The furries have not killed America!

I think this country's leaders refusing to have any curiosity about the world outside their borders has led to many problems that have trickled down to the general population. It's not necessarlity intolerance, but pride in being ignorant.

Where are the statesmen? I believe that Ron Paul is in Minneapolis as I type this.

Yeah, but they're not letting him in the arena to wear the funny hats.
