“This Communistic fascism that is slowly creeping in…it’s a thing, it’s a real thing. Where will we be, tell me that? I want to live in a country of opportunity, where any child–black, white, whatever–can grow up to be a world-famous rhythm guitarist. That’s what the Founding Fathers wanted.

I never “liked” a comment before.
Nicely done. COTD.
