(180 posts)I've been lurking this site since the Top 10 conservative idiots was still in the single digits. I don't post much, but I do enjoy the viewpoints and knowledge expressed here.
H20 Man, I really have enjoyed reading your posts over the years. You have always been thought provoking, and provide a unique insight and historical context to events I would never have experienced. This post has been one of the most entertaining I have read on DU. It's rare that I will want to read each and every response in a thread sure to go several hundred replies, but this has been must read material!!
I was born in February 1968, so I didn't truly understand the impact of that year's events until several years later. My first exposure and understanding of politicians was President Nixon, so I started out with a mistrust of government officials right away. My outlook sure didn't improve once the Reagan administration set a record for convicted officials. I know I don't need to say a word about Bush the Lesser.
Thank you for starting an amazing post, and thanks to all who have shared.
