotel rooms rented expressly for the purpose, becoming cozy with small-time and big-time crooks, pardoning convicted drug distributors, and making liberal use of bribes, threats, and lies to cover up all of his misdeeds. Imagine this character getting elected President of the United States! Imagine him firing career employees to make room for his old cronies, and covering up what was really going on by siccing the FBI and DOJ on the unfortunates. Imagine this aging hippie dismantling the entire White House security apparatus so that his old pals, mostly druggie anti-Vietnam veterans, could work there. Imagine this sleazeball lying under oath about his involvement in the scandals back home, lying publicly about everything else imaginable, and arranging for a small fortune in hush money to be paid to a former crony to tell still more lies on his and his wife's behalf. Imagine this amazing felon firing the FBI director on a ridiculous pretext, then obtaining hundreds, or maybe thousands, of raw FBI files on political opponents; then covering up the whole thing by illegally withholding subpoenaed documents. Imagine him hiring gumshoes to dig up dirt about anyone on his enemies' list. Imagine him employing a whole army of people whose only job is to tell lies on his behalf and discredit and if possible discourage anyone who tries to criticize or investigate him. Imagine this team using every trick in the book, legal and illegal, to slow down and derail any and all investigations into his conduct. Imagine this piece of sludge using the Oval Office to sexually assault White House employees and play around with airheaded interns. Imagine him treating the Lincoln Bedroom as a high-priced hotel suite. Imagine this very same fellow taking campaign contributions from all comers in return for any favors it was in his power to give, and trying to make sure that no one would find out where the money was really coming from by dismantling the group responsible for checking out donors. Imagine this pond scum, among many, many other quid pro quo's, selling out his country by passing gobs of high-tech military secrets to a major hostile foreign power in return for big-time payoffs. Imagine that, in the process, he sets off a new nuclear arms race that destabilizes a large region. Imagine him rewarding our enemies while stabbing our friends in the back all over the world. And now imagine this traitor continuing to be highly popular with the citizenry, even getting high marks for his conduct of foreign policy, and being considered untouchable because he's the people's favorite. Imagine! But no, try as I might, I simply can't imagine it. This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Nothing remotely like this could ever happen here.
